Hello everyone. It’s been a long time since I’ve posted. I’ve had children and business has taken me away from my Buick hobby for a long time. The Buick’s have suffered from neglecf. The gs is running well and I put it in storage last month after an undercarriage detail. Still needs paint again...

Installed a used bq trans from 85 Ttype parts car I had in my 70 gs350 a few years ago. It had sat a few years unused I'm sure, but after installation with new torque converter it shifted perfectly fine just as my grand national does. Car sits most of the time and after a year I realized the...

Hey everyone. Im moving into a new shop and need to clear out some of this stuff Ive had for the last 8-10 years so it doesnt clutter me up. I figured posting it in the hot-air forum would work best since its all hot-air parts. Make me an offer on here or call 256-852-7214 9-5 weekdays. I...

My 85 WH1 w/60K miles wouldn't crank as normal this morning. It fired but stalled 3-4 times, so I held the accelerator down just a little and it fired up and kept running, then the SES light came on within 4-5 seconds and stayed on. Read the code and it says 34, MAF low voltage signal. I have...

I am looking for some advice on having a chip burned for an 85 hot air car. My T is a conversion vehicle and loves the turbotweak chip, but im buying my wife a 85 hot air that is completely stock with 68000 miles and im looking to improve on the MPG as soon as i purchase it. New 02 sensor...

Friend of mine with a TTA got in a altercation with a curb the other day and bent his passenger spindle. Since TTA's have dual piston calipers (1LE Package) I have to find one to match. If anyone knows of one or can find me one ill pay whatever the cost may be. Iroc Z's often have the 1LE...

Hey guys. I was involved in an accident with my 84 Ttype and after settling up with the insurance company I fixed my 84 to a driveable state and used the remainder of the money to purchase yet another T. This one is a 85 with the original hot-air motor. It was apparently modified by the same...

Driving down a 30mph residential street, I saw a large white Ford F-150 truck approach the intersection ahead of me in which there was a stop sign for him. He slowed to a stop as i continued on my way, rapidly approaching the intersection. When i was around 5 to 10 car lengths away, he began...

My stock MAF went south on me about a month ago so I purchased a used translator and 3" LT1 MAF sensor from Jack Cotton and installed it this past weekend in the typical location. Im using a turbotweak chip at the moment. It ran much better with a new MAF sensor first of all, however the...

Looking for a 89 TTA, any condition considered. Local is always nice, we are located in the southeast. Email me at GS70350@aol.com with any info or pictures. Thanks.

I still have a start up issue where the car will not start unless the fuel pressure is low enough to allow the injectors to pulse. I have to turn it down so that the resistance drops low enough for them to fire. Then i turn it back up to the correct 42psi after the car is running. It will...

My car when cold starts fine. It has 45 psi fuel pressure with the vacuum line off. It runs and drives fine. When i turn it off at operating temperature it will not start again because the injectors do not fire. There continues to be no signal through the injector harness to the injectors...

Im about to build a OG transmission for the GS and i was planning on swapping it in next week. I got a shift kit from Chris about a year ago and im finally getting around to doing everything. Ive got the line bias spring installed and the accumulator spring installed in the valvebody and have...

After all, turbochargers rely on both pressure and heat to operate. Pressure and temperature drop across the turbine is the ultimate driving force. In the quest for increased turbine efficiency, most people follow set rules. The mainstream aproach is to install a larger downpipe or an...

Hey guys. Im trying to dial in my car here and i just pulled an 8.3 at 86.1 in the 1/8th. 93 octane pump gas with boost around 19. pulled a 1.88 60ft on 265/50 radials! Ive got a few DS files id like someone to check out if anyone has time. Runs rich on the bottom end and ends up...

Have a stock turbocharger that i just removed from the car. I purchased it a year ago when my TA49 went south, and used it reliably up until a few months ago. The compressor seal seems to be on its way out and there is a little bit of oil swirl on the outlet of the compressor housing. Unit...

Have everything out of a 84 grand national. Engine has 90K miles and was running when removed. Complete with sensors and wiring harness still attatched. Perfect setup for a hybrid, just get a transmission and an ECM. A few things that I can easily remove for individual sale: Turbo...

Hey guys. Last night i cranked the car to go eat after a 300 mile trip, and the idle went to 1600 steady. i drove it to eat(1 mile) at 45mph without my foot on the gas, like automatic cruise control, :D Anyway, i did the ALDL reset procedure with the IAC today - a total of 6 times. It acts...

Hey guys. I just got done installing new lower and upper ball joints, and moog 5658 springs in the front of the car and while i was at it i installed new UB machine upper control arms, part # 14-0809 i think. They gave me a right and a left arm, which had slightly different shapes(seriously)...
