IGOR;
Were you allowing the Tranny to auto shift or where you wringing out all you
could from second? Curious as Quincy's setup will be close (Except with
headers) but with a 3.08. The G-body should be lighter too. Maybe I'll have
hopes of low 14's off the bat than. Gary....

	I just mounted a cd player in my glove box yesterday.  My car has a

the floor, on the bottom side of the dash.  I found a few holes on each side 
to mount them to.  Each speaker is only held by one bolt, but they seem 
pretty secure and they dont rattle.  None of this can be seen by looking in 
the car or sitting in the car.  Hope this helps.  Good luck.

	As per my experience with my 403's overheating (bad radiator) the 
Olds fan clutch (at least for a '77 403 or an '86 307) is designed to come on 
at 200(or so) degrees. It works EXCELLENT when the temperature gets that 
high. Anything less than that, the fan blade can be stopped by hand. (but if 
it comes on while your attempting that ..I didn't say to try it) Mine went to 
red line and beyond, so that was an extreme. That fan makes a good 15 degree 
temp difference once it comes on, at idle. (from 200 to 185 no problem..you 
can watch the temp gauge move) There is absolutely nothing wrong with this 
design, if it's working properly, IMO. Just my experience, Dorian

Subject: Rear Control Arm questions / Black Oxide

I am near the reinstallation of my rear end and I have some questions
concerning the rear control arm bolts and nuts.  I know the rear bolts
are black oxide finished.  Are the nuts?  It appears as if they are
not.  Also, I used the Eastwood Black Oxide kit for the bolts and it
came out with much too blue in it for my liking.  The original finish is
more of a dull-powdery black.  Has anybody ever used the Eastwood System
before?

TIA,

Dan

Subject: Info on the Olds, and info needed (long post)

Hello listers :)

Well, having read the list for a couple weeks now, I've gotten the 'fixer 
upper' bug. My darlin is in sad shape so it's time for me to get busy.

My darlin is a 1970 Cutlass S 4door Hardtop, sans B-pillar and door frames.  
She has a 350/4bbl with a TH350 and 10 bolt rear. The 10 bolt is the 
strongest available next to a 12 bolt, according to Car Craft (it has the 
strenghtening bosses accross the center section).

It has a cloth and vinyl interior that's in bad condition. The Original roof 
liner is fine, except for mildew spots.

The windshield leaks heavily inside the car when it rains, so I know I'm in 
for a job there. The vinyl top is in ok condition, with some rust showing at 
the rear window and along the lower portion of the back window.

Dashpad is in good shape, but the dash itself needs the chrome replaced. 
Need to completely re-work the hvac controls, as they don't slide back and 
forth properly (heater is stuck on). The carpet is in decent condition, 
needs a good cleaning. Front power bench seat needs replaced, rear seat 
needs new cushions and a new cover. Power windows need the motors rebuilt. 
They work, but I have to jimmy em up the final couple inches or so. Power 
door locks need rebuilt. The door covers are in great shape.

Only one major bash, in the rear drivers side quarter, but it does not 
affect the character line. There's a dent in the trunk lid, and the rear 
bumper needs to be replaced. Terminal stupidty with a bumper jack, I'd 
imagine as well as a dent from a wreck. Font bumper is ok, needs rechromed. 
All the rest of the chrome is in decent condition. There is a small dent 
just behind the front bumber on the left fender.

Looks like the car was wrecked pretty good some time ago. Both passenger 
doors are green underneath the blue paint, and that area is much darker than 
the rest of the car. The paint is seriously faded.

The motor is knocking something fierce after sitting for a while. Once the 
oil pressure builds a bit, it gets much quieter. Means a total rebuild. 
<sighs> Ah well. The tranny pukes it's guts when the car sits for longer 
than a month, so I gotta rebuild that too. The rear just motors along 
without complaint.

Front and rear suspension needs to be rebuilt as the springs are sagging 
pretty badly, and each side of the front rides at a different height.  Rear 
sits ok, but this entire car is all OE equipment except for the shocks 
(which I had done last year), brakes (need redone yet again), and tires.

Just went through one of the rear wheel cylinders, and the piston inside was 
stuck. Worked on it for a couple hours till we could get it to slide 
properly. Haven't checked the other side (I'm afraid too). Need to replace 
the front disks. Calipers need rebuilt.

I have a 4 car garage in back of the house, so I'm thinking of just pullin 
the body off the car, and totally redoing it from the ground up. Since the 
thing uses real SAE nuts and bolts, even I should be able to do most of the 
work. I'll have to send out the engine and transmission. I'll do all the 
prep work for the body, except the dent repair (I think I can con a body man 
buddy of mine into doin it for a couple cases). I want to replace the 
interior with a bucket setup, so the front seat issue is moot.

Anyway, this is the basic synopsis of the Olds. Lotta stuff to do, but what 
do you expect from a car that is slightly older than you are? (It was born 
early to mid 70, i was born late 70.)

Here's what I need (and this is just for starters):

1970 Cutlass Service Manual
1970 Fisher Body Manual

Web addresses needed:

Mondello
Other Olds specific parts people. Looking for prices as well.

I am supposed to have around 9.4 CR but I am using regular gas with this
small cam and it runs fine.

What cam did you go with and what did you replace it with.  Thanks.

Yes and no.  When I did let it autoshif (@3800 RPM) it ran 14s as well.
Manual shift, 4500 first to second and 4000 second to third it did the same.

I am sure you will see low 14s.  Keep in mind that this altatude here is

My 1/8th mile run was 9.487 at 75.34 MPH.  That is not bad and I am sure
that with 3.73s you could do it easy.  My reaction time for that one was
.818 and my 60 foot time was 2.410.  Most other runs were 9.49s or 9.59s or
so, in that range.

I don't know, but here at this track most Mustangs with at least a good
exhaust system run high 14s to low 15s.  This Camaro looked a LOT faster
then it was.   The guy was saying how it dynoed at around 390 horse.  Okay,
but high 14s...???  The Mustang as well did not do that great.  There was a
couple of them that did 13s and 12s, but they had a lot more then just a
stock setup.  Slicks REALLY help those guys as they asbsolutey leave me off
the line.

With street tires, 14 x 7 rims and stock suspension 12.00's are NOT
possible. Especially with a 455. You need to hook off the line and you can
still get tire spin with slicks if you have enough torque. I have NEVER
seen a car run on street tires at the track and run 12's without spray or a
turbo. Dump the dinky tires and get better tires and then maybe you can go
in the 12.00's IF you make enough power.

Hey everyone,
Just trying to get as much info as anyone has about my 55 I just purchased.  
It's a four-door, but in great shape.  Fairly new two tone green paint.  
Upper mint green, lower Forest Green.  It's got electric front bench seat, 
Autronic eye, Deluxe radio, (radio doesn't work, but light comes on), Dark 
green interior, which needs some work.  It has teh original 324 cid engine, 
with the heavy duty type oil bath aircleaner.  The air cleaner has the two 
scoops on it.  I just took it to the car wash today and waxed, it and man 
the reaction I get from people that see it.  I still don't know a whole lot 
about these cars, but I'm inlove with it.
Any information that anyone might know or have, I would be greatful for.

Subject: Re: <13.00's

Good afternoon everyone,

        12's ARE possible on 15x7 inch wheel with a 275/60-15 DOT legal "drag
tire". My 67 W-30 went 12.58@107 with a NHRA stock 400. Now the engine had
about $3500 worth of work done to it. This engine, if tore down would have
passed a NHRA technical inspection for being stock. Engine was nowhere near
stock. Cam was a Cam Dynamics .474 lift (rest of specs engine builder would not
reveal, NASTY IDLE!). The engine was .060 over, balanced, blueprinted (on the
loose side) mains were just over .003 clearance, rods were .0025 clearance,
pistons were forged Ross flatops with .005 wall clearance, deck clearance was
.002. All rods were bushed to achieve that exact clearance. Heads were CC'd to
71.3 cc each chamber, 3 angle valve job (accepted) all valve stem heights were
within .002 of each other. We used factory replacement W-30 valve springs and
steel retainers. There was NO port work done to them.  The distributor was
recurved for a total of 37 degrees all in at IDLE. There were NO springs on the
centrifical distributor advance. We had no problem with starting. This gave the
car unbelievable throttle response. Let me know if you want to know  more about
it. This engine was done by Danny Lattimore who also holds the D stock record
