1987 Olds Cutlass

Sounds like your moving right along... Hope to see you out tearin' up the streets soon....

first time ive done any of this stuff. steve put the cam in, he was getting restless, thanks for the helping hand, another good friend. put the timing chain in and the rest ive done myself. kinda running out of patience with it put i guess thats what hot rodding is all about.

Hey I got a set of springs that should lower that about an inch. There the front springs from an S-10 and the rear springs from an Camero.

its looks great in person

show us that shiney eye candy rigg's....

pulled it out the other day, still have minor things i must due before driving it.
1. hook up an electric fan
2. clean up some of the unneccesary wiring.
3. let it run and check for leaks.
4. fix the distributor hold down bracket i could not get it tight come to find out i have the bracket on wrong.

Yea... I'm glad that it was able to help you. I've got to get around to that motor. Now that the weather is getting better and if the truck can stay on the road for a while I should be able to get around to working on that beast.

Glad you got it worked out Riggs!

thanks for the offer on these cole.
i got a set of eibach for a very good price and they will lower it 2 inches all the way around

Riggs, do you need a fan or 2??? I have two that are in a shroud I built for a 67/8 Camaro a while back if your interested... Let me know..

i put a flex fan on it and put the org. shroud on it two.. still thinking about hooking up an electric the two i had didnt seem to work to great.

that eye candy you asked for:

way better then b4

Why don't I see a new water pump? You already had it off, why not put a new one on. You spent all that time and money on everything else.

yeah i should have put a new water pump on but funds were running pretty low. i spent enough as it was..

Once you get here running a little pressure washing that thing will be a solid street car for you...KUDOS

Well that $35 of preventative maintenance would have been worth wile since the old one was off. You bought a Cam, rockers, lifters, intake and carb. My vote since you bought new antifreeze and thermostat, the water pump would have been the smart thing to do.

.

next up is duals exhaust with some flows, i'll have to save up for that...

been reading on gbodyforum that the computer controlled distributor doesnt do good when you put in a cam and after market carb. so i bought a vacum advance distributor:
raining out today ill probably stick in there tomorrow or whenever it stops rainig.

that is one sweet dist man

Wow that is sweet for sure!! Sometimes small things like a bad a** dist and a nice set of plug wires can change the looks a lot. Kenny should know he has A VERY NICE set of wires he keeps in this little suit case thing that he has never used. How long have you had them? Like 8 years :!:

ha i know exactly what your talking about. kenny you should post a picture of your little suit case with the plug wires in it. i have a nice set of wires i was going to use on the sbc that is going in the 47 maybe ill go ahead and use those wires. god knows that engine isnt going to be ran in awhile. lol

i might just do that lol

got the rear lowered on saturday. going to wait to do the front. needs shocks 2. might as well do it all the same time....
