Greetings all: With the passing of my son Ryan almost 8 years ago; I seemed to make the unconscious decision to abandon many things; Turbo Buicks being but one. I (and the family) moved from Fort Worth to the Denver area for a new start. That start has been very slow and strange; and I find...

1964 Dauntless 225 V6 Motor

This is about as “off topic” as I can get. A friend of mine bought a mid 70’s FJ40 that doesn’t have wheels on it. I’ve got a set of mid 70’s GM 6 hole rims; but I don’t know if they will fit. The FJ is about 500 miles away from here; so there’s no easy way to measure or test fit. Both are 6...

In the past year; I’ve talked to several members (and lots of non-members) that have lost jobs or changed jobs for the worse. I’ve asked Shane if he would consider adding a Child off this Forum to help those looking for jobs and those that have positions to fill. Over the years; I’ve...

Why do the Turbo-Buick powered cars get moved to the Non-Buick side?

Most everyone here is smarter than me; and always looks at the stickys first. But I’ve missed Jay’s post about riding the MS 150 for quite some time. Looks like I’m not the only one to miss it. So; I’ll abuse the system; and post a link to a sticky...

Maybe this should be on the lounge; but what happened to Poston Buick?

Can you really call this a forum with one thread? What happened to the rest of it?

Robert won’t talk to me any more; so if anyone knows him; let him know I’m still around. Robert sold me a torque converter at a really great price. I didn’t feel too bad about being the one to buy it as it had been on the board for a few days; and no one else was interested. I paid by...

3” Downpipe. Mild steel; painted silver; with black painted test pipe. This pipe fits on to the stock elbow. It is a three piece deal; with the short piece that attaches to the elbow, then a slip fit to the rest of the downpipe, and the test pipe that has been welded on and cut off. I’ve...

Guaranteed Cracked 86-87 Headers Came off my 87 Turbo Regal. Guaranteed to have cracks. Cracks in all the normal places; and probably more. Includes cross-over pipe; with cracks. Cross-over is cracked where the flanges pinch on to it. No dents that I remember; just lots of cracks. I'm...

Has anyone tried using header wrap on stainless headers? I was planning to do the headers and downpipe. I have used it on carbon steel with good results; but never on stainless; and never with a turbocharged engine. Thanks in advance, Joe

One of the members of the Lone Star Performance Buick Club found a deal on the Denso O2 Sensors. Denso P/N 234-1001 (1 wire sensor) is listed as a direct replacement for GM P/N AFS-20. The price is now 23 cents lower than before; $16.16 each. I bought 6; and with shipping the total was about...

I'm looking for a nice set of Kenne Bell Stainless Headers for and 87 Turbo. Thanks, Joe

This has probably been discussed many times here, but I’m now in need, and the forum is quite empty. What is the best (thermal effective, and cost effective) radiator to use in a Turbo Regal. Mine is an ’87, but I also have an external oil cooler, and I’m probably not gaining much by going...
