Auction Buy 1970 Olds Cutlass "W-31" The Good, The Bad, & The Ugly! 

On this weeks episode, I go through and pick apart a 1970 Oldsmobile Cutlass S W-31 clone that we bought on an auction here in Nebraska. It's currently outfitted with a 455 Big Block Olds engine with aluminum heads, big headers, an Edelbrock Performer RPM intake, a 750 Holley carb, and an MSD ignition system. Behind it is a Muncie 4 speed and a 12 bolt posi-trac rear differential.
The car was restored some time before 2005, judging by the trophy that was in the back seat. I went through the car and corrected everything I didn't like, did some engine tuning, and added some parts in an effort to make the car drive better and start easier. The big block went from running poorly and smoking out of the pipes, to starting quickly and running with no smoke at all. All it required was a little attention to detail!
