Oldsmobile 88
This one is forsale if your adventurous. I imagine if it has orig engine parts are hard to find. Well, probably all parts. I've seen quite a few restored on the net though.- Sgt Gus

Crap your CAT is in the way of the front bracket. Mine is not. I be no help. You can try. If no open gas neck etc I use met gas torch on nuts after PB. May break or have to cut. Someone will chime in after morning coffee I bet. -

Awesome, gut was telling me that. Ran twice so, 20 minutes total. Definitely getting hot. Will do last one today. Drain refill. Set idle timing tomorrow after warm up. Stock is -4, and think edelbrock says -3 for cam.- Sgt Gus

Engine start-up, Lean code 44
Only current thing I use for codes are the service light. So NO. I did get a USB to obd1 from obd diagnostics. This should allow me to run like rt tuner pro and get real-time info once I purchase and download. This will also (in my mind) help me determine if I want to goto upgrading the ecm...- Sgt Gus

New tanks? 16 or 20's. Metal or poly? -

On our 87 silverado (two 20's) the senders are pretty much between the cab and bed. So far, pulled down and fixed drivers. Whew doggies! -

Engine start-up, Lean code 44
Running the truck on it's 2nd break-in. Running between 2500-3000rpm. Getting code 44 (lean exhaust). I assume I need to increase fuel psi at regulator. I haven't set idle timing yet, I was going to get her broke in 1st? I thought my Maddox gauge said 14psi at location just past fuel filter...- Sgt Gus

What have you done to your square lately??
Driver Tank up, ran it for it's 1st 10-15 minutes. Front bypass fitting started leaking a drip. Daughter's like "something getting on the winshield".Shut down and started tightening. Yikes. Engine definitely got up to 210°. It was so exciting to run the 1st time. -
What have you done to your square lately??
Yeppers, I had the same problem. So, I assume you took down the poly cover. I loosed back strap some, so it's not poking through the frame. Removed all 8 bracket bolts. I supported tank with a trans jack whatever will fit...got the front bracket away from the frame enough to get a 18mm... -

Pruning shears worked great. I ✂️ the ground wire on drivers side. I can get to bolt now. :rolleyes: :boxing: What ARE the three sizes? I have 3/8" id and 1/4" on the way. -
What have you done to your square lately??
Like all this stuff we get great info, but also it takes just doing it. Which is some of their point. Once I tear into it no longer is as intimidating. Valve diagram from resourse manual is correct. I'm just glad there was enough gas in tank to let me know it didn't just run out of gas... -
What have you done to your square lately??
Yeppers, I think we're on the same page. I over think things too, so also just wanted to make sure IF I had to in the future I can get back down regarding the front strap thread. -
What have you done to your square lately??
I recognize that green and black truck, from this forum? Oh, is that yours? Lol. I was thinking if I ever painted my own vehicle, like my 04 burb, I'd like to do something like that.
