    Confused

    where in VA are you located? There are a bunch of us all over the state, and in NC the brain trust of turbo buicks is located in Burlington at Richard Clarks shop. He has motor/trans/body shop facility, and you can work on your own car there. Based on pics, you have a parts car and if it has...

    Reproduction GN wheel. Opinions

    When you say user friendly-what do you mean? Do the fronts rub? I've got 8's on the back of mine and love them. Still running factory chrome 7's on the front but would buy 8's if they don't rub. My current front setup rubs on driver side inner fender when backing up and turning hard. Thanks...

    What is a GOOD quality brand for floor mats for a 05 Yukon?

    X2 on Lloyd. Just bought a set for my wife's new Honda and they are the most luxurious carpeted mats I've ever set my feet on. They are called Lloyd Luxe.

    fastest et on 255/60 MT drag radial

    Hey Pat- when you practice your launchs on the street ;) , what psi are you using on a warmed up tire. How long do you need to drive it before it get's warm enough to stick. Assuming this time of year. Carl

    Just placed my order for 2- 8x15" aluminum GN wheels on Thursday night and they arrived Saturday afternoon. When the Fed Ex truck backed into my driveway I wondered what my wife had ordered, and when he opened the doors and I looked inside-wait.....that's from Gbodyparts.....it's my...

    a/c vacuum hose routing

    Is your's a c68 climate control unit? If so, I'm doing the exact same thing on mine. Drop the glove box door by pulling the spring steel catch out of the way and you will see all the ac controls incl the rod that moves in and out to control the opening of the flap to the evaporator. On the 86...

    John-thanks for the feedback. Wow your tire setup is smokin :cool: awesome looking. I can't imagine that many tires would hook on the street while footbraking @20# with the setup you must have. Carl

    MT sportsman S/R question

    Has anyone put these on rear with stock GN chrome wheels? Looking at the 26x10 PN#6653. Looking for wider tire, better traction than my 215/65-15 Firestone Indy 500. Also when getting caught in the rain on cruises, do not want to be doing 360's down the road. Also want better tread life than...

    Powermaster changeover question

    Where are you picking up your vacuum signal. If you replaced the factory block with the billet with the extra fitting, unplug your connection and cap it off. See if the engine still idles erratically. I had no problems doing the conversion using an Advance auto unit and modifying brake pedal...

    Going to Richard's

    Gary, Thanks for the help tuning on the dyno and at the track. Got the powermaster back on and able to pull 5 # boost before breaking tires loose on street tires. The S-10 wheel cylinders are definitely stronger. Will let you know how my 60 ft times are at the next T&T I can make.

    Going to Richard's

    Going to Richard's I had the pleasure of attending the Turbo Buick Nationals last year for the 1st time. Having just bought my first turbo car – a 1986 GN, mildly modified at 86,000 miles, I couldn't wait to drive down and show everyone what I had purchased, and to learn how to tune it. About...
