Oh, to beat a dead horse. I've read the various threads, but I'm still not having any luck getting brake fluid to the rear brakes. (Fronts bleed fine.) The car sat for about 8 years, so I replaced the prop valve, rubber lines, rebuilt the calipers, and the drums - so the entire system was...

I was replacing the combo valve when I noticed a very slow drip coming from the shift linkage on the driver's side of the transmission (circled in green). Tranny_Drip by 87_TX_T-Type posted Jun 18, 2017 at 9:52 PM The source looks to be around the nut circled in blue. The corresponding bolt...

So now that I have the engine all together, it's time to tackle the brakes that have been sitting for 8 years. I tried flushing the system, but neither of the rear drums dripped a drop of fluid. After researching the prop/combo valve, I decided to pull mine to see if there was an obvious...

Getting closer to firing it up, but there are a few connectors I can't identify from my original pictures, and radius test isn't getting me anywhere. 1. This comes out of the pigtail behind the engine block under the ignition coil block. Shares pigtail with injector harness and coil harness...

I was priming the oil pump yesterday, and something caught my attention. After priming with a drill and priming tool for about a minute I was able to easily get oil to the rockers above cylinder 1,2, and 4 (front of the engine), but they remaining rockers were not getting the same "flow" of...

I've been told that the driver's side header has a tendency to leak over time. Since I had to pull it while taking off the heads, I gave it a closer inspection. Looks like there is a hairline crack developing along this weld. Probably not going to show up in the picture, but the circled...

So I recently installed the TurboTweak chip which eliminates the need for the EGR. What I can't definitively determine is what to do with the associated vacuum lines. (The EGR has been pulled and blocked already.) Right now I simply have a "jumper" vacuum line which links the vacuum block...

So I haven't had a chance to contribute much to the forum thus far, but I was hoping to add a little something since everyone has been so helpful. (By the way, this is my first attempt at powder coating, so this is NOT the end-all-be-all guide - just my experience.) While replacing the fuel...

In the process of refreshing my father's Regal Turbo, I found an errant vacuum line that I'm unsure of... It is the second to last vacuum line on the block, and per the vacuum block diagram it is supposed to go to the BOOST GAUGE SENSOR. 20170204_230938_resized by 87_TX_T-Type posted Feb 4...

I'm new here, so apologies if this is a silly question. If you've seen my other thread, I'm trying to start my father's 1987 Buick Regal T-Type. While digging around for information I came across the following stats that state that there were no T-Types built in 1987. Stats by 87_TX_T-Type...

First post to the forum, but I've already found some great information in the new owner thread. Anyway, I inherited my father's '87 Regal T-Type which has been in storage for about 6 years, and I recently brought it home to get it running again. He was the original owner, and took truly...
