Anyone know where I can find a shifter cable for a 69 cutlass S with a console shift TH350. I prefer new but will settle
for used if it's all I can get.

List,
I'm restoring a 70 Cutlass SX and I need the metal fuel line that runs from
the fuel pump to the carb. Anybody have the metal fuel line from the fuel
pump to the carb for a 1970, 455, 2 barrel (right, 2 bbl) Rochester carb
they want to sell? Inline and Classic only have the lines for a 4 bbl. Need
one in reasonably good shape, no kinks, cracks, etc. Offlist response is
fine, relax99@qwest.net

Thanks,

Subject: Olds Centennial Video on DVD

Hi All, 

Some of our longtime list members may remember the "Unofficial" video
that I digitally mastered and produced back in late '97 to commemorate
the Centennial celebration in Lansing.  Some of the list membership
supplied raw video for the project, and it was well-received.  List
administrator Greg Beaulieu and his friend Brian Smith traveled to
Lansing for the Centennial and supplied me with tons of great shots,
especially during the parade.  (The one day it didn't rain, right Greg?)
Everett Horton also contributed video, and Daren Hendley sent me some
good video, too.  There were others, but these guys I know are still
around.

I've received some inquiries in the past about the availability of this
project on DVD.  Well, the corporate types that bought out the TV
station where I work late last year recently bought some DVD recorders
for us to archive our in-house commercials on.  So it's finally
available on DVD, dubbed from the digital master.  :-)  Many folks have
commented on how much they enjoyed the soundtrack, and it's
crystal-clear on these discs.  For anyone interested, the ordering info
is posted at http://store.oldsgmail.com/store4.htm and also
http://newmand.oldsgmail.com/video.htm.

My apologies to anyone who considers this type of post as SPAM.  Like I
mentioned, this was a list-inspired project, and I wanted to get the
word out to all that might want to replace their VHS tape with a DVD.
And many thanks to all of you who made this project such a success back
in early '98 when I first completed it.

Take care,

Subject: Tilt steering column for 68 Cutlass S Convertible

Hi gang,

I posted the question on the weekend but didn't hear a response. So I am
going to reword it because I think I figured out the bucket seat question
(they will fit just different upholstery and seat back panel).

The question is: Will a tilt steering column from a 1968 Buick Riviera
work/fit for my 68 Cutlass S convertible? For general knowledge what will
fit 68 and older and the 69 and newer A bodies? Will the columns from "big
cars" work? With a little modification?

Thanks in advanced,
Dave

Subject: 66-442 fuel tank sending unit reproduction poor quality

#$^#$^% "Restoration" crap parts

Of course I just sold my one really good unit from an original car a month 
or 2 ago. I *presumed* that a new reproduction unit would be better. Or, at 
least, serviceable. It was from one of the "usual" easy to find vendors, not 
sure exactly which one right now. Will look into that.

Getting ready to install the new fuel tank. Put the new reproduction sending 
unit in it. Locking ring wants to slip out on one side, either the ring is 
too small or hole is too large, or both. Got that squared away OK.

WTH? The outlet and return pipes look alike? Slightly different flare? Get 
the Accurate Measuring Device out... sure enough, what is SUPPOSED TO BE one 
5/16 and one 3/8" line... measures 0.297 and 0.315 OD. Twenty thou 
difference? Maybe they were shooting for 1/4 and 5/16 lines. Anyhow, not 
likely that the "3/8" line, rather complex inside, is going to be re-done 
_right now_, so run with it as-is I guess, and watch for fuel starvation 
symptoms.

The plastic straps that go on the inner fender, to secure the wiring and 
washer fluid hose? Half inch too short, wrong appearance, no way they can 
work. Good Lord. I went out to the farm, harvested 6 or 8 similar units off 
'65, '66 parts cars. Put them in a baggie. Lost it. Wind took it out of the 
back of the truck maybe? As luck would have it, I was able to find 3 1967 
issue unbroken straps right in my garage. cleaned them up, and they look 
PERFECT, fit prefectly, and are JUST RIGHT.

I tell ya, I'll take a good used real GM part over shiny new reproduction 
crap that does not fit and work right... any day.

Subject: Basement Buried Treasures (and I could use some T-3 info)

Some time back, someone posted a link to a really useful website with 
details on how to identify specific years of T-3 headlamps. Over the weekend 
I inherited one (a big round single dual-beam unit) which leads me to think 
that it might be an older model, judging from the context it was found in: a 
grimy old basement with all sorts of other weird and wonderful stuff in it.

It's got some date codes and stuff that might be deciphered if I can find 
details on-line somewhere. The large triangular T-3 logo is in the center of 
the lens, and has a pebble-grain background. Both filaments are good, 
although the bulb is used.

This isn't strictly Olds-specific but I have to tell you all anyway: I was 
helping to clear out a distant relative's old house last weekend so the 
family can sell the estate, and was asked to help identify any valuables 
that might turn up. We didn't find buried treasure AFAICT, but in with 
decades of old stuff, I dug out of this same basement:

- -- a set of 1967 Mustang and 1966 Pontiac wheel covers (good condition)
- -- an unopened tube of circa-1939 DuPont Window & Roof Sealer (great artwork 
on the box showing what used to be a modern car, with spare tire on the 
back)
- -- a little 1920s box of spare G.E. Mazda headlamp bulbs (an identical box 
in somewhat better condition can be found on the eVil site as Item 
#2249723965)
- -- a couple cans of Simoniz, one wax and one polish, from around that same 
era
- -- a can of Lockheed brake fluid, circa 1930s, with an ingenious little 
wire-bail clip-on cap (you know, like you find on St. Pauli Girl beer) still 
in working order and still half-full of fluid (yeah, I'm going to use _that_ 
stuff now :-)
- -- three fuses with a production date of March, 1962
- -- a one-pound _and_ a five-pound can of Sherwin-Williams "Flaxoap," again 
with marvelous artwork, showing the modern 1930s housewife happily scrubbing 
floors on her hands and knees with this stuff

...and, new-in-the-box, what appears to be a 1942 Mercury front right 
parking lamp assembly, Mercury part #29A-13200-A

What made this all so much fun was that it wasn't a swap meet or flea 
market; it was a process of finding these things in their original habitat, 
where some of them hadn't been disturbed for decades. It was like looking 
for buried treasure; you never know what you're going to find in the next 
box.

Subject: Shifting on Turbo 200 questions

OK, I have my 1971 Cutlass, 455, new Turbo 200R4 working pretty good.  
I'm just trying to get the shifting right (its a brand new rebuild with 
more line pressure and a shift kit).  With the Cable Fully extended, it 
takes off OK without having to feed it a lot of gas, but the shifts are 
a little late (3rd is 45MPH, 4th is high, over 70MPH).

I'd like to see 4th at around 60 - 65 when not accelerating hard.  
However, when I loosen off the Cable, it starts to be really soft 
getting going, like there's a lot of slippage.  This scares me and I 
don't want to do that, and it still doesn't seem to shift right (mind 
you I was too nervous to really see, I limped it into 3rd and locked the 
torque).

As the cable is lengthened, does it shift earlier or later ?  I could 
try a couple clicks from fully extended, but half way through the 
adjustment is way too soft (feels like serious slippage).  I checked and 
right now WOT on the carb is Fully extended on the Transmission.  I'm OK 
with this shift pattern, but I'd like to understand what the adjustments 
do before I say I'm done.  Currently I'm still waiting to be sure the 
Tranny is not slipping before I walk on it.  However the Mileage seems 
pretty good, before the old turbo200 died I got well over 23MPIG, and I 
hope to meet or exceed 25MPIG.


Thanx

I tried this on my 403; on the passenger-side, the manifold hit the 
oil-filter adapter, and on the driver's-side I believe it interfered with 
the starter.

I suppose it would be possible with a remote oil-filter setup that 
eliminated the stock filter adapter and perhaps a smaller starter, but 
you'd have to mock it up ahead of time.

No. The left manifold will fit perfectly. The right manifold hits the block
on the upper side of the crankcase. Remember the difference in deck height
between a small block and a big block. The small block pulls the manifold
closer to the block. I know. I tried it, with no luck.

You are really living dangerously, a 455 driving a THM200.

If you get the cable set for hard enough shifts, you could then 
adjust speed with the governor weight/spring.
