    Nearly half of Buick dealerships sold back to GM - refusing the GM electric vehicle mandate

    As 2023 comes to an end, it is interesting to read nearly half of the 2,000 privately-owned Buick dealerships have accepted the voluntary GM buyout rather than be forced to invest in electric vehicle updates to their locations for sales/serivce as GM is forcing the Buick brand to be 100%...

    "New guy" identification....

    As I recall... the "new member" moniker was automatically assigned upon joining the forum. "new member" wording would remain until a certain number of posts / reactions were done or points reached a certain value. after a certain number of points / posts, I believe the "new member" wording...

    Rebuilt cam sensors with NEW caps

    Cheers, gentlemen. Been reading various folk's questions across the different forum platforms of recent. It's pretty cool the OP has some NOS Magnavox caps stashed away to pair with the cam sensor drive units just freshened up. Casper's notes on the product page that the LED cam sensor cap...

    Rebuilt cam sensors with NEW caps

    Guy, PartsGeek will send you a cap with the LED. Catalog pics for on-line parts are not updated regularly. And most will call the LED cap a functional equivalent, so no updated pic to actual product. PartsGeek is a website only reseller. They have no inventory on-hand, no warehouses. Their...

    Stalling at idle (D) with foot on brake

    Lots of odd things or "gremlins" can appear if the electrical system is not supplying the correct > 14VDC when engine is running. One example I saw while bench testing coil paks and ignition modules. At lower than normal running voltage, spark intensity from coilpak is odd. Using Casper's...

    Oil Pump Locked Up

    found what I mentioned in post #5 regarding aftermarket timing covers having wrong casting/machining for cam sensor geometry causing the cam sensor gear to be destroyed quickly. Buick Grand National Tech f*book group - Sean C. posted on January 3, 2023 and January 11, 2023. Scroll for those...

    Oil Pump Locked Up

    Bison, either on his business' facebook page or the tech page he and Steve K. run, posted a video not that long ago that seems to cover what you experienced. Some of these China-sourced timing covers have the bore for the cam sensor not cast / machined correctly. it's eccentric or off-axis to...

    another 109 block gone

    I learned a lot from Dickie DiBiasse and his shop (now) Darkhorse. If the pdf attached below, it's a good read how more than 60 years ago, Dickie took a 283 'vette block out to 468 cubes for his altered. Sleeving and block work might make folks eyes open wide but not a big deal to keep an...
