oh shoot sorry forgot to mention it is the fronts i need. how much are you guys looking to get rid of them for?

thanks for the reply, ended up welding the crack and seems to be holding good :)

hey all looking for a nice straight pair of not so rusty bumper support shock absorbers soon as possible, going to replace the bumper fillers and figured i'd fix the annoying crooked bumper. thanks :)

thanks for the link, guess i have tubular headers :) oh so no leaks at all without the gaskets? will do guys, thanks again!

there is the crack and i welded her up with a mig welder the only one i had laying around but it did the job... thing is there were no gaskets on it when i took it off, is that how it came from the factory??? thinking someone had this header off before... is the gasket from a regular parts...

i'm pretty sure they are tubular steel headers, they are not regular exhaust manifolds... but not sure how to tell if they are cast, did they make cast iron headers? thanks charlie! yeah been running the searches for 83-85 pass side... it looks like i'll just have to weld them, which should be...

i've been searching the internet for months and cannot find anywhere to purchase just the driver's side header... i'm tight on funds so buying the set is out of the question, i may have to just weld up the holes if it's possible unless anyone knows of an affordable place to purchase one? thanks all

thank you guys for the help! hmm i did make the secondary butterfly spring loose... tried to look for the pull off, are you referring to the choke pull off and how do i adjust that?

that could be it, it was producing a rich like smoke from the tailpipe when i punched it before and i did do some adjusting to the little screw for the secondaries on the pass side of the carb... is that tiny flathead screw used to adjust the opening rate? also been trying to figure out how to...

replaced the o2 sensor finally but unfortunately have 0 money left to buy a scan tool... she's still sluggish until higher rpms are reached, also stumbles off the line. i've adjusted the timing to about 15 over tdc, have checked for vacuum leaks and have tried to adjust the carb a bunch. there...

hey thanks for the responses! i've not adjusted the tps, is that required? the clutch seems to be engaging correctly, the trans was just completely rebuilt. i have not replaced the oxygen sensor, however that was my next step and the o2 sensor is in. i suppose that should be my next step yeah?

My 83 buick t-type was throwing an check engine code for the tps so replaced it, still getting the bog at acceleration right before boost and the occasional check engine light after running the car for awhile then boosting at 60mph cruise speed when dropping into passing gear. trans was just...

finally got some news from the guy doing the rebuild. he's saying i'll need the front pump, direct clutch drum and torque converter... i'm running low on the dough so i'm ordering the parts myself instead of letting the rebuilder source them, which probably cost more and possibly be cheap parts...

no problem bud! i like how your setup looks to flush mount with the hole behind the headlight, maximum fresh air :)

hey charlie once i get the car back i'll get a wide shot from the front for ya! i'm not sure what the intended purpose of the red hose is but since i deleted the charcoal cannister i hooked the hose directly to the fuel tank vent line... was thinking of adding a small inline charcoal filter?

thanks guys! sure charlie let me know what type of pic you're looking for, angle/direction/front/driver-side/close-ups/etc... and soon as she's back from getting her trans rebuilt i'll snap those pics for ya :)

finally found a cold air kit for the ol 83 buick t-type, fit right out of the box and only cost $33.49 shipped :) it was an ebay buy, not sure what the brand is as it did not come with any documentation just printed out instruction sheet haha. it's meant for 05-11 charger/magnum/300 with the v6...

yeah sucks doing all that work then realizing it's gotta go in for a rebuild anyway lol. too bad i can't pull the trans myself with where i'm living or i'd totally try to tackle the rebuild... but i've got that extreme automatics mild performance rebuild kit on order and soon as it comes in i'm...

hey rich yeah that was some great info you sent. i couldn't try all the tricks being under time constraints with this as my only car in this state and not having a nice work space. well the results weren't great i didn't get lucky with the valve body, so i'm still missing 3rd and overdrive...

today i got the valve body off, trying to be extra careful about the spillage and bearings... what a mess whew. it looked pretty dirty, had grime in the channels and some coated on the gasket. plus when i pulled the accumulator housing the thicker spring on the accumulator housing side was...
