I am selling a used powermaster unit that I removed form my previously owned 1987 Buick Grand National. It worked great, I removed it to install an upgraded vacuum system. I cannot guarantee the current condition since this was removed several years ago. I am selling this as-is. Included is...

I am sorry to have to ask this question, but I also don't want to end up more stupid for not asking. I just put my motor back together after a blown head gasket and found this in the garage. I don't remember where it came from, relatively certain it was from the alternator/AC/power steering...

I am replacing head gaskets and found a loose connector, one that seems to have not been connected for a long time. It is a round connector with three female slots in the shape of | _ | The wires going to it are pink w/black stripe, yellow and gray. The wires run down the front of the...

I tried searching the forum but couldn't find an answer. I had my car painted and putting it back together. While I had it in pieces, I was able to lube up the three cables to the right mirror and now it operates as smooth as silk, what a difference. The problem I am having is that the...

I am in Northern Virginia and looking to have my 87 GN painted. I will be removing as many parts as possible to save on the labor, my $$ and the shop's time. Is anyone out there familiar with a good shop to deal with? Not looking for show quality, it will be a driven car, but want...

I finally got my car to pass VA emissions last night, but the car is obviously running very rich. I am going to go about fixing this in a logical manner, I hope, and asking you (the experts) for your advice. I have 1700 miles on the engine after being rebuilt by Ron's Custom Auto (New...

I have an idea that I would like to toss out for review. Soon enough, you will figure out that I am not an expert in transmissions, so I offer that disclaimer up front. I can hold my own in working on any mechanical device however. I recently had my 87 GN tranny rebuilt by a local shop. To...

I don't know about the rest of the nation, but in the Northern Virginia area, we are experiencing a change in fuel at the pump. I have a very good relationship with my local gas station owner and getting the skinny from him on the changes. The ethanol that gets added to the fuel acts as a...

It looks like the site is back online!

I am in the troubleshooting stages of trying to find the reason for Turbolink showing timing retard while accelerating under no load, in neutral. I can rev the engine slowly to 4200 RPM and get no indication of retard in timing, but get about 30-40 degrees retard when I rev quickly to that...

I have read the postings here and on the GNTTYPE site and found several instances that point to the CCC fuse blowing being the cause of the car to not start at all, which mine is doing. Every time, however, their car runs when they replace the fuse so no further information can I find...

I need your help, please. I have taken my 87GN into a local transmission shop, but not before I asked what I thought was pertinent questions, like "GN's are special, do you know how to work on them?" Of course I expected them to say yes, it was "how" they said yes that drew me in. But, I am...
