62 Cutlass Convert

Sent a message to the Contact at top of page. Who does that go to?

Isn’t there a way to contact him through the website? Usually there’s a way to report problems by members of a forum.

Neither 62 cutlass conver has the collar with rubber. The 62 Jetfire has the collar with rubber.

Very good article on gauges and probes in MAD Electrical. Go to MAD Electrical site, “Work Shop “ Tips tab to the right on top and see “Water temp gauge accuracy”. This is a great resource for electrical stuff.

I had two probes for my elec gauge, Stewart Warner, one in car and one new in box in on shelf. I plugged the new one into the factory…[Read more]

Any action on this?

Check the 6163.Skylark forum for an extended thread on the conversion. Both Scarebird and BCCP conversions are covered. Several of those guys are using a Rambler manual mc I believe. Cheap and small for Manual brakes, drum/drum but they like it for the disc/drum. BCCP will sell you one of their new alum mcs which is small, manual, and expensive.…[Read more]

You check Rare Parts? good stuff

There are two styles of ball joints, press in and thread in. You need to make sure you get the right type. Rare Parts in stockton CA makes good stuff with a stock and sometimes an upgraded part called their Diamond Series-if you can buy at jobber rate good prices, Fusick olds has them I think, Kanter Bro but probably pricey, there are others as…[Read more]

Nobody else concerned about loosing access to all that banked info?

Still no ability to search for historical info since there is no functioning search function.

Can the Webmaster please comment on the problem?

Is it under resolution?

Sure, I get that. My concern is that I seem to be measuring it at a spot considerable lower than the factory location. I have been checking ends other than the 215 and some measure in same spot, direct outflow from a head and some measure in n accumulation point behind the thermostat as in where I m set up.

I did just have a breakthrough of…[Read more]

So I put a gauge sensor in the factory location and wow, a 20 to 30 degree difference from my location behind the thermostat. Factory location higher. I already compared the two sensors and they perform the same. Same gauge, I just changed the sensor signal wire back and forth between the two sensors. Now I don’t know what to think!

BTW my sensor has the probe fully in the coolant flow pretty much directly above where the coolant returns from each bank and enters the manifold center cavity behind the thermostat.

Are you guys using elect or mechanical/capillary tube gauges? I’m running a Stewart Warner Deluxe type electric gauge, 100-280 range.

Great info.
So what I did was build up the small boss in front of the carb/behind the thermostat and drill and tap it to drop a sensor in at that location. Seemed like a good spot and I could keep the factory light sensor in orig location. So I am running at about 185 while cruising and hitting 205 when on a long uphill grade, hotter than I…[Read more]

Sorry, talking about electric coolant temp gauge .

As you say with Facebook the info will be lost and not available for future reference.

That is why we need a functioning SEARCH for the forum postings

Can the webmaster please reinstate the old search function. The one at the top of the page pulls up articles, not postings. It was a very useful feature that enabled you to find discussions on lots of topics discussed in depth in the past.

Please advise status.
