Not even close !!! 442 is beautiful but slower than molasses in January!!😂😂

useless video 💀

It’s totally normal for Ls. Normal operating temp is 210 degrees they don’t really boil over till about 250*

You should have got the entire t-top weatherstrip kit. Ive also seen, there is an actual factory t-top seal kit, and an aftermarket one.

Is it sold?

I watched this again, one thing I forgot to say, is yes, the parts are getting worse and worse, and most are made in China, and the Chinese ones seem to have poor quality, and the competition that used to be there among parts makers has disappeared, so their is little incentive to outdo a competitor, and -- parts are disappearing. IMO letting lawyers run this country has ruined it. AT Least your reverse bleeder is available now for the left side

It works great, but take this from experience it blocks things you dont want blocked. Spray on bushings works great.

Guy had 65. And every sat he pulled out to street and washed it. This in 73. And by then it was classic blue with white INTERIOR

All that favor the Gn never had a cutlass 😅🙃😭

What a cool car

Sounds healthy Beautiful GTO

I love both because I have two 1966 Olds 442's. and a 1965 Olds 442. I used to own a 1986 cutlass, 1974 and 1976 442 with a 455 engine. On the Buick, I have a 1994 Grand Sport 2 drs and three 1987 buick Grand nationals, all three low mileage so you see I'm a big fan of Buicks and Olds 4-4-2's. Thanks for the film, I thought it was great.

I'd like to know about the fan as well. Last owner of mine wired it to stay on.

F.Y.I. Costco sells a great car seat cushion! Cheers!

Is this a travelogue or problem solver. What rubbish. People are looking for quick fixes. I want my time back.

The GN by far

dude just puts the mf right in, im over here struggling, cant even put the factory one back in wth

Your definitely not alone. Quality control, and the quality of parts made today is no where near the quality of parts made years ago.

You are not alone! Imagine having to do the fuel pump twice ..I have a 1985 Camaro, so you know! My Tahoe has the same problem with calipers. I had the same stripped bleeder screw hole on a new caliper on my Bravada.

I have put 2 power steering pumps, 2 alternators and 2 air conditioning compressors on my 1990 silverado this summer. Factory parts lasted 34 years and replaceme t parts don't last a month. And I buy new units not rebuilt. Where is the quality control? And parts dealers are content to give you replacement but my time, energy, and missed car shows is aggravating! I feel for you! I guess I drive my new car and sell the old one. No fun anymore.

Whenever I have a stubborn bleeder sucking in air, I apply synthetic grease around the bleeder threads. If the bleeder is opened too much then it will show many bubbles in the clear line. Today’s China made parts are disgustingly useless.

How did you do the fuel system

Ahhh man, I can feel the torque watching that beauty. Love it!

About to do this same project on the same exact radio. Thanks for doing the leg work and posting the parts list. It helps a ton!

Same experience . Looks great for a while and then starts fading and cracking

the fuel evaporates! put a little fuel in a cover or small jar leave it out side and check it in 6 or 8 hours it will be gone or gone overnight it evaporates with the alcohol in it i tried a check valve in the fuel line no difference it evaporates!

Sweet Nova 👍❤️

Awesome..Sound and a Amazing Vette😅…With Real Power🎉

Perhaps you are right when you indicated the effectiveness of 205 additive was not fully compatible with your other additive you already had in the engine. This is what I am also wondering with my 1974 Toyota. My Toyota have minute oil pan gasket leak. I am using 20-50W engine oil with Lucas heavy duty oil stabilizer which keeps my engine noise quiet and other benefits. If I use this 205, it might not work with Lucas, which I might end up like your case. Yes, to do the job right to stop leak, the source of leak, in which my case, is to take off the oil pan, which is also quite difficult to remove it, completely and install new gasket. And as you said, taking my vintage Toyota to some crocked mechanic there is no guarantee that they will do the job correctly and end up spending thousands of dollars which will only frustrates me at the end. If I had a hoist, I can possibly do it myself. I really think if I add the 205 I will not get the full benefit with mixing with Lucas and oil. There is no one on youtube talks about mixing with Lucas and the result. Maybe too much additive added to the engine might not be a good idea as well.

My '82 Firebird has been a nightmare for sealing.. problem is I live in a country with huge amounts of rain.. the seals hold for about 5 minutes before water starts pouring in

I love those GM midsize coupes very sporty very comfortable very Special I like all of them but I lean toward Grand Prix Cutlass Monte Carlo Regal in that order of course I am V8 all the way I know the Regal is SuperCharged but I don’t care for the V6 that why the Regal is last on my list

Thank you for the clarification on fan switch. Nice paint bro

Nice paint now. I guess they cleared the whole car. Looks great.

LOL "Typical Nowhere fast garage way of doing things" - You're not alone! You have better success rate than I do. I've been really dissappointed lately

I would like to know how to fix the "tuning" dial. My radio isn't picking up radio stations well, and keeps sqeaking as I try to tune it in.

Hi From France ! do you have a number for the side pipe parts ?( hooker side pipe + vette's pack insert ) i want abolutely an vette's pack insert but its hard to find the exactly same , or if you have the instagramm or facebook from this person would be with pleasure! , i am restoring my 75' survivor , thanks you ! And USA-1 !

Had an '86 6 cyl "Gutless Cutlass". Seafoam green, Brougham model with the velour bench seat in front. God I loved that car. I wish I still had it. It was so easy to drive. Smooth and floated down the road. Great visibility. It just felt so open inside; not cramped like modern cars.Totally comfortable and luxurious feeling. If I still had it, I'd just do an LS swap and tighten up the suspension a bit. Great car.

I recently had the same issue...same deal ccleaned the battery cable and it started right up

Wonderful sleeper! Hope your ‘67 Skylark found a good home. That was a nice Buick! Would have liked to own it myself.

I loved my '86 Cutlass Salon I bought used in '87 to replace my '78 Turbo Regal, after the turbo went out for the second time. It was metallic maroon with white pinstripes and T-tops and had the exact same interior as your 442. The only thing I changed was adding a K&N air filter, aluminized dual exhaust, and replaced the wire wheel covers/wheels and whitewall tires with American Racing chrome nugget wheels and Goodyear Eagle ST tires. I would have taken a 442 over the Salon, had I found one. I really wanted a Grand National, but the insurance was killer for a college student. Then the GNX came out...they had one at the Buick dealership in the little town of Greencastle, IN, where I was in school, at DePauw University and became completely obsessed. If I had been a little older, with a job and money, I'd probably still have it today, although I'd miss the T-tops my Cutlass had. I still have pictures of it, though! Of these two, I'd take the GN, since neither have T-tops. I do agree the gauges were way cooler on the Cutlass and never understood why the baddest of the G Body cars had the same granny gauge cluster as every other Buick, with the exception of the turbo boost gauge. The GNX had the best gauge cluster, though, for sure!

To me the GN for the win. Damn those Cardinals are loud in your neighborhood 😅

I truly appreciate your 3rd Gen content! You are the only one who actually "teaches!" I learn something that can help me with my 85 everytime I watch!

Man - Tell me about it - IT'S ALWAYS SOMETHING WITH THE CAMARO! Mine is definitely the "problem child" of my fleet, but I love it!

I had the same problem with my temp gauge so I glued a very small plastic peg just past the red zone to keep the needle from going too far. worked great. And thanks for this video. I am doing this as well.

any solution? my 67 just encountered this issue today

i picked up a 73 ss nova with a bad engine for 50 bucks it had the gauges on the floor factory paint body in good condition so i put in a 396 out of a 68 pu or known as the 402 i got the truck for 85 bucks sold the rest of it for 500 and the 400 tubo for 150 bucks then i got a pro built 400 turbo for 200 bucks from a shop that had 3800 in the trans but his kid sold me the trans for the 200 with all the paper work on it come to find out his dad had the trans sold for 6000 for drag racing mite say he was pissed but not at me . but i sold it cheap because at the time had way to many hot rods

Looks really close to the one I just got lol.

Tony, the ECM controls the fan-on and fan-off temperature. You have to burn the settings onto the 64 pin ecm removable bios chip, which I have done and it works great ! I used TunerPro software and a cheap bios chip burner to copy the settings down, interpret them, reset them and re-burn the chip with new fan on and fan off temp. All the in-block sender does is send the temp to the ECM, and then the ECM decides when the fan comes on or off. Unfortunately, those ecms were programmed from the factory to run at 220, so when the ecm metals degrade a bit the fan/on fan/off starts to very a few degrees. The answer is to force it to run at a little bit lower than 220 (like all cars did previously, and today they do) and you are good forever. I set my fan on to like 188 or 190 instead of 200+ and now my car runs at a cool 190 degrees all the time! Good for the engine too to run cooler. Good for your next year power tour -- sitting in traffic too ! Never mind, maybe 1984 did not use ecm. Not sure. mine is 1992.

Ive posted multiple comments here, I guess the U too gods have decided that me and you cannot talk anymore! You should add your email address to your profile so I can email you.
