Subject: 1972 Oldsmobile Contessa

I was scrolling through the pics at the GM Photo Store when I happen upon a
1972 Oldsmobile Contessa, show car.  That is all the information they had
about the vehicle.

Does anybody have any info on this car?  It looks like a 71 Cutlass, with a
pink metallic paint job and a white vinyl roof, with a "real groovy chick"
standing in the open door.

Just wondering,

Greetings:

I am new to the group, and happen to be in the parts business as well.  Just
finished rebuilding my 70 olds 455 motor and have been thru it all as far as
restoring this car.  It's a real beauty.  Anyway as far as the water pump
goes I sell the Airtex brand which up to now has been a good cast iron
quality.  Many of the aftermarket companies are switching to the aluminum
chinese made units.  As far as the casting number goes the airtex unit
number AW-926 would go for $85.00 plus shipping.  For reference the napa
number is 55-926 which leads me to believer it is an airtex unit as well.
A-1 Cardone number 58-326 which is a reman.
Also I can have your unit rebuilt by cardone, but that is expensive, and
takes a week or two.
Anyway if I can be of help send me an e-mail.

Subject: CHEAP trunk floorpans?

Does anyone know of any very cheap trunk floorpans? My trunk has rusted out towards the front, right around the wheelwells and the body mount. The mount I can fix myself, but I'm tired of fabricating (have done one lower quarter panel already). I don't want to spend the $$ for the repro's form year one or the like, and this is no resto. I just need something that will work decently. It will only cover about the front 1/4 behind the wheelwell. Does anyone have any sources? Thanks a lot!

Well - never mind!
I actually found a '77 Seville in the Yarde this weekend! Got the (cast 
iron - I might be interested if someone has the aluminum one handy) 
intake and fuel rail, FPR was missing, and someone had already robbed 
the throttle body and the fuel pump from the tank, which I also 
couldn't use, because the bloody yardes like to poke holes in them to 
empty them... Gonna be tough to find an EFI fuel tank with 'em doing 
that. The throttle body I'll probably just use a TBI throttle body with 
the injectors removed, or a Mustang TB or something.
Grabbed the distributor, too, just in case the cam sensor built into it 
might be useful.
That Seville also had a mostly complete (missing one hard line) rear 
disc brake setup, too, so I snagged that.
And I found a '93 Caprice with heavy duty brakes, so I added it's 
spindles to my pile, for the 'big brake' conversion.
Altogether, a pretty good haul for $80. My wife even went along to 
help! Now you know why I married her :)

Hi, Chris-- happy New Year!  
 
Are you sure that's 400269 and not 400296  (which is part no. 230337,
for '68-'69 400s and '68-'70 455s, both with a.c.) ?
 
Within about a week I hope to be employed by my local Pick'n'Pull, and just checked my "Oldsmobile Numbers Swap Meet Guide"-- all I see in there that's close to the pump you mentioned is 400296.  (Of course, their's could be a typo, too...)
 
Anyhoo, I'll keep my eyes open for either number (one of 'em has to be right, right?).
 
Meanwhile, good luck in your search!
                                                                      ttyl...          Phantom455

Subject: Rear roof quarter seals for '70 - '72 supremes - anyone have some good used ones?

I have been at a complete loss to find these new in reproduction. 3 of my 4
pieces are still in good shape and useable, but my passenger side outer seal
is split.

For those who may not be familar, on the '70 - '72 Supreme hardtops only,
the rear most part of the quarter windows are sealed with a seperate piece
of weatherstripping that is NOT part of the roof rail weatherstrip. One side
bolts to the roof line and the other side clips into a bracket/molding on
the inside of the car.

Anyone out there in Oldsland have a good useable passenger side set?

Thanks!

Subject: Re: Seville intake (was Custom timing curves vs. MAP)

The cast iron intakes are reputed to flow a little better due to having
larger diameter holes for the throttle body. What car are you putting this
into? Doubtful the Seville tank would've fit much but an X body. As long as
you don't take a hard corner with less than 1/4 tank of gas (w/o EFI
baffles), a stock tank should suffice.
