  • Tony (@av.boys) and I got distracted by a 1968 Oldsmobile that's been sitting in his back yard for 30 years and try to get it running with lots of cleaning, a few spark plugs, and a very safe water bottle filled with fuel.

    My first builder was an 83 cutlass I found at the back of a GM dealer ( repo special ). It had a 260 v8 and low power. I drove it to my neighbors salvage yard and pulled the motor. He had a 350 big block just like that car. I spent a week after my high school classes and swapped it in. It bolted right into metric turbo 350 trans and all. What a screamer it was and never lost a race. I miss that car so bad now. Thanks for the memories.

    The stripe W36 option is original to that car. What many people do is add it to their 442 if it did not have one. Problem is if the car didn't come with the stripe, the 442 emblem is moved forward slightly so when the stripe is added it is too close to the wheelwell. It ends up into the curve of the wheelwell and doesn't look right. Great project car, one year only unique styling on that car. Safe travels!

    you can actually fill the float bowls by putting gas down the vent tube and get a little bit of idle and possibly a few revs out of it, for something that has been sitting for a long time I recommend using the premixed 2 stroke gas that way the cylinders get a little extra oil with the gas, it'll help the rings on first start up, and help lube the carburetor. nice little tip I picked up from vice grip garage.
