Thanks for watching!

@@olzkng your welcome,I look forward to watching more videos on thie Camaro

Thanks! I appreciate it 👍

Thank you!

Thank you!

Oh well. Best I can do.

Yeah, the simple days when success was measured by a burn out 10 telephone poles long! Life was simpler back then. This time around I was just trying to see how quick and hard it would shift at full throttle. It does pretty well 👍

I'll never tell Matt!

You’re welcome, glad it helped! Thanks for watching!

There's a place online you can buy some of the parts you'll need to rebuild a Dual Gate; www.shifterdoc.com/productcart/pc/HURST-Dual-Gate-and-Dual-Gate-2-Shifter-Master-Rebuild-Kit-His-Hers-p1748.htm There used to a be a guy named Mike Seidlik who reproduced some of the main parts (Mike's 442.com) but he seems to have dropped off the face of the earth. I believe The Parts Place has some of the parts to rebuild these shifters too or you could hunt on ebay. Good luck!

I don’t have a 69 Dual Gate on hand, sorry. A friend of mine had one for sale a couple of months ago so I messaged him this morning but he already sold it. Do you have to have the 68 and 69 H/O style with the curved handle or can use the Pontiac style with the straight stick? They’re functionally the same except for the shape of the stick. Do you belong to any of the Oldsmobile groups on Facebook? If you don’t I would join the Oldspower group, the Hurst Olds group, the Olds buy, sell and trade group, etc. Those shifters pop up once in a while and usually go for around $500. The Pontiac version is much easier to find and usually around $350 or so for a nice one. Have you checked with The Parts Place? I’m pretty sure they bought the rights to the Hurst Dual Gate and they reproduce a bunch of them with cables and brackets etc. They might have exactly what you need. Since the 68-69 Hurst Olds came with a Dual Gate and a Turbo 400 it should be easy to swap into your car. They didn’t use the console you have though, they used a much smaller console which is reproduced today. If you want to keep your original console you’ll have to modify it to work like I did. Still, it shouldn’t be too tough. Good luck with it!

Hi again, so I lucked out and got a hurst dual gate....it's not an olds....looks like a 68 or 69 Pontiac GTO shifter. I also got the neutral.safty switch that is mounted on the shifter...the top plate and the cable with transmission bracket....along with a spare 69olds console top shifter plate from the same seller. It should be here by Friday. Do you mind if I get your Instagram or email so ifni questions I can contact you??? Thanks Am

@@amrikjaswal76 you can email me at olzkng@aol.com. If you have a question I can answer I’m happy to help. I never put a dual gate into my 442 with a turbo 400 so I’m not sure how much I can help but I’ll do what I can. Sounds like you bought pretty much everything you’ll need for the conversion 👍

The dash and gauges are stock for my car. The panel to the left of the dash gauges is something I made out of aluminum. The Sunbird GT had a standard gauge cluster that you could order on non-GT Sunbirds. The Sunbird GT gauge cluster was later used in the GMC Syclone and Typhoon believe it or not. Thanks for watching!

It depends on a lot of things. Is it a turbo Sunbird? They're worth more than a non-turbo model. Is it a standard transmission or automatic? Standard transmission models are less common so they usually command more money than an automatic. How many miles are on it? What kind of shape is it in? If it's low miles, a Turbo with manual transmission and looks like a 2 year old car it might be worth $10,00 to someone. Unfortunately these cars don't pull a lot of money. A guy had a beautiful turbo automatic convertible GT for sale last year and I think he got $6000 for it. That seems to be all the money for them right now from what I've seen.

@@olzkng yea bro so it’s an 88 sunbird Turbo Gt Coupe. Manual. 70k miles on it. I’ve been looking everywhere online and I can only find the convertible version same year for sale. It goes from 7-15K. But the thing is if my car is rare and you can’t find it anywhere I wanna get the most I possibly can out of it. Please someone help

Are you a member of the Sunbird GT turbo Facebook page? That would probably be good place to post about it or advertise it. Either that or www.J-body.org web forum might be a good place to try to sell it also.

If it’s to tell me I’m a moron just do it here 😊. If it’s for advice it’s olzkng@aol.com

It depends what you want from your car. If you just want a classic, great looking old car and you’re not really into rapid acceleration or burning rubber the 6 cylinder is probably fine. If you’d like to do a burnout here and there or love the bottom end torque and sound of a V8 that would be the way to go. My overhead cam 6 is smooth and quiet and runs like a Swiss watch. It doesn’t have a ton of bottom end torque but once you get off the line it moves along fine. A V8 has tremendous bottom end power and can rip the tires loose most anytime you want. Having had a V-8 in my car before I put the OHC 6 in it I can tell you the OHC 6 always causes people to stop and look at it at a car show. With the V8, they’d look at it for a minute or two and walk away. If that’s important to you that might help you make your decision too. Thanks for watching my video!

Thank you!

Yes they are! Like they spent a night at the Golden Banana!

Yes, I had Moser make me a pair of axles. I put new bearings on the axles before they went in so the bearings and the axles were both brand new and slid right in. It took care of the problem. They usually get bent by either a huge pothole or from hitting a curb and bending the outboard section of the axle shaft or flange.

@@olzkng okay perfect I’m having the same problem in my rear passenger side I’m pretty sure that’s what it is would you have to get both new axles or just one

You can put in one used axle if you want. If t’s a common rear end they may be easy to find. My rear axles are Olds 12 bolt 31 spline which they only made for 2 years I believe so you very rarely see them for sale. An axle manufacturer may only sell them in pairs if you try to buy them new.

@@olzkng okay thank you again for all this info

@@Playboyjuany no problem, happy to help

You’re a smart man! Thanks for watching my video 👍

Should be a fun project! Post some videos of it as you work on it!

If the head gasket has never been done you may have to do a head gasket at some point in its life. Otherwise, they’re pretty reliable cars. The five speed transmission is reliable as far as I know and very desirable. You should post up a video of your car!

It’s a 1987

Can the injector wiring get mixed up?

The injector wiring position doesn't matter believe it or not. Just plug them in as they naturally fall near the injectors. I wonder if your harmonic balancer has slipped like mine did. Put number one piston at TDC and make sure your timing mark lines up at TDC like it should. Mine was off by about 20 degrees so I had to get my balancer rebuilt. It sounds like you set it up correctly just make sure the outer ring of your balancer hasn't slipped.

I agree. They’re pretty easy 👍

I’m using a #4125A279 blade from McMaster-Carr. It’s .025” thick but like you, I couldn’t find a .020” blade. Seems to work fine for me.

@@olzkng thanks. I’m going to one a try.

Mine did not have a felt washer in it but they often do, you’re right about that. There’s usually a clear plastic washer over the wells to keep the grease in the pockets though

God I hope so!

I rebuilt the 2.0 and have been driving it this summer. I've never swapped anything into one of these cars I've just pulled out the original engine for a rebuild. I have no experience in what's involved with swapping in something else, unfortunately. Thinking about the SC 3800 I trial fit and hearing people tell me they swapped one in and it fit I was wondering why it was too tight a fit in my car. I'm thinking it's because I was using the 4T65E HD trans instead of a 125 or manual trans. That would have saved a bunch of space and it probably would have fit fine that way.
