    FS - 87 GN in KC area

    FS - Option loaded 87 GN with Astroroof in KC area I bought this car quite a few years ago. It was in excellent shape to start with, but I started going over it to make sure everything was good, and would ultimately be able to handle more power. You'll see what I've done to the car from what...

    Fuel sending unit

    This is great info. So, one question. How confident should I be that this will fix this? I've had the tank down before, but only attempted to clean. Is this a pretty sure thing? Gauge does work now, just not correctly and slowly. Thanks.

    Fuel sending unit

    I have an '87 GN. The gas gauge is extremely slow to respond, and does not register accurately. I assume that is the sending unit in the tank. I believe I've seen someone who offers a new sending unit attached to a new pump. Does anyone know if I can just get the sending unit? Thanks.

    Manual conversion problem

    I understand that putting a manual transmission behind these turbo'd engines doesn't work well. I did some searching here, and saw some responses to that effect. My question is, I have driven other cars that are turbocharged with manual trannies. What is it that is different in those that...

    KB fuel pressure regulator "O" ring

    I have an adjustable fuel pressure regulator from Kenne Belle. It needs a new O ring. Didn't the factory regulator use an O ring? Parts houses don't seem to know what I'm talking about. Does anyone have a part #, or am I going to have to "find" an O ring to fit. Thanks.

    87 GN Tuner wanted

    Here goes OK, here's the list. I''ve gotten some feedback that the KBs chip is not well thought of. I also noticed that in looking at the car a couple of weeks ago, I think I have an injector that is leaking/sucking air? I have planned on changing the chip and maybe the injectors, but need to...

    87 GN Tuner wanted

    Idle surges so bad that many times it fades and dies. As far a pinging, who knows. Can't find good gas around here, but even at low boost, (stock or less) can't make it go away. Don't have enough time at the moment to reivew the changes I have done, but in the past I have gone through all the...

    Can someone recommend a mechanic/tuner/hobbyist who is good and covering all the bases for tuning an 87 GN. Prefferably someone who owns one as well. I have virtually all the info and tools to do this myself, and have periodically tried. However, it is so infrequent, that I have to start over...

    I am looking for someone in the Kansas City/Topeka area who has experience using a scan tool to tune an 87 GN. I have a lift in my shop and would gladly trade some time on it for some serious help getting this car to run right. I have an OTC Monitor 2000, and it seems to operate differently...
