I completely understand your issue. The Turbo Farm is in IL. Lots of knowledge/help there. As for IN not sure who’s around there. Unfortunately it’s a bit late now to find out why they blew now. You have no idea other than “mid boost”. I know I’m coming across as a dick, but you paid a lot of...

I’ve been following this thread, & have seen great info. That being said, the OP has not posted any info on WHY the head gaskets blew. NONE! I used the Fel-Pro’s to 25ish P.S.I. & had 0 issues. Going to Cometic’s will take away your fuse IMO. Now instead of the head gaskets blowing, you’ll be...

This numbnut DIDN’T add 150 H.P. with what he added. He’s also an idiot who has no ideas about these cars.

😜🥴😂😂. Thread is almost 6 years old……

No worries. Problem is you will get 1,000 different answers as people’s builds are different. You just have to decide where you’re looking to do with the car. Keeping in mind that more than likely it will be worth more if ya don’t mess with it too much. Lots of modified ones out there stock...

How aboot ya start your own thread? That way you won’t hijack this one.

I dunno. Maybe try various sockets you have & see what fits. Process of elimination. If one is too big go smaller, if one is too small go bigger. Voila!!

If I remember correctly, the round(concave) ones were for GN’s. The Raybestos version(convex) are for the Turbo Regals(Non-GN’s). As for NOS they’re rare as hen’s teeth.If you’re looking for some. If ya don’t mind aftermarket, you can find them.

Yes. I put a link in post #2.

For that amount, I’d go with a known entity. I.E. Pete or Richard. Then you’ll know you’re getting what ya pay for.

Not sure how easy it will be to find a rebuild kit. Post in the Parts Wanted section. Pete Hoffman is a GO-TO for the PM.....amongst other things. Also Richard Clarks Garage can also help. http://richardclarksgarage.com/ Keep in mind, a rebuild/parts for the PM will not be cheap. So...

No Cooper Cobras? I’d go black out since yo ride is black.

If ya use the search bar there's at least 6+ pages of posts about upgrading the brakes. Go trew those & pick out what works for ya. If ya don't like what ya see choose whatever set-up will work for ya. Not trying to be a dick, but this topic has been brought up numerous times.

No. You need vacuum to operate the different HVAC settings. The selector is vacuum operated & the blend doors are vacuum operated. If you have no vacuum it goes to default which is split between the floor & the defroster vents.

IMO you’d have to get it pretty cheap. Unfortunately hot air cars don’t bring anywhere near the money the intercoooled cars do. People do like to inflate them though due to being a “Turbo Buick”. That being said, if ya like it, get a good deal on it, & don’t have to dump a ton of money into it...
