Subject: Olds in movies

Saw what was (I think) a '65 or '66 F85 in "The Silence of the Lambs" (Jodie
Foster, Anthony Hopkins).  It was in the first, oh, 20 or 30 minutes of the
movie.  Jodie Foster's character was having a flashback(?) to her childhood.
Her dad was the town marshall, and his police car was an Olds.  I'm
relatively sure it was an Olds, anyway.  It only gets about 5 seconds on
screen, and it's mostly a side shot.

Subject: 70 cutlass Radio options

I have a few questions regarding the radios in the 70 cutlass/442.First, the
radio I have in my car is an AM/FM front rear speaker unit. It has the sliding
lever in the top center the switches the AM/Fm freq. As the lever is moved the
radio face rotates from AM to FM ect. Is this the correct radio for a 70. I
know it is from a Cutlass from the 70-72 year. At an olds show I noticed most
cars had the same radio, but there was a small STEREO lable in the face of the
radio to the left of its center. Are these radios Correct?  If you know about
these radios please share some information on them .....Thank you.

What you have is an am/fm mono radio. It was available for your car. They also 
offered an am/fm stereo. That's what you've seen at the car shows.

Nope, haven't tried the conversions.  A fellow I knew converted to the
Mallory system some years back.  These use, I think, a light emitting diode
(LED).  The thing failed three times and he trashed it.  Might be better now
but a true magnet/coil setup is more reliable almost by definition.  Right
Mike?

Yes, you can use an external coil with an HEI.  Some cars came from the
factory that way.

The HEI is darn near bullet proof after all those years in production.  Don't
fight the problem. As for originality, as long as you stick with the stock
black pieces and use some black secondary wires, what's unoriginal about
that?  Just as ugly as the stock stuff you have now.  If you are using
anything close to a stock air cleaner, it will hide it pretty well too.

>>Greg Beaulieu        

Actually Greg, I suspect the windows need to be adjusted to mate with the top
frame.  If you don't have a Fisher Body Manual you can remove the door panels
and look at all that adjustable stuff.  Scratch your head a bit and dive in.

When I was finishing our SX convert, I had already taken all the glass out.
 After getting it back into the doors/quarters it took me hours to figure it
out.  I finally realized which adjustments did what, closed the door (top in
place of course) and just ran the window up and down, make adjustment, do it
again.  Once I figured the process, it wasn't that hard ot time consuming.

My complaint is that the passenger side front most upright weather strip is
too short. There is about a 1/2" space between the top frame and the rubber.
 The driver's side is fine.

No matter what you do, I don't think you will ever stop all the noise or
leaks.  My leaks are now minimal but convertibles are noisy no matter what.

Love 'em anyway. ;-)

Subject: Couple of things

Wife and I went for ice cream tonight in our 96 Cutlass Supreme. Actualy it is 
her car, 
she doesn't let me drive it very often. It isn't what I want to tell you 
though. At the 
Ice Cream stand I parked next to a 71 Olds Cutlass CS. I was beautiful. A deep 
metalic 
green with pin striping along fender lines. It was a two door automatic 
console shift. A 
early 60's age lady owns it. She said she bought it 14 yrs ago from a friend 
who brought 
it up from North Carolina. She also said it had 296,000 miles on it and to her 
knowledge 
had never had any major engine or trans work done. She did have it painted 
last year but 
she said she gets it oiled every year and never drives it in the winter unless 
she 
washes it afterward. It had the rally wheels and the GS emblem with the 
wreath. It was 
awesome!!!
Second - I know some of you will scream at me for bringing this up again but 
in my quest 
to  build the 250 - 275 hp 350 for low budget I came across a 70 Cutlass wagon 
with a 
350 2brl duel exhaust. My book says this is a 9-1 compression engine producing 
250 hp. I 
bought it for $50 complete with starter and alternator. It has #6 heads on it. 
They look 
as if they had been off sometime in the past as they are slightly cleaner tham 
the 
block. Question is what are #6 heads. I didn't bother to try and start it. I 
will do a 
compression test before I tear it down though. Depending on what it looks like 
when 
apart I may rebuild it instead of the one I tore down aleady. 
Third - this cutlass wagon has an extreamly good nose on it if anyone is 
interested. The 
car has a valid NH inspection sticker thru Dec 96. Something else this car has 
that I 
haven't seen before is a cluster of gages in the right side circle of the 
instrument 
cluster. It has a Oil Amp and Water temp arranged in a triangle fashion within 
the 
circle. The car also has very little rust on it which is unusual for NH. If 
anyone is 
interested in any parts let me know and I will hook you up with the yard. He 
also has 
some Toros(can't imagine why) and a bunch of 79 - 87 cutlass's.

I have an undisturbed '70 radiator support donated by the parts car that
allowed us to finish our SX.  Yes, the label is wrinkled.  So am I after
exposure to heat, sun, etc. :-)

But the original is _clearly_ (pun intended) based on platic(ized?) material.

As I said, I have not purchased from Jim Osborne.  But _someone_ is making
them out of this stuff because I have recently seen them on two different
cars.  One guy I haven't been able to catch to ask, the other bought his car
already restored (the rat).

Subject: 3 down to 2 shift 

Scot,
Your mechanic is being straight with you, if your kickdown switch is fried,
you need a new one. It is an electronic switch located probably toward
the rear of your engine compartment in the throttle linkage. You can find
it by working from the carb backwards on the driver's side. When you come
to a part of the mechanical linkage which has one wire coming from the 
harness and one or two wires disappearing south into the tranny. Bingo.

Then attempt to replace it. But that's another problem. Somebody on the list
should have it.

Hope this isn't a redundant answer.

Subject: Convertible Roof Rail Sealing 

Greg,
This is a favorite topic o' mine. What a pain. I've tried for years to get the
noise and water out. Best thing I ever did was to shim the top of the roof
rail rubber before screwing it into the top frame. That way it seals better 
with doors that have probably sunk over time from where they should be. Top
frames also bend over time. Especially if you misuse your convertible like
a well upholstered truck when hauling a bed to college. What better place
to tie it down to? Duh.

Front header seal is my latest challenge. I have shimmed the heck out of the 
top side with adhesive backed foam on top of a new front header seal. Not
quite right but better. Suspect my top frame front and may switch one day,
but these are rare here in Ca.

Hope the shim trick helps. Also consult your fisher body manual, it will show
you a few adjustements to the top on the sides of the housing for the
hydraulic cylinders which controls forward/back and up/down movement of the
whole frame. Be sure to mark where you start from or you'll never get back
to the default!

Subject: HEI Questions 

Dave,
Never tried the point replacement deal, but did blow right through a Mallory
unilite in about 3 mos. (must have wired it wrong, no fault of theirs, I 
think.)

If you get an HEI you'll be best off to use the factory coil which sits on 
top. I've seen an after market (MSD?) which claims more voltage that is 
separate,
but I like the reliability and one-piece-ness of the factory HEI setup. Real
convenient and clean looking. I'm running it on my 66 and as others have noted
replacement bits are pretty cheap. Don't forget the wires when you switch over,
different terminals from points ign. (one of those damn, back to the auto parts
store for me when I did it...)

Big olds day out here on the left coast. Hit 6 junkyards hadn't had enough

Like cleaning up chrome/stainless and aluminum trim.

Use 000 or 0000 steel wool and it'll scrape the bugs off like magic without
scratching the trim. Better than chrome cleaner and cheaper too. 000 is 
coarser,
0000 is finer, guess it depends on how much bug guts you have to buff off.

Subject: 66 Emblem Resto 

A while back I bought an NOS rocket emblem which was widely used on front
fenders for the 65-66 big olds's. I learned from this item they'd been painted.
On mine, this had long since worn off, or I forgot they ever were painted.

Tonight took some mandarin red Testor's model paint, thinner and a real thin 
brush and painted the emblems on the car as the Fusick one is. They look a 
*lot* better. Red like they should be. 

Steady hand and a wiping rag help a lot on this type of work, but it's real
rewarding.

Subject: Toro alert 

Hope this doesn't start a flood of bytes from the afflicted, but I came 
across a 66 Toro in the junkyard today. 

Maroon/red. Interior and 6 way seats were trashed, power windows good,
the belts were cleanable. Comfortron was there, radio not. Tilt/tele
was trashed (turn signal shot and arm broken off :(. Good news is it had
a vacuum trunk release and the engine had duals. Don't know if this is
factory or rare so I thought I'd advise you in case it is rare. 

Anyway the engine was pretty complete, CA smogger with B heads, carb still
on, radiator and shroud in place along with all the smog stuff. The body
was rusted out under the back seat, but the drain tubes were in place.

Body was missing all emblems and had hits on the passenger side fener and
rear quarter. Tail lights looked good. So did the grill. Driver's door 
missing it's spring. Damn thing kept hitting me in the leg and closing
on me like "christine" or something.

The car is at a self-service yard in San Jose Ca. on Monterey road off 
Tully. This is about 2 hours from my home, but if someone's in desperate
need of something, let me know. I might be back there soon. 

Hope this helps

Subject: Re: Comp Cmas Rockers

I believe the 25hp increase is misleading.  As far as I can tell, simply 
switching from Olds stock stamped steel rockers to Comp Cams Magnum 
rockers adds little if any horsepower but does smooth up the engine's 
operation.  I think the horsepower increases refer to the typical Chevy 
installation where the 1.6 ratio magnums would provide more lift than the 
1.5 ratio stockers.  The 1.6 ratio is the stock Olds ratio so you don't 
gain any lift from switching to the aftermaket 1.6's, but you do get 
better cylinder-to-cylinder consistency because the bodies are cast 
instead of stamped and flex less.

The R4B aluminum manifolds made by Edlebrock are nice, but what about a 
stock Olds 4-barrel one?  They're all over the place & cheap.  Get an 
Olds one for a big block w/ports & heater control valve position 
like yours & avoid the EGR types.  The Edlebrock's are a couple hundred 
dollars or so & have EGR provisions for new cars.  Used ones are 
available w/out the EGR for a hundred or so.

I hope you enjoy the Academy.  I was an ROTC Army officer in the late

Mine is excellant, and I won't sell it any cheaper. The unit has been sent off 
and gone through, that cost me $65. If you're looking for one for looks, you 
need to buy one that's cheaper.

I bought a 1973 Cutlass w/AM/FM mono.  I don't know how long this was 
done.  My 1968 442 has a mono AM/FM w/a slide lever & search tune 
feature.

What?,
  I've never heard of any difference in tranny fluids.  If some are better 
than other I would REALL like to hear from any member who know anything about 
this!  Seening as how I have my original 400 tubo transmission, I want to 
protect it as much as possible.

                                                   Thanks,
