BAM! and there it is. LOL. OK I have another one question, that I seen asked a few times but I'll give it the ole college try.





My neighbor has an Olds with a factory 307 in it (it is also a mid 1980s car ) When at speed she drove smooth, however during the test drive i noticed when I had to slow down on the freeway because someone made and abrupt lane change in front of me, it took forever to get back up to speed. There was no kick down action when I hit the gas and it seemed to bog if I gave her too much gas when I was going 55 to 60 mph.





My neighbor has meticulously maintained this car so I find it hard to believe that there is something egregious going on with the motor. What do you all think is happening with the motor?

olds 307 and 403

Is it a 3 spd or a overdrive trans car? First thing I would look at is TV cable adjustment. It sounds like the lockup torque converter solenoid could be sticking on or it just locks up and bogs the car down. The 3 spd cars came with terrible 2.14 gears and 150 hp on 84 and older, 140 hp on the 85 and up swirl port motors. Usually if it is stuck on, it will lug the motor at all speeds and maybe even stall it at idle.
