72 Cutlass starting problems

2006-11-08 Thread ggregory77

I was driving today and the car just died which has never happened before, checked the carb is getting gas, then checked the distributor which is a HEI, came with the car, changed the ignition module and coil pack, car started up after quite a few tries and moving the cap around some, then drove it back home, then it got worse, had to pull over every couple of blocks, at the stop light it ran and died out, on her last leg when I put it in drive it died out but after a few tries in park it would start by this time the battery went down from all the starts, a co-worker informed me that the timing may have moved but the distrubutor has been fastend down for the last 2 years and has not been touched since then, meanwhile he said that i may have bent the valves because of the timing may be off, hope not but since the trans has been rebuilt and the motor has not been touched I guess the motor is next, any suggestions, the motor is a 72 350 4bbl, and what we figured at Advance Auto the HEI may be from a 75 350.

Sorry for the short notice

If you are available MONDAY at all, in the area, you may wish to get a 
truck/ Trailer and arrange to get some of the bricks/ rubble from the Olds 
demolition site.


One shot only.
Monday only

Please contact Willis Dennis if you can help.
I can supply some acreage in the boondocks to store said bricks for a while 
if you do not have the space.

Hello List,
I am having some issues with my 98 Aurora.  It is running rough at idle 
(surging etc.) and up to about 3000 rpm.  Under hard acceleration, it pops or 
backfires in the intake/airbox or such.  This it started doing this about two 
weeks ago and has been getting worse.  The service engine light came on today, 
but was off the last time I drove it.  My mileage has also been getting 
worse...usually averages 20 mpg but it is now down around 17.5 mpg.Anyone 
have any ideas? I am on digest.

Thoughts on 78-88 Gauge packages

2006-11-08 Thread bcroe
There were so many bulbs burned out, I couldn't 
see the speedo at night anymore.  Since it was 
coming out, I tried a couple of ideas.  

High brightness white LEDs to replace those hot 
and short lived illuminators.  The trouble with LEDs, 
is they send out a rather narrow cone of light 
instead of omnidirectional.  I had some plug in 
LED replacements, which had an inverted cone 
top to redirect the light in a side circle.  Trouble 
was, this was not the right place for my gauges.  
Maybe a custom arrangement could use LED 
illumination, but the plug ins get a big X.  

The next problem with these gauges is where the 
turn signal and high beam indicators are jammed 
into a left over spot.  These are too small, the old 
plastic lenses are gradually turning opaque, and 
they are directly behind the rim of my steering wheel.  
Possible solution:  put some colored LEDs along 
the bottom edge of the gauge package.  2 green 
for each turn signal, a blue for high beam.  

Drilling a .195" hole (file a little) lets an LED glue 
in.  The LED should be pushed all the way in, 
bacause there is little room for them behind.  But 
that means they can't be at the very bottom edge, 
or they will hit the clear cover.  

The LED beam is somewhat narrow, but plenty 
wide for the driver.  Since it points right into your 
eye, the power level should be very low.  The 
problem shifts from being invisible, to being too 
bright.  Maybe a resistor to allow 1 ma current.  
Question is, does there need to be a day/night 
dimmer for the turn signal indicators?  

This has promise (that I'll no longer drive down 
the road with a turn signal running).  A little more 
experimentation should work this out.  Maybe 
another time, I'll take another shot at replacing 
those troublesome illumination bulbs.  

Some other work on these units concerns cleaning 
up poor contacts, which degrades gauge readings 
and lights.  Most of this can be fixed better than new, 
by a combination of cleaning contact surfaces, and 
a few wires added to parallel the circuit board paths.  
The actual gauges are quite reliable.

Re: 65 Cutlass AXLES

From: Kerry Doyle <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Subject: Re: 65 Cutlass AXLES

Unbolt the retainers on the ends of the housing. Get
an axle puller (Auto Zone will loan one to you) and
jerk out the axles. Clean the axles, press off the old
bearings and retainers and press on the new bearings
and retainers.

Next remove the old axle seals and replace them with
new ones. You will need a seal puller or a slide
hammer with an attachment. The seals are pressed in
the end of the axle housing. The best way to press
them back in is to find a socket that is rhe right
diameter and hammer them back into the axle tubes.


I'm sorry, what?
The seals are outboard of the bearings on my '70 O-type 12-bolt,  
meaning that one has to change the bearings to change the seal. I had  
to do that just a year ago - wasted a perfectly good bearing. Are '65  
O-types different?
Now, my '79 RX-7 has sealed axle bearings with the axle seal pressed  
into the housing inboard of the bearing, as you describe.


If this has already been discussed, I apologize. I'm catching up on  
digests.

 Glad to hear that. ;-)

>But I did ask for the head I.D.

 Me too, seems he has a 68-72 shortblock with smogger J heads in there. With

> Seller's payment instructions
> WIRE TRANSFERRED BEFORE ITEM CAN BE SHIPPED.
> EBay themselves state to never do a wire transfer.

 Ebay tells you never to do a wire transfer yet they haven't disallowed it 
as
 a form of payment. They seem to leave it up to the buyer's discretion
 whether to trust the seller enough to use a wire transfer.

Ebay has an odd way of handling their own policies at times. I went round 
and round with them a few months ago about a parts car auction of mine that 
they kept removing. Finally they told me that the problem was that I 
mentioned the car having a clear title. HUH?! Why can't a junk car have a 
clear title? If the car has a title Ebay does not consider it a parts car 
BECAUSE Ebay does not have a brokerage license, therefore they cannot charge 
a fee based on the final sales price. That's why Ebay charges a flat $40 to 
list and a $40 final value fee for the "normal" cars for sale catagory. 
Ebay's customer service rep told me to relist the car, but DO NOT mention a 
title. As long as I don't say that I have a clear title for any car that I 
list in the parts cars catagory, I'll be ok. Otherwise, they'll shut down my 
auctions and suspend my account if I persist in doing so.

So, most of the cars in the parts car catagory are being sold illegally 
under Ebay's own policy if they mention having a title. Cute...can you say 
Ebay doesn't want to lose the revenue from those auctions therefore they 
give you a way to get around their own policy.

In PA, I have to have a title just to junk the car!! There's ways around 
that too, but...

Anyways...
 It is a nice looking '72 C/S, but I don't think it's Buy-it-Now at $12,900
 nice. I have a feeling it's mostly a nice paint job on a car that has been
 kinda thrown together. That's what I'm seeing by the pics anyway. The
 undercarriage pics make it look like a daily driver that someone gave a
 paint job and slapped in a big block. A sharp looking driver or a work in
 progressatleast he's in the ballpark and not looking for $25 or $30
 grand.

I agree with you on this one. He appears to be up to no good. If he sold it 
as a rolling chassis as he replied to Kerry...then no problemit's legal.

>He is unusually mad at me right now

And in this day and age, I have a feeling you could get him into some deep 
cow dung with the threats he has made to you.

Just my opinion:
VIN tags...illegal.  As far as selling cowl tags, I don't know if it's legal 
or illegal. I understand what you and Dennis are both saying about this 
subject. Personally, I don't believe in selling or swapping any of the tags 
or title. I'm also one that believes a car that needs rebodied to survive 
has reached it's life expectancy and is ready to be parted and buried...no 
matter what it is.

Most of the time, a cowl tag alone isn't gonna do diddly squat for someone 
trying to fake a rare car unless it shows some unusual paint or interior 
code like the cowl tag from my '72 H/O with the W45. Obviously, that tag, 
some paint and a few options can turn any Lansing built '72 Supreme with a 
factory 455 (U, V or X code vin) into a Hurst/Olds.

Maybe I'm dense, but I don't see any benefit in someone taking sa...a 
green (exterior color) bench seat Cutlass and turning it into a bucket seat 
Viking blue car and swapping the cowl tag to match. That's done so often, 
that I can't see any monetary benefit in "showing" it as original. I don't 
feel that your average buyer would care if it was original or a conversion 
unless it was a concourse quality car.

>I just don't like someone bastardizing our Olds hobby.

Speaking of which, you have to be careful of anyone you buy a car from. Back 
in '99 or '00 I bought a car north of the border and the seller asked me if 
I could bring back a tranny and an envelope for a certain well known OAI 
hood reproducer/Olds restorer. Well, the guy came and picked up the tranny, 
but forgot the envelope (I wasn't home and my wife didn't know). Envelope 
wasn't sealed so I looked inside to see if was anything important or if it 
could wait until I saw him at Carlisle in a month or so. Inside...the three 
necessary pieces to make a 1970 442. He came out for the envelope. I asked 
him a couple years later what he did with the contents. He told me they were 
still sitting on his deskmakes me wonder though. Really nice person...no 
problem there...but are his cars real? Could one of those high dollar 
restorations that he sold at the Atlantic City auction really been a plain 
jane Cutlass?
