Threre's also a student with a `71 or so beige 98 2dr and another with a
`67-ish blue delta 88.  There's also a delmont ragtop running around
town, it's about a `66 or so.

So lesse, that makes at least 6 students at VA Tech driving and
appriciating their Oldsmobiles.  I'm not sure if the delmont and the 71
442 are owned by students or townies.   

So don't lose hope, there's still a handful of us "kids" that know a
good car when they drive one. ;)

Subject: an interesting find

I was cearching thru the items at the scrap metal place today, found a large
pile of aluminum sheets with designs cut into 'em. Looks like they used to be
for making, oh, decals or signs  or lettering for boats. Most were nautical
designs or names or what have you, and the design and lettering are
mirror-image. The design is raised slightly, about 1/16" above the plate, and
rather sharp-edged.  Almost like it was used to cut stick-on letters. Pretty
lame stuff, mostly...

 Then I find one that says "QUAD 442", twice, in lettering about 6" tall.
Nifty. So, I have that one, and found one that says "MACH 1", "CAMARO", and a
"horseless carriage" design, too. Great advantage to that last one is that
mirror image makes no difference.

So, of course, they are available to the masses, except for maybe that "QUAD
442"unit. It's about 12x24" overall, says its thing twice. Most had that
feature, like for LH & RH applications. The "Mach 1" lettering is very slanted,
too.

Oh, yeah, got a nice TH400 core too, a '73 OA trans with floor shift brackets
*and* cable still attached. And, a very very new, unused-looking LH xst
manifold with perfect new heat shroud. Small block, standard-issue #1 xman.

That's simple just solder them. real easy. just get one of those little
propane torches and some flux and solder and your all set.
====================

Hmmmm.... solder? to lines with oily trans fluid in/on them? don't think so.
Correct method: use steel fuel/ brake line, flare as necessary using original
end fittings, or if it's just a pinhole due to wear or flex: buy a compression
fitting union and be done w/ it.

Speaking of which... while I was a mechanic last summer... guy was dropping his
ATrans, and rather than fight with the trans line fittings in inaccessible
locations, he used one of them teeny tubing cutters to sever the lines inthe
most convenient spot, then just used compression unions to reassemble. Deucedly
clever, old man!

disposing of some sort of Mopar heads that he paid $125 each for... then said
in his trunk he had a set of rare last year of issue mopar 413? heads, I think
he said aluminum. I got his number, call later. He thinks the mopar heads are
worth "a couple hundred..." They were also disposing of a John Deere riding
lawn mower, everything workable except the carb. Scrapped. Sheesh.

Subject: Diamonds in the rust (junkyard report)

Jason Adcock and I hit a local junkyard this afternoon.  Found one
ragged out and picked over 1971 cutlass S 2-door.  Not much left worth
mentioning.  No windshield but glass looked OK otherwise.  Hood was
there and rust free but dinged here and there.  The doors were removed
for the hinges and left leaning against the car.  Crossmember and
driveshaft in trunk, dash was shot.

Not much special in the G-bodies either.  Jason spotted a rallye pack in
an 84-ish cutlass. (Didn't get a good look at the car, I think it was an
84-ish cutlass)  Had the column shift indicator too.

We did come across what we think was a late 80's-early 90's 442. 
Couldn't tell for sure what it was, it was a fwd red calais with one
smashed door, the other missing, and the front clip removed.  It had a
spoiler and an automatic with console(red).  The door that was left had
oldsmobile written in gold on it, and it was smashed and unrecognizeable
below that. Jason found the 442 mag wheels sitting on the roof.  They're
aluminum or alloy, trimmed in gold, missing center caps.:(  We were
wondering if maybe this was a quad 442, it looks like it has some kind
of sporty trim package.  It's got some odd front end parts in the
trunk(struts, springs, etc.), don't know if they fit the car or not. 

We also came across a `77 Cutlass Brougham with two useable T-top glass
panels in it.  They had something like "Hurst Hatch" written on them. 
Had some kind of small block in it, with a 4bbl EGR intake.

If someone could use something off one of these cars let me know.  You
pay for the part(s) and for shipping.  The yard is located in southwest
VA, 30 miles west of Roanoke, in a town called christiansburg.

That type of dress-up I like...but when you get into solid-black
windows, fluorescent under-car light kits, and Ferrari-class tires, it
almost makes me sick.

That's *exactly* what I was talking about!  I like a car that looks
classy, or sporty, but not overdressed like that '86 Cutlass.  If I
wanted a 'Pimp-mobile', I'd buy an old B*ick convertable, lower it, and
hang a set of Dingo balls from the mirror...I'd never disgrace an Olds
like that!

Rockford Fostgate stickers?  At least he has good taste in stereo
equipment!  Good taste in cars too...must be colourblind, though.  You
said it got "depinked"...how do you mean this?  Was it done with a can
of Tremclad, or the toe of someone's boot?

Is there anyone else besides Mondello and Dick Miller that specialize in
Olds go-fast stuff? I've heard some of you guys mention someone else, but I
don't remember who.

Subject: Re: Still cold start problems

things to check:
choke--make sure when the engine is cold the choke should be closed
fuel pump--i know on my car the fuel pump is bad and when i shut down the
fuel runs out the fuel inlet line and back to the tank
idle jets--screw them in all the way and then unscrew them 1 and a half turns
timing--you might try to retard the timing just a little

just my 2 cents

I would suggest looking at the choke...is the tension correct on the 
choke plates when the engine is cold??.....is the float level 
correct??..this has a lot to do with hot and cold performance...other 
than that I might suggest  looking at the accelerator pump linkage..it 
usually has 2 holes where the acuator rod attaches...you might try the 
longer stroke which is usually the outer hole if its on the inner 
hole...I'd check that....Hoagie
