This was one of my larget tasks I've done. I had to remove the intake when I thought I dropped a valve spring keeper in there, while I was tearing things apart, I figured I'd replace the timing chain. I got the whole thing back together and started it up. There was a bit of a metallic...

I had the intake off, and the timing cover off. Now the timing cover is back on, and I was cleaning the intake and this thing fell off from somewhere. I am sure someone knows what this does. I decided not to go further until I figured out where this thing goes.

I have some questions that I think are dumb, but I will ask anyway. I've searched enough, and now I just want to ask. I have to pull my intake, because I think I may have dropped a valve spring retainer in there while swapping springs... Then, while digging around with a magnet, I pulled a...

I'm planning on purchasing a PT-52 and I'm aiming for mid-low 11's. People seem to reccommend the 009's and some say to just go with the 60lb injectors. I don't have a chip yet, and haven't driven the car in a few years. When I was last at the track there was a guy who offered to burn me...

Some bum shipped me a 28-spline for my B-Body (needs a 30-spline)... and I already put a posi in my GN. Part Number 19557-010 $280 shipped (con-US)... as far as I know, the cheapest they go for online is $330ish+$20 shipping. I'll knock off $20 if you pick it up (near Detroit), otherwise...

I had my tranny rebuilt by Janis Transmission and got my stall converter (though, I haven't bought the turbo to match it yet). I asked for firm shifts, since it's not my daily driver, but wow... wow. The shifts are so firm it scares me. My shifts used to bark second with ease, they felt...

There's a catch... tracks that don't tech inspect. I'm making the move from NE Ohio to Michigan and I'm wondering if there are any local tracks that won't care that my battery is in the trunk without a box or switch. There are a couple great tracks in NE Ohio, I'm worried I won't find...

There's a '71 Buick Estate Wagon, original 55,000mi 455 with TH-400 blew up on the way home from SO CAL. Rust free!. I can get you the keys and title. It's a friend's who bought it and tried to bring it home, the engine overheated when the T-stat froze. It's sitting for $5/day and has been...

I need about $2300 for my Saturn SC2 before I head off to school in a week and a half. I've maintained it well, new brakes, rotors, calipers, pads, drums & shoes at about 125,000 miles ago 141,443 miles Front snow tires New clutch at 135,000 miles New radiator at 125,000 miles New engine...

Link to original thread I haven't made any progress since the day I pulled the pan. I now have a couple months off of school and some free time, but still no money. I have two basic choices. I have it rebuilt (high-end performance) for about $2000 and then I add a Vigilante torque...

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=7931992146&fromMakeTrack=true I can't do anything, I want it so badly because it is so cheap (and I want an LT1 car)! If I lived in Richmond, VA, I would be all over it. Someone save this RM from the asshat who will part out this...

I need some ideas for a domain name for my site. It can't be just Turbo Buick or GM related. I'm looking for humorous, but it doesn't need to be. It's not for a business, just as a personal website. So far, I've thought of: www.realcars.com www.automotiveoverkill.com...

I went to the track yesterday. I make all my runs in drive. My first run, I hit the rev limiter and had knock with about 16PSI. I let off the throttle when it didn't make the 1-2 shift, then, I got back on it. It shifted 2-3 just fine. DirectScan showed me first gear climbed to ~5750RPM...

I've got a '90 Olds Custom Cruiser with a 455 in front of my 200-4R. I plan on using this vehicle as my daily driver, and I occasionally tow (~2000lbs) with it. It has an extremely low stall of around 1200RPM, I plan on replacing it with the D5 from my GN when I get a new one. Back when I...

I'm planning on upgrading my turbo, but I don't know exactly what I want should do. I'm planning on 12's with alcohol injection on pump gas. It seems everyone else at the local track with a GN is using a TA49. I currently ran a best of 13.0@105 and 18psi on race gas and slicks. stock turbo...

Living close to Summit, I picked up a battery install kit and Optima battery (both on sale) for $100 total. I want to install my battery in the trunk, and I also plan on alcohol injection. My #1 dilemma is how to install the alcohol injection as cleanly as possible. I want to keep it stock...

I just bought these: http://antishift.net/image.php?id=179954&size=full They're HRE 16" modular aluminum wheels. I paid $260, with tires & shipping. One of them has a hairline crack and the wheel leaks flat over a 24 hour period. It's $250 for a new wheel that will bolt up to the...

Ok, I've got a '86 GN, I was changing my body mounts when I ran into a problem. I got all of the passenger side mounts switched with no problems at all, I also got the rear, #5 installed, and the #6, #7 and #4 installed. I put my T-bar made out of 2x4's under the door, just as I had done on...
