Looking to purchase my second GMC --- hmmm must have got the bug
bad - I have a '73 Painted Desert style 3
It's a great deal -- '76 Royale rear bath 89k from OKLAHOMA
- --but puchased and moved to florida - been sitting a couple of
years -- but started and run for a few hours every other month.
Still has the factor black paint on almost all of the rails
- --(thank god--was stored inside for most of it's life)
Paint is white -- but an somewhat moldy
did most of the checkout today --
appliances work A/C gas/elec refer etc
front end mostly solid -- some work to do
bogis good -- have to replace tires and bag - the bags are so
torn up i can not believe they are still holding air
Cylinder pressures 165 lbs -- for all 8
but
The oil pressure gauge was erratic and somewhat low.
i Replace the oil filter and put in 6 quarts of castrol 20w
- -50
replaced the oil pressure sender with one for a '76 olds 455
- --got it at napa -- oil pressure is very low on idle
then bought mechanical oil pressure gauge (but the range was 0-
100 lbs (going back tomorrow to exchange it for a 0-60lbs gauge)
- -the oil pressure at 600 rpm idle about 10 lbs -- rev it up it
very quickly goes to 35 -40 lbs -- is this normal
Did i make a mistake asking for a standard olds gauge sender
- --(yep its a gauge sender not a switch)
should i have asked for what is called for in the parts exchange
manual -- napa 60lbs -- op6636 or the napa 80lbs op6638 or
the standard 80 lbs ps-157 -- i am confused ( as usual)
what with this 60 - 80 lbs switch --different gauges ???
