    Fuel tank relief to canister

    Seen many talk about fire as a result of removing canister and many say no problem at all. Has anyone done it this way and is this good enough for filtering out the fuel vapors? I smell nothing at all and expect it is different for everyone, just wondering others opinions.

    Curious about value

    A 1987 Gn in 87 was $16,617.00 according to Motor Trend http://www.motortrend.com/news/1987-buick-regal-grand-national-first-drive/ A 1987 dollar today due to inflation is about $2.10. So a GN today would be $34,895.00 I imagine an untouched low mileage (0 - 200) would be worth a bit more...

    This casting appears to be a RWD 1983 3.8L from a Riviera according to gnttype.org It is a "turbo" block and still has the turbo attached with heads and such. Are these significantly different from say the 84-85, 86-87 3.8's that were in Regals? It is local to me and cheap. There isn't...

    1986 GN in Georgia

    I have found a 1986 GN in Georgia. I wanted to go check it out but the seller says it is a bill of sale car only. I do know in Georgia that cars "built" in 1986 and newer have to have a title. This car being an '86 was probably built in 85. Do any members that may be from Georgia have any...
