1982 Cranberry Red 5.0L 305 original motor with 69k miles.

Previous owner claimed it was an LS with the factory 350
Was sitting on 22s, immediately replaced with stocks

Needs: suspension work and discovered leak
Also needs interior, more concerned with healthy engine

replacing tie rods and ball joints
-Let me know if I'm missing anything

Slow leak couple drops here and there on the ground
-Possible power steering leak, it's coming from passenger side

*Anyone familiar with "carburetor spring"
When I turn the engine off , the engine wants to keep running,
Take a couple seconds to fully shut off

Morning and welcome to our site! Am hoping one of our more techie members can answer your questions.

Welcome to the forum:
Congrats on being the owner of a 4th Generation Monte Carlo!:thumbsup:
I know not where you picked it up at.... Its my understanding That the 1982 Monte Carlo did not come with a 350 motor.
The choice of engine was either a 6 cylinder or the 305...
So, Unless someone attempted/did put a 350 in it... That's the only way a 350 would have been used.

Your 4th Gen should have an HEI distributor and fuel injection. (it could be a simple timing issue) If it no longer has fuel injection... Then someone changed it out to an older model
305 motor. Which now means it may have the 305 2bbl/4bbl type...
The 305 is notorious for having cam issues ... meaning they were improperly/inferior design by GM. Between the low compression and over valveing (trying to get more out of the small bore) they tend to wear down(cam) very quickly, However, a 305 isn't a bad motor...By merely using after market cam, changing out the down/smaller sized exhaust manifolds will significantly improve the 305 performance base. That was one of GM's attempt at a more efficient anti polluteing motor...

So, If you would kindly let us know a bit more info about the actual motor thats in it... (Carbureated? Fuel injected) etc.... The more info you can provide the better info I/we will be able to provide... I always did like the styleing of the 4th generation Monte Carlo.:thumbsup:

Welcome to the Forum.

Actually, our boat does the "carburetor spring" sometimes but I'm not very familiar with why it happens.

Welcome

Welcome to the Forum..
1982 Monte carlo with V-8's were computer controlled quadrajet carb.
the V6 was fuel-injected with throttle-body fuel injection..
