    Art Carr 200R4 confusion

    So when my original BRF broke ( no reverse) rather than do the right thing and get a CK trans, I bought a fully rebuilt fresh Art Carr Trans "out of a 9-sec GN". It was from a "friend" (not a GN guy in his defense) and half the price. The code read AA but it's got the billet servo, hardened...

    MAF to MASS swap on a stock car?

    I have a basically stock '86 (k&n stock airfilter, straight 2.5 exhaust, 2800 stall, Taylor 409's) and the car is pretty quick, but idle and off idle is meh. I have a basically new (20k mile) MASS off a '96 Impala SS. Is the translator and that MASS a good way to improve driveability? If not...

    WTB manual grey or GN seat bottom

    I want to change the wonky power seat bottom on my GN to a manual. I don't need a complete seat or upholstery if somebody has a really banged up seat. I just need a good base and grey side trim. It will be much easier and cheaper to ship as the lower only too. I'm in PA 18940...

    CSII door pod template?

    I bought a set of CSII door pods years ago on here, the grilles, speakers and the inner pods. I am in the car audio business, so I could just fudge mounting them...but I was wondering if templates exist to do such an install the "correct" way? Yes I will be upgrading the woofers with 90's...

    I'm putting my '86 back together after 16yrs and I'm not 100% sure where to hook all the vacuum hoses. Where does the vacuum port on bottom of the throttle body go too? Car is all stock gauges, etc except vacuum brakes. I was asking people on FB Magna page, but figured if somebody on here...

    as title states, I'm looking to buy a clean crossover pipe(since mine got lost?) or possibly a clean set of aftermarket headers with a crossover pipe? It's a semi-stock car, so I don't need racecar $h!t, but I wouldn't mind just going aftermarket instead of getting the originals welded and...

    FULLY built motor, 0 Miles ready to go!

    I have a brand new motor that I had built for my car. Not sure I want to go "full retard" anymore as I got into road racing and backroad bombing seems more appealing to me than a 10-sec street car. The engine was finished about a year ago and has been sitting in my climate controlled garage...

    Trade 86 GN "built" project for running nice 86/87 GN "stockish" in PA.

    I've had this car since 2001. Bought it off a (insert expletive) in Yardley Pa so he could fund his 70's Buick GS project. The car needed paint,body work but it had 67k. "Tim" wouldn't let me drive it on the test drive since I was a 21yo kid and there were lots of cops hiding in the bushes...
