Hagerty and Yahoo Auto News rate the Buick Grand National, 3/18/2014. Correct forum for this post, maybe not. However, I know members visit this forum often and would find this informative. From the article by Rob Sass..."If you haven’t noticed, the classic car market is hot right now. The...

I took the same approach as 1fastcobra and joined the two pieces into one with fiberglass. I removed the overlap where the two meet in the center and then fiberglassed the seam to make one piece. Matt

Thanks to Moderator Gary! One quick change of one wire...changed head unit blue wire to blue wire on harness to blue/white (power control) wire on head unit to blue wire on harness. Thanks for savings me a lot of further headaches! Regards, Matt

I cannot get the power antenna to activate on my new head unit install, Kenwood KDC 255U. I am sure it is something simple that I am missing. Attached are two photos. One shows the wiring harness adapter. Please confirm that the orange/white, tan, blue/white and orange do not get connected to...

1. I am looking for a passenger side (see image), interior plastic piece that goes above the sun visor on a 87' t top Grand National. 2. I also need a driver side driving light, the one that is amber and located in the bumper. Help with either, or both would be greatly appreciated. I can be...

A little late to the party, but had to comment for future searches on this topic. All that is needed is a flat blade screwdriver to remove these escutcheons that are connected from the inside of the door panel. The screwdriver blade will lock against two of the nut angles, rotate, and this...

Hello rev. 3:11. You asked about how to install inside dew sweeps. I saw that you did not find any information on this last year when you asked. I am currently doing mine and am wondering the same question; how do these get re-attached? Can you help? mmarlett@conleynet.com Thanks Matt

Hello, Looking for a nice driver side parking lamp. Mine currently has a crack in it. I do not mind if it is used, just needs to be in good condition and capa ble of being restored with a good cleaning. The best way to reach me is at mmarlett@conleynet.com Regards, Matt

I have just completed stripping my enitre GN for paint; used both stripper and 80 grit on a DA. Of course, I had the usual checking in the paint covering the metal surfaces. However, the rear spoiler is made of fiberglass and easily sands out for new paint. On the fiberglass parts, I recomend...

Hello, Yes. My O2 numbers are much better with the chip brought back to 128. I have brought the chip parameters back to 128 and have O2's around 780-820. Going forward, I will be working on "tweaking" the tune. Thanks Matt

Problem solved. To conclude this thread, I want to thank all those who have contributed their help in diagnosing and resolving this issue on my Grand National. Obviously, there are many people on this forum willing to offer thier time and knowledge. I consider myself a rookie regarding my...

Well...the replacement pump sent to me by Type6 fixed the problem. Today I did the pump swap and took it the car for a spin. Wonderful!!! Now, for the first time, I can actually see what this car is capable of. How lucky am I; driving this car lean since the problem pump was purchased and...

169's huh. Confirming this would be nice to know. I have a hard time accepting our vendors, the part manufactuers would supply parts that fail right out of the box. I have always assumed it was me doing something wrong on installation, etc. Ttype6 is helping me with a replacement pump...

Thanks again for the insight! I did check all wires, harnesses and connections for signs of stress or corrosion. Everthing looks good. The hot wire kit was installed at the same time in put in the new fuel pump, spring of 2010. Since then the car has been in the garage and seen only 3-4,000...
