Hi folks, I'll be cruising along on the highway holding 128-130 BLM's and, all of a sudden, they'll drop straight to 115 and the car will stumble. Then the BLM's will slowly creep back up to the 128-130 (takes about 5 seconds). There is no rhythm to it at all, just out of the blue. It...

Hi folks, Let me start by saying my car is running fantastic other than: 1. A (what feels like a) slight miss at steady state speeds (125-128 BLM) 2. A little stumble when it comes to a stop (RPM's drop down and recover). When I come to a stop, idling and hot the BLM's are at 115...

Hi folks, Finally! Finances have come around and it's time to ditch the re-stalled D5 that's in my T right now. Unknown stall but I'm guessing somewhere around 2400-2600. Needless to say, it's WAY too tight for my combo. I've gotten three different stall RPM recommendations now and...

As of Sept. 7th, we're exempt from the sniffer. Only '96-later are going to be tested via the OBD port under the dash but, supposedly, '95-older won't have to pass! And it'll be done by your local repair shop, not the huge out-of-state company we have right now. I'm not sure of the...

Hello folks, My T died on me the other day. I am making my way through the no-start "tree" and have stopped on checking the voltage to plug P on the CCCI. It says it should be battery voltage but I'm only getting .660V. Checked the fuse, it's fine. Unplugged, reset and reseated the chip, no...

I drove my T to work today and to pick up my daughter at school. It ran perfect until about 1/2 mile from her school where it just quit. Like I shut off the ignition. I coasted to a side road and parked it. Walked to her school and called a tow truck. It will start BUT: 1. It does not...

Hi folks, I wanted to post a HUGE thank you to Eric for all his help recently. I've had his pump gas chip for a while now and positively love it. Installing the 4" Mass Air from FT, I ran into a sea of problems. Well, guess who steps up to the plate to help? Eric! He went out of his...

From placing my order, to asking tech questions to the shipping department every step the way was smooth as could be. The parts arrived amazingly fast. Speaking of the parts......top shelf all the way! I can't wait to get it all installed and feel 100% confident that if I have any...

Hey folks, I'm going to replace my front AND rear bumper fillers. ABS plastic scares me......are they any good? Fiberglass is VERY tempting. GBodyParts.com has some nice-looking ones. I'm open to other suggestions....Ebay sellers? Other? I'm not a tightwad but I can't justify...

Hello all, I am looking for a reputable place to re-leather the steering wheel in my '87 T-Type. I found this place on Ebay: eBay Motors: Buick Grand National,T-Type steering wheel, NEW LEATHER (item 190132730509 end time Jul-26-07 16:12:52 PDT) Anyone used them? The vendor is VERY...

I have a set of '84 T-Type alloy wheels for sale. They have light oxidation on them. Center caps are there, no lugs included. Tires are Weatherhandler 215/65R15 that are 95% or better. $200 for the set. Shipping would be a monumental pain in the rear and outlandishly expensive.

Hi folks, I am looking for a Clarion Model DRX7375 head unit owners manual. Is there somewhere with free downloads? I found one site and they wanted $16.00 for a download of the owners manual/pamphlet and delivery of the info is iffy. Sounds high to me, too. Heck, all I really NEED is...

Hi folks, I heard a tick of sorts under the hood the other day at cold start. Turns out it's a noticable tick coming from the cam sensor. I take it dying and on borrowed time? Looks like a relatively easy replacement? I imagine I'll pick up the Casper's sensor setter to do it...

Hi all, I am going to be be buying a converter for my 100% street '87 T in the next week or less. Heavily modified but also severely performance limited due to the stock converter the previous owner installed for "driveability". Please give me your converter builder feedback. If...

Hello folks, I had an EDGE street converter in a Ford AOD years ago and it did great. BUT I was wondering if anyone had used one in our beloved turbo 200-4R applications? Thanks for any and all input!

Hello all, Looks like my ATR wastegate has died. Day before yesterday I had consistent 15 lbs. of boost. Yesterday, it decided to go to 20 lbs.! :eek: Good thing I watch my gauges like a hawk! My question: Is there a direct bolt-in replacement for my 'gate? Turbonetics? HKS? I...

The T I just picked up was set up with a Red Armstrong 93 chip by Bill D., our local Buick guru. I have the original invoice from car's builder on the chip (NOT Red Armstrong's invoice, the shop's invoice). Invoice states: RA 93 Street Chip, w/special options No. F36093E Check out the...

The T I just picked up was set up with a Red Armstrong 93 chip by Bill D., our local Buick guru. The number in the paperwork I received with the car (and on the chip) is: F36093E Thing is, I found this chip in the console. Whatever is in the computer now is an octane sensitive, poor idling...

Hi folks, I just picked up my T Saturday. It has Nitto 555's on it right now and I'm in the market for some street-only tires. I have GNX 16" wheels-see the picture. Should I go 255/50-16 or 275/50-16? I don't want rubbing issues. Tire brands and style recommendations are WELCOME...

Sunday, Sept. 28th is THE DAY folks. Show "starts" at 10AM. BUT....I highly recommend you don't "drag your feet" getting there. Space will go QUICK. I plan to arrive more like 9AM. It sounds like it'll be HUGE. Chassis Dyno on hand! I heard $60 for three pulls. Turbo Regals come...
