How do you all get 6.2s to 300K miles

It'll be amazing to take photos of this K5 in NYC, ive seen Squares out here in the Midwest, but even with me keeping am eye out, I have rarely seen one in the city, or Long Island, It'll be cool to have a very unique vehicle there.View attachment 97112
If it is rust free dont drive it on salted, chlorided roads.
It wont live long if You do.
Get that Impala shaped up and run it for the DD.

I hate that thing so much, ive put new spark plugs, spark plug cables, coil packs, changed the battery twice, it still misfires and backfires horribly


From last week when I had it on a lift, thats the underside. 20251206_091937.jpg20251206_091947.jpg20251206_094518.jpg20251206_094521.jpg
 
The 91 Oldsmobile was misfiring and stalling constantly.
I scrubbed to shiny the grounds I could see.
Another main ground routed under the ICM/coil pack.
I was thinking possibly ignition switch. I was not going to try and stuff my arthritic bones under that dash, off to a mechanic thats a lot younger and smaller than I.
He drove the car and had it die on him right away. He too suspected a bad grounding wire.
He lifted the coil pack, started the engine, wiggled that ground wire, engine would die.
Third time the terminal stayed under the bolt head and the wire come loose.
New terminal soldered onto the wire. Fired up but had a misfire.
New ignition module and I think he said two new coils and that car now runs like a new unit. Maybe even better.
Used to be had to crank on it, sometimes fire right up but most times took several seconds of cranking time.
Not now, barely a twist on the switch and its fired and running.
 
you can tow easily on a lowboy trailer with it strapped down. if you rent a uhual trailer just inspect the straps and tires, make sure your lights all work too and you should be good to go.

slow and steady wins the race.
