    Driver side valve cover breather

    Here's the elementary question of the day. When I bought my car, it did not have the original breather/oil cap. It has a short tube with a K&N style filter similar to the picture below. My problem is that oil can sling up on it, the filter get's saturated, and drips oil onto the harness...

    Power seat question

    I have an 86 with a power bucket. The seat transmission self destructed and scattered parts across the floorboard. I'm researching a fix, including the possibility of going manual. I'm really not interested in replacing mine with essentially the same thing - another 26 year old crusty plastic...

    Seat covers - Bench seat

    My T originally had a bench seat. I've been considering getting one back in the car, but I haven't found anyone selling new gray covers. Does anyone know if they are available?

    Like a kid waiting on Christmas!

    I haven't driven my Buick in almost 2 years - parked it when the engine started a knock. I was OK for a long time..."some day I'll have the cash to get a decent rebuild"...etc etc....and just chugged along driving a daily beater. I didn't think about it much. Now, I'm weeks away from...

    Tapping noise

    Last week I replaced the intake gasket (and everything else along the way) to help curb the oil leaks. I drove it around Sunday and noted that it held gear a little longer than before due to TV cable adjustment compared to before. The shifts were good and crisp so I thought it was only better...

    S-hose fitting in intake

    I'm pulling the intake to fix an oil leak, and I want to replace everything that's "crusty" along the way. I want to replace the fitting that the s-hose connects to with a new one. Where can I get, what size, etc etc?

    Destroyed in Seconds TV show with T-type

    No, the car doesn't get destroyed. This is for all the "Buicks used in law enforcement" guys. There is bit on that show, episode 4, about a hurricane that hit Hawaii on the 80's. For all of 1 second, there is a white T-type with a blue light on the roof with LEO standing beside. I got it on...

    Side mirror gaskets

    After 6.5 years of failthful DD service, I bought a beater and the Buick has been retired to weekend duty. The primary drive is to repaint it. I met my painter on Sunday and he said that the little gasket between the door and the side mirror should be black (unpainted). Is this correct? If so...

    Gasoline guru help - Ethanol 10%

    I noticed new LARGE stickers at the pump yesterday: "Fuel contains less than 10% Ethanol" I filled up with 93. Now the car doesn't like boost levels above 15lbs - breaks up, when I normally can creep up on 18lbs without alky. Now I may be too quick to judge since there was a drastic ambient...

    tomcatturbo

    I picked up a used TA49 from him a few months ago. The turbo is great, the transaction was great, the deal was great, and I've enjoyed it long enough to confirm it was a good part. Now I need to move on "new" issues such as lack of tire tread, lack of real estate to truly enjoy the sweet sounds...

    Turbo lag or other hesitation?

    I replaced the ailing stocker with a TA49 about 2 months ago. Since then I've noticed what *seems* to be a hesitation, but I'm not sure. Here's the deal: The hesitation is not the tip-in stumble of old school chips. I was very accustomed to that before TT. I got a turbo tweak chip with 009's...

    The Exxon Valdez speweth forth

    My old sled has always dripped oil. I did all the usual gasket crap: rear main valve covers pan front crank (along with new timing cover, etc when I did timing chain) None of these "appear" to be leaking at this time (except possibly the pan because everything that low is soaked. Anyway...

    Cooling fan option - Malibu/Cutlass

    FWIW, I found another fan that seems to work well (so far). My factory fan died about 3 years ago. I replaced it with a Ramchargers fan which lasted 1.5 years. Assuming that was a fluke (because of all the raves about it), I bought another Ramchargers (from another source) fan. Well it died...

    Upgrade to TA49

    I'm sorry if this has been beat to death. I will soon replace my stocker. The car is a daily driver and is essentially stock with free/cheap mods, stock converter, plus 009s etc. Since I've owned the car, the intention was to go with a TA49. Lately I've noticed the new series of turbos...
