General Cutlass SX455 Q&A

Hi - Here are a few pics that I took during my full under hood restoration a little over a year ago. Steve Minore of CasAm Performance in CT was here for a week and we did a full-on assault, with an eye on correctness. My L-33 engine was largely untouched previously, but we did put back a few things like the vacuum lines and canister that were missing. Is there anything else specific you'd like to see? Terry

I have had my 70 SX since 1995.

All origional drive train. Well the car came with a second 1970 intake manifold and 4 barrel carb from a 442 . I m had the carb rebuilt and manifold cleaned and painted but never used it until this summer.

I unfortunately had a battery explode under my hood damaging lots of components and destroying the paint. Cost about $3,500. Well since everything had to be disassembled and reassembled, i gave into temptation to try out the 4 barrel. Mechanic said no problem. I agreed to his fee and requested he take plenty of pics so in had them when it would be restored back to a 2 barrel.

The 4 barrel kicks @$$ but time to but the 2 barrel back on.

Well remember the pics I asked for? Never got them. Now I don’t have much in detail to do the job correctly.

Any one that can send me numerous pics of the origional setup ( fuel lines, linkage, mounting points etc.) they would be greatly appreciated.

My fault for not taking 20-50 pics before I sent it to the shop.

Live and learn.

I will share what I have now and then but this won’t help me get her back to origional. So sad!!!
