Back in the "442 Game" after 20+ year hiatus

It's been faaaar too long, but I finally pulled the trigger on what appears to be a pretty solid/original 1970 442. Looking forward to going through all the paperwork and learning about the history of this car, and reconnecting with the Olds enthusiasts on this forum. I bought this vehicle sight unseen and thus far I've learned it's looks great and runs like crap. Time to dust off some cobwebs and remember how to tune a Rochester 4bbl. I am sure i will have some dumb questions in the near future!

Thanks for the compliments and the welcome! Unfortunately, I will not be able to attend Back To The 50's this year ... it is one heck of a show!

Yes, I purchased the car from the Roanoke, VA area. Please PM me if you have any history regarding the car. I have a ton of receipts that came with the car, but not much for verbal history. I am attempting to contact some of the prior owners, but no luck to this point.
