Just to come full circle here...it was the sensor.

Thanks for the tip. I pulled the ICM and had it tested. It tested as "going bad" so $30 later and I had a new one in hand. Replacement was simple. Too bad it didn't fix the problem. Still happens at...

If you have a choice, I say no (and I've got a 4+3 in my 85)...its an interesting conversation piece and it works well, but when it fails its expensive. For a custom install I'd get a ZF6.

Eismann's in Jupiter...great honest shop. They did my prepurchase inspection in 2003 and were spot on with every thing they found.
A C1 was there, so I figure they have their act together.

Thats exactly my point. At a constant 50mph, no a/c on, constant RPM and my oil pressure was jumping up and down. Oil temp was constant...about 20* more than the coolant.

$3000 to spend on a 85 L98 to go faster

What does the forum suggest? I don't want to break any land speed records, just a boost up from the 230HP that come stock. I would plan on doing a good portion of the wrenching myself, so labor costs...
