So I got this oldsmobile and it's leaking coolant on the front passenger side of the car. I think it's from a hole in the heater, but I don't know how to get it!!!

Can anyone help? or give me a website that can help?

Yep, its a rusty heater core. Its inside the dash, though. Go buy a Chilton's/Hayne's manual for your car and it will tell you how to get to it.

ok, thx.......but in my town that book will be worth 50 bucks....isn't there somewhere I can find this for free?

Are you sure? Where are you looking?

But there should be forums for your car and you can search for heater core fixes.

I'm looking mostly in google search right now, but can't find anything

Your local Autozone should have a repair manual for $10-30.

First result googling "87 cutlass supreme forum".

Sign up and ask how to replace the heater core for your car. However, I would recommend first seeing what your local parts distributor sells a manual for. There are lots of things that you may need to know when you dont have access to a forum that you can find in a manual.

YA RLY.

Just for the record dude, I don't think the fiero is in any way not an awesome car. I'm just messing with ya. :P

I know.

At least Fiero frames dont rust.

Why don't they rust?

Also, yeah, its hard to find a cuda for under 25-30 us grand that doesnt need at least some minor rust repairs.

I'm gonna ask for prices at an e body forum i sometimes lurk at, for the price of a 70 cuda where all I care about is not hugely rusty, and standard roof. Hopefully by not having any particular options in mind, I can reduce the price. And there are so many damn options.

The 70 barracudas have the following, probably non exhaustive (possibly i also got some items wrong), list of options:

10 engines

4 hoods

3 diffs

3 trannys (1 auto 2 manual, I THINK)

3 spoilers (including none at all)

3 roof styles (again, including none at all )

2 center consoles (once again, including none at all, you just stare at the transmission tunnel)

2 dashboards

3 decal configurations

2 suspension setups

a couple different wheels (im pretty sure)

2 front brake choices (disk or drum)

2 side mirror set ups (I *think*, I beleive side mirrors were an option on one side)

many different interior colors

something about seat belts i forget about

A plethora of other shit I swear I remembered 5 minutes ago.

Wow, that is alot of options. What engines were offered?

The Fiero frame doesnt rust because after it is put together and after the milling maching has drilled all the holes, the entire frame is dunked into an epoxy bath which completely seals the metal. Locked away in a bunker, a Fiero can survive for practically forever.

Thats pretty cool, I like it when car manufacturers improvise stuff like that. Gives the car character.

as for the engines:

198 ci 1 barrel 125 hp - slant six
225 ci 1 barrel (1 barrel carburetor) 145 hp - slant six
318 ci 2 barrel 230 hp - LA
340 ci 4 barrel 277 hp - LA
340 ci 3X2 barrel 290 hp (AAR) - LA
383 ci 2 barrel and 4 barrel 290 hp and 330 hp respectively - B
383 ci 4 barrel 335 hp - B
426 ci 2X4 barrel 425 hp (Hemi) - obviously the hemi
440 ci 4 barrel 375 hp - RB
440 ci 3X2 barrel 390 hp - RB

Hurrah for wikipedia (I edited it slightly for more info)!

even with the same block and dimensions, I actually count different anything on the 'power plant' of a car as a different engine, since it behaves differently, etc, so to me, they have 11 engines. I just counted the lines in my earlier post, since i knew I would make mistakes/didnt know all the options.

Edit: Oh and frink these HP ratings are mostly lower than the actual output, so don't come here and go 'HOW DID THEY MANAGE TO GET ONLY 390 HP OUT OF 440 CI? From all reports, they didn't, its much higher.
