12/14/2007 7:19:32 PM

yeah boy, just drove it around the block, no power steering and the throttle is a little sticky but she runs!!!

12/14/2007 9:54:41 PM

throttle means its a manual right...might be thinking of clutch...

12/14/2007 9:56:56 PM

its not a manual. it will soon have manual steering though.

12/14/2007 10:01:40 PM

chrome dipsticks are a pain in the ass

12/15/2007 5:52:25 PM

saw this beast cruisin around last night. sounds sweet.

12/16/2007 6:34:02 PM

I need to either get that carb from you or buy one big enough for this motor.

Got the new Powermaster 100A one wire alt. today, and ordered dual 12in electric fans.

12/16/2007 9:54:08 PM

yeah, come get it whenever. it's an older holley 750dp, should fuel it no problem with a rebuild and tune. it was a little too much carb for my small block, and i prefer the "tune it and leave it" streetability of an edelbrock even though it sacrificed a little power.

you can get a lot better performance from a holley, especially at w.o.t., but you do have to fiddle with them quite a bit more on the initial dial in and with weather changes from winter to summer.

Dont get one bigger that what you need. Tuning will be more difficult and bottom end performance will suffer.

either thats one hell of a sleeper, or you need to do some desmogging, go get you a roller cam truck 5.7 longblock from the junkyard, and we'll build a 400hp sleeper, complete with fake ac and smog shit

12/17/2007 10:11:20 PM

it is a dirty engine bay.

joel, you need some chrome.

some chrome alt. brackets and stuff

12/17/2007 10:16:42 PM

12/17/2007 10:18:18 PM

new alternator and new edelbrock carb on today, im going to try it out for a while and see how it works.
so far so good, it seems.

12/17/2007 10:32:34 PM

What kind of emissions equipment did that car come with stock? is any of it left?

12/17/2007 11:04:31 PM

12/18/2007 6:59:03 AM

i need a phat azz french roof rack too.

12/18/2007 6:08:53 PM

haha.

12/18/2007 6:42:31 PM

im putting a CAI on it

12/19/2007 8:19:45 PM

first thing I did when I got the car was fuel pump, ended up taking it off and putting the one that was on it back- turns out my driveability problems were cause the pump was weaker than a threat from slowback. kinda what i figured, after I went richer with different metering rods and the problems got worse. but props to keith for stopping by and helping a nigga out. the car starts, idles, and RUNS HARD much mo better now.

12/21/2007 11:54:58 PM

time to load up the trailer and hit the track.

12/22/2007 1:36:56 AM

the cutlass goes
































I gotta admit, I got a good 3/4 chubby floggin that thing last night, even though it decided to puke a half quart of oil out the dipstick onto the headers and I thought it was gonna go up in flames

12/22/2007 12:01:19 PM

Time for an e-vac system or at least a PCV setup

12/22/2007 2:23:48 PM

^ correct, thats on the short list for sure. I have one of these sitting in a box, but looks like i may have to pull the headers to install it.

also the transmission is definitely gonna have to come out, one of my recent undercar discoveries is that the case has not only the crack at the pan bolt (epoxied it appears) but may have at one time been busted pretty badly at the bellhousing. there has definitely been some welding done to the thing before.

12/23/2007 4:12:22 PM

I had a Cutlass Supreme for a while. It was slow and a lemon, but girls loved it.

12/23/2007 5:36:05 PM

time for a TH400 homie

12/24/2007 10:34:12 AM

be a baller, 4l80e.

12/24/2007 10:47:42 AM

btw i degreed the balancer the other night by hand with a scribe, engraver, metric measuring tape and some third grade math skills

also fixed the dipstick problem, with electrical tape W00T! i think im gonna make it a drift car.

12/24/2007 1:05:35 PM

the one thing i dont like about this edelbrock performer carb is at idle the thing dumps fuel in and wants to foul plugs.

also i need a hood i can fit an aircleaner under... thi nk i found it though

my other big problem now, which isnt so big at all, is dropping it in gear cuts my RPM in half. and high idle isnt good when you park and shut down unless you like your shit sounding like uncle buck's car.


electric fans going in soon, manual steering is in, voltmeter problem is fixed, dash is back together, wasp nests are cleaned out of the wheels, the whistles go whooooooooo

12/24/2007 1:17:14 PM

12/25/2007 12:47:02 AM

12/25/2007 2:55:29 AM

yay for shitty wiring

12/26/2007 10:44:07 PM

damn MND boxes are so fragile

12/27/2007 9:20:13 PM

What the fuck is an MND box?

I thought you were talking about an MSD box there for a second.

12/27/2007 9:26:07 PM

MSD Boxes are a joke. Throw that shit in the trash.

12/27/2007 9:49:52 PM

MSD is multiple spark discharge

MND is might not discharge

they are in fact, the same thing
