Nawww a lock from ricerzone. It says it is model specific.

+1. Those photos makes me almost want to buy an old Oldsmobile.

If only Oldsmobile had taken such photos themselves and printed them into booklets which you could pick up at their dealerships.....what might have been?!!!!!!!

Oh yeah, and they should have put the name "Oldsmobile" somewhere on their Aurora model, so when people said "Wow, that's a sharp car!", they'd have known where they might go to buy one for themselves.

...and they shouldn't have named half their models "Cutlass", especially when they sometimes had no parts in common. Nobody REALLY believed that Cutlass sales had doubled. (Toyota reports sales of Corolla and Corolla Matrix as one set of figures, but they at least have some common parts, right?)

That car is in phenomenal condition based on the pictures. Honestly I'd keep it the way it is.

Pay a junkyard a visit and see if you can find an Olds 307 V8. It'll bolt right in.

Either way, sweet car, just needs a buff and it looks like it'd be practically show-room.

(How much was the shipping? $800?)

Nope shipping was only $200 total from a sketchy guy with a dually and 2 car trailer.

Hmm....was the name "Matrix" actually a surname for a Corolla before it become a separate model? I've never heard of a "Corolla Matrix" until you mentioned it.

That kinda reminds me of the old Celica Supra that preceded the Supra. Same thing can be said of the 4Runner Highlander (really just a trim level) that preceded the Highlander.

Ok, got mine figured out. Nothing was hacked or deleted. It was at the rear of the engine, passenger side, with a single fat hose going to it from the front of the carb, between the transmission modulator vacuum nipple and the A.I.R. pump pipe fitting. The elbow and hose coming from the valve cover is the other end of the system, which inhales air for the PCV system; the PCV valve is where it exhales into the carburetor. I'm not sure why a tee and smaller vacuum hose is expected to be used.

The OEM GM-published service manual I ordered came in. If you need anything from it let me know, but some stuff will differ by year and make. I didn't find the PCV valve well documented, which is amazing considering the incredible detail about everything else...but I had it figured out about an hour before the manual arrived anyway.

I highly recommend getting on eBay and ordering yours. Check out this user's store: http://stores.ebay.com/carboagez - I have never before had such a good experience with eBay. You'll need the 1983 Oldsmobile chassis manual and the separate body manual. For $25 I got the chassis manual, the advance chassis manual (not sure what that is yet, I think it came out before the big manual did), and the body manual in less than 3 days.

The guy who recommended the OEM service manual idea to me also says to get the parts catalog...that's a little more difficult to find.

Yes, I put some new speakers and head unit in , changed the fluids, it runs really well now. Only problem is the timing is a little off, it wont really "turn off" when I put the key into the off position, it starts knocking then turns off.

Mine does that, or has until recently. I bet there's some nasty carbon. I haven't Seafoamed/watered/etc mine but I've been running high octane and it shuts down better, plus the other day at high RPM the sound suddenly changed which I think was a piece of carbon blowing off.

Seafoam it! Best $10 tune up ever. At least it is when it comes to amounts of fun had and number of neighbors offended.

I have a can of Seafoam but I don't have the balls to piss off my neighbors...they already hate me enough for my loud car and messy, rarely-mowed yard. Plus I'm worried that a cop will stop me as I'm driving down the street with it smoking.
