Hello, My '86 T-Type tranny had a leak, I think at the rear seal, and I did not have time to fix it. So.... I filled it before I left for different trips, and it usually did not run too low. But, after one long local trip, the tranny started making a grinding/whining noise, and I think...

Guys, I have an earlier dual-nozzle, round bottle kit from SMC (2002 era). The car has sat a long time, and the alky system doesn't spray now. I have the bottle out of the car, and the pump out of the bottle, and when hooked directly to a battery, the pump runs what seems OK. The...

Hello, I have two different stock-style DPs, both with external waste-gates, one for ATR stock-style headers, and one for stock headers. Can these be used with ATR stage II stainless headers, if I convert the exhaust housing of a GTQ70 turbo to one with a puck hole? I have stage II...

WTB a complete maroon interior for my '86 T Type. Probably a long shot, but if you have one laying around, send me a PM. Prefer best condition possible. Thanks. John.

Are these blocks all siamesed, or are there water passages in a 3.8 and not in a 4.1 block? How far can a stage II 3.8 block be safely overbored and still keep good cylinder thickness (>.200)? Thanks. John.

For my '86 TType. Running stock headers for now. please email jcs64sprint@yahoo.com Thanks. John.

Hey, Not to open a can of worms, but I've been away from Buicks for a while and trying to get back up to speed. I am thinking of buying a DFI system for my car, and would like to start with what is the accepted favorite. I know there will be differing opinions of what is best, but I'd...

Please let me know what you have for sale. Looking to change complete interior color with as little trouble as possible. Prefer whole take out, or excellent pieces if available. Thanks. John. jcs64sprint@yahoo.com (978)925-5032

I am in the market for a car, and have seen some Limited's that have what I want, but they have the chrome trim packages that I don't like, and I definitely prefer the blackout trim. If I were to buy one, how hard would it be to change a limited to blackout trim? I would do it when I had the car...

I bought HR Parts kit to box upper and lower arms, and am about to have a welder do it. It all looks pretty self-explanatory, and he shouldn't have a problem. Main question - anything else to have done besides welding in the plates? I saw that some folks (Jim T) have also welded in a round piece...

I'm looking into buying a tranny/hurt motor combo, and trying not to buy junk. Considering the tranny, I was told it had been rebuilt at a cost of $2200, but without paperwork it's hard to know what to look for or believe. To tell if it is a brf tranny, I assume I have to pull the pan and try to...

I have the chance to buy a GN engine with a bearing knock for $500, and would like to get some thoughts. Engine is out of a 125K mile GN, and would be from intake to pan, no headers, and no alt. My plan is to girdle the block, new forged pistons, port the heads and do big valves, and try to run...

I am having a friend who is a mechanic at a GM dealership convert my peg-leg to an Eaton posi unit. He hasn't done this before, but is sure he can get it done right with the help of some of the other mechs at the shop. Are there any instructions or hints posted anywhere that I can give him so he...

Precision Industries announced they selling a kit with a 5-disc lock-up converter for the TH-400 tranny that has an automatic valve body and a transbrake. I have wanted something like this for a while, as even a built 200-4R will have trouble living at the speeds I want with a Stage 2 (high...

I just installed my dual-nozzle SMC kit, and everything went great. Car runs at 22 PSI with no knock, yeah baby. Presently I'm running Sunoco 94, but may try a lower (cheaper) octane gas. What will be the results? Anyone know an approximation of effective octane with different grades of gas and...

Does anyone know the combustion chamber cc's on new aluminum stage 2 heads and Champion or M&A aluminum heads? When I build my stage 2 for the street, I plan on running 9-9.5:1 compression. I have new stage 2 heads, and if I run them, I would have a minor clean-up of the combustion chamber (but...

Does anyone have the website for the guy that builds the killer AOD trannys that can handle high hp? Had it but lost it. My predicament is that I have rear disc brakes, and need to run a trans-brake tranny to be able to build boost on the line as the rear tires turn at 3lbs boost. I want a...

I am looking to buy some ATR headers to replace cracked stockers on a stock motor. The headers will eventually find their way on to a M&A headed 274 on-center stage II. My plan was to buy 3-bolt headers, but I have a chance to buy used 4-bolt headers. My car is primarily street, and I was afraid...
