Hello! New to CO!

Hello everyone!

I am new to the forum but have been into Oldsmobiles for over 11 years now and I am always looking for advice and suggestions. I am also willing to give the beset advice for busting you knuckles on your Olds . I am looking forward to contributing to the forum.

My ride.
1972 Cutlass Supreme (been in the family since 1972)
468 BBO
Dyno 500HP and 600 ft-lbs
1/4 on street tires 12.99

Current project: Just pulled the engine to add a windage tray and oil pan baffle. Also upgrading to a 4L80E from a TH400.

Welcome to the site! Do you drive that '72 on the street or is it strictly a track car?


(Edited out my own comment because it appears I've lost the ability to read and comprehend!)

Thank you very much. I got the car when I was 16 and it did not look like that when I got it. Only kid in my high school that had to take the bus because my car would not make it out of the driveway if we got more then a 1/4 of snow Now its my hobby car and the wife and I take it on weekend drives and I take it to the track every once and awhile.
