Will This Abandoned 1970 Cutlass Run and Drive After 15 Years?!

[@Bobthebuilder.69]

This takes me back to my day. I lost my virginity in the back of a 70 cutlass 442. Good times...also tripped on acid, smoked alot of dope (weed was dope in my day) a bunch of times in the same car. This entire build just makes me smile 😁

[@RobSodrstrm]

Hey Tony, 200-4rs are the same length and output shaft as a th350, it’s damn near a direct swap except for the crossmember, lockup wiring plug, and maybe the cooler lines (think you have to bend them a little). If you can find a factory driveshaft for that Olds, then you can install that. Also, don’t forget that the 200 has a TV cable like on a 700r4

[@mcqueenfanman]

Hot Rod had an article back in 2000 on how to do it, they even reused the same driveshaft.

This is the raddest channel I currently follow. It's so refreshing to just see a bunch of friends hanging out in a shop working on cool old cars. Also, my dad has a 69 Cutlass with the stock 2 barrel 350, and it's surprisingly non-sluggish for what it is. I'd like to see this one warmed up a bit before it gets replaced, for purely selfish reasons.

That 350b will do fine. Throw some Edelbrock heads on it if you want to drop some weight and get a bit more power out of it. BTW I would put a higher amp alternator in it to run those fans. It's way more expensive to get those heads to work than buying aluminum heads. Glad Oldsmobile is finally getting some airplay. 1970 is about the most awesome Cutlass ever made.

[@StayTunedTA]

You know, that might be the move. I bet heads and a cam would wake that thing up. This is a reworked internally regulated alternator so I'm hoping it makes some juice, but that's a good call.

[@hydroy1]

@@StayTunedTA Best cam for a 350 Rocket motor, Olds W-31 cam on a straight up 110 center line ( 472 lift with a 295 Dur) BUT you got to run a 3,500 or taller stall converter. ( I used a 4,500 in my Cutless and it was the bomb with 355 rear gears.) At the drag strip, my Cutless with nothing but a W-31 cam on a 110 center line (for automatic trans) and 4,500 stall and 355 rear went 13.50 at 100mph in the 1/4 mile with street tires. I was SHOCKED ! A week later I drove that car 1,700 miles to TEXAS and back with zero problems. P/S you don't have to buy new heads, just send yours out and get them decked about .100 and slot the intake bolt holes to match. You can bring it up to almost 10:00 to1 even with the dished pistons if you use a .018 thick shim head gasket.

[@irieman442]

@@hydroy1 I'm not trying to kill anybodys thunder but.. the comp cams XE 268H-10 Olds cam is a 110 cam. It's a 485/ 490 cam. Oldsmobile would have loved to make this cam in 1970 for the 350 Olds. The original Rallye 350 cam had ,474 lift. Plus they had to pull the primary jets out of the carb to get it to run. There is a huge debate among Olds guys about these carburetors. It's an early or late 69 build issue. The Rallye 350 was built to kill the muscle car insurance in 1970. It didn't sell well.. I would kill to have an original. Today you can build a much better 350 Olds engine. DM or Call me.. As my machinist told me.. you got idiot money if you want an Olds motor over as LS.

I have found that when uploading longer videos it takes a few hours for KZbin to rerender the video. Right after you have posted a new video take a look at the quality settings, you will find that only lower quality playback settings are available until the rerender is complete. Scheduling your video to be made public for the next day is usually works best.

[@StayTunedTA]

Thanks for the tip! We are gonna give it a few hours to make sure we don't get jammed up again.

Yeah, I've seen this happen multiple times now with a channel that I watch pre-release content and until the rendering is done it limits the playback quality. We've seen audio mesh and other issues also if released before the HD is done processing.

[@danhoyland142]

Tony, back again with another comment bc I’m just finishing up. I had a olds 403 in my trans am and these olds motors sometimes from the factory has 18 degrees initial timing. I messed with my engine a lot and from what I remember, earlier olds motors factory setting was 12 degrees where as later years ( 77 and on, something like that had 18 degrees). If you do have a later 350 you should be running more timing. It turned over hard at 15 degrees so maybe you actually have a earlier olds casting. Also the code for what engine you got should be stamped right on the engine block in front or behind the oil tube. Run the numbers to tell what year you got and make your changes and engine upgrades from there.

Don't want to come across as sounding negative, but it just really sucks having the volume cranked all the way up and still can't make out what y'all are saying. I subscribe to a lot of 1 man garage car channels on KZbin (WatchJRGo, Hoovie, Finnegan, Car Wizard, to name but a few), and yours is literally the only one that I've noticed which has this issue on a regular basis. Really looking forward to seeing what you've got planned for the Cutlass (& hopefully hearing it as well! :) ) Thanks for listening.

[@cjwood2407]

If thats a 200-4r the original TH350 driveshaft is the same length, the mount on the transmission is farther back in about the same spot as a th400 so just move the crossmember back to the th400 holes on the frame. (May want to put a nut on that mount too Haha) Also make sure you connect and properly adjust the TV cable or you will cook that transmission quickly. Its not a kickdown like a th350. Wiring up the lock up converter will also help it live. Then do the Buick GN upgrades to the trans as well if you like how it drives. :) Loving your content on here, gonna miss seeing you with Lucky on HRG though.

The Olds 350 is arguably the best factory 350 GM engine, it has the largest factory bore at least (4.057"), the W31 made 325hp, I suppose the 1969 Pontiac 350 H.O. was rated 330hp but it's 354ci and the 1970 LT-1 350 was rated 360hp(Z/28) and 370hp (Corvette). The best Buick 350 was 310hp, is usually considered the worst, had the longest stroke 3.85", is the lightest, is considered very strong by many and does well with boost.

If it hasn't already been said, not all 200-4rs are the same. They have different valve bodies for the different cars with matching governors, Turbo Buicks are the best, then the Monte Carlo SS, all the rest are set up to shift low rpms. There's a tag on the side of the trans near the rear passenger side. It will have a code and you can id the trans that way. Internals are all the same otherwise. Make sure you have a throttle valve cable and it is adjusted correctly or that trans will burn up quick. Good luck.

Hi Tony, Oldsmobile for the most part in those years controlled the compression ratio by the dish in the pistons moreso than the combustion chamber chamber size. Also if those valve covers are non baffled like alot of old aftermarket olds valvecovers are, you can get a set from Bernard Mondello that are baffled properly and at a good price stamped... NOT MONDELLO RACING.. Bernard is Joe's son and does a really nice job..

Ha, I was just reading about the Bernard/New Mondello racing saga last night! Thanks for the info

@38:40 I had to laugh. Us older guys still have one of those wonky distributor wrenches to get in there and do that thing. I still have a timing light in the garage too. Haven't used in in 20 years though.

A shorty box end 9/16 is all you need for Olds V8s!

Dig this channel. Tony, please do something about the sound volume. Get some mic's or something. I have my volume cranked all the way up and can barely hear you. Nice car btw.

[@StayTunedTA]

Working on it!! Yeah we had some issues with our mics this time around and had to salvage some of the audio. Won't happen again! Thanks for watching.
