    What's up folks ? Haven't logged in for awhile...

    Just figured I'd pop in and say "hey" to those I haven't talked to in awhile. Haven't logged in to the forum in awhile. Have I missed much ? :D I never managed to buy back my old GN... and wound up with a used Vette instead. So instead of leaving it stock and slow... I added a blower, intake...

    Looks like I'll be back in the Buick game shortly...

    I sold my GN almost 2 years ago to a guy in Oregon... It's changed hands again and is now in Tennessee... A few months ago the new owner tracked me down with a few questions. I gave him all the info I could recall, along with a bunch of old pics I had of the build. A couple weeks ago he...

    9-sec capable 87 GN For Sale SE PA

    Just testing the waters here... Selling this car is one of the last things I want to do, but I've been presented with a golden business opportunity and just can't pass it up. I may be able to get by without selling the car, but the funds from selling the car would almost guarantee business...

    Bouncing VDO Speedometer ??? ***VIDEO***

    I'm working on a buddy's GN... I just connected a Casper's VSS signal conversion module to send VSS signal to ECM and a tach module to run the cruise control. Electrically, that end of things seems fine. The Scanmaster is showing accurate and stable MPH, but the speedometer is bouncing up...

    VDO Speedo / electrical challenge... Need electrical advice.

    1kwikV6 dropped-off his GN today for me to take a look at some dash issues. The pics are how it looks right now, the way it came to me... Looking at the VDO instructions, compared to the Caspers instructions, I see different connections... It's currently wired per the VDO instructions...

    If it wasn't for bad luck...

    I'd have NO luck at all. :mad: I ran to Autozone this afternoon to grab a few gallons of antifreeze for the hotrods. It's been starting to finally get cold around here, so I figured it was time to dump the water. A couple weeks ago I pulled the lower rad hose off the Camaro sitting in the...

    Anyone ever fool with an MSD DIS4 ???

    It looks like a pretty slick arrangement if it actually works as advertised... I tried doing a search on "MSD" and got zip. It looks like it can activate a rev limiter on the transbrake and pull timing when nitrous is spraying. Anybody familiar with them ? and do they work on our cars...

    Development and Mfg advice needed on new Turbo Buick product...

    As some here already know, a few years ago I developed a 3 speed reverse shift pattern gate to use with a TH400 conversion and stock shifter... I made a prototype from scratch and had it copied and produced on a waterjet machine. It was a neat idea, but had a very limited market... Probably...

    TH400 pump noise...

    How much, if any is normal ? I just finally finished my swap to a 400... and on the maiden voyage,(approx 5miles easy driving) noticed some noise coming from the pump area once it got hot. I've never heard a noisey one before, except the old powerglides that were notoriuos for it. It sounds...

    Extra thick VC gaskets ???

    Does anyone make doublethick / extra thick valve cover gaskets ? or do I need to glue a pair together ? I'm using a stock cork gasket between my TA heads and valve covers... and apparently the support rail around the valve covers is hitting the gasket surface on the heads, not allowing the...

    How fast will a stock posi survive ????

    I think I already know the answer to this one... but I just wanted a few opinions. :D See sig for combo... I'm looking to race my car on the 29th down at Atco... and the last remaining weak link in my drivetrain is the stock posi unit. I have 28 spline Mosers already... So I'm at a point...

    Looking for a 9-sec builder and a quote...

    I have a buddy of mine that is looking at putting his GN into the 9's. He has a very low-mile car and wants to remove and store the original motor. He has some ideas, and I've offered my advice as well... from doing either a partial build for him, or having a complete motor from a...

    Any Moser dealers on the board ???

    I remember seeing a special package for GN 10-bolt rears that included a 33 spline spool, axles, wheel studs and C-clip eliminator kit... I can't remember where I saw it or who advertised it... but I will need to make this upgrade sometime over the Winter. I have 28-spline stock replacement...

    Neutral + Trans brake = Reverse ???

    Can someone explain to me why I need to put my trans in neutral and hit the button for reverse ? I was in a hurry when I picked up the trans and didn't have time to BS with the builder... The VB instructions clearly say NOT to use reverse or damage will result. I'm supposed to use neutral...
