Besides just physically breaking what about a cam sensor actually fails?

So my all stock 84 GN has been sitting in the garage over the winter. I just took her out for the first cruise of the season. I get back and park her in the garage. Later that day I go to move her and.....no start. So I found a thread on this site, exactly which one escapes me at the moment but...

What is up my buick brethren. After many moons of being away from my turbo regal i'm trying to get back in the garage and get this thing going. I started rebuilding this car in high school and it's sort of been on the back burner. The motor was rebuilt completely. Polished crank, bored .30 over...

Hey guys. I got an 84 GN and someone pulled the stock thermostat senson and put in an aftermarket guage. I'm looking to put the stock sensor back in so the check engine light goes off but i'm having trouble locating one. My local dealer found one but apparently they discontinued that sensor and...

Hey guys, i'm looking for the rubber "weatherstripping" piece that fits on the rear side of the quarter window on the passenger side. It actually screws into place before the window goes in.

I'm looking for an aftermarket carb for my 80 sport coupe. Anyone have any experience or opinion on this?

I'm hoping someone knows of a company that sells new weatherstripping that goes between your window and door. I'm not sure exactly what to call it. Keeps water from going down your door. I've posted on the parts wanted section and even asked my local dealers but to no avail.

I'm trying to find new window rail weatherstripping for my 79 sport coupe. At least that's what I think it's called. It's the rubber piece that goes between the window and the inside of the door.

Hello all. I am trying to find a location to tap my aftermarket boost guage into but can't really find a good spot. Was wondering if any experienced person knows of a good spot. I was also wondering about the "scanmaster". What exactly does it do? Will it work in my 84 GN and if so where can i...

I have a 1980 turbo regal with a Th 350. Would not having enough stall speed cause my car to be VERY sluggish on take off?

How do i post attachments? say....a pic of my car.

I'm about to paint my car and i wanted to get a rear spoiler for it. I'd like to get not like the GN's, but one raised off the rear deck. Also, what does the pecv valve do. Does it open the power valve up upon boost to fully richen the carb or does it hold the power valved closed to keep from...

I'm thinking about putting a rear deck spoiler on my 80 regal. I saw one on an 83 and i thought it looked pretty good. Does anyone recommend a vendor?

I'm wanting to add a knock detector. Anyone out there know where i can get one? and if you do have one, what's your opinion on it? I'm also wanting to have my turbo rebuilt and hogged out. Is this reccomended? Anyone have it done? and where could i have this done. I also wouldn't...

What do you fella's set your initial timing to? Just curious.

Well i was thinking about putting some roller rockers on and was wondering if anyone has installed any. Where,how much and quality?

Well im some will remember me from all my crazy questions from a few months ago. Still can't get the car to run right. Just to remind all i have a 80 231 turbo, all stock, new rebuild (bearings,rings,pistons,valve job, remanufactured carb, rebuilt turbo, rebuilt trans with stage 2 shift kit)...

Well my turbo oil drain line is FUBAR. it has a huge unrepairable crack in it. If anyone has a spare one they don't need that would be great. It's for an 80 TR. thanks.

I would like to check if my secondaries are opening. Does anyone recommend how i go about this?

Ok, I had gotten a new CHRA because my old one leaked oil into the exhaust side even with a new seal. with that CHRA my turbo sounded like ive seen em at the track on GN's. I nice kind of high pitched whistle sound. I only had about 2ft of exhaust with that one, i hadn't made it up to the...
