    Complete Listing of Hose Sizes...

    Right in front of me. Thank you. Couldn't see it laying on my back under the car in the dark.

    Complete Listing of Hose Sizes...

    Trying to make sure I have charcoal canister vacuum lines correct. Kevin measured the vacuum line to the tank as the larger vacuum line and solenoid the smaller. I have vacuum with check valve going to solenoid and vacuum line to can going to fuel vent line from tank. This seems to be...

    Hypothetical Questions........

    I have to admit Hurricane Michael was devastating and thankfully I was minimally affected. I'd never seen anything like it, stayed through Ivan, evacuated for Opal, but seeing Michael makes me think about retiring elsewhere. Unfortunately the number of non-thinkers and people with sun-burned...

    Hypothetical Questions........

    Personally I would just show the receipt and be on my way. The other option could be to ask them to accompany you to the return counter and return everything (receipt needed of course) and ask for your money back. More time, but would probably get your point across. Unfortunately there...

    Why do I have oil here ?

    Was going to ask what catch can you recommend, but see there are already a lot of posts. I have an Elite engineering on another vehicle and like it, but it is a little pricey - guess that is a downside.

    Why do I have oil here ?

    What catch can do you recomend? I have an Elite engineering on another car and pretty pleased with it. http://www.eliteengineeringusa.com/ A little pricey, but seems well made.

    Is this normal?

    Sounds like you have worked on F-4 fighter jets. The joke was always if it ain't leaking it must be empty.

    Is this normal?

    Yes these cars leak. I have a pan under mine on the garage floor. I just accept a little leak, Welcome to the Dark Side. These cars can be about the most frustrating money pits you can drive, but sure are fun. Good luck. Read, learn and proceed cautiously. What mods does the car...

    killed a trans am and thought I killed my motor

    Finally another kill. Thanks for posting. Like to hear success stories with our Buicks. Once upon a time, I took the spring out of old hose (Ford Granada) and reused it in new hose that didn't have one. Have to look at spring and see if reusable, but sounds like silicone hose is the way to...

    Is this normal?

    1986 BUICK GX1. Never thought about loosening body mounts and trying to center up that way. I did change out original body bushings way back and thinking it is about time to do them again. Had to do the radiator core support bushings last year to get doors to line up with fenders - front end...

    Is this normal?

    The rear axle was definitely not centered under the car on mine or my friends when we got them. I just looked at mine and kind of tight to see it in garage, but mine looks to be over towards the passenger side too, so I'd say that is a true statement. I have 275/50R15 drag radials and they...

    Another “Street” vs DR thread

    Doing ok, had Buick out for our Sunday cruise last weekend. Think my accumulator ball is dying/dead. Been flashing the light a while, but a little scary the other day, hate to get going too fast if I can't stop. Need to get it fixed and start driving it more now that it's a little cooler...

    Another “Street” vs DR thread

    Gorge, How's it going? Good to see you back on the board. Hard to beat the M/Ts, but 600 miles a month minimum you might be going through some tires. Always heard the the Nittos weren't as good, but could go 10-12K miles and were much better in the rain. I'd be worried about rubbing with...

    gave an Audi TT a taste

    just curious what others use. I've been using Lucas SAFEGUARD Ethanol fuel conditioner with stabilizers or Fuel Medics gasoline/Marine medic fuel treatment. I've also used stabil over the years, but haven't tried 360 yet. I keep some fuel available for generator in case we lose power - pesky...

    gave an Audi TT a taste

    Pretty cool - time for us Floridians to play. Our turn to have some fun with our toys in the cooler weather. Glad you got it out and had something to post. Reminds me of why we bought these cars. Had mine out a couple times lately, but no encounters to report. It's been a while since much...

    Help In Tallahassee

    Bandit 395, I'll PM you, I'm in FWB about 200 miles away, but my GN hasn't had a trip in a while, and doing a good deed will give me Karma for it making it without incident. I'll PM you for address and any other details.

    Re-locating to Northwest Florida

    Good, Gorge1087 is in, so looks like 3 GNs if you can make it. I invited Lark from Crestview, but haven't heard back yet. Not sure he is on forum. Maybe somebody else will show up and surprise us for a decent turn-out. Weather should be Sunny 58 degrees on Sunday morning, it doesn't get much...
