They went where everything else for our cars went - into the hands of hoarders, where anything can be had, for a price...

Perhaps you trashed a plug wire? How much boost are you running? High boost will blow out the spark under a high gap scenario.

Timing is overrated. Boost gets you more. Be aware that a pump gas chip may not provide enough fuel for racing. Specifically, you may be experiencing knock due to a lean condition brought about by the low fuel injector duty cycle of a pump gas chip. 18 psi isn't much, excepting you have...

Why did I bother? LOL!!!

Yes, since you live in Detroit and don't have to suffer the shipping costs, by all means take your wheels to DVW. You'll end up with better than OEM wheels, which will have greater value to you, as well as to potential buyers should you choose to sell them in the future. You can also play...

I've just been through this. Before you start, be aware that the N89 alloys are factory coated and you will need to remove that coating in its entirety in order to achieve a satisfactory result. You can: 1. Strip the coating (Klean-Strip EAR322). 2. Spray on an etching wheel cleaner (Eagle...

Nick, TYVM!!! That is extremely helpful. Thank God for knowledgeable guys like you who take the time to respond. You make a perfect mod and I pray you NEVER leave the Buick community!

For the gauges of a center console, two gauge pod... Is there? Thanks for your experiences/suggestions, guys.

Not my cup of tea, but I'm happy ANYONE is making ANYTHING new for our cars...

Well, he ran 8.5's in the eighth on a track with zero prep. The car has run at least one 11.7+ in the quarter on a 49/Garrett housing and with a new 44/PTE housing since is perhaps capable of an 11.4 or 5. The build is lots of bolt-ons only. This particular night is a street night and very...

As a next step, he disconnected the middle relay, then reconnected it. On doing so, everything works fine. Go figure? He was able to race tonite. Thanks all, for your replies.

I am "restoring" a set of '87 GN wheels. They will be stripped to bare metal and powdercoated one color. Satin black or black chrome or ? Please provide your thoughts. TYVM! :)

The fan only runs on high speed. The ballast resistor rusted out a long time ago and was "jumpered". We'll try unplugging the low and high speed relays, one at a time, and see what happens. Stay tuned...

OK, so my buddy's fan just keeps running after the car is shut off, draining the battery. We unplugged both connectors to the fan delay relay (the bigger relay mounted to the left fender) - no luck! Any suggestions? He'd like to race tomorrow night and is a little discouraged, so any prompt...

Why not have yours (or some you'd buy that are imperfect) restored? There are folks who do this. Might be easier than locating (and paying for) a set of NOS ones...

Nick, Would you be using the 26X7.50/15, 8 ply? What are you running on the rear? I've been reluctant to use 26's up front as they seem so short, but I note many (a majority of the heavy hitters?) of Buick racers seem to use them and 27" tires are few and far between.

For those of you who run drag front tires, what is your combination? I am currently running 27.0x4.5-15 Goodyear Eagle Frontrunners with 28.0/10.5-15 Mickey Thompson ET Drags out back. I need a new set of fronts and am open to size and manufacturer/model. What are you guys running? Thanks...

BTW, the accuracy of a boost gauge is less important than its repeatability. Who cares if you blow your head gaskets at 28 PSI or 30 PSI, indicated? Either way you're pulling the motor.

Boost - Auto Meter 4303 Oil Pressure - Auto Meter 4353 Water Temperature - Auto Meter 4355 Knock - Casper's 102004 The above are examples of excellent gauges. Auto Meter has myriad choices of gauges/attributes. Casper's knock gauges feature various face and trim color choices. Refer...

Curious - what r u replacing it with?
