I keep watching the credits for a "No cars were harmed in the making of
this movie" line but they don't seem to care about these things.  I
propose that we start a People for the Ethical Treatment Of Oldsmobiles
and Youngmobiles (PETOOY).  Then we will have a united voice to make our
concern over the senseless slaughter of innocent cars known.  And as an
added bonus, if you see a 442 or H/O neglected or powered by a Chebby
engine than you can "liberate" it late at night without feeling guilty.

Whaddya say, anyone want to you the PETOOY bandwagon while it's still
just us regular Joe's and we don't have celebrity hangers on?  I'm sure
in a few years we can have Pam Anderson in a bathing suit filming
commercials about the senseless crushing of cars.

Just an idea,

Hello Ed

   I have a 70' 98 4 door parts car in my driveway that must
go
soon (wife). The park lights I have, think the lighter is
gone.
Anything else needed? She  got about a two week life
expectancy.
  As for the clock set the time hook it up to a 12v battery
and check
in a couple of days.
   By the way I live on Long Island and am frequently in the
city for
work. If needed the lights can be dropped to you.

Thanks for the answer Randy.  Just 2 out of 6 of my questions got
responses, I must not be groveling enough :))

BTW: I wanted to work on the Olds this weekend but my Chebby truck is in
the dealers with electronic failures.  So far the bill is at $450 and
climbing.  I hate wimpy electronics in cars they should have to use "Mil
spec" components, seal them properly, and isolate them.  Oh well, I can
paint the engine and finish assembling it and then maybe next weekend I
can bring the car home.

Have a good weekend,

I do not find a 400cid motor listed for 72.  All I have found is the 350 =
and 455 also.  I do not know what numbers to tell ya to look for,  but I =
am looking.  The car is a 72.  The 442 for this year is an option on the =
Cutlass.  Prior to 1972 the 442 was its own model line.  The 442 option =
came with either a 350 (standard)  or a 455 (optional).  The 455 came =
with exhaust cut outs in the rear bumper.  If the letter 'x'and'm' are =
in the vin number it is a w-30.  The w30 should have an aluminum intake, =
 black fender wells,  455 cid motor,  and GA cast on the front left =
cylinder head.  It will also have the usual hood stripes and die cast =
numbers that are standard with the 442.

Subject: Re: 1972 442

I am looking at what appears to be a 1972 442.  The owner says, I haven't 
looked
yet, that it is all original and has a 400 engine.  From what I can tell the 
400
was not an option for 1972, just the 350 and 455.

Can someone confirm that and give me some hints for other things I should be
looking for on this car.
________

You are correct, only the 350 and 455 were available in 1972.  Note that in the
72 model year, the 442 was demoted from a separate model to an option package
available on various Cutlass models.  As a result, this was the first year 
since
1964 that a small block motor was available in the 442.  Note that 350-engined
models did _not_ get the cutout back bumper, even if they had dual exhaust
(single was standard!).  455-engined cars did get the cutout bumper.  1972 was
also the first year that the engine type was indicated in the VIN, so while you
can't determine if it's a real 442 from the VIN anymore, you _can_ determine
what the original engine was.  I believe it's the fifth (?) character in the
VIN.  The letter U signifies the L75 455, while the letter X signifies the W-30
(you can probably guess that I don't remember the letters for the 350
motors...).  Also, the factory used a Cutlass emblem on the glove box door in
1972, even on real 442s, so don't be surprised by that.  Some people may have
replaced it with a 442 emblem, as I did on my long-gone 72.

If you specify a custom wire set for your car, they should already come the 
correct
length.  Greg Rollin with SuperCars Unlimited is on the list.  SuperCars sells 
perfect
OEM wire sets.  You can even get a date coded set, if you wish.

Nope.  The HEI is substantially larger than the points style cap.  The old cap

fit the distributor.

Aftermarket external coil kits for HEI distributors exist, but they don't look 
anywhere
close to stock, either for a points or HEI application.

The MSD-6A will also work for an coil-in-the-cap HEI.

Depends on how it's set up.  Actually, it may be richer at WOT because the 
secondary rods
are often set to be a bit richer than the primaries.

I'd do that, anyway.

Unless it's a really high speed racer, I'd think 750 cfm is plenty.  BUT if 
you get a
bunch of Dremel attachments, well...oops...I already brought that up in 
another thread
:-)

I've not seen one, but an Olds parts manual should help.  Year One has parts 
and assembly
manuals.  My assemby manual indicates part numbers for the bolts, etc, but 
doesn't
specify the length, etc. for the given part number.  Perhaps the parts book 
would.
Anyone?

I've never seen the 65 on how they hold their hinges
on. I know that on my 81 Chevy Citation, you would of
had to remove the fender to even adjust the door. The
hinge wasn't bolted to the door, it was welded!

I almost hate to post this because it's so vague, but maybe someone else in 
the Chicago area can update me...

The guys who used to run International Speedometer on Fullerton or Irving 
Park in Chicago relocated out to someplace like Countryside in the western 
'burbs and, I thought, renamed themselves as AJR International. They fixed 
not only speedos but also Delco stereos, and did a nice job on my Delco 
stereo/CB unit when it blew its mind some years back.

AnyWho turned this up; might be the same guys:

International Speedometer & Clock
9540 Ogden Avenue
Brookfield, IL  60513
(708) 387-0606

(Rambling digression: When they were in Chicago they had the greatest old 
neon sign out front: a big ol' 1950s-style dashboard speedometer with a red 
neon pointer zooming back and forth along the scale from 0 to 80. Somebody's 
probably got it in their basement now.  :-)

Gary,

I have been using the Pertronix with a Crane HI-6 and Crane LX-91 Coil.  I am 
happy with this setup so far.  I concealed the Crane HI-6 under the dash, and 
mounted the coil where the old voltage regulator was located on the firewall. 
 Of course it is not a stock setup, but it is clean and doesn't stand out, 
especially with stock looking black wires (Taylor).  

My 2cts

Subject: Clutch Dilema

	I picked up the W-31 today and on the way home from storage, the 
clutch went out. I was able to nurse it home. I want to order a center force 
clutch. I take either a 10.4 or an 11 inch clutch, I don't know which one. In 
order to find out I would have to the car on a hoist, a service shop is going 
to put the clutch in for me. The W-31 is a 4 speed with a heavy-duty clutch. 
Would someone out there know which size it takes? I need to know quickly, 
hopefully someone can help me out! The centerforce catalog says 71-73 W-31 11 
inch, but they didn't make it in those years, and in the Olds Manual it says 
all 350's had 10.4. Which one do I need? You can see my dilema! I offered to 
buy both and return the one I need, but none of the shops would do that.
Thanks,
Jim

The only question that comes to my mind (okay, I guess there are _several_  
:-) is how in the world he ever learned that a '73 Gremlin would mate with a 
'46 Willys frame... Given what their offspring looks like, it's a good thing 
not many others tried to breed them as well...

I believe a jump & Carry is a jump start in a plastic

with what appeared to be a plastic case with a couple
of cables coming out of the case(i think) hooked up to
the battery. Don't know anything else about them.

        The W-31 should have the 11" clutch. The flywheel will accept either

Still having problems with the rear interior (dome) lights in my 69 442
convert.  They remain on and I have to disconnect the battery or it will run
down.  I checked the headlight switch.  It was off.  I pulled it and it
looks OK and was not inadvertently grounding.  Pulled the door switches.
They are operating OK.  Right now I have pulled out all of the seats.  The
carpet and insulation are next.  I plan on tracing the wiring for the
interior lights from back to front to see if I can find out where its
grounding.  Looks like the harness runs on the LH side of the drive shaft
tunnel.  I've quite for the day.  If anyone has any advice I'd like to hear
it before I go at it tomorrow.  Wayne Schwartz
