When hot, which oil is thicker- 20W 50 or SAE30?

I don't read this message board very often, I didn't know you had posted anything. Yes, I am the one who raced you last month. You don't normally see ladies owning a Buick Turbo. Find someone who knows about these cars and they should be able to fix yours right up. And your right about a...

I have a decent '84 T-Type I would like to sell. Blue, blue interior. 125,000 miles, KB headers, KB converter, KB cold-air kit, new '87 coil conversion, FP reg., starter, reblt turbo, not sure what else. Front seat, drivers side starting to come apart, could use a new headliner at some point...

Off of a T-Type turbo Riv. '82 or '83, Q-jet. Ran good. $70? need any other early turbo parts? reno1@continet.com

'82 or '83 ? Anyway, I found a Riv T-type carb'd parts car if someone is looking for parts. e-mail reno1@continet.com

I get 23-26mpg steady highway driving @ 65mph. Also, 19-20" vacuum at idle (Park).

I "over-modified" the FP regulator. It now has 80#'s at an idle (whoops!). The fix was to replace it with a new one. Have a Good Holiday, WR

Thanks for all the replies, it is now fixed.

I just installed another FP Regulator. Every time I installed it (7 times) , it leaks fuel. I dabbed a bit of grease on the new o-ring, still no good. Is there a better method? I have a Ford repair tool (sledge hammer) that I could use, as well. The fuel is leaking at the inlet port to...

'84 T-type, my second one.

I appreciate the advice, but the idle is good. It just doesn't like to have the throttle blade opened. It appears to have a lean condition throughout the whole rpm range, even in Park with no load on it. If I give it full throttle at an idle, it hesitates, bogs and slowly will rpm. The...

Oh yeah, it has a fuel pressure reg, it seems non-adj. It holds fuel pressure for about 20 minutes after being shutoff. The car also idles fairly smoothly with 20" vacuum. However, it won't start without giving it some throttle while cranking. It used to fire with a twist of the key...

I've not been in the boost, yet. It's my wifes car and it just started to run poorly. I replaced the coil which made a huge difference. At least it starts now. But it runs too "lean" (or ?) to enjoy driving it. Once it upshifts, it starts to fall on it's face again and this is while...

I have an '84. It has KB headers and no cat. It seems to run lean- you whack the throttle in Park and it hesitates. Throttle response is so-so. If it hard a carb, I would know where to head. 38#'s of fuel pressure, unplugged, at idle. I don't have thousands invested in scanning...

Power Injection- I wander if that what this is: When looking around under the hood when I first got it, I found what looked like a water injection system. It's an electric valve or pump mounted under the MAF bracket with a hose coming out of the device into the area in front of the MAF...
