Some BUGS...

No... not the creepy crawlies (thankx 2blu).

1) Why are there two weld tabs on one side of the rear axle for the brake line, and only one the other side?

2) Why are there four threaded holes in the PS gearbox and only three used to mount to the frame, leaving a gap between the fourth hole and frame?

Why does the Pope have....never mind.

For answers to these and other perplexing questions, tune in tomorrow for another exiting chapter of Classic Oldsmobile.

Sorry, Oldzy, don't know.

It's not. It's opened from 7:00 a.m to 11.m.

The only place I can recall that is always opened is Waffle House. They have locks on the doors to lock themselves [and patrons] inside should trouble arise outside.

And to get us back on track...

The Saginaw box is used on a multitude of GM cars and mounts differently in different frames.

Sorry joe.you are right. Let's get back to the question. Saginaw gearboxes. Can fit almost any gm car or truck. I put a vega gearbox on my 88 cutlass prostreeter. But it couldn't handle the job. So i put on and rack/pinion setup. I guess with my wife fighting cancer i've got a little bit crazy. I need some support from somebody.

There is an answer for the pair of panties. Can't post it here.

Why are there extra holes drilled for the upper control arms in 442's only, when you can not actually bolt them in there?

How do you know when you run out of invisible ink?

Jim, the three extra holes are lightening for racing.
