A family friend purchased the infamous Oldsmobile Diesel from that era. Nothing but trouble from Day 1.
One of my best friends had that Olds Diesel, what a catastrophe! And he was not a mechanically inclined person...what an abortion of a car!

I had the Chevy pickup with the same engine, it can not be emphasized enough what a piece of SHIT that diesel was, I believe I learned later that they built it on a car block.
It has always amazed me that the engineers involved in that diesel couldn’t dope out that a gas 350 used as a diesel couldn’t stand up to the pressures found in a diesel engine. As I recall the block actually would crack.
