I received an IM on another forum (G-body) I used to frequent when I had my Olds. The guy saw my old Cutlass at the Leicester drag strip just south of Rochester NY.

Well my dad just about knocked me over with a short sentence last week, "I built this for you son, and I am giving it to you". He has been working for the last year to restore a 1969 Chevrolet C20 Truck, and last week he told me it was mine? I had no idea that was what he was planning, and has asked...

Just wondering if anyone has any ideas of how I can get my stock hood to fit back on me and my dads car with the 540. Probly will have to change the intake and carb. Or just get a new hood. Stock hood looks so much nicer sometimes. Just asking for ideas. Thanks

Any Ideas? It doesn't look like it is coming from above or the oil pan as there is no indication of oil. Is it possible there is some leakage fromthe rear main behind the inspection cover and it is thown onto the sproket end of the nose housing? Or can it leak though the bolt holes of the starter? Thanks...

While chasing down an oil leak today (damn oil gauge connector), I noticed that one of the bell housing bolts was loose. I am sure I torqued these to 30 ft lb as specified when the engine was out of the car this winter. What should I do. Re-torque to 30 ft lb. Use lock-tight, if so which one? Or use a lock...
