MGNTA based out of Lakeville I'm also from MN. I recomend you join the Minnesota Grand National T-Type Association. Lots of good info and support. Tom Shea is the president. PM me and I'll send you his email. I also assume your looking for an engine rebuild. I rebuilt my turbo motor...

BW jones, from my short experince with center caps I think your right. Which explains why mine were stolen, even by a fellow Buick guy:mad: . 278cikiller, PM sent. I am interested.

Hey thanks, I will give it a try. I'll do some digging to find a part number, sometimes the parts man dosen't want to waste his time looking.

Need center caps (all four) for my 84 stock GN rims. Someone stole mine off my car while it was in my shop! Sad part is it may have been someone I trusted..... Any condition as long as their not broken. Don't mind putting some time in cleaning and or painting. Thanks

no, I didn't try with out the air filter. That was a strange. These cars can be so goofy. Who would have thought it was your clean air filter?

This is Strange... :smile: After the last post, I went back out noticed the BLMs around 115 at idle. Moved FP from 43# to 40# no real change in blms, went to 37# BLMs went 121, couldn't get pressure down anymore. Reved up the engine, no stumbling!! Couldn't get it to stumble! Took it down the...

I thought I had the problem licked, cam sensor was 180* off. Set it right, car still has issue. Switched TPS with a known good one, no change. Voltage increases with throttle, 3000rpm .95 volts. Chip from TT has not showed up yet. What is the normal lead time on on of these? Ordered mine...

at7we2, I'm sorry you've had car trouble this long. I may end up getting a powerlogger also. Thanks for the suggestion. This problem isn't intermitten, more consistint on how you run the throttle, and stumbles every time it is put into a load. Alaskabuick, the cup is fine, leg not broken...

I checked the head gaskets again, this time with an combustion gas tester. Nifty little kit. Test was good, (ran the test three times). I'm now confident the head gaskets are fine. I haven't seen the chip from TT yet, ordered Monday, don't know if it will help or not, at least I'll have a...

Maybe I'm wrong??? Had my neighbor stop over to get a second opinion on the head gasket. He brought with a test gauge to put on the radiator. Gauge went to about 9psi, (with engine warm) and fluctuated to about 5 psi. Took the gauge off didn't see any bubbles, except when engine is idles a...

GN owner, your reasoning could be correct. I still plan to replace the chip with a TT. Thanks

Head gasket I have tiny air bubbles flowing in my radiator. Must be a head gasket. I didn't see the bubbles before when this problem first occured, (and I looked for them) and with the solid compression check i dissmissed the head gasket. Looks like I have a big job ahead of me. thanks...

b_rich, I haven't got this fixed yet. Haven't had the time in the last few days. Hopefully today I'll be able to do something, not sure what to do. Anyone have any advice?

Spoolfool2, the engine tries to rev up, but the sputtering won't allow it. Doesn't kill the engine, engine will idle back down when I let off the throttle. Just have a scan master, ver.2.1 Duplicating the problem in park, with a quick "stab" to the gas: 02-varies, 200-700 (when...

YEP I say this even with the recent problems I've had. Before I restored my car, it provided me with 9 yr's of reliable and fun service, at good fuel milage. And the cops didn't notice a BE-wreck, but they sure noticed the F-bodied cars, but....that's also true with the chicks.... I...
