i got a 1988 olds delta 88 with a 3800 engine and i changed mine and if you are going to change it ,follow the top radiator hose and there is the goose neck and it only has 1 bolt in it,i know it sounds impossible but mine only has 1 bolt,and if yours a 3.8 it has 1 bolt.by the way make sure you change the o-ring too.
