You might check out Supercars Unlimited. They carry a good variety of
engine parts. Keep in mind though, speed is a question of money. How
fast do you want to go?

That sounds interesting - I'd like to hear all the...uh....communications
during a race.

If you have something that interests you - research a bit & just sit down &
write.  You might surprise yourself.

It concerns exempting California cars 25 yrs. & older from the

I got my set for my '67 88 from Everett Horton.  Did he unsubscribe for
Lansing & not reappear yet?  Can someone pass on his info for Bill?  If not
I'll hunt up his card again.

Yo, Michael,

Thanks for the quick response.  I found the passenger side bezel in Virginia
Beach for $20. I have neither a need for one for the driver's side nor do I
have one to sell.  Unless you could get it to me in Chesapeake, Virginia for
the same price, I will have to pass.  Thanks.

Repost from hotrod...
================================================================

Hello Classic Car fans!!!

Last week we were delighted to hear the SB-42 measure was passed by
The Appropriation Committee.   Now the Assembly has passed it with
flying colors.

Now we only have one more person to get this passed.  Pete Wilson,
our Governor.   Please call him at 1-916-445-2841 to express support
for passing this measure.  and by all means send this out to other
classic car lists.   This sure brightened up my day!!!

Thanks!!!

PizzaRino...............Pete Serino

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^


I am a coauthor of the measure and was the designated Floor Manager for
the bill and chief sponsor in the Assembly.  It passed the Assembly
yesterday by a wide margin!

Assemblyman Jim Cunneen

OL>> I have a rough idle in my '78 Delta 88 (350/TH350) and it hesitates

OL>this device should not decrease the maximum power output of the engine.
OL>On the other hand, it would make light throttle driving more responsive.
OL>In my observation, a disconnected vacuum advance shouldn't induce a
OL>hesitation, but this would be dependent on spark timing, idle speed, etc.

OL>BTW, is your '78 350 completely stock?  It should be able to run just fine
OL>on 87 octane fuel.  I just recurved the distributor on a friend's '77 350.
OL>He claimed he had to use premium (92 octane) only.  The engine now feels
OL>more responsive, does not ping (even with the EGR disconnected), all
OL>while consuming 87 octane fuel (a savings of ~$6 Cdn per tankful over 92).

I am running an edelbrock performer intake and a K&N filter, those are
the oly aftermarket items.  I'll check out the timing this weekend to
see if it is set to stock (20 btdc)
I could use a distributor recurve maybe, I'll see if I can get it done
in auto shop class

OL>mike....one other thing I forgot to mention is your vacuum lines, the most
OL>troubling one being the vacuum to the transmission . How is the tranny
OL>shifting?

I haven't noticed it shifting really hard, but some of the shifts at low
speed do kick, but it has done that before.

Bill,

I waited a while for you to get settled again, but here I am again!
It's frustrating to have been so close to these (1964?) Vista Cruiser
scripts, seeing the picture you took...
I have the GM partª's for the cripts. Can you maybe call that vendor and
check if the scripts are the correct one's?
These are the ª's:
          RH  "Vista"      384284
          LH  "Vista"      384285
          RH  "Cruiser"  384286
          LH  "Cruiser"  384287
Thanks in advance!

BTW, I send this mail from my work and I'm only on the digest.
Considering the timezone I'm in, by the time you read this I'll be home for
the weekend. But you can reach me there also:

Hi Oldsmobile friends,
   Yesterday I saw a sad sight, a perfectly good, straight, rustfree 66 Olds
Toronado in the local wrecking yard.  It cannot be bailed out whole of its
present predicament, but all the parts can and they are in great condition,
except for upholstery.  It is factory gold paint, no body work ever done.
Let me know if anyone needs parts, I will get them for you, with only
reasonable
cost for my work to take them off and prepare for shipping.  Time is
critical, the beautiful Olds will be crushed in 2-3
weeks.

Sincerely,  Michael J. Morton
