Who is burning chips for Buicks now. I have an old Testa chip and want to upgrade.

I am from Pa. and had Vince Janis in Ohio rebuild a transmission. I would recommend him to anyone. The price was reasonable and the transmission is flawless. Bruce

I run Sunoco purple all the time and have not had a problem. You only checked one plug, one of the others may be fouled by lead. Bruce

I run a heated 02 sensor and I just buy one that would fit the old Mustangs. I believe it is late 80's early 90's. I get them for around $35.00 and just make my own 12 volt supply. Bruce

Sounds like the cable may have broken.

I have been buying NAPA Gold filters and if you look on the box they are made by Wix. I can tell you on another car I have with 32,000 miles I can tell the difference in the color of the oil at 3,000 mile oil change. It looks much cleaner with the Wix filter. One day I was lazy and did not want...

I copied this from a thread I answered a few weeks ago. A simple spark test is to get a spare spark plug unplug one of your plug wires plug wire onto spare and be sure it is grounded on the engine (spare plug) and have someone crank it over and see if you have spark. Do you have a fuel pressure...

How do you finally get it to start? One thing you may try when it happens is to tap the starter with a hammer. If you have a bad spot on the armature or worn brushes this will usually let the brushes make contact again and it will start. If this is it replace the starter? Bruce

Is the controller sold?

I made many rod changes at the drag strip on a hot engine and it was nothing to do. I used an alligator clip instead of the clip and that was a big help. Now I have A Bst electronic boost controller and all I need to do is turn a know while sitting in the car. The controller is very accurate and...

To do this you will a few upgrades such as a new fuel pump, adjustable fuel pressure regulator, a boost gauge that reads correctly as you cannot go by the factory gauge, and a scan tool. I would probably want a knock detector too so if you are not paying attention you get a visual/audio warning...

I have owned my GN for 12 years. When I bought the car it was 100% stock. The only thing I did before I went to the track was install a Walbro fuel pump and buy turbolink. I then went to the track multiple times and got the car to run what it was supposed to stock. My next upgrade was the ATR...

Thanks, all the stock hardware including shield bolt up so it must be a 49 or some variation. Bruce

Can anyone tell by these pictures if this looks like a TA 49? Years ago I bought the turbo and it needed some work one of which was a new wheel on intake side. I bought a wheel and shaft from another person that assured me it was a TA 49 wheel and shaft. I took it to a shop near me that...

If you think the starter or alternator is shorted you could disconnect the wires from each and see if you still have the spark. If you are going to check this way (look for a spark) get a 15 amp fuse and connect a piece of 10 gauge wire to each blade. Connect one end of this wire to your...

On a stock unopened engine what is the psi limit for this turbo?

Have you tried to find a stock BRF transmission lately. I am telling you would pay almost $500.00 for the valve body alone. I have never dealt with Bison but I know people who have any they said is 100% honest.

If it was mine I would install it just to see if the engine runs correctly. If it does I would get a new push rod if only for peace of mind. Bruce

Do the basics, don't just throw parts on it. A simple spark test is to get a spare spark plug unplug one of your plug wires plug wire onto spare make sure it is grounded on the engine (spare plug) and have someone crank it over and see if you have spark. Do you have a fuel pressure gauge under...

Is part number 4667489005 a Ta 49 turbo? Bruce
