     The following very sad story is from a friend of mine.  His '72 442
     took one on the right side.  Anyone know where to locate a right front
     fender for a '71/'72 442/Cutlass?  Or both fenders for that matter?
     Are the '70s interchangeable with the '71/'72?  Year one is out of
     stock on the RH one.

        Well, the old 442 finally got crashed into.  I had it parked out in
the street in front of my house and a neighbor across the street backed into
it.  I was standing in the front window messing with my fish tank and saw him
plow into my car.  He got out of his truck, looked at it, and then jumped
back into his truck and took off.  I was waiting for him on his front porch
when he got back.  He said he was in a big hurry or he would have told me
about it before he left.(yeah, right)  Anyway, the right front fender is
smashed and I would guess about $500-$800 damage from the insurance company.
That is if he files the claim.  I'm still waiting to hear from him.  I was
going to take the money and replace both front fenders myself because there
is some rust on them.  My question to you is that Year One has them for $239
ea. but would you know of any better or cheaper place to get them?  Let me
know if you do.

Mike,

Try Super Cars Unlimited (503) 244-8249.  Their latest catalog has them
listed on page 72 for $12.95, part ª38-052.  I don't know if they are
correct.

QUES: What is standard height & depth for a standard workbench top?
ANS: I can't answer for the bench but....I worked in a shop where the
pattern makers and machinists insisted that the top of their machinist's
vices be at the same height as their elbow...with their elbow against
their side and their arm at a right angle, as if using a hack saw, they
measured from the floor to their elbow. That's the height they set the
top of their vice. Some tall guys blocked up their vices. These guys
were very specific, exacting, and productive in their work and used
lines like "Guten Morgen" and "Bitte". I think they invented
"ergonomics" for mechanics in the 18th century. There was no arguing the
height with them.
Thought you might install a vice. Hope that helps you somewhat.

You might want to try ACE Auto Salvage their in Tonica Il. it's a little
south of Peru. I was there 2 years ago they had a Cutlass conv. '71or2
if I remember right it's at least '68-'72 vintage. They also had a '75
H/O for sale very rusty. A couple old Toro's to. There's also De Loose
309-534-8107 on highway 67 between Milan and Viola (in Il.). He has a
'71 Cutlass in the yard I'am not sure about the frame but the body isn't
real rusty and a '70 442 in his shop that I think is for sale. He's also
got 3or4 '65-'66 full size cars, 3 '68-72 Vistas, 4-5 '40s? Olds, '65
GTO, and a couple other cars I can't remember. I could possible go out
De Loose in a month or two to take a look at that Cutlass for you. And
I'll see if I can find Ace's phone ª if you want it.

When was the last time the fluid was changed? Does it shift at a higher
rpm? It could be a valve or something sticking sticking. Could be the
tires are they new or in bad shape?

My sister's cat like to lay on the hood of her neigbors Suburban (black)
in the sun. He told her if he ever see's it there again he'd shoot it.
Needless to say the cat became an indoor cat. You could get yourself a
live trap put it in the back seat catch the cat(s) then call the police
to report it. Tell your neighbor you want them to pay to recover you
seats.

  I'v known both all the Berijiks for a long time and they would have no

NOS and know the basics of Ecomonics 101 when it comes to making money but
they would never do that.

I'm a cat liker (not lover) and would be upset too.  They don't normally
get that nuts unless it thought it was trapped.  What a shame - you have
our condolences (and understanding if you happen to flatten on or two
accidentally in the street one day).

Subject: Official Toro owner

Well, it's official. Tonight, I brought home the 68 Toronado. After 2 hours of
frustration with the brother's oh-so-aptly named "wrecker", I could see that
it was a Bad Plan, and damage was going to occur. As luck would have it, the
land baron had a trailer that he let me use- what a godsend! Winch her up, fly
home. All the way the muscular front end grinning at me in the rear view
mirror, just inches from the truck, as if it were about to jump in with me.

She's not quite as spotless as my feeble memory recalled, but not bad at all
for a driver. Some rust. Got one mouse with the traps while it awaited rescue.
Definitely needs a new vinyl top. Chrome wheels are looking GOOD. Interior
shows driver seat wear & tear, but is otherwise great. 8-track looks great.
Needs a windshield. Needs a Left taillite lens, sorta. Anybody got one?


Is that front tire smoke I smell?  :-)

Subject: Fuel line stripped from carb

70 Cutlass Supreme 350 4-bbl has fuel line wrapped with a rubber band to
get it to stay in the carb.  I am told there is a kit of some kind which
will fix this without having to replace the factory carb.  Has anyone
tried this and if so how good does it work?

This is indirectly Olds related.  I am looking at a 91 Taurus SHO for my
17 year old daughter to learn to drive in before she gets her hands on
one of my Olds.  Has anyone had any dealings with the SHO good or bad?
Please no general bad mouthing of Henry's cars. I'm looking for honest
answers as I know from reading the list others have vehicles other than
Olds.  Thank you for any assistance.

How come ? You didn't miss Moses ?

Both the car and the hound belong to our family.
Moses (the hound) has plenty of room in the backseat of Niny.

Moses has soon his first birthday. He is still growing.

The kids seem to be "stupid" enough not to be afraid Moses. He is wery
friendly and sound when outside the race track. When racing .... that's
another story.

> My compliments to the both of you (Karl, and esko).
Mine too, especially to Karl who put that picture on his site. I'm
supposed to be a pro in the telecommunication business but I still don't
have a homepage of my own !!!!


BTW Moses does quarter mile in 25 seconds.......

That should be a good idea but I recommend a repair kit too. Otherwise

First of all. Are You absolutely sure the problem is the carburetor ?
It could be as well a clogged fuel filter or broken fuel pump membrane.

Give the original a chance.
Get a "spare" carburetor but don't toss the original one. Here is a goo=

to make Yoursel more comfortable with carburetors. They are quite simpl=

I believe it's because the majordummy server sees that word and processes
it as an information request.  (such as in unix, you'd type help followed
by some command, and it would return certain contexts for that command...)
It basically bounces the message if the word help is in the subject
heading.  I suppose there are other sensitive words, as well, but "help"
seems to be the most common.
Greg can probably add a lot more to this...

My cat (well, one of 'em) absolutely ~loves~ to get into cars.  ~Any~
window, door, etc. left open is fair game for her.  I'd never worried about
it, because she's really well mannerred.  This cat got locked in the trunk
of the GS for about 12 hours, and another time inside the 77 Toro for
nearly three days.  Not only did she not claw anything up, she didn't even
make any messes at all.  She sure seemed happy to get out, though!  She was
crashed out on the floor of the back seat when I found her (apparantly
doing the same while I was working on the car, and didn't notice me closing
the door when I was done?)  I was really pleased when I found everything
safe.  I wish ~all~ cats could be like that.  My stepdad's old cat (long
dead, now, unrelated causes) used to do the same thing with an open window,
but would mark any and all territories found within the boundaries of said
windows.  Everytime it rains, or I wash my car, I find pawprints all over
the hood and roof.  One time I had four muddy streaks down the windshield,
too.  Dammit!  At least I've got ~one~ good cat!  It's too bad that others'
animals can't be trained to behave.  It's really too bad that shooting 'em
is a bad idea, too.  You ~know~ that the demon that's tearing up your pride
and joy quite likely belongs to some little girl down the street, and
things would probablty go downhill from there.  Cats have nine lives, and
sometimes it's sure tempting to make it 8...  But...

Oh well, good luck getting your seat back, I sure hope the owner can fess
up to the responsibility and fork over some cash, but we all know that's
not likely to happen.  My heart goes out to you there...

I have seen it do this with 3 words (dummied up below to keep this one
from getting bounced!): h*lp, uns*bscribe, and s*bscribe. If any of them

majordomo thinks you are trying to talk to it and sends the message to me.

Subject: Cutlass for trailering???

Anyone here ever used their Cutlass for towing a trailer?  I'm considering
just that, but have heard some stories of bad experiences that way.  I'll
be towing with either a 425 or 455, depending on which way the quarter
lands, and running through a the TH350 and 3.23's.  I'll be putting on a
tranny cooler, class IV receiver, and equalizer head (~G-O-D~ those things
are spendy!!!!!)  I ~might~ put the air bags on the axle if I get too much
sag back there (everyone says I'll drag the bumper, even with an EQ head)
I've heard stories of cars just not being up to the task due to the coil
spring rear end, which they say leads to swaying.  I've never heard of
that.  Anyone have any experience in this area?  Am I crazy to consider it?
 From a logic perspective, the big block Olds should and will outpull any
che*y I have available to me, plus be able to do it in comfort, ~with~ my
stereo :)  After 10000+ miles, that's a big factor.  (That way I won't
smoke up my parents' tranny, either...)  I'll be pulling an 18' Circle-D
dovetail with wood floor and 3500 lb axles.  These are rumored to be easy
pulling trailers.  They're made in Texas (I guess it'd be bigger down there;)

Does anyone have any experience here?  Any comments, suggestions, horror
stories?  If I'm in for problems, I'd like to know ~before~ shelling out
the $600 to outfit the Rockit for trailering...

Got pic's back yesterday of the 81, 82, and 83 together.  My server's
down, and the new one is not active yet (I'm getting ~worried!!!!~) so I
can't post 'em yet.  My Netscape won't work at all, I get no name server
response.  I don't know if that's a local problem at the school's server,
or if our name server's down (although all the mail requests are going out
OK, I don't know if they use the same DNS, though)  Anyone know if my web
page is even still there???

It sounds like I can have that '87 as soon as next week, too:)  Anyone
else getting stricken by this Cutlass virus?  It's hitting me ~hard~!!!

Oh, yeah.  Does anyone know of an Offenhauser web page???  I got asked
yesterday (of course ~I~ can't go check right now, da**it, so I have to
ask...)

If I remember correctly, a sort of ammonia/water mixture will help clean it

Hmmm... that's interesting.  I've got a friend who's boss used to own/work at
a junkyard down in that area.  It was his mothers' (from father who died), or
mother-in-law's place, and she decided to get out, and sold it.  Not sure how
long ago this was, but I'm guessing in the last 6 mos., or something like
that.  Guy's name was Steve, and I thought it was from mid-state somewhere.
 He had quite a few cars (nice, older), but he was into Ch*vy stuff.  He had
a 69ish Camaro, mid 60's vette (w/tuned port injection 350 from newer Vette),
and a short bed Ch*vy C-10 pick-up with a stock 454, and air cond. (oddball).
 Wonder if they are all the same place/person....

I used my '70 P*ntiac LeM*ns to tow another LeMans on a trailer from
Shreveport to Dallas. Main thing is the trans cooler, cause that TH-350
is going to get HOT. I drove about 60-65 for 178 miles and that car and
transmission are still on the road today (about 4 years later). I had
air shocks on the back of that car and had to pump them up a little bit,
but that was it.

...Anyone here ever used their Cutlass for towing a trailer?...

     Well, I can't help you with G-body experience (and which year would
     _this_ one be?  ;)  ), but I used a 70 Supreme with a 350/TH350 combo
     for a lot of heavy-duty towing.  Had a Class III hitch welded to the
     frame and installed air shocks (bags would be a better solution).
     This car (which, BTW, cost me $100 with a blown motor) trailered
     virtually all of my friend's projects (two 36 Dodges, a 70 Cuda, and
     others) as well as my 66 442 convert.  Note that I found the 66 in San
     Jose and towed it back to LA over the Grapevine (easily passing the
     imports and pulling down 17+ mpg to boot!).

     I did not use an equalizing hitch, and I did have problems with the
     bumper dragging (the air shocks helped dramatically).  I did not have
     problems with sway, once the car being trailered was properly loaded
     on the trailer.  This primarily required getting the trailered vehicle
     far enough forward on the trailer so that the CG was forward of the
     trailer axles.  This positioning, while necessary for proper
     stability, caused the rear suspension to bottom (thus the air shocks).

     Good luck
