I am looking for advice on where to get a 200R4 transmission for my 65 Cutlass Holiday coupe. The motor, which is being built, is 468 cid (D block, 455 crank), carburated. The car is not going to be raced and will look stock, and I'm trying to get it to like it came from the dealer other than tires, engine, etc. I just want a good transmission and it has the console shift and I already have the Shiftworks cable kit installed. I've heard the name Janis from Ohio, Art Carr and Monster. I live in the Kansas City area. The previous owner put those 442 emblems on and I have removed them. Any advice would be appreciated. I need the transmission and the torque converter. I have the original 330 motor and Jetaway transmission and the protecto-plate. This is a Fremont car and there is no rust on it.

Hopefully the picture is in this reply. What I did was find a NOS 2 speed switch and it fits fine, except for the connections but I can work around that. I still have the old switch. The back came off it. This is a learning process for me and I am also learning that some of the switches will interchange and that just because (for example) the assembly manual shows a certain switch being put in the car (example in my car the fan blower motor switch)doesn't mean that one was installed. Mine is a square type switch verses a round one. It sort of looks like one out of a 67 or 69 but it works. At this point I just want it to work!! Thanks for the help! Tom in MO.

The picture I took is too large(to many MB or whatever) I will try another camera. However, after looking through the service manual on the descriptions of one and two speed units. According to the manual square motors are one speed and the two speeds are round. I think mine is a two speed system. The motor is round and has the number "7" on it. Also the car has a three prong switch. I located a NOS two-speed switch. I will get the photo. Tom

I need to replace the windshield wiper/washer switch on my 65 Cutlass. OPGI has them and I ordered one for a one speed wiper. It came with two terminals. The one that came apart, that I think was original had three. However the guy that had the car before me may have replaced the washer/wiper motor assembly. The connection that went to the switch only contacted two of the terminals. I found out that a 2-speed wiper was an option over the one speed. This means that the car may have had a two speed set up but when it got replaced, a one speed unit was put in. So, is there anyone who could tell me, by looking at the motor assembly and wire hook up whether it is a one or two speed wiper. I would like to put in the proper switch. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

I ended up removing the whole panel and I am glad it did. The previous owner wasn't detail oriented. I found a screw missing from the speedo cluster so it was not seated properly in the panel. I am going to detail and check the wiring and do some painting in there.
As far the the dash panel from OPIG/Dash Direct is concerned: I ordered the one, along with the glove box lid in blue for the 1965 model. The glove box matches the interior light blue. The dashpad is slightly darker. Before I install the glove box I am going to call OPIG and/or Dash Direct as I thought they would match. This is one of those things that I can go both ways one ie. either way it looks good. I guess I would like to find out, since they offer ones for the 64 in blue, did I get one for a 64? I will find out. But I ordered both for a 65.
The only thing I had to do was to enlarge the upper attachment slots (for the studs in the dash pad to go through)in the framework so the studs would easily go through. It was not much and I just used my Dremel. Then I tightened them bit by bit so the parts were pulled together.

Thank you all for the advice and I shall heed it. I did find, on page 2C-11, in the 65 Body service manual the directions for removing that pad. It says "Loosen or remove necessary chassis parts. Working from under instrument panel remove attaching nuts and remove cover. To install reverse removal procedure."
This part of the manual was obviously done on a Friday afternoon.
My OCA advisor (for the 65 442/Cutlass) said he spoke to another owner who installed one from OPIG and that it fit well. I shall report.
Also, while I'm at it, I got one of those 18X24 laminated wiring diagrams from Classic car wiring. It is very good.
Again, thank-you for your help!!!!

I am about to replace the dash pad on my 65 Cutlass. I have a service manual, the steering column is out, the car has a console but before I start removing parts, I thought I should ask someone who has done it, so I can do this with minimal problems. Any suggestions would greatly be appreciated! The dashpad that I am removing is black and only has a very minor crack in it so it would be available to someone. I am replacing it with a light blue one from OPIG as the interior is light blue. Thanks!
