    Write up on a couple of things I bought...

    I got this to control my TCC lock-up since I retro'ed the electronics to a 1980's style. The original 1981 electronics that came on the car had the ECM practically controlling everything. The draw-back with that was that it gave me no ability to tweak...

    Hey Doc, you still got any old Qjets hanging around??

    Actually all I want are a couple of Qjet throttle plates with untampered primary shafts. I screwed up a couple, (my eyesight is no longer what it used to be). Don't matter what numbers or linkage. As long as they are within the late 70's through 80's range. I don't care if they're worn I can...

    Need another recommendation...a mechanical oil pressure gauge..

    Finally my electronic oil pressure gauge gave out. Not happy, (not much use out of it). I don't care if it's the sending unit or the gauge it's electronic and untrustworthy on longevity. I need a good mechanical one. PSI's should max about 100. Any suggestions guys...thanks!

    Mini-starter recommendations please...

    Just attempted to start my car again and heard a god awful clank and grind noise and the starter dragged to a stop. Thought it was something simple in the starter. I lifted the car, slid under and behold I see the aluminum starter nose cracked straight through toward the gear stop. :eek: Well...

    Has anyone had experiance with SS braided hose?

    As part of an ongoing project I need more room by the turbo and down-pipe. The OEM tubed heater hose unit is always in the way and I want something flexible. I'm thinking the reason why the tubed heater hose unit was engineered this way was so that rubber hosing won't come in contact with the...

    'L' shaped water pump bypass hose...

    These bypass hoses will fit dead on, (and don't cost much), on any one of the 3.8/4.1 engines up to 1983 that is using a 4.1 intake or thermostat housing: Dayco #70001 Advance Auto Parts: Curved Radiator Hose by Drive-Rite - Part A70001___ Hose (Bypass) | 1982 Buick Regal 6 Cylinders 4...

    Retro'ed Serpentine??

    What serpentine drive can be retro'ed to work on the older 3.8 engines. Is it possible? I have the old carbed engine and I'm assuming the front timing cover is the same as the later V-6 Buicks, (short of the cam or crank sensor). A few pullys and a tensioner....I'm I over simplifying it? Is it...

    Rear Main seals...how to....some help..

    I did this once before but I forgot. I've got KB Viton end seals and the Fel-Pro full kit. It comes with these long nails....whatever are they for?? Which ones would you use? The Fel-Pro end seals are firm rubber, the KB's are soft viton. I'm doing this on my back side with engine in vehicle...

    I'm no machinist but....

    Well I was a pleasantly surprised when I disassembled my engine today but I was also a little disappointed. I found nothing wrong. That's the good news, bad news is I bought new exhaust valves thinking I was still using the original 'oil-stepped' Buick exhaust valve and I was'nt, (memory loss is...

    Tuning nite-mare...

    I threw in the towel. Waved the white flag. Hasta la vista babe. It'll have to wait for some other ocasion. And it's all because I have other jobs to start on. I retro-ed my Buick to the 1979 old school version. Disconnected the ECM/EST and went with a vacuum controled HEI distributor and...
