Thanks guys! After rereading my post I realized that I actually answered my own question. I put the cam sensor in with the engine at TDC instead of the mark on the balancer that I used when I last had it apart about 8 years ago. I took it out, brought the engine back up to TDC on compression...

I just changed the timing set on my 85 GN(converted to 87 IC). It just turned 50K miles so this was PM. It appears everything went back together as planned. I used a chain and gear set from TA Performance, aligned the gears "dot to dot" with the engine on TDC on compression, installed the new...

You think you guys hear it, when I'm in my LeSabre GN I get some funny looks and an occasional "why did you put Grand National badges on that car". I tried explaining a few times, now I just say "it's my car and I like it this way".

Think tomorrow I'll pull the chip and send it to Eric and have him check it out. Better to play it safe rather than just start poking things together to see if anything dies!

That's pretty much what I was thinking happened. I hope it's just the ECM and not the TT chip and PL. I will try a new ECM with a spare chip I have, if it runs I'll try the TT chip and if it still runs I'll install the PL. Thanks for the reply.

Driving the 85 GN, car running perfectly, come to a stop light engine stutters just slightly and SES light flashes. Runs fine to the next light, again engine stumbles and SES flashes a couple times very quickly. Leave light go about one mile car stalls. Push to side of the road, turns over fine...

Starting a project. Have 109 block and heads. Need the following parts: Intake Fuel rail Fuel harness Ac / -alt bracket PS pump Harness ECM IC fan Inner cooler Ac lines Turbo oil return line Metal cooling lines (the ones that run along pass side valve cover) Serp belt pulleys. Would prefer to...

corrosion, base of the bulbs, inside the socket, connectors, etc. Very common problem with any 20+ year old GM car. I've use emery cloth, battery cleaner with a tooth brush then elect. contact cleaner. Also, while putting the cluster back in you can easily cause a bulb that had been...

Where you at in AL, I'm in Memphis. I did mine a couple of years ago. PM me and we can talk. Hugh

Don't really know why it bothers me so much, but I get pissed every time I see "Like a Grand National" in the title of a plain Jane Regal. I get it when referring to a non-GN turbo car because unless you have had some interest in these cars at some point you would have no reason to know that...

Right now there are two different eBay auctions going on for base Regals that are advertised as G.N.s. it just pisses me to see these idiots misrepresent these run of the mill cars as something they are not...

As TexasT says, it's the corrosion, take the cluster out and clean every contact. Also the bulb holders get corroded as well. I used battery terminal cleaner followed up with electrical cleaner.

Rick, it really sounds exactly like what mine was doing. My FP gauge showed 43 psi and I would hear the pump whine but it would not start on the first try when cold. Once I tried the new pump and new hose connecting it to the sender I've never had the issue again. Certainly don't blame you for...

Randy, short of having a crystal ball, we will not be able to help without more info. Do you have fuel pressure, do you have spark, what has happened since it last ran, etc. Will be glad to help but need to know where to start.

have you figured it out yet?
