Thanks WarWagon! Just got my 0-15PSI regulator to install, so we'll set it at 5.5-6!

I"ll take the Delco 8mm"s-

Not finding any Turb0-guru and turbo-specific info, what I've been able to 'glean from the interwebs' is either 4-5psi or 6-7psi. Seems that most seem to have a bit of a problem @9+ generically on these carbs. So there's where we'll start.

Current status: Limited space....

Were setting up an 80 turbo Buick swap into my son's 88 Ranger and while researching, I cannot seem to find the incoming fuel pressure needed for this carb. I know that the Ranger has a pair of electric fuel pumps, and we have deleted the high pressure (40 psi) pump from the system. It also has...

Thank you, JM! Likely going to do the EGR delete block-off solution for this...

This is what I've figured as well as my best/easiest option for now to get the project running.

the black part in the center below the carb to thew intake....

That looks like what i've found online....

Might you also have a square/rectangular tube EGR tower that goes from the Intake to the Plenum?

I'm looking for a source for a down pipe (or interchange info) as well as an EGR manifold and the wiring harness for a 1980 ECC box (The one that was in the dash through the firewall) in the 1980 Monte Carlo Turbo that was my donor. Not sure where these parts "went" as George Carlin would say...

Progress as of now:

I have both cranks and balancers for the 85 and 80 motors. Not sure what the Flywheel should be matched with- How do I tell which it is compatible with?

Thank you WE2Regal! I was not aware only the head bolts were torque to yield!! First time rebuilding a motor in 30+ years, solo, without my father's experienced & watchful eye over my shoulder. Guess I was being too cautious.

So, besides ARP, does anyone have a less-expensive source of Torque to yield Main Cap Bolts and Connecting rod bolts? GM has discontinued them. We're working with an 85 231 Block and Main caps, 80 Turbo rods and pistons. Doing a stock level rebuild on a 79/80 Draw Thru Turbo Buick and I've found...
