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 :)

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

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 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...

After rebuilding the carb and turbo, removing emission, cleaning, etc. etc.... I've been driving my 83 T for about 2-3 weeks, only about 50 miles a week and not beating on her either. Maybe a brake torque or two. I checked the trans fluid a few days ago and it looked a little low so I added less...

So I've been becoming increasingly frustrated with this carb that I rebuilt... The choke hasn't been opening completely and then after running for a good 30mins it will shut sometimes killing the car. I've already swapped another electronic choke coil in and same result so I'm thinking there is...

my 83 t-type everything stock except smog equipment removed n rebuilt carb plus turbo, I've got it timed about 8 degrees advanced...seems to be running/idling good just wanted to make sure that was recommended. its my first forced induction car so im not sure of all the dangers...

Apparently SFI cats refuse to give advice to carb fellows on similar topics such as the 3.8??? or so i was told when i posted this under the engine tech forum, anyway here goes again... Well folks finally after many months of working on and off thanks to my jobs, shit hoa and asshole...

Well folks finally after many months of working on and off thanks to my jobs, shit hoa and asshole neighbors... Put on new pan gasket, new rear main neoprene seal, plugs/wires/cap/rotor, rebuilt carb and turbo... removed the canister, smog pump and corresponding valves but left the egr. And all...

I am finally installing the carb and turbo I rebuilt on my stock '83 T-Type... I've already deleted the smog pump and corresponding valves. The question I have is in regards to the vacuum lines that connect at the rear of the carb and the electronic modules they connect to. The vacuum lines also...

Soon as I get done re-installing the carb and turbo on my 83 t-type I was thinking about a cone style intake... I've been searching for hours but can't find anything. Can anyone point me in the right direction of some cold air intake piping and cone that would attach to the stock piece that fits...

I've got two 83 t-type turbo setups, I've attached some pics of the compressor backing plates. The one pictured on the left side appears to be trashed... I was just curious what the difference is and if I'm using the correct backing plate for the bearing i have or if I need to find a backing...

I want to use the set pictured on the right unfortunately the compressor turbine on the right goes with the exhaust turbine and shaft on the left with the recess in the center of shaft(pictured.) From the images I've posted can someone tell me which is the better of the two? The compressor...

I am deleting my smog pump and I heard that a late model buick 350 would work. i found this alternator and ac bracket on ebay is this the correct one...

Sorry I know there are posts on here somewhere that would help but I can't seem to find them, I've done quite a bit of searching... I've only found some dead ends. Also not worried about emissions testing because in AZ I'm safe. Any post(s) which explain the smog/emissions equipment that is...

After re-priming my oil pump on my stock 83 Buick T-Type I noticed a good amount of oil leaking out the bottom of the exhaust side down-pipe flange, where it bolts to the turbo. After getting it running i took it for a little spin to burn off the residual oil(neighbors were bitching about the...

Just started up my mostly stock 75,000 mile 1983 Buick T-Type after changing the rear main seal, oil pan gasket, switching to Rotella synthetic oil with STP oil filter and letting it sit for a couple of months while working on some interior parts... Now here's the problem, the oil light is on...

I recently saved my 83 Buick T-Type from some slob that destroyed the interior and the seats are hurting :( Since I'm on a tight tight budget, plus I've got a very limited amount of tools and I have to complete all my work in a carport because I just moved from IL to AZ... Anyway I like to...

So I've only had this T-Type about a month and the guy i bought it from said it needed an oil pan gasket... So I did that and while it was up I noticed it leaking trans fluid... thought it was the pan gasket but I'm now pretty sure it's leaking from the speedometer pinion and the shift shaft. So...
