It's the only thing holding up completing my dash. I bought and sent back a retro-sound radio and am not impressed with Custom Auto Sound. What kind of sound quality can I expect from these original radios? I would like to have something that sounds nice. I have already installed 6 X9 infinity's in the package tray and plan on kick panel speakers. Has anyone upgraded their original radio with MP3/IPOD capability? Can I add an amp to an original radio and would the wiring be there? I'm not sure which way to go? ]]> Cutlass hinz57 http://classicoldsmobile.com/forums/cutlass/18125-original-radio-sound-quality.html Buying a clone http://classicoldsmobile.com/forums/cutlass/18076-buying-clone.html Wed, 18 Nov 2009 05:34:14 GMT hello guys, So a car that I am really considering buying happens to be a 442 clone.

It is a numbers matching Cutlass Supreme convertible equiped like mine was prior to getting totaled 350/350 with the exception of the OAI hood grills and 442 badges in the grills and fenders and the famous white side stripes. the car is really clean but sort of torn as to buying a clone. it is a 72 with new paint and interior and top. I really like the car and thinking of replacing the 442 badges with cutlass badges and adding the correct oai air cleaner. I am just looking for opinions on buying a clone or should I say a 72 Cutlass convertible with 442 appearence... the hood and stripes look good I guess it is just the badges that I do not like. Are the holes for the emblems in the grill and fenders different for 442 badges vs cutlass badges?

Having a terrible time trying to get back to stock so the alternator will work.

I have a 6" water pump and found a water pump pulley that is 3.75' with 3 guides the first 2 guides are 5.5" in diamater and the 3rd is 6.5". The 6.5" is to large to fit the crank pulley. Do they make a water pump pulley that all 3 guides are 5.5"? If yes, how do I find one?
