Not really. Just shimming the brackes to align the belts and if you notice I
am not using the other bracket which hugs the valve cover. It fits but only
with a lot of elbow grease.

Hello all,

Just got back from the St.Ignace, MI car show. What a great event. Doc Watson 
and Linda Vaughn were there. Talked with someone from the Detroit Convention 
Bureau. They are looking for convertibles for a parade on July 6th in Detroit.  
They said they will pay cash to put your car in the parade and carry two 
dignitaries.  Contact Bill Chapin at 313-885-7341 or e-mail ChapinCo1@aol.com.

All,

Well, I guess I ignored all the recommendations at my own peril.  Looks
like I'll need to transport a car.

However, I don't need an enclosed transport.... it's not a classic I'm
bringing in...

My dad may be buying a new car, and if he does, he'll give me his 1989
Eighty Eight.

It's in nice shape, but it will be a daily driver, so preservation isn't as
important as it would be for a classic.

It is coming from Orange County, CA, to Burlington County, NJ though.

I'd like to do this fairly inexpensively if I can.

Recommendations?

Thanks!

Subject: 3800 plastic vacuum block

All,

There is on the top of the intake near the MAF unit a plastic vacuum block
with 4 tubes on it.  At least on the C-code 3800 motor, don't know if it's
changed later on.  Also appears to be identical on the 3300 V6.

Being plastic, they get brittle.  Being clumsy, I have a tendency to do
damage to it while accessing other things.

I've got a very rushed patch-job done so that it doesn't leak for now, but
it's ugly.

Does anyone sell these things new?  Are they available in metal?  Or is it
junkyard only?

Thanks!

Joe,

Welcome to the '89 88 club.  As the owner of one of these fine automobiles, I of the vacuum block of which you speak.  Still available, in plastic only, from your friendly local GM dealer to the tune of $85.46.  No, that's not a typo.  Handle with care.  You might score one at a salvage yard, but it may be just as fragile, if not more so, than the one you have.  GM refers to it as a vacuum source harness.  Part #24500714.

Try an Auto-Drive-Away company.  If the 88 is in good shape, they find
people how need transportation from your locations and they just drive
your car.  Its insured and they do screen the drivers.  They are allowed
to put some extra mileage on, but its limited.  My mother and sister did a
drive away a few years ago... for the driver, its better than a
rent-a-car, but you don't know what you're going to get.

Timing mark indicator plate?

That's why it's important when building an engine to locate true TDC, not
only to index the cam, but to check the accuracy of the alignment of the
timing mark on the harmonic balancer to the "zero" on the timing mark
indicator plate. Probably the only place to get one would be at a salvage
yard or from Chris Witt on the Olds List, rocketscience442@hotmail.com .

I've heard bad stories about that, but I guess if you're willing to gamble
that the car might get totally wrecked, and would be equally happy with an
insurance settlement, it's ok.

Keep in mind that most of the people volunteering to do this kind of driving
are going to be people who can't afford a car (even a rental) or college
students who are liable to be getting high and drunk in your car, and also
liable to be careless since they ultimately have no responsibility in the
matter.

They can ship open or closed. and door to door or terminal to terminal

No, the Riviera designation was indeed used by Buick well back to the '50s.

I forget the exact year it first started, but somewhere at home I have a 
copy of Automobile Quarterly, published in the 1970s, that featured a photo 
history of Buick Rivieras. Prior to the appearance of the Riviera as a 
nameplate itself, it was apparently a trim level on other models, maybe 
similar to the Hurst/Olds designation that appeared on various Olds models. 
Photos in Automobile Quarterly had captions reading something like "1957 
Roadmaster in the Riviera series," that kind of thing.

Someone else weighed in saying that it meant a pillarless model, like the
Olds "holiday" models before it was an actual nameplate. Makes sense to me.

I'd at first considered that.  But, I'm figuring that it probably wouldn't
be much cheaper.  The trip would be 2700 miles by Mapquest's estimate.
Figure 100 gallons of gas would be about $200 right there.  Plus a plane
ticket to CA, plus food, tolls, hotels, time lost from work, etc.  It
starts to pile up alarmingly quickly.

Yowch!!!  Just that little plastic doohickey is that much?  Or is it part

I think I'll grab a few from the salvage yard then!  They may be brittle,
but at least I can hopefully get a handful of 'em for cheap, and replace as
needed.

Actually, they do screen you pretty thoughly, and they want a big deposit.
Damage the car, your deposit is gone.

Sure, anything can happen.  You could put it on a covered transport, and
it gets hit by a big meteor... then insurance won't even pay for it, as
its an Act of God.

He was looking for cheap transport.  This generally is even cheaper than
flying out and driving it back yourself... you don't lose your three days
(min), pay for gas, or have to buy plane tickets.  Otherwise, I just don't
see any other transportation company touching it for less than $900, cross
country.

GM calls it a harness, but GM calls alot of stuff things that they really aren't.
It's just the block.  I think they think they can justify the price by calling it a

Joe,
I had pretty good luck with Dependable Auto Shippers.  They were recommended
by someone else on the list.  I paid $1200 from OR to MA.  I paid extra to
keep the car on the top of the open carrier (convertible) and for insurance.
You could probably do it for under a grand.  You can follow the car's
progress on their website.  Mine made a bee line across the country until it
go to their main east coast terminal in NJ, where it spent about 5 days.
Maybe that won't be a problem for you, given where you live.

Looks like a '67 Delta 88 4-door. I had a 2-door. They're assault tanks.

I agree.  Looks like a 98 LS Sedan.  The rear wheel cutouts and the C pillar
with emblem are the tell tales. Popular car in 1967, IIRC, the best selling
single full size Olds model that year.

Fred

I talked to greg from gregs performance. He has confirmed that the timing
indicators are different, he has one I can get from him for the 455. Can't
believe I did that

I'm inclined to think that your vacuum advance was intentionally hooked to
manifold/unported vacuum, where it should be, in my opinion.  I've noticed
that alot of people on this list favor a ported source so I'll just leave
this one alone unless someone wants to jaw back and forth about it.
Eric
=============
Most appications I have seen are factory set to use ported vacuum.
However, some, such as 1965 D88, and many of the late 70's HEI setups, call 
for dist vacuum to feed directly from the intake manifold.

I am sure the engineers had reasons for choosing one manner or the other. 
Both apparently work OK. I prefer the ported vacuum method.
