I have a 1972 Cutlass Supreme convertible that has the original cruise control installed in it. I need either an [ NOS ] or GOOD USED--- Vacuum Servo--- for the cruise control on my 350 engine. Does anyone have any info about suppliers or a source for reliable used parts at a reasonable price?? I have tried my local JUNK YARDS--and nothing is left.

WANTED; Vacuum servo for a 1972 Olds Cutlass Supreme. Must hold vacuum if used item--or source of supplier for new items if available. Have tried junk yards locally and all are no good or have been stripped earlier. thanks in advance for any help. Pitman

Anyone with a tranny for a 29 for sale,please reply to this--and I will E-Mail you for more info. Thanks, Pitman

OK---- Fuel and Electric (except plug wires) has been changed. I now have even replaced the points and cond. with a PERTRONIX ignition system. The engine cranks normally--that is it turns over like it should sounds like it should start but does not. From a cold start it starts right up. When warm or HOT it cranks but fails to start---like it needs fuel or timing is off!!!! I am not a mechanic and do not pretend to be one. I only know what I read and encounter in my service manuals. Do you think possibly I should experiment with the timimg???? or just keep trying to learn the proper start combination with this engine?? It obviously has a mind of it's own. The engine runs great once started--it just does not like to start when hot. Inconvient and embarrasing when I return from a short trip in the store shopping--a few onlookers hoping to hear the vehicle which really looks great--and it just cranks forever before it will start!!!! If this is not enough info to help diagnose my problem I need specific questions to answer--I do not know what else to offer. Again thanks--Sorry to be of such trouble--I was hoping a simple yes or no to my question would have either told me to try changes--or it was probably a waste of time and maybe start looking elsewhere for a soultion.

I have a 1972 Cutlass Supreme Convertible with a 350 2 bbl that is giving me a few problems. I have replaced everything and have reset the timimg to 8BTD as required--but it still does not start up like it should. The starter cranks over fine--but requires several turns to start.(crank-crank-crank-crank-) My question is this: Could the engine need to be timed with the setting a little retarded instead of "right on"? I have read that when the timing is to advanced initially,that the engine will run poorly. I've changed everthing from fuel pump-to filters-to fuel lines-to points,condensor,dist cap- plugs-everything except the plug wires and it still starts hard. any offerings will be very much appreciated.Thanks in advance Pitman

I saw a listing for a 39 Caddy for sale,but have no idea what the style was in 1939. Before I call on it I would like to look at a picture of a 39 series 75 vehicle to see if it is anything I would even consider. If any one can post a photo I would appreciate it. Unfortunately it doe not list the model--but assume it may be a 4 dr sedan possibly. Thanks in advance for any help.

My vehicle has a 350 -2 bbl-with AC. Is there any way to change spark plugs on this engine without pulling the AC compressor and brackets?
