Aww durnit. Well I would agree but I checked it already. 😆

Thank you so much. I feel like an idiot but I literally asked my brother, who had worked on the car, and a Buick mechanic from that era and they didn’t know. That would explain why because there’s an aftermarket thing.

They rotted and broke apart years ago.

4”. It had rear airbags, but they rotted from it being stored and literally fell out whenever I was having it towed to my house. is this spacer detrimental to driving it?

Hey y’all, driving the GN yesterday and had a part literally fall off the car. Pulled over and ran back and got it and to be honest I have no clue what it is. I’ve asked a Buick mechanic, someone who worked on the car and a car forum in general. Nobody seems to know what it is and I don’t wanna...

Fortunately he found some GM that will work, and they will be here next week. It is what the car already had on it so works for me. :) He still has a few other tasks to do once it is running so I give it at least another couple of weeks. My timeline was 3 months so it is still within my...

I had warned him that the heads had been replaced with GN1 heads and they were Oring heads. The ones he needs are Mehle, and I have actively been searching as well to find them. Anything to save time. One shop called the manufacturer and they don’t know when they will have them.

Got a boost gauge, fuel pressure gauge is actually on the motor so not much good while I am driving. As far as the mechanic being slow, yes he is, but everybody around here is majorly backed up right now, and after talking to others, parts are super hard to get too, which slows things down as...

I have been doing the simple stuff- repairs, maintenance, oil changes, etc. With the mods my dad did the simple stuff always takes 2-3x as long, lol. He spray painted the fuel filter black so it was literally painted into the fuel line. Looked great but was a beast to get off. And the battery...

I do want it to go. I have worked on my own vehicles in the past, but lack the space and tools for now to do so. We are planning on building a garage in the next couple of years so I will have more room to work on it. Not saying I will ever be able to tear down the engine, but hopefully I won’t...

I know some of the mods. Am willing to learn the rest. I have a bin of receipts that I have to get from my brother that has a bunch of what he did to it so that’s a start.

He hasn’t gotten to it yet- they have a diesel that has been giving them issues apparently. The GN is next. We’ll see.

Ok, so couldn’t edit this to add- justcalled again, and apparently they have a car that he has been spending a lot of time on, it has been giving them issues, and as soon as he gets it done they are pulling mine in to work on. They were very apologetic and seemed sincere, so who knows. Maybe I...

So an update; I haven’t bothered him, lol. Matter of fact I haven’t talked to him over the phone yet. I did get an email 2 May, but that’s it. Not for lack of trying on the phone- I have called 2x now with no response from him (there are 2 separate portions of the garage And the phone is in 1-...

Nah he is a performance mechanic. I talked face to face and he was older and very quiet and knowledgeable - not in your face and brash. He came highly recommended and they don’t get that way by messing folks stuff up. He was hard to get in with- aggravating as hell but also a good sign, because...

Yeah, it is pretty much already done, so there really isn’t much to do anyways. Not much else to sell me on tbh, and if someone tries then they are a saleaman not a mechanic. You guys have been awesome and believe me, I have listened to your advice and if my threads were still there I would go...

Haha, well I can’t speak for my dad, but my limitations are waaayyyyy higher than his. So though it may have had 750hp at some point, I’m thinking I will never tap into that nor produce that in my lifetime. And I am ok with that.

Which part? Lol, I am not literally a crackhead, hopefully that is not needed to be said. But I have not gotten any info, and my brother, though he has worked extensively on this car, has given me nada til now to go on. When my dad decided to start tearing it down and working on it was when I...

Yes! I read up on it and it was super interesting but still didn’t really know how to operate it without an interface. Not sure the computer was actually operational.
