     I took two C heads off a '68 Delta that were red if memory
serves.  Would have to look at again to be positive.

I was just about to suggest that.  Same MPG, less tire per mile.  HA HA.

Anyway, Q-jet could be a problem (not well adjusted, 4-bbl always open,
etc.).  What about those vacuum lines.  I recall you had a problem
connecting stuff.  Is it connected right? (dumb question I know).  Is the
timing good.

And last, how "deep" down was your foot on that trip.  If you are even
touching the secondaries (which you probably are with the roller 307, drove
one on a trip, I know), that would explain it.

Okay.  To make something clear.  NO MORE BASHING YUGOs.  I don't want any
flame to start about how bad this car is because it was NEVER made for US
market and was a mistake to bring it.  Yugo was not that bad for Yugoslavia.
Small car=Small streets.  Cheap to make=Not so Cheap to buy, etc.

I learned how to drive on a Yugo (when I was 10) with a 5-speed.  Also drove
my dads Fiat and another GOLF.  In any case, Yugo was okay.  The one sold in
US was a domestic version slapped together to meet US emissions standards.
There was many surplus US bound Yugos that never made it to US that no-one
wanted to buy because of the retrofits.  Less power, more fuel, troublesome.
Remember what I said about miles in Europe.  Not much, so they last okay.
Bashing of Trabants is OKAY buy me as I got a ride in one and it was really
cool actually.

>Did you know there
>is even an earlier generation of Yugo's?

Yeah, but it is not much different then the US one except different
tail-lights, a little different interior, but that is about it.  I am not
sure which Yugo got sold in US (I think it was the 45 version (that is
45HP)).  In Yugoslavia you could later get a Yugo 55 and 65.  The 65 were
too dangerous to drive because apparently they had way too much power for
the cars cornering abilities.  The car is tall and skinny which makes it not
very stable in corners.

The Yugo we know here is a original Yugo, a model name not company name.
After that, the company that was called Crvena Zastava (Red Flag) decided to
rename itself Yugo.  That is how come you get a bunch of different ones.
Its like as if OLDS renamed itself Cutlass.  They probably did it for easier
ID abroad.

If you spent time in Macedonia, then you must have seen a car called "FICA".
This is a derivative of the OLD OLD Fiat 600.  Those were cool.  Gas tank up
front, room for 1, motor in rear, smaller then a gas tank on my Delta.  Did
you know that after those cars went out of production, a Turkish company
tried to buy a license from Zastava (Yugo) factory but they refused to sell.
IDIOTS.  They could have taken revenge on the Turks for the 600 years of
oppression by selling them this car.  Think of how many accidents (deadly
ones) they would have been involved in.  Those cars, were, truly remarkable.
So simple, so small, so crappy.

Of course I was cruising

Good Luck parking in Belgrade.  You could use a Yugo for a hood ornament no
poblem (with the 5-spokes and all).

P.S.  In the end, I would like to say that I would like to find a Yugo to
restore.  I think one of those would be nice to have here.  Certainly not
the same as "everyone has one" Civic with 4" tail pipe.  A Yugo 65 with a
few mods could be brought to 110 HP or so and a little car like that
(5-speed and WELL geared) would really kicks some Honda butt.  That would be
a site.

Olds content:  A Yugo can fit into the trunk of my '81 Delta and would
probably help it with traction.

Traction with a bottom end 455, 3.42 gears and a STALL converter.  HA HA HA
HA HA HA HA HA.  Don't even bother, you will never get it.  A street start
or slicks is all you can do.

I have a bottom end 455 that makes 470 ft-lb torque according to DD Dyno at
same RPMs, a TH400 with 12" converter (one size smaller) and 3.23 posi.  I
am running BFGoodrich Radial T/As 255/60/15 on the back on 15x8 wheels, rear
sway bar, air shocks (can really adjust them well), entire new rear
suspension, boxed-in control arms and it gets poor traction.  If I am
stopped and just hit it, the car will spin until 3000 RPM in SECOND gear
until it hooks up and starts to move.  Using the break is no good unless I
just want a jump and then WOT.  Either way, it spins like nuts, but street
starts are good. \

The reason it is water stained is that most people don't DRY the top OFF

Okay, I did not ask this privately because I can't buy from you due to high
shipping costs to Canada.  BUT, my question is this:  WILL they fit into the
77 (I guess not, huh).  IF they don't, what do you guess would have to be
done to them.  I was desperately looking for affordable (not HOOKER) headers
that could fit into my '81 Delta (same as the '77) with the 455.  I think
that my stock manifolds are a burden plus I love the sound of headers.  I
know that blackjack are not in business anymore, but if I know at least one
brand that fits, I am better off.

First things first, you need to determine if the engine's actually
running lean, but my bet would be that it's on the rich side.
If you can unplug a vacuum line and the idle speeds up then
it's running rich.  If you can put your hands over the carb and
block of some of the incoming airflow and the idle speeds
up then it's lean.  There's a good possibility that the O2 
sensor is constantly reading lean which causes the computer
to try to richen up the mixture which would explain where the
excess fuel is going.  Since the light only comes on while
your on the freeway and it drives good around town, it might
be something that doesn't show itself at idle.  Try clearing
the codes in the computer by unhooking the battery and 
letting it idle.  Recheck the codes and see how long it takes
to trigger the 44.  If nothing else, you could check the plugs
immediately after the light comes on to see if their sooty or
what.  As for best educated guess I would have to vote for
the O2 sensor replacement.

It appears that oldsmobile-digest #1782, generated sometime overnight
Tuesday/Wednesday, contains an attachment named happy99.exe -- DO NOT RUN
THIS ATTACHMENT! It is some sort of "worm" which is not good for your
computer.

Delete digest #1782 from your inbox immediately. 

FYI, digest #1783 contains no virus, but does have a 500K picture
embedded. :(

Steps have been taken to identify the perpetrators and they have been
removed from the list. It appears that the virus was an unintentional
attachment from a member who had previously not been a source of problems.
Nevertheless the account has been removed.

All in all, a bad night for the Olds list.

More later....

I had kind of the same problem in my 81 Citation with the 2.8L V-6. If
the O-2 sensor isn't that expesive and hasn't been replaced in a long
time, try that! That little 6 cylinder started getting about 9 to the
gallon on interstate and the check engine light would come on and go
off all the time.

Yes it is a nice hotel, but it is , as you guessed, divided by a 10 lane
highway. Why don't you look for reservations in Irving , Tx. , as that is
really where the nats are being held. Or, Los Colinas and Grand Prarie, Tx are
just as convinient, with less businesss/tourest traffic. Hotels would be
around $50 per night avg.

I have the driver side horn but for some reason the passenger horn is

Have you taken a look at how yours attach??  Can you describe it??  I
went to a local junkyard and the cutlass' there had different attach
methods.

Thanks.

Subject: Re: Gas Mileage

With less fuel, the engine will run hotter because the combustion chambers
will be "drier".  With less fuel to absorb the heat and cool down the
combustion chambers, the cc's will run hot, which heats up the water
jackets, then the water, then the block, etc.  Fuel has the same cooling
effect as water does on a hot day.

My turn.

Ed Gilpin (Omega Man)
I'm a 26yr old Civil Engineering CADD guy and MicroStation guru. Formerly a
GIS/Mapping Scientist and generally a Muscle Car freak all around. I can
usually be found sending senseless humored remarks to the list or searching
ebay for muscle car stuff.
I spend my weeks in Baltimore, MD and many weekends and vacations in New
Paris, PA (near Altoona/Johnstown for those PA residents here) playing with
my toys.
I have 2 '74 Omegas. (both under the knife right now)
One is a primered 2dr coupe that is currently torn down to a nub waiting
for me to get off my lazy butt and put in floors/quarters and a good frame.
(rust sucks) My plans are for a bright red/black int. stripped down rocket
ship packing 455 cubic inches of raw muscle.
My other Omega is a pretty rare S model hatchback with factory ram-air and
graphics. It's in real good shape but needs painted. I'm putting in a
milder 455 (maybe 4spd) and it will be my daily driver to replace my
current '70 Camaro. I'm thinking Cortez Silver/black interior with the
factory Omega graphics painted back on.
I'm also a good source for specs and rare odd info on most any marque and
year of muscle car.

Because no one on the List would disable their EGR.  :)

Anyway!

Suppose one purchased an EGR carb and wanted to drop it into a pre-1973
vehicle.
Also suppose one had the correct rods, hangers and jets for the target engine.

Does the carb need be adjusted in any way from original (EGR) configuration?

Karl understands that EGR is vacc-driven, so the power piston spring needs
adjusting. Are there vacc line tubes that must be plugged?

Anything else?
