    Power door locks / interior lights not working

    I just had my '87 GN engine bay detailed by a local reputable car restorer. When I got it home, and tried the pwr locks, they didn't work. I located a fuse box diagram and found the 30 amp circuit breaker. Tested it for continuity and it worked. Then I noticed that my interior dome light and my...

    scary stuff

    Got a really bad headache on Wednesdy morning about an hour after I got up. Went to work anyway...not talking on the way in since I ride by myself, and went straight to my office to do paperwork. Still really hadn't said anything by this point. Went to my first meeting at 8:30 and...

    Looking for valve covers

    I'm looking for some stock valve covers in nice shape for my 87 GN. Mine are in rough shape and I'm debating whether to refurbish them but if I go that route, I need a set to get me by. Thanks!

    Any iRacers out there in TB land?

    I know that most of the racing enthusiasm with the TB members is drag racing but I was wondering if any of y'all out there are members of the iRacing simulation. I ask because it might be fun to setup some online sessions if anyone is interested. If you aren't sure what iRacing is, it is a...

    Vaccum line feeding the climate controls

    I'm trying to trace a vacuum line problem to the climate controls but cannot locate where the line goes from the engine bay into the car. The controls aren't getting vacuum so the defrost is perpetually blowing and the vents wont work so I'm trying to trace it back underhood. Thanks!

    Squeal at high revs

    Sorry if this has been posted before...I didn't find any that exactly matched my situation. I just got my '87 GN out of storage yesterday and after checking all fluids, took it for a ride. The motor / trans is completely stock with 90,000 miles. When giving it WOT, a loud shriek comes...

    The legendary Grand National

    I'm amazed at the amount of total recall even non-car guys have about the GN. I traveled back to my old neighborhood in Wisconsin on Saturday and visited my former neighbor. I hadn't been back for about 1.5 years but we had lived next door to each other for the previous 10 years. He's not a...

    Freshly restored 1987 GN in IL - Pic taken in Oct. 2010

    This is my 1987 GN that was restored last spring / summer. This car belonged to my mom and it fell into disrepair. She gave it to me in May 2010. It took a lot of work to bring her back but its pretty nice. I should be completely "done" with it in about 10 years! :eek:
