Olds 350 Rebuild
May 11, 2008 - 8:41 PM - by maxfax3
Newbie here looking into getting into a winter project if not before of rebuilding the Olds 350 in my Sis's '75 Delta Convertible.. Been running the last few years on STP and 50 weight oil to main some oil pressure but now that her POS 99 Blazer (That gets comparable gas milage to the Olds, go figger) is paid for she's been instructed that its time....
My question is, are there any tricks or quirks I should look for when rebuilding this engine or will just a standard rebuild be adequate? Its currently at 157K and running strong (with virtually no oil pressure too!!) but I'm still figuring on it needing bored, heads redone, probably some crank work, a new cam, pretty much the works..

I've always dabbled with Ford Clevelands and Modifieds (Sorry ) so I'm not real versed on issues (if any) with this engine.. Are there any cams you guys can reccomend that won't kill the fuel milage and work okay with the (I think) 2.79 gears? WHat about oiling problems (way too familiar with those) Is a high volume oil pump necessary?

I have also been contemplating a 700R4 swap since the trans leaks anyhow.. I've seen the adapters, been thinking that the lower 1st and second geat may work nice with the steep rearend gears..

Any input would be appreciated, Not looking for a 500 horse monster (well I am, she isn't) I just want a good strong engine that will last..

Thanks!

91 Calais Ignition Coil / Module replacement
May 11, 2008 - 1:33 PM - by gferraro
Hello all... Newbie here with sore forearms..

91 Cutlass Calais, 2.5l, manual tranny, very basic, no options....

Trying to remove ignition coil & module for replacment. Followed the GM Shop manual.. disconnect negative battery cable, remove wires, unbolt 3 bolts, pull straight out (being careful of crank position sensor).

Well, I tried for a little over two hours to pull straight out to no avail. The only thing I can think of is the o-ring on the crank sensor is fused to the block.

Any thoughts of how to remove it, short of using a crow bar...

Thanks,
Greg

HELP!!!!: 90' Olds. Toronado Anti Theft Computer Issue?
May 10, 2008 - 6:38 PM - by ammonnelson2002
I have a 90' Olds. Toronado V6. It runs just fine in the driveway. But the second I put it in gear, within 3 minutes everything locks down and the anti theft light goes on.

I have a replacement part, but I can't find where the computer is in order to replace it. I asked a reputable repair shop (their guy supposedly knows everything about them) and I found a computer behind the glove box where I was told to look, and it's not the right one. I pulled the entire car dash out, and can't seem to find the right one. I can't even figure out how to bypass it because I can't find it!!!

HELP!!!
