I'VE BEEN LOOKING FOR A DECENT BUICK REGAL FOR ABOUT A YEAR NOW TO CONVERT TO A TURBO CAR.I HAD A 83 T-TYPE I BOUGHT AS A SALVAGE CAR AND REMOVED THE WHOLE DRIVE TRAIN TO INSTALL IN ANOTHER REGAL.I WAS HAVING A HARD TIME FINDING A DECENT REGAL THAT SOMEONE DIDN'T WANT 3 GRAND FOR IT,SO LOOKING...

sounds like fuel pump is bad.

I may have one,i'll look for ya.

sounds like you have a bad PCV valve.which would explain both problems.first the buzzing sound,they can have a small build up of oil deposits which over time can make the valve difficult to close which is done by vaccume.so while the vac.is trying to close the valve at idle the build up of...

ya fc227 helped me out,he may be able to help you,by the way fc227 if your reading this check should be there REAL SOON i mailed it on monday,thanks again

how much vaccum do you have at the carb?what type of cam are you running?are the floats adjusted right(dumping fuel while it's idleing?)

fc277 how much?

does anyone here have a spare turbo controler that they would be willing to sell?if so how much?thanks.

any one have a pic of vac.diagram for the carb and wiring diagram for turbo controler thanks.

15.7 STOCK? I DON'T KNOW ABOUT ANY ONE ELSE BUT I HAVE YET TO SEE A STOCK 231 IN A REGAL GO 15.7'S.MOST CARBED TURBO MODELS HAVE A HARD TIME GOING THAT FAST STOCK.NOT THAT A BLOWER WOULDN'T MAKE IT FASTER BUT 15.7'S IS MORE LIKE IT AFTER THE BLOWER IS INSTALLED.I STILL RATHER STICK WITH A TURBO.

welcome

sent you a p.m.
