  i had a 750 cfm  holley double pumper, the 1977 olds with the .080 455 ran like  crap from 1/4 to
full throttle. a friend who was heavily into holley carbs took car for a few hrs, changed throttle
cams,bigger jets ect dam car ran like hell,
  it took me a few years before i got good with them since i ran the carter afb or qaudra jets.
  but for the most part i cant stand a holley. got a friend with a1970 nova because  he was
adjusting fuel bowl level, fuel sprayed on dist and the barbacue had begun.  after being fed up
trying to make a nova harness. i modified the 1977 olds spare harness i had to work in the car, some
sheet metal and paint, and engine parts its alive once more needless to say its got a edelbrock on
it.

I have been the owner of this car for approx 4 months after purchasing it 
from the original owners son. I have all of the original registration (New 
Mexico) papers dating back to 1964. It is a 4dr sedan and has the 10.25:1 
394c.i. 4gc carb and 3 spd auto trans. It will require some work since it 
sat since about 1985. The air cleaner (fram) has a date on it 1984. I have 
tinkered with it some and got it running, but the whole car needs to be gone 
thru if one wants to put it back on the road. It is in really good shape, 
but does need work. I thought it would be a fun car to work on, but my 
situation prevents me from enjoying the project. If anyone is interested, I 
live in central Ca, email me off list and I can answer all your questions 
and provide more accurate detail info and pics if needed. I found this list 
after I got it and I really enjoy this list. Hate to part with it, but 
hopefully someone on the list will enjoy restoring it. Sorry if this comes 
thru in html.

I had the Holley 750 double pumper on my Cutlass. Ran very rich, seems like I 
had to fill up every fifteen feet or so, blew a power valve, used the kit. 
Good fix but still ran rich. Switched to an Edelbrock 795 Q-Jet. Much better

Milton,

I went to Advance Auto and Allied Auto Parts today in search of the illusive
Sealed Power ring set #E-298X.  I was told that this ring set is obscelete
and unavailable.  Further, I was told that the only ring set I can get with
for a 68 400 motor is a 30 over ring set, that's it.  The thought of havng
to overbore a motor, just to get rings that fit is rediculous!  Would you
have another ring set part number that would fit?  I can then check the
availability and hopefully be successful.

Thanks!

Me, no, at least not yet, but if in doubt, just do a Google Groups (not Web) 
search using key phrases from his email and see what you find, particularly 
in the news.admin.net-abuse.sightings area.

Alternatively, do either a Google Web or Google Groups search on his phone 
number and see what that turns up.

Now returning us to Olds discussion...

The probability that the cylinders of a used block are perfectly round,
WITHOUT being bored, is quite slim. Very likely, new rings will not seal
well all the way around and you'll both lose compression on out-of-round
cylinders and experience fairly high oil consumption. It would probably
take quite a few tens of thousands of miles before the new rings seated well.

I'm not getting it, which is a minor miracle in itself, since this account
gets what I assummed was every spam message on the planet. It's virtually
impossible to get a list of members, BTW, since it's password protected on
Chebucto's site - and only I have the password.

Greg,

	That's what I thought, but they've invented new ways to 
go fishing through other ports.  We've been getting slammed 
here with junk for several days, this is probably someone that
got past our guard and fished out some of our accounts.

	Oh and Andrew, thanks for the info and my apologies for
not tossing the OT in the subject.  And if he gave me a number,
I'd have called it as dealing with telecom is a whole lot 
simpler than spam-fighting on a server <Grin>.

I was clowning around on the web and found a song I'd never heard of
before (some of you may have, sorry if I'm late on this). It's performed
by Larry Heagle on his "Irish Hearts" CD. The name of the song is Rocket
Action Oldsmobile.

It's a bluesy-type of song about his '65 98 with a 425, and it's kinda
neat. I like how he says "If you give me 40 acres, I can turn on a
dime". Here's a snippet of the lyrics:

"She burns 92 octane
premium gas.
There ain't nothin' on the road,
that I can't pass.
...I love the way that I feel
in that Rocket Action Oldsmobile."

You can download it for free at his website:

As I said before, your standard bore size is 3.870". For a 3.875" bore, my
2000 Sealed Power catalog shows:

E245K - 8 cylinder &
E245X - 8 cylinder = 283 Chevy V8, 307 Chevy V8, '54-'56 324 Olds V8, 350
Pontiac V8. I would suspect these rings would fit your stock pistons okay.

E450K - 4 cylinder &
E450X - 4 cylinder = 153 Chevy L4.

E234K - 6 cylinder &
E234X - 6 cylinder = 230 Chevy OHV and SOHC L6, 250 Chevy L6, 250 Pontiac
SOHC L6.

I just showed the GM applications. I didn't bother with the other automotive
brands.

The one catch is, I don't know if the front edge to back edge distance of
the ring will match the depth of the ring grooves on your pistons. If it
does, you're in business. The catalog doesn't give that dimension.

If you want me to ask Al at Merles Auto about these rings on Monday and see
what he can find, I will. Just let me know.
