I don't know if a 2bbl more door vehicle qualifies as a "muscle car" but what do I know 🤷‍♂️

[@MortskeRepair]

sounds like a good opportunity for discussion

[@haydave420]

Everything from 65 to 72 70 being the best year had balls !! Grandmas car would blow the tires off and put you back in the seat, so just think what a cutlass 442 was like.

[@busterturner8702]

Theres another one them haters

[@Darrin_Wyatt]

It's 2023. If it wants to identify as a muscle car, we just have to go along with it.

[@renchjeep]

I think the actual "definition" of "muscle car" is something like this: a factory produced car with upgraded engine, transmission, brakes, gearing, exhaust, tires etc.....or any combination of those items upgraded at the factory production level. So, my 67 Chevelle Malibu Sport Coupe isn't really considered a "muscle car", as it came with a 283, powerglide, 14 inch tires, single exhaust, and manual drum brakes. The very next step up from my 67 is an SS396, which IS considered a real "muscle car". Anyway, WAY cool more-door Cutlass, Mortske! Nice save! Nothing wrong with a crew-cab. I have a buddy who races his 4-door 67 Malibu in HPDE, ya know, the cone courses they set up in big parking lots. Yeah, he's part of a real sanctioned group. He rescued his crew cab 67 Malibu from a wrecking yard, made it into a 1/4 mile car, now has transformed it into a real street racer, with serious suspension and brake mods, body stretching to accommodate huge rubber, and a built 454 with a 4-speed and Gear Vendors overdrive. It's a really neat setup!

In high school a friend of mine was given his grandmother's cutless just like that one. It still had the dealer plastic on the seats. Maybe 25,000 miles. He put a cam and 4 barrel carb on it and a had a set of dual thrush exhaust pipes. We went from teasing him to wtf? That car would move out like no bodies business. He raced everyone. That was the coolest 4 door in town.

Olds definitely made a 400 cid engine. It was the mainstay in the Cutlass 4-4-2 from 1965-1969. It used a tall deck block like the 425 and 455 engines.

Kinda have to agree on the 2-bbl 350 - my 1976 Pontiac Catalina coupe did just fine as a summer job commuter in 1984, and was such a boat that i couldn't pretend it had performance - it kept me out of trouble. Well, in less trouble anyway,

[@davidolson9475]

Nice!! We used to use a driver's license and place it between the intake and exhaust valves to tell if a head was a 1.94 or 2.02 intake. Pretty sure that buzz you unhooked was the 'your key is still in the ignition' buzzer. Sometimes, when we go to car shows, we play the American Racing Wheel drinking game, where we have to take a drink of beverage every time we see a car that the owner has installed those rims to show their individuality. We stopped playing when my buddy Jon almost got alcohol poisoning one time.

[@MortskeRepair]

I'll start playing it with Cragars!

[@hansnordstrom2373]

Yeah, express your independence and individuality and rebel spirit by dressing in all black, growing your hair and beard, getting tatts, and riding a Harley. Or put Torq-Thrust II's on your hot rod.

[@jojomorgan8556]

I agree with you about changing the filter ... In my experience with used transmissions NEVER open a transmission unless it doesn't work and you are prepared to rebuild it if/when changing the fluid & filter doesn't fix it... if the filter is clogged enough to need changing, the clutches are usually too far gone to half-@$$ it. if it moves leave it alone, if it doesn't then a new filter isn't going to miraculously replace the clutch material that clogged the old filter up.

Of course Oldsmobile made a 400! It was in the 1965 through 69 442. In 1964 unfortunately, they still used the 3:30 four barrel four speed and dual exhaust came to mean 4-barrel 400 cubic inch and dual exhaust

I paid $1250.00. 60,000 miles on odometer. Clean inside and out. Has one whiskey dent in the front right fender. One owner car the old man that owned said puter in the ditch one night coming from the tavern. 😅Olympia Washington. Two years later I got stationed overseas and couldn’t ship it to Germany at time. Sold it for $900.00 to a soldier buddy. I still kick myself in head for selling it. Young and dumb. I work on that all the time. Not that it needed it, I just loved working on that car!

I agree, when my kids were small I sold my 76 Camaro and bought a 72 Dodge Dart 4 door so my wife and kids could go to Cruise-ins and Cars and Coffees with me plus we had a car that could just be a weekend fun car when the car club didn't have anything going on. The Dart was in REALLY good shape when I bought it, it only had 27,000, I bought it from a mechanic I knew who had bought it new for his wife and then less than a year later she and his sister was killed by a drunk driver, not in the Dart, in the sisters car and after he put the car in the back of the shop and covered it up until I bought it 30 years later. Yeah it took a lil bit to get running but he had done alot it before I bought it, the interior still looked brand new and it once it was taken out and blown out it ran like a top. I didn't do much to it, put all new gaskets on the motor, had it professionally detailed, lowered it, pulled the stock hub caps off and repainted the wheels and put some baby moons on it and took out the AM Radio and put in a AM FM radio in it. We had a ton of fun in that car and believe it or not it got ALOT of attention.

Loving the perspective here. You don't need the 1 of 10 you can't afford in 20 lifetimes, but the $800 beater found in a field that runs and has some extra doors will give you memories that can't be beaten by some show queen. Put some unwanted and too many doors hunk of junk on the road (safely fixing the stuff that needs fixed) and you'll get more joy out of it than something where you have to worry about things like dings, dents, scratches, breakdowns, road damage, dirty shoes on the carpet and all of that. They were made to be driven into the ground, so it if it has some time left, keep it going until there's nothing left. That was their purpose. Drive it until it's nothing but a pile of rust and dirt and look back on it with some great memories.

The seatbelt buzzer had me laughing so hard I was crying! Ordered my Mortske swag and looking forward to wearing it at work…

[@MortskeRepair]

Much appreciated for your purchase

Hey Mortske!! Back in the day, pinning the rocker arm studs was a common practice for the low buck hot rodders

[@MortskeRepair]

learn something new every day!

I always like watching the long videos in the evening after work

[@apatriotstouch]

We all know, you have the best luck with starters. Lol that buzzer.

[@spicedude6230]

Those rocker arm nuts are called poly locks. usually for solid lifter cams. set the rockers with a feeler gauge and turn the hex to jamb them tight into place so they dont back off.. old school hot rod stuff

[@MortskeRepair]

Cool

I have a soft spot in my heart for an old cutlass. That driveshaft was made right down the road from my house at American Axle in Three Rivers, Michigan. 👍

I love the more doors! I often need to have three or four in the car. Plus they aren't sought after so they are cheaper. Still a muscle car!

[@lukewagner002]

Omg that seat belt buzzer had me rolling.

[@lukewagner002]

@The_Mortske_Repair did I win a free scam? Can’t believe it!

[@mi30modela-ok60]

Catching up on some Mortske vids I’ve missed recently. It’s a good Labor Day weekend. Hope you can take tomorrow off without losing the shop!

[@MortskeRepair]

All good

That gravel pile jump reminded me of riding into town with my cousin in the 77 Delta 88! 😂 I saw that car when it was new-ish then just a few years later...it looked like a stolen, abandoned hunk of an Oldsmobile. 😬

[@bobgrewe988]

Back in the day just pull the buzzer out from the fuse panel. Always worked.

I had a 76 cutlass… was the best car I ever had. I drove it all the way north from all the way south. (Ocean Springs MS to Grand Rapids Michigan).
