Welcome to C.O. I always liked that body style of Toronados.

84 307 runs rough

My 84 Toro has the 307 and 60,000 miles I hope, taking that from the wear on the brake pedal, I have been changing out vacuum lines still have a few to do, done plugs, wires, distributor, and rotor, set back flaps on quadrajet, have a egr and vapor canister purge valve coming, the problem is Idle is a little rough and at 45 to 55 it seems to be bogging out, any info would be helpful. before putting on bumper fillers I would like it running good.

Assuming you have a recent tune-up based upon CSM specifications, use a vacuum gauge to determine if you're pulling a good steady vacuum.

I am will finish the vacuum lines and look it to that, I am learning on the fly never had to mess with the vacuum or carbonator in the 77 toro or the 83.

Beautiful car! I have a special place in my heart for K bodies. Torsion bar front and Independent rear suspension. Great riding car. As I said a hundred times'' Rides like a couch on a boat, floating on the water''

Great guys here on CO, will help with your engine. Have two low milage 85 Sevilles and just purchased a low mileage 85 Eldorado Biarritz. Eldo this basically the same car in looks. Any question on the rest of the car. Have 20 years of experience.

Have resources for hard to find parts and crawled under every inch of the K body.. Would not mind see some interior pictures! Digital dash?

The car is in for bumper fillers for the last 3 weeks, and I don't have digital dash, But do you know on my vacuum reservoir has two ports and one is connected to the engine and I have nothing on the firewall side, I was thinking it might go to the hvac system considering I can't make the cool air from the vents work, only hot air; but the A/C does switch over and work.

It maybe this bolted into the heater box. See if you have one on your car. If is anything like what's in the Seville or Eldo K body, Had one go bad in one of the cars.

Get a 1984 Oldsmobile Cutlass Delta Custom Cruiser 98 Toronado Chassis Service Manual
