I have a GN Clone project that I need to sell. This was my project, but I had to let it go. Now the friend that I sold it to has asked me to try to sell it for him. The body is an 85 regal, that has been blacked out. Decent paint, straight and almost rust free body. Red interior is faded...

Personal problems forced me to give up on my hotair project, and I have a few items left over. that I need to sell. 1. OTC 4000E scanner. comes with users manual, cables, and card for buicks. I purchased this from a member here a while back and never used it. I paid $80 plus shipping, so...

Regretfull I am considering bailing out on my Hot Air GN clone project. I have some personal issues and it looks like it will be a while before I can even think about finishing this project. I am interested to see what something like this would be worth and there is any interest. The body...

Ok it's not a problem with the buick, but I figured someone here would be able to help me. I have an autometer ultralite II pyrometer on my truck. It has recently started hanging up between 800 & 1000 deg. When I tap on it, the needle will drop to where it should be. Are these gauges...

I haven't been around in a while. We had a baby in Jan. so the buick got put on the back burner for a while. I'm starting to get setteld into life with a baby in the house, so I'm back to trying to get my engine back together. With any luck I should be dropping the heads off at the machine...

I bought a NOS Turbo 6 intake emblem from ebay, and waws wondering what the best wat to attach it would be. It has just a plain metal backing. I was thinking maybe some RTV. Any suggestions? Thanks.

I just bought a hot air up pipe from Fyrlt67. He is a pleasure to do business with.

I'm collecting parts, getting ready to send my heads to the machine shop. I was searching for recommendations on valve seals, and found a thread about using TTA Valves. I think I have it figured out but I'd like some confirmation that I am going in the right direction. 1. Buicks don't use...

I'm getting ready to order valve springs and was wondering if I should go ahead and get new retainers and locks. I have a lunati cam pn# 32508. I'm ordering the springs and lifters that lunati's website recommends for this cam. At the risk of sounding cheap, should I go ahead and spend the...

I have my intake stripped, prepping it for paint, and I realized how much cleaner it would look with out the EGR. I have searched and I can't find any detailed info on deleting the EGR on a hot air. From what I can see all I need is a block off plate, a plug for the whole where the pipe goes...

I'm gathering parts to get my motor back together. When I pulled the front cover I found a spring and black rubber piece that appear to be a cam button. From what I understand most flat tappet motors don't have cam buttons, and they are ususally only found with roller cams. Does the 3.8 come...

Does anyone now how the cam specs on a carbed turbo motor compare to an SFI hot air. Thanks.

Some of you may have followed my engine problems, but to sum it up I have a 20 bolt OP hot air motor with a wiped out cam lobe 2 spun rod bearings and 1 spun main that locked the motor. The block and cranked should be salvagable with some machine work. I've got a complete carb turbo motor...

Some of you may have followed my thread in the general section and are familiar with my problem. Long story short, I spun a main bearing. The bearing only moved slightly but it was enough to keep the motor from cranking. The crank isn't gouged or anything to bad. I'm on a really tight budget...

I will be pulling my motor out in the next week and have a few questions. Where is a good place to hook the chains for the hoist? I need to pull the motor and trans together, can this be done with the core support still in place?

I changed the plugs and wires the other day, and after I did the job the car wouldn't turn over. I charged the battery over night, and still nothing. The starter engages but it won't spin the motor. Tonight I tried a new starter and it did the same thing. I hooked jumper cables to my...

I was crawling around under the car last night, and noticed that the way the TV cable is routed just looks akward. Does anyone have any pics or a good description of how the cable should be routed?

Does anyone know where I can find a new oil drain tube grommet. I've looked at a few vendors websites and can't find one. When I swapped turbos this weekend I realized that the grommet was no good. I found a PCV valve grommet in the HELP section at the local parts store that kinda fit. I had...

Please disregard, I posted in the wrong section

I recently purchased a used turbo from thewoodieb. I was completely satisfied with the transaction and would buy from him again.
