how many turbo regals have been parted out over the years...... Seems like every day I see one on this forum that is being gutted. Granted......most of them are probably parted out due to some unfortunate event like fire, flood, accident or other. But I see complete cars with running engines...

Hi everyone. It has been A LONG TIME since I've been on this board, mainly because my GN has been quietly parked inside my garage for the past 3 years barely getting any love and attention from me (motorcycling has taken over my life along with 2 kids). I know that this has been asked a...

Anyone out there have an old SMC alky kit to sell? Mine finally died last week after many successful years of service and I'd like to replace with like kind. I would entertain any offers if anyone is still using this type of alky kit, cause I know it's old technology nowadays. :)

I know this is late notice, but I didn't see it up on here anywhere and thought I'd throw it out there for anyone interested. http://www.allstreetshowdown.com I'll be going on Saturday for the car show and festivities to represent for Buick. Anyone interested from the Indianapolis area?

This may piss of some folks if the topic has already been discussed......so I'll just apologize up front before the storm! :biggrin: I tried the search engine for about 15 minutes and came up with nothing, so here goes. I have been wondering for a while what the hell "invigorate" was in BP...

I rarely put my external mechanical fuel pressure gauge up on the hood any more, but for some reason, something told me to do it a few days ago. I noticed after driving the car around - to church and back - that the fuel pressure was not holding after I shut down the engine. I watched the...

Not sure if this is the root of the problem, but I've been tracking an RPM issue with my GN. The darn thing won't rev like it's supposed to. WOT passes provide information that the motor only gets to just above 5000 RPM at the highest point. Current mods are listed in my signature below...

I am trying to track down some issues with my tune and would like to see someone's data files from PowerLogger, preferably from a low 12 second or high 11 second Turbo Regal. If there is anyone out there that falls into this category and is willing to share, I surely would appreciate it...

I am in the process of tuning my car with the alcohol and I got asked a question that I cannot answer. I am running a mixture of 75% denatured alcohol and 25% distilled water, with a cap full of Marvel's Mystery Oil to lubricate the pump. Will this mixture skew my 02 numbers? My buddies...

I am in search of one (1) clean passenger side door escutcheon, the one that is closest to the dash. I have a big scratch in mine and am looking for a suitable replacement. These are the things that the door pull straps bolt to. I could also use the driver's side escutcheon in the same...

I installed a set of the LT1 valve springs on my otherwise completely stock turbo motor about 5 years ago. This was during the craze where all the turbo vendors were saying that these were the springs to use on the turbo motors. I had a spare set of these springs tested for open and closed...

If anyone knows of a 3" exhaust system in decent shape for sale that is used, please let me know. I may be interested, depending on the price. Doesn't have to include mufflers.

O.K. I've searched this site using keywords "dash" and "lights" and haven't found anything conclusive to my needs. My dash lights don't work anymore. When I don't have the headlights or parking lights on, the factory tach and boost gauges are lit up. Then, when I flip either the parking...

What: Buick/Olds/Pontiac Car Show Where: Hubbards GM Center, Monticello, Indiana When: July 2, 2005 from 10 AM to 3 PM How much: $5.00 entry fee - all proceeds go to the Animal Rescue Fund of Muncie, Indiana Why: Why the hell not? ;) It will be a non-judged show and a good time to...

I am a long-time member of TB.com and have searched many topics just like this one. I seem to be stuck in a rut with my GN which should be running better times with the mods that I have done. In my signature below you will see what I've done. The 12.06 timeslip seems to be a mirage, since...

Wild Bill Burton has given Bunker Hill another shot after getting rained out in June. The info on the event can be found at the link below. Bunker Hill Raceway is located just North of the Kokomo, Indiana area. Bunker Hill Buick Drag Night Bring out your Buick to play!!!

On our trip down to Bowling Green, my brother spotted one of the funniest names for a store (shop, liquor store, ????) that we could remember. We think it was called "Cock's Smoker's Cigar Shack" or something like that. It was right off of I-65 southbound lanes through Louisville. My bro...

My GN has developed a weird "fluttering" at the top of each gear if I'm at WOT. The interesting thing is that it only developed this condition after I installed my new Red Armstrong 107H race chip. His 100A (alcohol) street chip did not exhibit this condition. Both chips register minimal...

it's not feasible to use it? I've got a Walbro 340 that has been out of a tank for over a year and am wondering if I should be buying a new one instead. Any issues with the rubber parts getting hard and brittle due to being submerged in gasoline and then dried out? Thanks in advance for any...

Need to replace mine and the local Buick dealer cannot find the correct part numbers. The seal at the front of the pig is leaking and I'm not even sure if it's the correct unit for the G80 posi code that my car carries.
