1982 Oldsmobile Delta 88 royal broughm review from North America
"Good cruiser"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Bought my 82 delta royal broughm last year. mostly been parked. bought for $400 dollars and it came with carburetor problems. changed carb with 600cfm edelbrock. still have to put on auto choke. also needs belt and battery. had fuel leak somewhere, but can't find it. bought car because it is very solid and I like driving big cars. has almost no rust on it or under it. I will probably regret the carb change and go back to orignal because origninal was probably better just needs to be rebuilt. but will get it going good for fairly cheap money and drive it for a while. has very little rust on it. I need a new hood ornament too and paint is faded and clear coat peeling. orignal paint.
General comments?
Comfortable ride. cruiser. not fast, but glides once you get going.
