    Need pix of your Walbro Fuel Pump set up please

    My fuel pump went out about 2 months ago. I just pulled the tank and removed the Walbro 255lph f/p. I already have the hot wire kit installed on my car but I did notice my fuel level gauge never worked correctly. When I pulled the assembly, I noticed there was no "float" nor arm for the fuel...

    Will a higher octane make that much of a difference?

    To bring everyone up to date, got my car out two weeks ago to start driving it. I have put 800 miles on it in 5 years and 200 was driving it home when I bought it. Never had a problem with timing retard, in fact, I had not noticed a bigger number than .3 or so and I have run it at the track...

    Just over 800 miles on motor and shot!?

    haven't been on in a few years. I was thinking if I don't talk about it, I will forget about it. Well, several weeks ago I got my 86 GN out. With the breakdown of 4 cars in the last two weeks (talk about luck) I was forced to put my GN on the road for the first time in 5 years. I...

    GN's in the new Fast and the Furious movie!

    My wife logged onto the internet this morning. Our homepage is set to myspace and when the screen came up, there was a movie trailer advertising the new Fast and the Furious. She happened to see a Grand National in the clip and immediately she came and woke me up to tell me. It was like...

    MAF installed backwards, any reason why?

    I've had my GN for 4 years now. I want to start driving it some on a regular basis. I have done nothing to it but change the oil and replace batteries. I've only put 400 miles on it and 210 was the commute home. Anyways, I bought a cold air kit and while installing it minutes ago, I...

    Automatic Gate Opener

    Anyone ever had any experience with an automatic gate opener? I have a single gate that swings open. I need it to be powered by 12v DC (car battery). I used to see one like this on ebay, but now I don't. It is too far to dig for a 110 AC (house current), plus my hinges are on the opposite...

    Support Turbo Buick magnets

    Everyone has seen the support magnets all over the place. Well, I was at Spencers a few months ago and bought "Support Strippers", Support Badgirls, and Support Lap Dancing. Well, the "newness" wore off and I wanted something different. I was getting me some new GN shirts printed at my...

    Carb adjustment maybe?

    I've gotta 85 Regal 3.8 V6. New plugs, wires, dist cap, ignition coil, and carb rebuild and a new TPS sensor. When I rebuilt the carb, I know I didn't get it adjusted right b/c it would not run with the primary choke on it. When I took the primary choke off, it had a really rough idle when...

    Anyone got a diagram of a Rochester 210 Dualjet carb?

    I took my carb apart and now I have one left over spring and the little ball. The diagram in the rebuild kit is garbage, as the lines didn't print well. I didn't even realize there was a ball in the carb until it fell out, now I can't figure out where it goes back. Anyone got a link to a...

    We can all appreciate something like this...

    I was fortunate about 4 months ago to run into a guy on ebay that had some parts for sale. I drove to his home after a few conversations over the phone, and picked up those parts. BTW, the parts were just as described and at a price I could not resist. He even gave me some parts that I...

    alternator charging problems???

    I have an 86 GN and an 85 regal with v6. I have the same problem with both cars. A new battery, a good alternator (13.8-14.1 volts) but the battery will not charge. Garyk1970 helped me with the 85 by running a wire from the alternator to the fuse box and I had to put a diode in it. I never...

    Power seat not working...

    I didn't see a forum for electrical, I hope this one is OK. I have the factory installed drivers side 6 way power seat. It just stopped working. The motor "runs" but it doesn't move the seat in either direction. I haven't taken it out yet, b/c I am waiting for my hog rings to come in so I...
