Hi!!!!!!

Ok... im try this again since i guess i got off on the wrong start...
(deep breath)

Hi, im from chicago and i have a 82 olds delta 88 royale.VERY CLEAN but its been sitting since 99. I have some experience with working on cars so i figured this will be a great project. I also airbrush so i plan on spicing it up for shows.My biggest prob right now is attempting to find a vaccum diagram.(dropped a different 307 in it)I plan to drop a 350 in it but at a later date.I'll put up more pics in a few days
thanx....

Welcome to CO. Do you have plans for a mural on the car? Airbrush work can really make a paint job POP if done well. Looking forward to pictures too.

Welcome again Viz. If you could post a pic of the motor as it is now somebody may be able to help out. Do you know the year of the replacement motor?

Welcome. I liked your last intro.

I'm pretty sure the vacuum hose routing diagrams are in the chassis service manual if somebody has one and can scan it, but that may be a problem.

All us "old guys" just relaxing here have trouble with that newfangled modern computer machine technical stuff.
They just turn the pc on and sit me down in front of it with some cookies and hot cocoa every morning here at the home.

Do you have a local library with repair manuals? Usually just Chiltons or Haynes but they may have the vac diagram, they don't cover much otherwise.

You really need the manual to do everything from a tune up to an engine swap, plus everybody will just keep saying you need it every time you ask a question it covers until you get one.

It took me three hours to type this so I'm going to need my nap now.

I had trouble finding a comprehensive vacuum hose diagram in my 1971 FSM or Chassis Manual.

LOL.

OOPS! I used all of your oxygen tanks on the cutting torch. I'll have to fire up your Olds powered iron lung.
