THANKS FOR THE INFO GUYS, I'VE SENT BRUCE AN EMAIL, I'LL LET YOU KNOW HOW IT TURNS OUT. I HAVE A 65 88 THAT HAS A 400 TURBO, SWITCH PITCH, WHICH IS A PARTS CAR. IT APPEARS THE SWITCH WOULD WORK ON THE CUTLASS. CAN'T A MANUAL SWITCH BE RIGGED TO CONTROL THE CONVERTER? NOT ONLY AM I HAVING TROUBLE WITH THE SWITCH, IT MAY BE MY FAULT, IN PART. THE ORIGINAL QJET WAS GONE. I PUT A NEW HOLLEY (BAD IDEA) ON THE CAR, NOT CONSIDERING THE WHOLE PICTURE. HAVING AN ELECTRIC CHOKE IS GREAT, BUT, THIS THROWS OFF THE GEOMETERY OF THE WHOLE SET-UP. I TRIED ADJUSTING ALL THINGS THE OTHER DAY, BUT DIDN'T ACCOMPLISH MUCH. THE SWITCH SEEMS TO SEND AN ERRATIC SIGNAL, NOW WORSE THAN EVER!!! IS IT POSSIBLE THAT NOT MOVING AS IT SHOULD SOMEHOW HURT THE SWITCH? IT HAS STOPS, IT SHOULDEN'T HYPER EXTEND. ANYONE HAVE A CARB???? THANKS, MIKE

I have a base for a California AIR equipped car, for the "Star Wars" air cleaner, great condition. Original rubber hose is still attached and in good condition. Original scripting for element information in great condition. I would like to trade for a plain one. Not for sale...... only for trade. dadphelps@yahoo.com

Thanks Glen!!! I see it, and I'll check it out, the adjustment looks simple enough. I dont see the switches listed on ebay, are they available?

I HAVE A 66 CUTLASS WITH A SWITCH PITCH, OR WHATEVER IT IS CALLED,CONVERTER. IT WORKS, BUT NOT PROPERLY. WHEN YOU PULL OUT AT AN EASY PACE, IT STARTS WITH THE CONVERTER IN "LOW", SOMETHING SHIFTS, THEN THE OTHER SHIFTS, IT SOUNDS LIKE A 3 SPEED TRANS, BUT IT IS THE ORIGINAL JETAWAY 2 SPEED. IF YOU GIVE IT A GOOD BIT OF THROTTLE WHEN THE TRANS IN IN FIRST GEAR, AND THE CONVERTER IS IN "LOW" IT IMMEDIATELY PUTS THE CONVERTER IN "HIGH", AND IT NO LONGER SEEMS LIKE A 3 SPEED TRANSMISSION, IT THEN ACTS LIKE A 2 SPEED TRANSMISSION. THIS SEEMS LIKE THE SWITCH FOR THE CONVERTER WORKS BACKWARDS!! WHAT IS MY PROBLEM? I HAVE A 1966 OLDSMOBILE CHASSIS SERVICE MANUAL, BUT I CANT FIND ANYTHING ON THE TROBLESHOTING OF THE SWITCH PITCH CONVERTER. WOULD ANYONE BE ABLE TO HELP ME? dadphelps@yahoo.com MIKE PHELPS 740-533-0240

I had a 65 GS, and if my memory is right the AC filter number is A86CW. If your sticker is still on the air cleaner housing, and this is the correct number, I can still get it from my local auto parts store. You can try that at the parts store near you, or you can email me and I would be glad to get one for you and send it to you.

I need a complete set of air conditioning compressor brackets. I will use them on my 67 GS400 convertible clone ( 430 ) engine from a 69 Electra. They don't need to be from a true 67 400, but it would be nice if they were a cast deal "similar" to the originals. I am not knowledgeable enough about this subject to know what would and would not look like it belonged. Or if I could buy a complete set of stamped steel brackets for all the accessories on the front of the engine I could make them all match at least, ( the PS, and alt bracket are now cast aluminum ). I have a short waterpump. All help is appreciated. dadphelps@yahoo.com Thanks

Does anyone have a filter element for my 67 "Starwars" air cleaner, or know of a suitable substitution? I also need a parklight lens. I suppose mine caught a rock as I drove it 2000 miles home after a recent purchase. Thanks, Mike Phelps dadphelps@yahoo.com

DOES ANYONE KNOW FIRST HAND, FOR SURE, NO DOUBT!!! OF AN AFTER MARKET REAR SWAY BAR THAT WILL FIT MY 67 SKYLARK? I BOUGHT ONE FROM ORIGINAL PARTS GROUP, AND IT HUNG DOWN 3 INCHES BELOW THE CENTER OF THE REAR END. I'M SURE ALL OF YOU KNOW A FACTORY ONE FITS SNUGLY CLOSE TO THE CENTER OF THE REAR END.---OR---I WOULD BUY A USED ORIGINAL. PLEASE EMAIL ME DIRECTLY. dadphelps@yahoo.com THANKS TO ALL. MIKE PHELPS

And the price and location would be????????????

Are these transmissions reliable? I have heard that 63 Skylark auto transmissions are not a good unit at all. Being same year and body size GM cars make me wonder if they share these transmission problems. If so, are there any suggestions about to overcome, swap out, or in some way get rid of the problematic transmission? dadphelps@yahoo.com

I have a set of brackets coming, THANKS TO ALL!!!

I NEED A SET OF ALTERNATOR BRACKETS FOR A 66 CUTLASS, 330 MOTOR, NON AIR CONDITION CAR. WOULD BUY ANY ONE OF THE SET IF ANYONE HAS ANYTHING TO LET GO. THANKS dadphelps@yahoo.com

I really need a right quarter panel for a 63 Skylark. My car is a convertible, but I would take a quarter from a 2 door hardtop. Please help. Does anyone know of anyone who might be able to help? dadphelps@yahoo.com , Mike Phelps 740-533-0240. Thanks

SSSSttttiiilllll need a panel !!!!!

Still need a panel

PLEASE HELP !!! Mine is destroyed. A nice one would be great, and very desireable. But I would be interested in hearing from anyone who has one they would sell me. dadphelps@yahoo.com

I bought springs for my 65 GS convertible from ESPO Springs and Things in Pennsylvania, and was very happy with their products and service. Just use your search engine to find them on the net. On their site you will also find their tool free phone number Mike

I previously posted looking for a 65 pulley. And Joe Oiler sent one to me from Tenessee. Thanks Joe. Well I made a mistake. I dont need a 65 pulley. I need a 66 pulley. I need a waterpump pulley, 3 groove, for airconditioned 66 Delta 88. The engine is a 425ci. The part number on the pulley should be 391114JH. I went to a local yard and got a bent one from a 66 Delta hit in the front, but it is so bad it is not usable. That is the number that was on that pulley. Please help if you can. It is frustrating to need a small part that is so elusive, but essential. Thanks Mike Phelps, dadphelps@yahoo.com

I have my pulley. Thanks to Joe Oiler in the great State of Tennessee !!! Thanks to all who replied and helped.

My 66 Cutlass had an add on air conditioner at some point. It was long gone when I bought it. And in that add on process they changed the bracket for the alternator, to an aftermarket bracket. I would like to have a set of original brackets for my car, I think those would look muck better. dadphelps@yahoo.com

I need a waterpump pulley for a 65 425 motor. It is in my Delta. My pully was lost when working on the engine, a little freshing up. It would be a 3 groove pully. Thanks Mike Phelps
