A question for you ignition GURUs. I know this is not a Turbo Car but still is a Buick. A no spark condition and test several things so far. This car was towed to my house because it died suddenly, long story. Now, tried another type2 coil/module,(junk yard part) still no spark, no engine codes...

I'm in process of Restoring my Daughter's 86 T. Color change, Pearl Paint, very Straight Body, some new Innovations? I'll be removing all the trim of course so my question: drip rails, door trim (by 1/4 glass), all glass trim pieces, rear window, windshield trim is already off. What tool or...

I've always wanted to do this so this summer it will happen. Planning a AFF Jump with instructors guiding me through the free fall. It should be a blast to do. Whatcha Think. Gene PS. I'm an Old Goat to Boot!

I'll be stripping my 86 T this Summer to bare metal, smoothing dings, blocking prep, primmering with Epoxy Primer, and full paint. I don't want to use any water cleaning solutions because of surface rusting etc. Any painters on board that might have any suggestions. A white pearl coat color is...

After several years my tranny rebuilder is at it again. He built my last one for me probably 9 or 10 yrs ago? Not sure just when. My combo then was a 87 GN, TTA Crank, JE Piston, combo, ported iron heads, TE-45 turbo, CAS FM IC, ATR DP and dual exhaust. Ran the best of 10.90 ET at 121.57mph. Ran...

I'm considering building a stroker, 109 block, engine. This combo is a S/S car car so not too wild a combo. Costs? Engine Builders can reply also. Thanks. Gene PS. I like a lightened crank like a gun drilled model, "Scat" or other.

I'm wondering if you must lower the window glass or regulator to replace these outer felt window wipers. Reason; repaint and badly weathered. I'll probably remove the doors too to change the color somewhat. Different white? Anybody do this before or know for sure? Thanks. Gene

I know this has been asked before but a new replacement tank is needed. I know Vendors sell them but anyone using one of the new aftermarket ones? Does it have baffels? Thanks. Gene

I'm looking for a nice car in the Midwest Region. Not necessarily stock and a good street strip car might serve my purpose. Caged car, built engine and drive train is still OK. A/C working, maybe. Cash in hand to purchase, not a dreamer and knowledgable TR Owner. I have a rust free 86 T that...

I've just started into the gun/shooting hobby. Need some pointers to help me from pulling down to the left? (range shooting) My left eye is my dominant eye however shoot right handed. Eyes sometimes play tricks on me too? Double vision etc. Going for my multi-state conceal/carry permit. Own a...

I just saw an ad on this tranny in my current PHR Magazine listing this as built to handle 850 hp, an TCU with adjustable shift points, what a combo to run in a TR? I don't know the size (length) compared to a 2004R. (Also a paddle shifter option) Any thoughts on such a combo? Tranny expert...

I'm looking for this SB or others? Thanks. Gene

Some have asked about running this fuel in a TR. ATR actually built a car that ran in the 11's using it. (years ago for sure) I witnessed a chassis dyno pull on a 08 Dodge Charger Super Bee SRT 8. After 8 pulls; 78hp and 80 ft lbs of torque additional change over pure stock. I know this doesn't...

My OEM antenna is broken (stuck in the raised position). Any replacements yet? Power or not? I know the factory style one is obsolete. Thanks. Gene

I need a gas tank for my 86TT. I know there are aftermarket ones but worry about the baffels etc. Any thoughts? Gene

I see a lot of new Turbo and Injectors out there now. A good street strip combination is my need. I'm familar with the old style turbos and blue top injectors that's about it. All BB Turbos are new to me? Any suggestions. Thanks. GB

Out of touch on TR Tuning Scan Tools. Last used the old TL first version. Suggestions? Thanks. GB

I'm building a SS car, want to run a 200 trans & converter, need all the latest good stuff in the tranny. 10% strip use but making big HP, looking to run low 11's or better. No trans brake launches. Lock up or not? I've been away from the TR World for awhile. I know some savy tranny guys are...
