1969 post coupe
Thanks Pat, O.K. here goes.Got a 69 red on red post coupe in Dec./08. 400 4-BBL 4-spd. with factory air,buckets,original interior [except carpets] in great shape.Had to fix the original tic toc tach...now working but with a quartz radio replacement from Intricate Instruments.Had to fix the horn spring assembly...sure has a wussy bleat though!Was missing the washer pump...put in a basic G.M. one from a wreck.Drivers side floor pan had some holes.Just got it replaced...looks great[pics will follow]. Spent Saturday pulling all the seat belts[rear ones had never seen light!] Cleaned them as per this sites suggestions.Pulled rear glass[butyl had spread] ...cleaned it and the interior trim with mineral spirits and a ton of rags and elbow grease!Using this site's search feature has already helped a lot with suggestions...next is dying/painting that trim.

Anyone have suggetions about possible tranny replacements? Traced back the car to 2nd last owner who had replaced trans with a Borg Warner T=10. We're going to pull it to reseal but if it has any "issues" what do you guys recommend? Haven't had it out for a good run as we're even today,getting hammered by a blizzard!! Not totally into originality, as it will be a non-winter driver,it's not going to be sold and it'll get handed down to my son...who really doesn't get or deserve the whole Olds thing anyway!

The only problem with staying in the nebie forum too long is Q&A's aren't in the propper sections.
You'll be able to navigate soon.
