You don't have to pull the distributor out

How much did you pay for the kit

I have a 72 Olds w30 and just had the front end totally re-done. My guy said EVERYTHING down to the bushings and tie rods was from 1972. Best built GM product ever. Love my Rocket 442.

It’s very apparent to see that these humans know more about cars than Psalm 91 🤦‍♂️🫵😢

It needs the correct window beads All around too

The rubber end gaskets are generally used in stock applications. Most aftermarket intake manufacturers recommend to use rtv only and not use the rubber seals

Beautiful car man love it

Great video! I just acquired a ‘69 Oldsmobile Cutlass and I enjoy the look of both the front and rear taillights on this model compared to the others. Appreciate your efforts doing the comparisons. 👍

Very nicely kept Car, Bobby.

My wife and I drove a lot of miles & dated in High School in my 1969 Oldsmobile Cutlass, Gold Exterior, White interior. I did not know about the Hurst Olds 442 until recent years. It would have special meaning to own one of the 900+ originals, probably an investment. Perhaps, a second option would be to build a base Olds Cultlass into a Restomod in the Hurst 442 theme like Chip Foose or Ring Brothers would. I forgot about the pull footwell vents until now.

Cant watch with those diapers on your chins! lol

One other thing that I noticed was on the blue car that you said was 1970 it has a more flatter top body line right behind the side back glass that body line is like the 1972 on certain body design they had two different body designs starting in 1970 with that same flatter body line and some came with the 68/69 body line I had a 1970 Cutlass s and my brother had a 1968 442 and my 70 body was identical to the 68 body except for the light's hood and grill and things so that's when I found out that they have two different body designs

Get a Thornton hood they are the best it will coast you $$$$. But they are the best hahahah. 3k+.

no mention of some of your pics shows a light blue 70 with flat rear quarters, but then you show a darker blue 1970 with rounded rear quarters. what's the story on these 70-72 rear quarter differences?

Beauty car.

69 with the supreme trim looks great

68-70 are perfection, 71 and 72s are pretty fugly...

I do miss my 71 Oldsmobile Cutlass S.

Another mask wearing ***!!! Your outside man!!

Would’ve been nice to see you replace the spring in the tv plunger

I could tell the difference between the ‘68-‘72 cutlass by the tail light designs.

My Dad was an Olds dealer in 1970, I was 14 at the time we sponsored 2 Cutlass w-31's at the local drag strip.Great memories! That's a truly unique color combination! Thanks for sharing.

I tried this install on my 65 c10 and can’t get it to shift past 2nd

Very informative- thanks! I always had an issue distinguishing the 71 and 72 apart. I’m going to assume that some of the confusion should be laid at the feet of the people that used some of the tail light assemblies interchangeably between 71 and 72 and that’s why I didn’t know which belonged to which. Thanks for straightening that out!

LOL, "We are being safe and wearing our masks" Every time I see these people that live in one of these states where their "citizens" are simps. I hope their beloved government confiscates their gas guzzler and crushes it right in front of them because it does not fit the new "climate agenda" Sad for us gear heads but "Hey, it is just the right thing to do to save the planet"

I was sold on identifying a car my wife is inheriting (can’t read the VIN yet) as a 1971, based on your video, then you threw the wrench in with the horizontal taillights, which this one does not have. It looks most like the 1970. So, how do I have a convertible red cutlass with white stripes, dual intakes in the hood that has a rear bumper of a 1970 and a front grill like a 71 and the sides, especially at the rear resemble a 1969? So confusing. I will know more once it is towed to my yard, since all I have are photos for now. Then I can locate a readable VIN and be certain.

My father owns one as well except it doesn’t have the fin. His is emerald green with white. His is 1972 Cutlass Supreme 442 W30 with 455. Automatic with side shifter, White inside, power windows,power door locks, racing seat belts. He has brand new (from 72) front and rear bumpers still in packaging. It was hit by old man with big Cadillac and slightly dented both bumpers. Thanks for the information. Car is special to me as it was my birth year.

I have a 1972 w-30 ,

Nice car !!!my first car was a 71 cutlass 442.buick had the most ft.pounds @ 510.but ya beautiful car man.

i love your videos. are you not making new ones anymore?

What did you pressures end up reading?

Is this car a Cutlass or a 442 ? It has Cutlass S emblems inside and 442 on the outside. I guess you have to check the numbers?

The grills are plastic and the door edge guard are factory. Thats the stock hood as well.

the real beauty of the 442 is under the hood...at the time, they didn't look like much...until you started the engine. 😎💖

Just finished watching the video and I can attest I felt the same way. Although, 442s are my favorite, a 70-72 GTO was my first bucketlist dream car I lusted after before 442s eventually won my love. However, since it was the first car I committed to one day owning I bought one anyway instead of a 442. I slept, breathed, and drank GTO as a kid in the 90s. I dropped out of high school but then said “ what the hell am I doing” bc I knew without a education I would never make enough to own one and it would always be a pipe dream, so I enrolled back in. Long story short things worked out, I’m 38, and 2 years ago I bought my 4 speed 72 Cardinal red GTO, and balled my eyes out driving it home. I remember putting the radio on and Jimi Hendrix was playing on the radio, it was like I stepped back in time and I just lost myself like a little baby. I could not believe I got it after so many years of fantasizing of owning one. I got over it though and sold it, now I’m off to get a 442. Well, I had two kids….so maybe a vista cruiser.

I only needed to see about 8 second of this video before I decided to subscribe.

Many people don't realize or know that the 455 was installed down the assembly line In Lansing, MI. Breaking G.M.'s own cubic in rules. The top brass in Detroit thought motor swap from 400 to 455 was being done at Demmer engineering & Hurst Performance. G.M.'s rule went out the window in 1970.

I love these models....

Magnificent. 🥇

OMG just beautiful! We have a 72 Cutlass convertible that is a rolling restoration right now can't wait till it looks as good as yours.

This would have been a perfect car [imo], if it had the fin, the his/hers Hurst shifter, was gold/blk stripes. The 70' W30 I owned/sold in the 80's [grrr], was gold/blk stripes, auto, etc which explains my thoughts above.

I've always loved oldsmobile w 30 . I brought a 72 when I saw one beat a 69 hemi road runner with dual quads. At a nostalgia race

BEAUTIFUL

I first got an Olds in looked like an old mans car, by the second day I noted the power and the stiff handling, the sway bars are as thick as the one ton dodge we had, car will never lean, made like this from the factory. Being a sleeper I fell in love still have it today. It is really hard to explain but I know what this guy is talking about.

A 455 is 30 over on a 400 block. I wished I knew why, GM or Cadillac already had a 502 big block, why didn't Olds just use a 502 on the W30's and Hurst Olds? I believe they are the same size about. An Eldorado I got my license in the 502 sure yanked that heavy Cadillac around with ease. The Eldo front wheel drive will eat the front tires which had to be replaced often.

I remember when the farm boy's got their 442's

awesome Car I live iN oHIO , and now in the search for a real real nice Olds 442 from 1972-1966 yr range, Im keeping all those Years open in my mind to buy because I love all of them, just never had a garage big enough for everything until this year, what a Beautiful find n awesome car !!

wow wihat a great Car and awesome owner who really appreciates n loves his car very very very much, I love the Viking Blue n white Color combination, and love that he drives his car n enjoys it n isn't shy to get on that motor sometimes, Imo Oldsmobile is the best riding car n the motors just flat out go n is unbeatable in reliability, but they handle in a way that is such a joy to drive in a way we become part of the drive as become one going down the road the car n driver is meld perfectly together, so may Oldsmobiles i have owned n ridden in has proved that time n time again ! Great car !!
