Re: Brand new Olds Toronado owner
Hi ! It's been a long time, I'm still working on my car and things are starting to look better. I'm waiting for a last package and I should be able to see if the engine is running fine :) I still have to put the distributor back, connect the fuel line to the carburetor, put the power steering pump b...

Re: Brand new Olds Toronado owner
I used the timing set from Cloyes https://www.rockauto.com/en/moreinfo.php?pk=417068&cc=1346396&jsn=482&jsn=482 , they seems to be the best for that. The older one looked original but I cannot tell for sure. It did have nylon on it and still in a good shape. My engine is not that used, i...

Re: Brand new Olds Toronado owner
Hey, Just a quick follow up :) As you told me, I checked and replaced the timing chain and the whole set. It was not that bad but it's still good to do. Not that easy when you don't want to remove the engine from the car, especially because of the front mount of the engine but I was able to lift the...

Re: Brand new Olds Toronado owner
I don't think mine was abused, it was just really barely used, only have 23000 miles that were done in 4 years and then nothing... so rubbers, gaskets, a lot of things have to be replaced because of this. I'm still waiting for the carburetor so I have time to check completely the engine. I'm just be...

Re: Brand new Olds Toronado owner
Hi everybody ! First thank you for the replies, I should post here more often but I'm always busy :) Tuco, I sent you a private message, I don't know if you got it.
