"Leadfoot" In one of your pic's you ran the positive cable under the header tube. Did you change that or is working out OK for you?

Not really, I am the president of the Puget Sound chapter of OCA but find it hard to get people out to the local cruises, so I go by myself. I would like to get more guys/gals involved in cruising but am surprised by how many owners do not cruise with their cars they just go to car shows or the club meetings.

Not to get too far OT. Maybe we could plan a XXX mass Olds showing ?
Or somewhere ? (next summer most likely)
Be fun to meet up with other Olds guys.
BOP races sept. 25 I think. I want to go but dont trust the Cutlass that far from home yet.

leadfoot you think yours will be ready by then ?

The BOP is one I haven't been to yet myself. All things being equal I plan to be there. Need to put seatbelts in my car to race though. I would like to give the old 455 a try on the track even though its a one legger. There still having cruise ins at the taco time in Lynnwood on Friday evenings unless it rains and at the tripple X in Issaguah on Saturday evenings.

PM me if anyone wants more info on the Puget Sound Chapter of OCA

Pat
