82 Olds Delta Royal Diesel
#6
I'm pretty sure it didn't sell through this forum, only one post from the OP.
Was there any interest at all in diesel Oldsmobiles in 2003?. This one would have been a 20 year old car, most of its contemporaries would be destined for destruction derbies rather than being snapped up by a collecter surely?.

I already have an original factory oil-filter adapter with cooler port for such a car (I bought it from ChrisW) but I have not (yet) arrived at my "factory-looking" hard line solution.

As crazy as it sounds, I really like Diesel Oldsmobiles, Cadillacs, Buicks and Pontiacs. I have a number of them that I like to work on. If anyone knows of one for sale, I would like to have another one.

Herbie, here's one. Unfortunately it's clear on the other side of the country from you.

I was and still am looking for pictures of the factory oil cooler line routing for B-Body with Diesel.

I think it was Car & Driver magazine that had an article describing a long road trip/Cannonball Run with three diesels. One was an early 80s Delta 88, one was a mercedes, and I forget the last one, maybe a Volkswagon Rabbit. The Olds won. It was probably in the early 2000s that this event took place.

Herbie, why haven't you bought this one yet? The last time I saw a 1977-1985 Holiday 88 was 1999 in a salvage yard in KCMO.

It cost me $900 to ship a 1985 Delta 88 from Las Vegas to Wash DC about 16 months ago. It's not so bad when they run. It's the non-running project cars that can get really spendy to ship ($1800 to get the 64 Vista from Reno to D.C.).

I agree that the Holiday 88 was a bit rough. Too bad it isn't in my neck of the woods. I would at least check it out for a test drive.
If I were to buy an Olds diesel sight unseen I would consider the silver one in Seattle first.

You have me at a real disadvantage because (again) I'm trying to glean pictures of something I've never seen/that's not available from repro houses.
Per the CSM picture, the oil cooler/oil cooler lines seem to occupy the space typically occupied by the transmission cooler/transmission cooler lines in the gas application.
Does the CSM further specify a particular diesel transmission cooler arrangement?
Thanks
EDIT see this oil/trans double cooler radiator below - maybe diesel transmission lines not unique after all:
