    Hi Eric, my name is Tad and I recently placed this order, number 12263. I wanted to add on additional detail: can you program the chip so that the check engine light does not come on because of a disconnected/removed wastegate solenoid? Thank you!

    Help me choose a MAF sensor!

    Im posting this because after a lot of searching on the forum, I need to just ask to get the answers I'm looking for. So I've had my '87 GN in storage for several years, and I am putting in a mad effort to drive it on the road before salt gets laid down here in Michigan. Before I put it away...

    Where to find 1987 GM parts catalog? 44w, paper or digital!

    Hi guys, I'm trying to find a GM parts catalog that would cover my 87 Grand National. I've heard of the "44w catalog" that are very hard to come across. Has anyone converted that into digital format? Is it available from someone in a PDF format or CD-ROM or something else? I'm looking for part...

    Has anyone seen fiber optic turn signal option on g-body?

    I was curious if anyone has ever seen the fiber optic turn signal indicators that sit on top of the fenders on one of our cars, be it a GN or limited, or another g-body. They were common on older Cadillacs, and I had heard of it being an option on g bodies. Any pics or links or experience would...

    What kind of smoke are you seeing when turbo seals give?

    I just finished doing the headgaskets on the G.N, and I started it up, and the same white smoke that I saw before I did my heads started pouring out the exhaust. I originally did the head gaskets assuming the white smoke was coolant, but this was the only time in my life I didn't verify it...

    Have a stock open differential... what limited slip/locker would you recommend?

    The price is attractive on the Eaton posi. And then there is the whole business of axle spline count, it makes sense, if you are going to replace the differential carrier with an aftermarket one, you might as well upgrade to higher spline count axles, in our case, from 28 to 30. I know some...

    Have a stock open differential... what limited slip/locker would you recommend?

    I'm especially interested in the Detroit Truetrac (made by Eaton) Differential, that's consists only of helical gears and no clutch plates/wearable parts.

    Have a stock open differential... what limited slip/locker would you recommend?

    I have an 87 GN, that came without a G80 limited slip differential. With so many different ones to choose from, I hoping members can chip in about their experiences with aftermarket limited slips, and which ones work well, which ones are junk, etc. etc. My car spends 95% of it's time on the...

    Cylinder Head ARP Studs - Still easy to remove and install heads?

    I'm doing the head gaskets on my 87 GN, and the thought had crossed my mind to use some ARP head studs instead of the Felpro factory style torque-to-yield bolts. If I were to buy these, I have two questions: 1) Is it still as easy to remove and install heads with the engine in the car with...

    What would you guys recommend for valve springs?

    Yup, I actually replaced my injectors already, they probably only have 10,000 miles on em. I have heard of using Comp Spring 980-12, has anyone actually installed this on their stock GN?

    What would you guys recommend for valve springs?

    I'm doing the head gaskets on my 87 GN and figure I might as well replace the valve springs while I'm there, the car has 70,000 on it. What would you guys recommend? It's a 100% stock motor, stock cam, heads etc. Also, should I replace the retainers as well? Appreciate any input or...

    Lightning Rod Shifter, Complete and Ready to Install!!!

    I apreciate your input, but just so everyone knows, Hurst made a 3 speed lightning rod shifter, and a 4 speed lightning rod shifter. Mine is the 4, which is less common than the earlier 3 speed variations. This one, taken from an '83 or '84 Hurst Olds, is designed to work with the 4 speed 200-4R.
