   I'm really glad to hear you found someone competent to help you out.
Just in case he didn't mention it When fuel pumps go bad and are 
replaced an oil change is often indicated fuel can leak into the 
crankcase and dilute the oil.

Listmembers,

I have a 1970 SX, and it came from the factory with a 2.56 "peg-leg" rear 
end.  Later I bought a 1970 'S' with a 2.56 posi and swapped it in.

Also, I've been told mine is an early build SX, as it was equipped with a 
2-barrel carb.

Listmembers,

My 70 SX was purchased by my father at Brenner Olds (where my mother worked) 
and I paid him back for it with my wages from working at the KU Medical Center 
here.  It joined the Snyder household in September of 1978 and was my second 
car.

It's survived my high school years, six-and-a-half years in the Marine Corps, 
marriage, birth of a son, divorce, and another marriage before it got to take 
a well-deserved rest.  Once we get things settled down in the house it 
originally came "home" to (bought the house I grew up in and am renovating it now) 
an extensive rebuilding/mild modification project will return it to past glory 
- -- and then some!

I also have every license plate it has ever worn, including a set of 
California personalized plates from the USMC days.

Many other cars and trucks have come and gone, but the SX remains -- sleeping 
under a car cover until the time is right.......

Take Care,

OK; the guy I was trying to get hold of is Robert Adams, who says he's
"Right next to Eagle Mountain lake due west of Saginaw." I've no idea where
that is but thought he was somewhere in the Dallas/Ft. Worth area.

Oh yes, they're very easy to rebuild; I've done half a dozen of them.

They're fairly common; the 1988-1990 full-sized wagons with 307s all used
the same carb and there's no serial number or other such ID on them other
than the basic carb number, which is 17088115. But I just remembered: yours
is a 1984 and the original carb on that would be either a 17084254 or
17084258. There are minor differences between the ones used on the early,
mid and late '80s 307s but they're really basically all the same; and by
swapping a few parts, one can be used as well as another.

>($300 later for CORRECT calibration of that carb + a fuel pump),

I guess that's not too bad.

Oh yeah, they'll last quite awhile, especially when not subjected to the
salt of northern roads. And even so, mine is still doing fine here in
Connecticut although I really need to pay more attention to her and wash
out the frame rails every spring with a hose. Maybe I'll get around to that
this weekend, in fact.

I bought my 70 Olds W31 4 speed in October 1970 and owned it ever since, I
believe 33 years and 5 months. It has been licensed continuously. It has
been special to me, so special that my wife resented it. It will stay with
me until I pass it down to my oldest son, who, with his brother, grew up
with the car.  Both are in their 20's.  About 6 years ago I picked up
another Olds so my younger son and I could restore it. A 71 442 looking good
now, but still needs a lot of work.

I've marked the Lansing Homecoming date down and will likely make it. I also
still plan on organizing the cruise to the Gilmore museum that I talked
about in early winter. Time to get on the ball.  In a couple of weeks I'll
be meeting several Illinois Olds owners and club members and see if any down
here are interested in the Michigan trips.

Subject: Re: Olds Diesels?

Now they're rare since most have been trashed since the 80s. They have
horrible reputations, but , if you can put up with the complete and total
lack of power, they make good, reliable engines. They had much trouble
blowing headgaskets because the GM head bolts stretched easily, but by 85
(the last year of the 78-85 run) they had mostly corrected this problem.  I
nearly bought a super well maintained one in the body of an 83 Caprice, but
the rest of the car was so gone to hell that it wasn't even worth $400.

Whats a petrol ICE?

I'm helping a friend put his 1973 Cutlass S 455 4spd car back together after 
he grenaded the original engine. :-( There are a few minor parts I'm looking 
for, hopefully someone has them. Hit me off list if you do.

  Both Left and Right Stone Shields (these are the plastic pieces under the 
headlights)
  Shifter Boot for the Console

Yep! It's a real 455 4spd optioned Cutlass S. Kind of neat. If I recall Hot 
Rod Harry had a Vaseline version of this car, except this one is 
triple-black.

Thanks for your help!

Subject: Re: Is this a 455?

If the engine has C heads and red paint I would say it is a 68-69.( Can't
tell from the picture)
If the engine has G heads and the intake is painted blue the block numbers
would indicate it is a 71. Ga heads would make it a 72.
I picked up a 81 Chevy truck with a 70 455 last year. The truck and tranny
were shot but the motor ran fine.
I paid $250 for the truck. A 68-69 motor is more desireable if you are
looking for a performance motor because of the C heads and possible forged
crank.
Pick it up if you can. Sell the truck,(a lot of guys are fixing up older
trucks),to recoup some of your costs.
How do the engine mounts look?The guy I bought my truck from shaved the
rubber on the mounts to make the engine fit the truck!

The epoxy used on the intake side is Devcon Industrial Plastic Steel Putty
or something like it. I don't know how long it would last on the exhaust
side. I seriously doubt there's anything that would last for a long time
period on the exhaust. Short time, yes, but long time, doubtful. Even
ceramic and carbon-carbon rocket nozzle inserts erode during one firing
sequence.

I'll have to check my notes. So, I've had him at least 10 years 
(longest I've had any car, but then, I've only owned cars for 17 years 
or so), but I plan on never getting rid of him. And yes, it's 
apparently a 'him' - the previous owner (and friend of the family)

Subject: '70-'72 console lid needed

Anyone have a 70-72 console compartment lid for sale?
I aquired a '71 console some years ago (Pick-N-Pull, $30 IIRC) but it 
didn't have the lid for the glove compartment. Color doesn't really 
matter, since I'm going to paint/dye it black to match the interior of 
my '70.

Dad bought my 66 98 in 1965. I bought it from him in 1982, been driving it
ever since. Now at 340,000 miles & going strong. I think I've put on about
223,000 of those miles. 

I had so much fun with it that I bought a 66 Starfire and fixed it up in
1998. Been driving that ever since too. 

Hardtop for winter, convertible for summer. It's good to have Oldsmobiles 

Even if 1 of 'em has a busted a-arm just now.

Cheers,
cf
