My new car

Tbandit2k · Post by **Tbandit2k** » Thu Mar 14, 2002 12:24 pm

hurray I finally got my new car
a 76 cutlass supreme with a 350 cid , dual exhaust and the super heavy duty package
best thing its dam near mint ...cant wait till i show those typeR punks how american muccle plays.

dont worry other than a 442 hood and paint scheme and ralli rims the exterior is going to remain pretty stock

well it's good you bought a merican car, however the 76 cutlass is not a muscle car, i had a 77, with the 350, the 350 then only had 165hp stock, it's a shitty engin, stay away from the 75-77 olds 350's they suck ass, my flippin' chev astro is faster, take my advice get a new motor, try to find a pre 73 olds 455 rocket, because all gm engins from the mid to late 70's are junk if you push them too hard they'll crack(literaly)

well I know the 75-77 350's blow
(rated 180hp 280lf/ft) and I would like to eventually drop a 455 or a 454.But what really got me is the immacuate condition of both engine and car...and for 1000$ , besides I dont have a super well paying job so I have gas to consider. The two other cars I was looking for were 76-81 datsun 280zx turbo (u can kill me cuz its an import but those cars look straight) and a 72-76 Thunderbird with a 351W . It'll Still eat rice

well a 454, is not a good idea, and a 455 will cost you, and the rear ends in those things an't so great, get a new rear end, pull one from the wreckers from a mid 80's chev caprice(really well built) and get a 80's chev 350, i've built a 350 up, and for about 1200$ you can squess about 400 ponnies out of her

Lol started the car up after buying a battery....and for being stored for 5 years it ran almost perfect , almost id say cuz i blew a fuel pump gasket and it vomited gas in an almost endless stream.
Well looks like ill be dishing out 5$ for a new gasket then 50$ for some shop to put it in.Id do it myself but I need someplace clean so I dont get dust dirt and crap in it ...

Why dont you just get Canadian Tire to do it? Then charge it on the credit card they gave you. haha

Tbandit2k · Post by **Tbandit2k** » Sat Mar 30, 2002 11:03 am

They quoted me 200$ to replace a fucking Gasket ...thats bullshit, Ill just go to Dickensfeild , thats where I always took my tempo and stang.

a feul pump gasket? are you serious, that takes about 5min 10 at most, it's easy any one with one armj and a socket set can do it

Tbandit2k · Post by **Tbandit2k** » Tue Apr 02, 2002 10:41 am

Yeah Iv done it before and am doing it again on weds, I was going to the shop anyways to get the car inspected so I figured id get it done while it was there

You think I should replace the Fuel tank , I was thinking last night how much moisture and buldge have collected over the years...Iv been looking at some fuel cells on the internet. What do you think Kevin?

Ash · Post by **Ash** » Tue Apr 02, 2002 4:57 pm

leave the gas tank alone, they never die, just leak, i would change all the rubber feul lines, 2 things you should look at because it was stored for 5 years, the tourque converter probably corroded, and the diff probably is too, not a for sure thing but better safe than sorry, hey i'd like to see this car sometime, because i too think they're sharp looking cars give me a call 901 5492, but in any case, don't drive the shit out of it, just because you have the power doesn't mean you have to use it, ahhh who am i kidding, Fire it up!!!!!

Tbandit2k · Post by **Tbandit2k** » Wed Apr 03, 2002 5:21 pm

yeah thats the first thing im going to do
1 spark plug wires , and +4 plugs
2 new rubber seals everywhere
3 Zmax (if carrol shelby endorses it , it mus be good)
4 k/n filter
5 valve cover, not very importtant as they're not leaking just yet but the drivers does have a hairline crack.
6 new tires for the rear, dont know what im going to get right now wanted to get a 315 but I just dont have the Cash right now.
What tires would you reccomend
