Anyone out there know where I might be able to find a wiring harness for
a '62 Jetfire?  I fear it may be akin to searching for a fresh dinosaur
egg.  Any help is appreciated.  Thanks.

My personal experience has varied with these.  I have run side by side test
with AC plugs and Splitfire's in my 1991 Chevy P/U 350/700R/3.42.

I went from brand new AC replacement plugs.  I was getting 13 mpg city and 17
mpg highway.  I switched to Splitfire's and the mileage jumped to 15 and 17
respectively.  The plugs were the only thing that I changed.  A more than 10%
increase in mileage by just changing plugs made them worth it in my opinion.
 The third set of these plugs I put in though have been less than
satisfactory.  When I took them out this time they had deposits all over them
after just 15K.  Upon further inspection I found that they were a different
type of plug from the previous set, which I happened to keep.  I believe that
the second set were a colder set. Thank's to Part's America for giving me the
wrongs plugs.

Most people I have talked to who use Splitfire and hav had good luck with
them are people who are using them in a fuel injected engine.  I don't know
why that would be.  The only thing that I can figure is that with the O2
sensor sniffing the exhuase that the computer adjust the fuel flow/pressure
to compensate.  Thus the better mileage.

As for the burnt pistons etc.  I can't believe that changing the plugs would
do that.  I suppose it could happen in a high-performance/race engine if the
plug change resulted in a lean burn situation.  Isn't that was causes burnt
pistons after all?  At least every time I watch a NASCAR race when they talk
about burning a piston it's because they leaned out the engine too much to
try to get better mileage.  I guess if I was running a car with a carb I
would try to adjust the carb jetting to compensate for the new plugs before I
made any all out passes.

Just my $.02.

Let's see, $250.00 per car saved, I don't know worldwide yearly
production for the Corolla, I will guess at 250,000. 250,000 * $250.00 =
$ 62,500,000.00...

Yep, that is significant in my book!

That's right, Dan.  The Celebrity Sedan is the -69 body style which makes
it the 4-door Sedan with a pillar.  There wasn't a 2-door model, however.

Hey Joe,
Seeing as how it would be hard to drive all of your cars to Dallas, I'd
be willing to babysit a ~few~ of them for you if you go.

All olds smal block V8's have inter changable parts so you could put an
bigger engine in it ans still pass emissions as long as you put all the

        Thanks for your reply. I am in the U.S.A.. Do you know where I
can get an owners manual? They seem to be very hard to find. Does 425
sound right for the engine in my car? Its a screamer and lots of fun to
drive.

         Bye for now,

Hello,
I would like to thank Mark Cornea for giving me help on how to create a web
page!!! I also created a W31 page. I have no pictures of my car yet. I need
to get a scanner. I have info on the W31 and I talk about some of the things
on my car. There is a link there to a page I also created. It lists all of
the colors and their numbers for 1970. It also lists the interior colors
available with certain colors. The address for it is:

http://members.aol.com/DROLDS350/CutlassW31.html

Once I get my pictures it will be good!!! (Hopefully!!!)

Subject: RE: Scanners and Computer digital cameras

FWIW, I just started using an Epson PhotoPC 500 digital camera.  I've been
using Microtek, Umax and HP Scanjet scanners for several years and they are
great, but I'm really impressed with the camera for its convenience and
simplicity in immediately popping a nice 640 x 480 first generation right into
the computer via a serial cable.  No waiting (or expense) for photo
processing, no effort required at scanning.  Of course, it can't do an OCR
scan of documents, or other things a scanner can do.  But you may want to try
one of these things out.  They're really neat.  If you want any more details
on the camera, feel free to email me.

This is kinda Olds related in that I want to be able to put shots of my
cars in the computer.  I have no idea what to look for when shopping for
a scanner and/or camera.  Any suggestions/experiences/constructive
comments would be appreciated.
