It’s a Chevy 305, the clicking sound is the choke, it’s norma. The 7th digit in the VIN should be a “G”, that is an LG4 305 165hp in 1985.

[@todell7008]

He said it's a 307. That would be the Oldsmobile supplied engine. I owned one almost identical to this one.

[@WildBill236]

Yes 305 Chevy engine was used on Parisienne's 1983 thru mid 1986 model year. GM switched to Olds 5.0 L 307s a few months into production of the 86 year for unknown reasons. Most GM wagons also got the 307, even Caprice wagons, while the Caprice sedans still had 305s thru 1990 style. Odd.

[@willc5512]

@@todell7008 Sounds exactly like the 140HP 307 Olds to me. Reliable but a total turd of a motor. The olds has a rather PROMINENT oil filler sticking WAYY up high on the motor. 1st thing u see opening the hood!

This car has so much potential. Restore it and bring it back. That interior is in good shape. Thank you for sharing.

[@devont333]

I’m doing my best I’ll keep posting videos

[@OLDS98]

@@devont333 Take your time. invest and do it right. You will be glad you did. Please redo the headliner too. The vinyl top came be redone as well. Focus on the mechanical first and invest. Then work on the cosmetic. You will know what to do and how to do it as well. Thank you for sharing. This car has a lot of options.

[@gsfdallas3464]

The clicking is the electronically controlled carburetor. All GM carbs starting in 1981 till end of production (1990) used CCC or Computer Command Control system that preceded the TBI fuel injection systems. These CCC systems have similar sensors, O2, MAP, TPS as the TBI fuel injection but use electronically controlled metering rods in the carb. (The clicking sound)

[@devont333]

Great information thank you for sharing!

[@willc5512]

Never heard the clicking in mine. Had that in a fleetwood. I think my metering rods were stuck in the FULL flow. Running rich, stalling, awful emissions, etc. It was always an argument when I told the mechanics I had an "electronic feedback carb." NO you dont, u have a TBI like on the blazers." Thats nonsense, that doesn't exist. OH it is a carb with wires on it....

[@Drinks4450]

Man this brings back memories. I had one back in 93. Mine was the 86' flavor. That car was so clean and rode better than any of this junk these days.

[@devont333]

I hope this thing still rides as good as it’s former glory stay tuned for that!

[@Drinks4450]

@@devont333 I anxiously await that video. I used to love that car. I was a Pontiac man in those days. Trust me she will rise to the occasion.

[@RookitMaster]

Beautiful car she still looks pretty inside and once the out side is cleaned up it will look like new. i have the 1985 Chrysler Lebaron convertible, love old cars from the 80s back to the 40s

[@devont333]

Classic cars are the best. Will have it washed up and buffed this weekend stay tuned

[@dewfall56]

Our family car during the early to late 80’s was a 1980 Pontiac Bonneville, with the smallest V8 GM ever made, the 265 ci. Man was that thing a gutless wonder. Did get decent gas mileage though, and that just ran and ran, even with low octane gas and noticeable pinning.

[@gregorymalchuk272]

The 307 olds motor has the oil filler at the front of the engine. Undercoat this thing with a lanolin based undercoating like Fluid Film, Wool Wax, or PB Blaster Surface Shield if you want to keep it from rusting to nothing.

[@andregonsalvez9244]

Cool car these were back in the day . My parents owned one of these a 85 Parisienne wagon . These are worth restoring make great boulevard cruisers .

[@andregonsalvez9244]

The Pontiac Parisienne is the Canadian version of the Bonneville which is US based back in the late 50s to the early 80s .

[@devont333]

So they never sold these in the US?

[@andregonsalvez9244]

@@devont333 That's right the Parisienne came out from 1983 to 86 in the US , the year dates I mentioned were Canadian series from that period.

Well you certainly have the chance to see what they’re all about now!

[@TheCoreyd1086]

If you are familiar with Davidsfarm this is a classic Pontiac. It was a Chevy/Pontiac combined. Very rare car. Made 83 to 86. You have a gem. Wash her up. Check how good the carburetor is and get her back on the road. Davidsfarm has a 86. His is the Cheviac. Check his old videos out

[@stevevlossak2443]

This one is a 305 not a 307

[@devont333]

How can I tell the difference between the 2?

[@OLDS98]

@@devont333 Good evening. A person said in the comments mentioned how you can tell.. The Oldsmobile 5.0 liter 307 has the oil fill in the front of the engine. This a Chevrolet 305 5.0 liter V8 rated at 165 hp.

Stay tuned to find out 😎

[@Gumboot-Cowboy]

You must have the same knowledge my dear old dad had. He reckoned his old Plymouth truck could run on anything from Alcohol to Zebra pee, and you got yours running on sauce. Hmm, is that tomato sauce? Great video. Subscribed.

[@devont333]

Hot sauce ol boy hood to know. Got plenty more videos coming on this ol gal

[@rick6z5]

Put a set of plugs in it, I made the mistake of not doing that when I found one that sat like that one and a plug went bad and put a hole in the piston and ruined the engine.

Beautiful car I just saved a 69 caprice 4 door needs rear main seal trunk rusted out drivers side quarter panel rusted it has 64,000 miles on it I paid 6,000 for the car he wanted 10,000 then he lowered to 8,500 and it didn’t sell so he lowered price again to 6,000 it does run

[@toronado8162]

How can you tell the difference is the olds 307 the alternator is on the drivers ac compressor on the passenger side and air cleaner snorkel is on the drivers side. chevy 305 alternator is on the passenger side ac compressor on the drivers side air cleaner snorkel is on the passenger side...... two different engine divisions......

[@christianmaheu9565]

hope you didn't start it with 15 year old fuel

[@jeffdean1077]

He did. And they never put any oil in the cylinders. I bet they put some nice scratches down the cylinder walls. On top of that, there they are using the old gas to start it. It's old gas type, so that might help a little, but now the whole fuel system is getting plugged with the gunk that's in it. I live close to this guy I might of even of met him over the years. The one thing that's going to be hard to fix is the mice in this area are hell on cars, even if you plug all the holes up, the little bastards still find their way into the car or can chow down on the wires. With 40.000 miles on the O.D. it should be saved as is not with the tires he has on it while selling it. I hope he saved the rims and hub caps. And the skirts that are on it. Like I said, it deserved another chance at life on the road, so whoever buys it, I hope they realize the potential of the car and don't turn it into a demo or a beater. And keep it off are roads around here in the winter. 1 year with the salt, and it will fall apart fast.

[@devont333]

@jeffdean1077 I took the plugs out and put marvel in the cylinders even after using my borescope to see they looked like new already don’t worry! Check out my other videos you’ll see I put a lot of work into the car. New tires of course, brake lines and other things. It is a good car I just don’t have time or the room right now in my life. Thank you for watching

[@jeffdean1077]

That's great. The car is looking good. I seen your post and it looks a lot better then it did.
