Newbie in Central FL

Hello all,

I have owned a 70 Cutlass for about 15 years. I did a performance build on the 350/TH350 about 10 years ago. Since then, it probably only has 5000-6000 miles on it. I just pulled it out of the shop where it's been moth-balled for the past few years.

I never really got the car dialed in after the build, so that is my focus now. Hoping to learn from others here on this site... what works, what doesn't, what I should expect from the car.. etc.

Would also like to find some Olds folks in the area. Hopefully be able to attend some BOP shows or events.

Giff

Welcome!

Since you're in Ocala, go ask Big Daddy.

Of course then it would run like a Plymouth.

Glad you're here.

I drive by his Museum of Drag Racing about once a week but have yet to go in... Shameful... I know!

What are the details of your build? Most important is to have components that will work well togather.

I debated where to put this... Didn't think it belonged in the Newbie Intro section but maybe I should have.

Opinions welcome!
