New here. I'm from wetsern NC and i own a '73 delta 88.

I'll start by saying i'm an avid fan of zombie movies. that's what got me into Oldsmobiles.

Sam Raimi directed a movie calle Evil Dead in which features the wonderful Delta 88.

One day i saw it sitting at a car lot and i had to bring it home.

thats my story in a nutshell.

also wondering if anyone has some good pictures or a good digram for the vacuum lines for the 350 engine?

If someone doesn't provide the diagram you need a factory service manual would pay for itself. You can get them on ebay often, worth having. Welcome to CO.

Welcome!

Is your 73 Delta 88 a 4 door sedan like the one in Evil Dead? That is such an AWSOME movie!

of course it is. it's just not that aweful yellow color. and it also doesn't have broken rear and front windshields from cameras busting through it.
it is, however an aweful green color. EVERYWHERE.


and needs some new paint

definately not a good picture of the doors, but it IS 4 door.

That "awful green color" is Emerald Green, an extra-cost color. Which is kind of unusual since the car itself appears to be a fairly low-option example.

It was originally marketed in 1972 as Radiant Green. Properly done and with the right metallic flake in it, that green lives up to it's "radiant" name.
