Hello fellow oldsmobilers

Have been a member of ROP since about 2002. Haven't been avoiding this forum but just another login/password to remember... I have 4 just for work.
The new tapatlk with the camaro background did it for me, also not a lot of olds stuff anymore. Mainly political banter. It's a shame because I've met a lot of great people there and done business too. All positive. Anyhoo..
Currently have 2 69 442's, 1 convertible and 1 post.
I play with the red post at the track a little, best is 11.95 @ 112 and a 1.65 60' I would love to get it closer to the mid 11's
combo:
stock trim including bench seat
461,
800 q jet
air gap intake
hei, bronze gear- 34-36 degree total all in early- moroso curve kit
10.2;1 compression old trw pistons
CN crank
236/242 580" btr
camshaft camshaft
3200 ish converter, th400
3.73 rear gear in a chev 12 bolt
weld draglites 15x8 m/t e/t's 28 10.5,
heads are speedmaster with some minor work/cleaning and hardware installed by mike stark. Minor work hence the unimpressive flow numbers.

The 69 convertible I got off of the original owner 2 years ago, I have been asking for about 15yrs and also have known it in my town for over 25 years. Very bone stock

Hey Chuck

I also have been a member of ROP for a long time. I rarely post there anymore and as you said it's a pitiful site. Is your car the one you chased for a long time before finally getting it? Welcome to CO,we're not all perfect.LOL

Yes,that's the one. I gave up on him and then he called after I bought the red one. I promised him, I would get buried in it.

Welcome, Chuck. Those are beautiful cars.

I, too, was on ROP from long ago but gave up after the multiple crashes.
