Fusick is the go to for Olds parts. I'm sure there are several others that sell them as well. Just check if it's single or two lines.

Just finished the compression test. Here's the results:
Cyl 1: 130 PSI Cyl 2: 140 PSI Cyl 3: 130 PSI Cyl 4: 135 PSI Cyl 5: 135 PSI Cyl 6: 130 PSI Cyl 7: 130 PSI Cyl 8: 135 PSI So that falls within range from highest to lowest. I installed a new set of plugs. The original R45S set looked nicely worn. From the old receipts, I think they had 50,000 miles on them and were due for a change. I also swapped out the distributor cap since I had an new AC/Delco one on the shelf. The old one was a bit carbon-ey inside. The timing looked good as-is, at 12 degrees BTDC. She starts on the first crank. Rather impressive! Last edited by njsteve; 08-02-2025 at 01:17 AM.

Looks like a single line pickup as I only see one fuel line coming out over the top and over to the frame rail. There are 3 vent lines coming off the tank itself

I ordered the single line sending unit and a diff cover gasket and fluid for the next episode. I also ordered the rear diff brake lines. Along the way, someone had replaced the rear diff brake lines with too long of a set of generic lines and put a loop in them to take up the extra tubing. My OCD can't handle that.
