Re: 1964 Cutlass "Frankenstein Build" is Alive but Idle drops with Custom Cam
Wow, You have plenty of UNCOMMON things on top of this motor. So what intake do you have? looks like a standard q jet intake spread bore intake. I do not understand why they are calling your carb a square bore. square bore will have all the bores the same size. How do your gaskets fit on the spacer ...

Re: 1964 Cutlass "Frankenstein Build" is Alive but Idle drops with Custom Cam
They are calling this carb on summit site a SQUARE bore...BUT it is not it has front primaries smaller than the secondaries...THIS IS A spread bore carb. BUT that really is a moot point in the trouble your having...I am just trying to look up specs on the carb you are using. Jim

Why did they get drilled?
If not

Re: 1964 Cutlass "Frankenstein Build" is Alive but Idle drops with Custom Cam
Well I have to say it has a lot to do with the holes in your throttle plates and or something is leaking air from somewhere? Do you have a car friend you can borrow a GOOD known running carb from? The distributor springs should not need the LIGHTEST spring just something below what you have there. M...

Re: is it a Buick, an Olds or a Pontiac? Or all three
No .... mistakes... As long as your using good NEW parts you likely can not go wrong. Doubt you need all the extra stuff cover bars etc. On the street that rear will hold just fine. Stay away from rough uneven bumpy roads for burn outs and do not slide into curbs going around corners etc. You will b...

Re: is it a Buick, an Olds or a Pontiac? Or all three
Jud, Good questions. Well in 1964 -1965 and all the way to 1966 Oldsmobile did not have its own rear differential. It shared the Buick or the Pontiac rear. 1964 and 1965 were the only 2 years the rears were narrow (54.25" f to f or 60" drum to drum total width) for the Buick and Pontiac re...
