I's just wonderin'...what's the preferred press for replacing suspension
bushings? Is it one of those big cast iron bench things with a rack & pinion
lever? Or does someone make a portable hydraulic unit?

The Olds service manual shows an assortment of hand tools that resemble
c-clamps with adapters. Wonder what the full complment of official GM tools
would cost...

Rain-X is really good.  It works just like the ads say.  Water beeds up and 
runs off, you don't have to use your wipers much.  The only thing that keeps 
me from using it more often is the procedure to apply it. 

You apply it once.  Wait until it develops a film on the windshield, then 
apply it again.  Then you clean it off with a wet cloth.  Then dry and clean 
the windshield one more time.  For it to be most effective they recommend 
that you apply it once a month.  I never seem to have the time.

I agree newspaper is very good to use when cleaning windows.  It doesn't

away, so you don't get any newprint on your nice clean car.

Subject: Glass Polishing

I have not tested this process but it sounds like a feasible way to remove
minor to medium glass scratches. J. C. Whitney sells a glass polishing kit
that I'm considering trying to remove a few exterior scratches in Quincy's
door glass.

The kit contains a 3" diameter x 1+ 1/2" thick wool felt polishing wheel
with  a 1/4" mandrel to fit the average variable speed hand drill. It's
suggested to remain below 1,500 RPM for this procedure.

The agent that does the work is an 8 oz. jar of "Cerium Oxide".  It's billed
as a polishing powder but I venture that it's a paste. Or you convert it to
a paste prior to use.

I would imagine that you use the oxide at different varying thickness to
grind/ polish the glass down to remove the scratches. Using the thinnest of
paste to finish the polishing to that smooth luster glass has.

The description for the product states;
"Removes haze, light scratches, etc. from windshields, windows, any glass
surface."

Product # 13DN2455R in catalog # 626J
Whitney's # is 312-431-6102

I am not endorsing this product as I haven't used it. But it's about the
only way I can see to practically remove light surface scratches in our
glass.  YMMV  Has anyone else ever used this or a similar product?  Gary....

 "I even tried a burnout,
but it made no difference at all."


With radials, a burnout does nothing. Don't remember the exact reason...
Also, if your track has a wet burnout stage area, DRIVE AROUND IT, so that
your tires are dry. Spin the tires a LITTLE, to clean of any grit or other
crap.

Letting the air out on radials can give you less traction, as the tire will
cup, choose the right tire pressure by doing moderate burnout on concrete.
The right tire pressure will give you a black patch of even color, while
under inflated will give you two stripes. Overinflated gives you a light
patch on the outside, dark inside.

Tire compounds do help, never tried them myself however. Car Craft stuck
some on their el camino, gave them a couple tenths, although I am sure.

Otherwise, I would jusst say practice, or get yourself some fat hubs and
slicks. I found a good slick set in a junkyard recently, but I couldn't
justify sticking it on my 1984 Park Avenue just yet... Someday perhaps.....

Subject: Going APESH*T over quadrajet carb

Man, oh Man, My car is going into the shop for the 15th time in the last
month. The CCC quadrjet is all screwed up.

When choke is on, car runs great. As soon as choke comes off, car hesitate
big time whenever throttle is depressed, and BACKFIRES. Burned all the way
through my air filter its going so bad.

After about 20 minutes of driving, the car stops hesitating and backfiring,
but will still stumble BIG TIME if you punch the pedal at a stop.

The TPS sensor has been changed three times, as well as the M/C solenoid,
accellerator pump, throttle body, air horn... SAME PROBLEM.

I was stupid enough to have firestone work on it, They threw parts on it for
a couple weeks, and made it worse. Have a shop that specializes in engine/
fuel system work, and they are SLOWLY getting it working, but still can't
figure out the backfiring.

Anybody have any suggestions? This carb was holley remanufactured less than
a year ago, ran great until the needle and seat stuck.

I would LOVE any help, thank you.

Backfiring is usually timing or sticking valves. Although a lean condition
will do it too. That would be consistent with running better with choke on.

Lean indication again.


>Anybody have any suggestions? This carb was holley remanufactured less than

Definitely start with the ECM - check the trouble codes. If there's a code
"44", you have a lean condition. You can verify that by trying to set the
idle mixture (see Tom Lentz' web page at
http://members.home.com/tlentz/more_power.html for info on checking engine
codes and setting carb). If the idle screws have to come way out, that's
further evidence of a lean condition.

Possible causes are a vacuum leak or the float set too low. Especially if
the float was readjusted after the needle / seat repair. There are different
floats too - maybe the setting you're using is wrong for the particular
float you have. Might experiment with a slightly higher setting just for
ha-ha's.

Check the fuel pump output pressure too. Could be coincident with the needle
/ seat failure.

  I have owned Windshield Magic Auto Glass for 10 years now. I have seen many 
products for removing scratches. Cerium Oxide and the felt pad are what I 
use. But remember to keep the area cool with lots of water and wash ALL of 
the residue from the care when you are done. Also remember when you buff this 
glass down it will be thinner in that area causing a light distortion as 
prescription glasses do. It works best with water. lots of water. If you have 
scratches to deep contact me and I can get you new glass at good prices

beating on the aluminum case with a box end wrench, and he did this for
about 15 minutes. First you don't bang on alum. with a steel wrench plus
the assembly weighed about 150#s and I don't think a small box end wrench
is going to move it over. What an idiot! Beautiful Aurora engine and many
expensive highly machined parts and this fool is doing whatever? I would
even had been worried about a brass hammer on that thin aluminum casting.

I bought my 17-year-old son an 84 Olds Cutlass V6 only to discover too

used a mirror to find the leak, but no luck so far.  I thought about
using rubber hose or copper tubing to replace the bad section.  However,
I am concerned about the fuel line integrity in the event of a side
impact crash.  It appears that the fuel line was installed before the
body was put on the frame, although I am sure that is not the case.  Can
I order a new fuel line through Olds?  Is it one piece from the fuel

I bought my 17-year-old son an 84 Olds Cutlass V6 only to discover too
late that it has a leaking fuel line near the left rear wheel.  I have
used a mirror to find the leak, but no luck so far.  I thought about
using rubber hose or copper tubing to replace the bad section.  However,
I am concerned about the fuel line integrity in the event of a side
impact crash.  It appears that the fuel line was installed before the
body was put on the frame, although I am sure that is not the case.  Can
I order a new fuel line through Olds?  Is it one piece from the fuel
tank area to the engine compartment?

Subject: 1955 Front Suspension

I purchased a front lower control arm outer pivot kit for my car.  The
listing showed application for '39-56.  The kit is too large in
diameter.  It is approximately .125" too big.  I contacted the part
supplier and they are not aware of anything unique to the '55.  The hex
on the bushing as well as the hex on the threaded shaft are larger than
my original part.  Therfore, I don't believe it is a matter of the
replacement part simply being out of tolerance.

I have not had the car long enough to locate an OEM part book so I don't
know what the facatory applications show.

Any idea or help???

Pete,
I don't know what part of the country your in, but in LA high blue book on
that car is about $5100 with a low blue of $2880, if your in a hurry to sell
it I suggest you lower your price.
Good luck,

Pete,

I know you want a good amount of money for that thing.  Hate to tell you 
though, it isn't worth $8500.  I have a 83 H/O that is all original with 50k 
mile on it and it isn't worth much more than that.  The point is:  It may be 
a nice car and all, but it isn't special enough to ask more then $5500.  
Lower the price and I am sure it will sell soon.

Steve

Subject: More Decoding

Hey folks!

Just wanted to thanks those that gave me a warm welcome, and I really 
appreciate it!

Now, for those of you that actually like to decode stuff, here's a bit of 
info on my car.


VIN: 3 423907118678
Found this on the block behind the water pump: 395558 couple spaces and a 
big 2.

Intake has the firing order near the front on one of the runners (couldn't 
find the p/n)

Carb: 7045222 was in a small circle on the back of the carb, not sure if 
it's the right one. Also, this carb has a different base from the original, 
as the original was cracked.

Couldn't locate any other numbers on the block, as I don't know where to 
look (I'll check my books) and it was getting dark.

Thanks in advance for those of ya that want to mess with the decoding, and 
if nobody does it I guess I'll just have to learn how! <grins>

Subject: Carb Fuel Drip

While doing some electrical work in the engine compartment I heard a noise.
It was hard to hear but it was coming from the carb. It sounds as though
the carb is letting a small drop of fuel into the intake every 7-9 seconds.
IT sounds as though it drips and evaporates quickly. The car was not driven
since last night, about 24 hours ago. It is a Holley 830cfm carb. Is this
OK? What could be the problem?

It stopped dripping. I believe it was because of me leaning on the fender
which moved the loat bowl level and made it drip into my intake.

Dave Heilala are goes.  I would like to hear from everyone else.  Also I am
