Agree mostly with above, but more conservative in estimate. I'm a self declared auto DIYer and have done lots of projects on my GN over the years including PMs, baer disks, drums, lines, etc. I spent a lot of time reading the forums and gathering information to include the steps on the...

Back under the dash...years later. See my favorite dangling orange wire connected to what looks like a capacitor mounted on the upper right part of the fuse panel. Attached an updated pic. I did find a pic of a fuse panel on the internet with it plugged into one of the BAT slots (under the 30...

Sounds silly, but when I yanked the hose off the brass pcv valve, it just popped onto the work bench. I didn't see what side it came from or what orientation it was in. As it stands right now, by brass PCV check valve" is just a tube - can see right through it. I thought these things were...

So I needed to replace vacuum hose to my PCV valve and when I pulled out the valve and went to my bench to replace the hose, out popped this little nipple with a o-ring on it. I assume it came from the brass pcv valve. How do I correctly put that back into the valve - don't want that thing...

vacuum conversion kit from Kirban vs kit from Master Power Brakes? Opinions?

Just for clarification on my PM problem(s): Got a brake light, pulled over and the fuse was blown. Put a new fuse in and as soon as I turned the ignition on, pop - blow another fuse. Went through troubleshooting in accordance with service manual (just like the steps shown on these threads...

My PM is done in. This was the second PM for the car. Not inclined to mess around again. She's mostly stock, but not 100%. I have bigger injectors and fuel regulator, plenum spacer, ram air, not much else to the engine itself. stock turbo/intercooler/cam/heads/etc. Looking at Kirban...

Thanks for the recommendations all. Time to make some phone calls....

I haven't been active in a while. No time to enjoy buick with work and kids the last few years. Only been starting/running every three weeks or so, occasional drive. Started her up today and pulled out into the driveway and when I pulled back in after running 6 or 7 minutes, she was pissing...

Well...I cleaned everything up...after I checked all the lines and even took of the M/cyl hose and the sump hose and cleaned them up real good and made sure they were properly secured; doubled checked the fluid level. Got in the car - brakes work fine, went through a couple cycles and checked...

passenger side (booster) is/was low. With ignition off, I pumped the pedal ten times and then checked the level - it was about a inch low on the scale on the inside of the reservoir. I think it had been seeping for a couple of days. I'm getting about a quarter size pool on the garage floor...

where does one get a brake pump motor?

I've got a slow brake fluid leak - few drops on the floor after a drive, wet undercarriage. Looking up from underneath - I see a couple of drops hanging from the bottom of the pump - so I assume the leak is coming from up there. area around the switch, accumulator, and reservoir are all bone...

Well, just to follow up with my original posting. I'm pretty sure it was the water pump (in my case). Replaced this weekend and I made a 50 mile trip (each way) today and no leakage. Granted it was in the 50s (maybe 60) and I didn't run into traffic, but it's a good sign that she held...

I think you're right. I watched the car last night for about 30 minutes after I got home - not a drop. Went out this morning into the garage - another pint of coolant - no dripping. I'm thinking as the seals contract after it cools down - it spits out the weep hole. I think that's the way...
