This car is my jam. What a beautiful piece of machinery! Great EP Kevin!
I like your show and what you do, and I like watching it with my 14 year old daughter. However the language is not family friendly.
@@pirate1able the dude doesn’t even use bad language 😂 your thinking of zip ties
@@pirate1able my bad, I have the wrong channel.
I'm 70 and love your channel. You are doing what we used to do with cars from the '30s and '40s. get them running and have fun. It was easier for us, no computers etc. Have fun guys.
Keep that old Delta 88! Is a beast... Haaa..
If a Oldsmobile Delta 88 is a beast then my Oldsmobile 98 Regency is a tank : )
83 olds delta 88 is great classic old school vehicle
Please don't kill the Oldsmobile!!!!! Let it live
Blake I think the same
@@alexandergutierrez7748 The Oldsmobile engines of those years are bullet proof. It will live long as you keep oil in it : ) Still have my 83 Olds since 2004 while my sister went through about 10 cars from 1997 and up used cars cause every engine overheated and died. She can't believe my old car still going strong. They don't make good strong cast iron engines like they used too cause all the newer cheaply built cars have aluminum engines in them and when a aluminum engine overheats it's a goner.
@@SweetFLGuy1 I'd buy it but I live in California and our emissions are a HUGE pain to pass in older cars
@@blakedd420 More like Commiefornia.
@@SweetFLGuy1 The only Olds engine I'd say is a true POS is the GM350 diesel. Why? OEM Rocket V8 head studs on a DIESEL ENGINE. WTF was GM thinking?
That olds is a solid car I had one drove the tires off of it for years and guess what I bought it used for $500. So I would say hold onto it as long as you can.
15MPG with the AC on running 75+? Sounds good for what it is.
Mike Miller the best they did was about 21 at 60mph
Basically won't sit in a car that has an mpg under 55
Maybe they should of figured out what the warning lights on the dash were for? Fix that and the car would run better.
Tigerfire75 I suspect the amber one is a check engine lamp, probably has code 45 (rich) because the mc solenoid in carb is stuck full bore! 😜
Jimby_Vokk that doesn’t sound fun😎
DON'T rally or destroy it! It's a survivor and wants to continue to survive. Find a 12 year old POS car to destroy. NOT a classic. I love the idea of taking something from a junkyard or abandoned and roadtripping it. That's an awesome video. BTW, did you guys let the dog out of the back to pee at all during the trip? His legs looked crossed at one point there.
this
Yeah, destroy 90's and 2000's cars all you want, they'll end up in junkyards in a few decades anyway, they don't look good, they're made cheaply and overall nobody's gonna miss them. These old ladies are gonna outlive every owner they got.
I agree !!!! Don't destroy the car!!!!!! It's too nice. Destroy a car from the 90s or something.
"Classic" these things were made during an American auto manufacturing slump, they weren't attractive and they weren't reliable or efficient. They were one part failing auto industry, one part emissions/fuel efficiency regulation compliance. Unless you have some kind of nostalgic relationship with these things or you're a cheap hunk connoiseure these, though defund as such by the 25yr plus rule, are NOT classics.
@@fluffykittynoodles Well, there are plenty of 'classics' out there that weren't good cars in their day. You never know what will eventually become a certified 'classic'. Yes, my nostalgia on these comes from being a kid during this time period, a time when I was really into every kind of car. And, I always liked the bodystyle of these. Just the fact that it's still surviving at this age, runs so good, and has low miles, is all the reason why not to destroy it. How many Kia Optimas will be on the road in 38 years?
The gas mileage problem is the carb, my Dad had the same problem with his 84, take the carb off and put on a regular q jet or holley, that sensored carb is complete crap
Dont now what your on about but totally agree !!!
@@timwilkinson2797 The carburetor on the olds is computer controlled by sensors and solenodes and it's crap, they break all the time, it's emissions crap that bearly worked. My Dad had an 84 Delta 88 and because of emissions the carb had to stay but we found someone to bypass some of it to make it work, got better gas mileage after that too. No emissions in Iowa so replace the junk carb with a regular one and it should run great and get decent mileage, I think best was around 19 mpg in my Dad's Olds, but may have been in the 20's. It was back in the early 90s when he had the car
Thanks for the reply Roadw
@@roadwolf2268 wonder what MPG's you could get with an EFI setup on it
I was getting upwards of 20 Combined and 22/23 HWY in an 84 Caprice w/ a 305 and Overdrive a few years ago, 2015 - 2017. I didn't have 10w40 in the crankcase though, I used Pennzoil Platinum 5w30 (yeah, oil leaked after I switched but I didn't see oil burning.) I might have gotten 25 HWY if I stuck an electric fan on it.
You now need to get out the rubbing compound and the wax and make her look sharp.
Check the carb. There are two plugs in the bottom of the bowl (have to pull the baseplate to see them) that look almost JB Welded from the factory. They leak causing the carb to use too much fuel. There is a black small pad sold at any parts store to deal with it. As long as that car sat I’d bet they are leaking. The plugs seal off where the main passages were drilled I believe. Tap on the plugs with a hammer to reseal the factory seal first then add the leak pad. Makes a big difference on your mileage.
Well plug !
Proper way is to drill them out, tap the holes, and cut up some 1/2 bolts slot them, dip em in gasoline resistant epoxy and screw em in. not hard to do, just have to have a steady hand or a drill press.
look at the TH-cam channel 'tyler's neighborhood garage' - he's a quadrajet magician
or.....a motorcraft 500 cfm 2 barrel. Most dependable carb ever made, and will power that stock engine perfectly
Any one that says Hammer to fix something , Be aware
You guys taking the mobile couch out for a road trip?? Epicccc 👌👌
@jdslyman my god are those comfortable! My grandpa used to have one and it was like you were sitting on a cloud, they were so soft and spongy. Best car seat in existence, hands down.
I love seeing videos like this. Save the car or sell to someone who can use it. It's so neat to see old cars that someone was going to let ruin saved and running.
That vacuum solenoid on the throttle is meant to increase the idle to compensate for the AC compressor running
I still want my rematch!
Deal😎
Dylan you need to come to Iowa!
Donna Brown I would love to!
👍 I do envy you guys that fun road trip and grass racing but I do love my 89-I'm 2nd owner,similar colors to Rocky, near mint, no need for pins nor rally Buick Lesabre!
the Dorcoba is heavier than the olds...
Next gen roadkill. Keep it up 👍
Roadkill before dodge took over
I will take a cheap car that runs good and it gets 15 miles to the gallon over a new car any day. Think about the cost for the tag insurance all those things and if something goes wrong you can actually fix it instead of taking us somewhere and having to buy more brand new plastic stuff.
These cars got 17-19mpg highway normally.
The later tbi cars could get insanely good numbers for what they were. I had a roadmaster that did 27mpg on a long trip once.
If you want a modernish safe car with cheap insurance you are better off with an older (1990s) Mercury Grand Marquis.
Insurance for these old B bodies is actually more expensive.
The Grand Marquis has the best combination of big safe body on frame car with dual airbags and V8 power, 23mpg highway, 4 wheel disk with ABS, and very cheap and very available parts. Most parts inter change from 1992 to 2011 so you can keep em running forever with junkyard parts.
These were neat (ive had one) but the Panther wins hands down for sure.
If you guys keep it and decide not to kill it swap in a olds 425 or 455 it will drop right in on the 307 mounts and make it a fuckin rocket. Yeah gas mileage will go down but who cares?
Exactly.
exactly ! i hate this throw away society we live in
i can no longer afford my 18 altima cause of being shit on by my job so i went and bought a 99 Buick La Sabre even tho its a bit older the tags are nothing insurance is so low and with snow tires and the fwd it can get around Montana snow pretty decently but she does get around 15 miles but thats the price to be paid
Hey, I like old cars but I'd rather have good gas mileage...... good thing old european cars get better mileage than new ones. My old 80's Peugeot with a carb gets 39 mpg average compared to like 20 mpg fuel injected SUV's and shit.
1981, the Computer Command Control just controls a fuel mixture fine-tuning solenoid. Not much to worry about. The car can run without the computer. But will use (as you found out) more fuel. Gotta rebuild my CCC 2BBL Rochester on my 1982.
We had a computer failure and that's exactly what happened 👍
@@JunkyardDigs Brave to take it that far from home.
No# 1 thing to check is the air filter a dirty air filter can rob you of better gas milage
We had an 84 Olds 88 that when all was right with the world, it would get 22-24mpg. Check timing as well.
Uhmmm, and i meant this boats only electronics is the ignition module... :D
Don’t rally it! It’s too good! My parents had a ‘81 Olds Ninety Eight “Regency” with a 403. It was an awesome cruiser.
Save the car! My wife's family had multiple Delta 88's and 98 Regancy's. They were great cars.
Keep it. Take care of it . Appreciate it. I've had 2. 80 and an 84. I will buy another one. This one is in good shape, obviously.
You guys should go full Goonzsquad on the Oldsmobile and restore that beast. Would be way more epic than trashing it.
One reason there aren't a lot of old cars, is probably due to Cash for Clunkers. They killed all the old nice reliable cars, for people to get in debt.
That was THE stupidest thing the states ever did
I still own two 80's cars a 83 Olds Ninety Eight Regency and a 84 Camaro Z28 and I'm getting worried that the big city that I live in with 5 major junkyards no longer have 80's cars for parts. I worry somebody gonna do a fender bender and I won't be able to find the parts anymore. 80's even 90's cars and older are getting more rare every year that passes.
same almost happened to my mom and dad. Their van had a rod knock for a whole winter. They almost traded it at a chevy dealer, but it ran fine a fter 1 whole winter of sitting, with a rod knock
Oh and it was a winter in wisconsin
Black smoke out the tailpipe was common on quadrajet managed vehicles. It's a 750CFM carb on a 307CI engine. Gut the catalyst and see if it runs any better. Made a world of difference on my buddies Delta. That flip the lid trick makes it sound like it'll suck the hood off the car 😂
This "loader" at 5:15 is the idle speed magnet when you engage the a/c
If this fails the idle speed will lower so far that the engine goes off in drive.
You could loosing the control of the car in traffic. Dangerous!!
To check it for proper function turn the ignition on, then switch off and
on the a/c. You should hear nothing but the the accelerator lever must
move up- and backward.
If it guzzles too much gas check the evap canister for free airflow underneath.
Mostly the drain holes below are clogged with dirt. This is a part from
the EGR-system. Check the system for leakage and rusted tubes.
I can't tell you how many times I drove cross country, and had the oldest car on the road, I still laugh....
Nobody cares
@@FuckSlowShit I have done that is a VERY old ford.
As long as you have a sense of humor, keep driving it as is, since I was 22 years old, I've always had a junker, to save my new cars from NY winters, cause my first 2 new cars got beat driving to Jersey every day from NY, so when I bought a new 83 Riviera, which by the way, had the same Junk motor as your Delta, a 307 Olds anchor, I bought a 100 70 Ford Torino, 6 cyl no A/C which used more oil than fuel, wore thru from tires on a monthly basis, endangered my life, on a daily basis, even caught fire once on RT 80, from a cigarette I thought went out the window, and landed on the luxurious rear seat, and smoldered, I thought the smoke was burning oil, but a lot of fun
I have to commend you for inaugurating a new form of racing: GRASCAR
10:35 trivium, hell yeah
Hell yeah!
Stomped the sleeper! :D
Thanx for a great vid buddy!
"How do people in cities live? WHAT DO THEY DO WITH THEIR CRAP?!"
Oh Iowa. So adorable.
Advance your timing a bit , loose the cat and it should get better mileage , it should get 18 or better running on the freeway, these yachts are my specialty, and you have a damn good one . But an ls would do her good lol
Really, lose the cat?!
I've just re-installed the AIR on my stock 307 '82 Toronado with 50k miles hoping I will get the authentic experience. Not planning on re-installing the cat, though.
But obviously the cat and AIR is part of the emissions control system. Is the cat really not necessary??
Unfortunately the Toro is still not staying on. The fuel pump is new. I'm thinking something car-related (original Quadrajet, btw).
Just dying to get the car again on the freeway!
We owned one for 17 years, an 85' Delta 88 Brougham. Got an average of 18mpg... 22mpg on the Hwy. Had it not been destroyed in Pittsburgh traffic on the way home, we would still have it. today. It had the Old 305 in it. Ran great, very few problems. It did rust out on the doors and fenders but I replace all that... sadly the accident destroyed the frame.
Leechburg Lights olds 307 if I remember correctly
Leechburg Lights love your channel👍. RGB wannabe.
Great trip and adventure with Rocky. This series of large GM cars were very well thought out, considering the period of manufacturing. They are quite rugged as seen. Thanks for keeping the car alive, and with the faithful service Rocky gave you, after a long slumber, he deserves to be fixed up and kept!
Great video, guys! Right after high school (1981), I went to work for a friend of the family that ran a VW/Subaru repair shop. He had a burgundy Cordova just like that one.
What do they do with all that crap in Nashville? They recycle it into a Taylor Swift album, of course!
I hope you don't wreak this car. Pick a old Toyota for that not something getting rare. Anyone agree with me?
Honda's cheap easy to get and parts cars are always a few blocks away
Black Terminal yeah but I cant watch an old loyal toyota be destroied either.
no a ford is crap no ones likes their shity unrealibe cars
AMD Piggy SHUT THE FUCK UP the old fords have gotten me home in a pinch hundreds of times
DEATHRACER XD Ok then your an idiot they are very unreliable
My first car was a 1988 Olds Delta 88 Royale. Bought it the summer of 2000 before my HS senior year. Loved that car and drove it all over for 4 years. Excellent cruising car! This brought back so many great memories. Thanks for this video!
That was a great video! Featuring all my favorite car guys together! That Old's if it's a 307 was gutless, but would do about 17 - 18 mpg new. Keep them coming and appreciate the old cars as I do!
New spark plugs and wires, etc might help that fuel mileage.
Exactly what I was thinking. It seems to have a small miss.
It's totally the carb causing it
Fellas, do yourselves a favor and take the bulb out for the check engine light on the Oldsmobile. I had 2 , 81 Olds Delta 88's and the computer control system for the engine is a joke. The check engine light in these cars comes on constantly. Just pull the bulb and you'll thank me, just don't disconnect anything from the Carb or she'll run like crap. These cars are incredibly durable and reliable.
I thoroughly enjoyed this video! It reminds me so much of the stupid/awesome things we did when we were younger (What could possibly go wrong? Don't ask!) You guys are so much fun to watch-- I enjoy all of your content. Keep on doing what you do so well!
All three of you guys together is my favorite thing to watch on TH-cam 😂
After 1800 miles are you really considering of selling it?
Hollow out the catalyst. It made a huge difference on mine.
Not a bad idea since it sat for so long.
After - sitting - such a long time these are often clogged. ;)
I think those had the pellet style catalytic, not the honeycomb style
"Also, we have WINTER. Which is the ultimate competition for grip, just to live"
Best line X'D
Amazing find guys, real beauty of a vehicle. Glad you're appreciative and didn't tear it up. There's an ENDLESS supply of PoS beaters for those kids d of hijinx.
Greetings from England. :) car has a lovely color to the inside, looks very comfortable. I like it.
Put some OEM hubcaps on that bad boy!
75 Regal - I put 10k miles on it last year ... repair cost $8 for an oil pressure sending unit +a couple cases of oil - I love old cars like this
You can't get much more than 40 years out of oil pressure switches nowadays. What a money pit!
@@stephenandloriyoung5716 lol!
I am jealous of all the fun you guys are having. Great video.
10:33 Trivium? I see youre a man of culture aswell
Had to scroll so far down I thought the world went cold and culture ran out the window.
If I had that car, I'd fix it up beautifully! Engine, suspension and all! I'd cruise in it everyday
My grandma had the same car but a 79 2 door, same color... It's was so reliable, we lived in Canada and took it from Toronto to Vancouver and back in the late 80s early 90s with no problems but not good on gas at all, but a good car, do not trash her!

Thanks you for good videos I’m 13 and you inspired me to buy an old car and get it running so when I can drive o have a cool old car to drive thanks
do it I have 4 old car there so much more fun to drive then the new pop can cars see my videos of them running if you want
I'm 13 and I have a big block 427 in a 67 Chevy school bus. It's a truck motor so I'm gonna put it in a truck ( square body Chevy) also it has a np 540 trains with a super low creeper 1st gear. Currently it has been sitting 12 years with a blown head gasket, but I hope to get it running. Good luck to you🛠⚙Brother 😀
@@dansam645 square bodys nice trucks too thats good think about the older cars and trucks you can fix them easy new one ever garages want hardly work on them
@ Jonathan gaming and blogs okay I'm not sure if it's a 427 or 366 but it's in a 67-72 Chevy B-60 bus, and it has a Holley 4- BBL carb

Donnie Sethc, lol, that's a good one.
I had the same drivetrain, same car.. without overdrive. removing many vacuum lines, smog pump.. it shot up to 20s mpg. if egr valve, plate it to not work.
When you said, “what a piece” when that lowered Lexus went past I busted out laughing.
In the UK this would be a $5000 car!
Nah, about a thousand quid
And with the expensive gas, its suicide
@@vaquero141 Lol
Its a solid $900- $1,000 car here in NY
I'd convert it to run on LPG, the boot is big enough for a big cylinder to fit behind the rear seats with little loss of useful boot space.
Unplug mixture control solenoid on top of carb. Runs rich at idle but does much better everywhere else in the range.
That Delta is fantastic! Field doughnuts are the best!
I used to get 20 mpg highway with a 305 and a TH350 trans into highway gears. 1985 Caprice. Of course we didn't get those computer controlled carbs around here, E4ME quadrajet is what the box Chevies came with. Olds 307 ought to be close.
I drove my 84 Olds wagon to Texas from Ohio,got 23 mpg.
You have to maintain the thing to get it to run right.
Flip the air cleaner lid. It's good for about 15 additional HP and it sounds cool.
Lol, 15hp? No it's not.
Hahahahaha
It’s beautiful when you see a Classic car in the middle of a Land of Modern vehicles.

The new Roadkill
Totally! Gotta keep supporting these guys for their free content!
"the brakes are ok" meanwhile, brake light is on :P
These old Oldsmobile's with those gutless 307's are hard to kill, they may be underpowered, but they will outlive any 350 or big block, and the sound of those secondaries opening up never gets old lol.
This car brings back so many memories. My Grandparents had a 1983 that was identical to this car. I remember riding around with them. It was such a comfortable car. Unfortunately they sold it to my Uncle when I was 15. I was hoping I would get it someday but that never happened. Enjoy it!
Id buy it.
Actually I'd trade you a 2005 Ford Crown Victoria long wheelbase taxi. Former NYC. Under 200k miles.
You can rally the snot out of a crown vic
Ford stopped making crown vics and it's one car i'd love to have if i had the money for one
I think when he bought the Olds, he said it had a 307 in it. I'm pretty sure they put a 350. I had an '84; man, what a car! ALWAYS started, had ice-cold air, rode like a champ, and was a good-looking car for the time. The reason the Olds is winning the grass drags is putting the shifter in 2 keeps the trans in 2nd gear for better traction. The Cordoba has a bigger engine, but spins the tires because of how wide they are. Olds advantage!!! Keep it for a work and road trip car!! You can carry 4 people with you, plus all their gear. And, how many do you see nowadays???
Yes
1979 was the last year for the Olds 350; the 307 replaced it in '80.
Man I bet the big two couch Oldsmobile can fit 8 women in the back sitting on each others laps and 4 women sitting on each others laps in the front couch and maybe squeeze 1 more sitting on my lap while I drive :O I've fit 6 women in a small 78 Toyota Celica GT hatchback low dragging pop can roller before : )
No 1980 was the last year for the 350 v8 my mom had a 80 delta 88 Royale coupe and it ran way stronger and smoother than the 307 that replaced it
Looks good guys can't wait to see the video with Dylan McCool he's got that sweet charger!! That olds is a great older car my my Mom and Dad had one it was grey when I was a kid!! Loved that car there's was two door
I’ve owned both an 82 and an 86 Olds Cutlass Supreme. Both were 305 4bbl equipped. Two of best cars I’ve ever owned. 80s Oldsmobiles were great running cars.

If that was my car I bring it back to its glory, I replace every part that needs to be replaced, Fix and repair every leaks and put new seals in motor and transmission, put new tires , new radio, complete tune up, spark plugs, wires oil change, transmission fluid change, and put new radiator, new new hoses, etc. and lastly give the engine compartment a complete degreaser power wash, basically almost a complete restore

Please keep her on the road. My comment is late but, I learned to drive on a 1981 Delta 88 2 door. White with white vinyl roof and blue interior. That was the most comfortable car to drive, ever! Fuel gauge and speedo didn't work but the odometer did. I would average 6-8 mpg country roads driving. This was in the early 90's. I wish I still had it. Brings back some memories. I used to go on dates with my high school sweetheart, my wife now. Keep up the great content.
Miss these cars. Friends brother had an 84 like this, I had an 85 Lesabre (basically same car) with a 307 V8 in it. Got about 22-25 highway.

My grandma lives in Cherry Hill, NJ Decent neighborhood and still she ruined a rim on her X3 bvecause the potholes were like craters. the fill them up with graqvel and old tarmac and put a layer of asphalt over it. in the wintertimes it fills with water and then freezesd wich causes it to brake again and usually leave an even bigger hole.

I love these "can it make it?" Vids. MY wife dog and I took a $500 1991 chevy rally van with 220,000 miles and drove it from Vancouver Canada to Jasksonville Florida over 3000 miles in 76 hrs (and that includes rests). No issue.
Make it a hypermiler!!!
what's a hypermiler?
@@killer13324 Hypermilers are usually people, not cars. A Hypermiler's car is more fuel efficient than factory specs it at and/or it's driven slower to get more distance out of a tank.
@@101Volts so a hypermiler is someone who makes their car more efficient. How much to hire one?
Oldsmobile ...when cars had class.
Great Video I must say. I really like when you stopped at the MFA gas station at 8:14 in my neck of the woods in Canton!
Hey guys, Linn county Iowa native here! Just found your channel last night amongst my insomnia. I like your style! Taken a few road trips like this myself lol...
