Hello from beautiful BC
Hello, I picked up a 1970 supreme a little bit ago and am trying to use it as a daily as much as possible. It has a 350 and 3 speed automatic. It is a pretty clean car and needs a few tweaks to give me what I'm wanting as far as performance goes. Here's a pic, thanks for having me.

Welcome aboard! My first car was a 1970 Supreme. I drove it through school and my first real job.
My 70 had the standard 2.56 rearend and at one point I swapped in a 3.08 rearend and it felt like the engine had more power. Then I swapped in a 3.55 rearend and again it felt like the engine had more power. So my recommendation is lower gears. That’s the best performance mod you can do.

Around town they were great. I got the same MPG as the 2.56 rear but the trans shifted through the gears and into third quicker. It had more power at part throttle / low speeds and the downshift to 2nd felt a lot better than the 2.56s.

Luckily the island doesn't see a lot of snow in the winter. A fair amount of rain but we have a few other vehicles that are able to be driven if conditions are not okay for the cutlass. It's more of a daily fun car to run errands in and drive the kids to activities etc.
