Hello

Brand new to this site. I currently own A 1973 Oldsmobile Omega Hatchback that I am planning on keeping as close to original as possible with only A handful of upgrades. Its A daily driver and gets lots of attention. Will be cool to talk with some fellow Olds lovers.

Its the original duals set up with replacement mufflers (Flow masters) The car originally came with 350 3 speed auto 4bbl Q-jet and duals. Its an A/C car as well.

still has all original equipment but the qjet isnt on the car but has A Holley sitting in its place. (still have the original Qjet which I want back on the car)

It has also been upgraded to HEI.

TY for the compliment bro

TY bro. Just gonna keep trying to keep its original overall look but with A few small upgrades. Its A daily driver that is currently having the entire cooling system replaced, I tore it down because the guy who had it before me decided to use regular water as coolant and had it looking like sludgy pond water. Even after two flushes the coolant kept coming back rusty looking. Decided to just park it and replace everything from water pump out. Block has been properly flushed , Water pump , neck, hoses, thermo, fan clutch and radiator will all be new. Just got hung up in the middle as money got short as I was doing it lol.

It should be back up and running by Mid Dec, Then back to being my daily driver lol.... plans? Just to keep it, drive it and pass it down one day.
Got A one year old grandson thats gonna look cool as heck when he pulls up to pick up his prom date in it one day.
