    I have a Q-Jet off of a '79 Turbo Regal that I was going to put on my 4.1 Buick in my '79 Sunbird. It was rebuilt and has 3,000 miles on it according to the seller. Apparently it's the wrong carb for my NA motor. The card number is 17059243, 0419 CKD I can send pics if you want.

    '79 Turbo Regal Q-jet vacuum question

    I've got a q-jet from a 79 turbo regal that I'm putting on a 4.1 NA motor. The motor has an Isky cam 2 steps above stock with mild porting and springs to match the cam. Bottom end is stock with about 80K on it. My question is what to hook up the vac. port below the fuel inlet to. I was told to...

    '79 Turbo Regal Q-Jet

    Still got it I still have the carb, I haven't run it but the person I bought it from online stated that he ran it for 3,000 miles before switching over to fuel injection. All I've done with it is take it out of the box it came in and look at it. My car is nowhere near running and I won't have a...

    3.08 Rear Gears

    While I like watching it, I don't intend to do any "off the line" shots with this car. It is only around a 2800-2900 lb. car so it won't be too bad. I told the guy with the 3.08 S-10 I'm not taking those gears. I'll wait until I'm ready and get 3.23's or 3.42's with posi.! dr_frankenstein...

    3.08 Rear Gears

    I did the 5-lug swap a long time ago, Got all the parts from an s-10 and a mid '80's Grand prix. I am going to change out the bearings and races to all new ones. I don't trust mixed and matched bearing parts. Please explain what you mean by 5-lug swap kit, what parts are involved?

    3.08 Rear Gears

    Hey Erik, I've been following a lot of the threads over on V8Monza.org about using the S-10 parts. I'm following a train of thought that figures a 3.42 gearset would be best for my 4.1 and future 200-4R install from a performance and economy balance. I can get a 3.08 rear end off a '92 2wd. S-10...

    4.1 Flywheel

    I'd use a T-5, not a 50. I actually had a t-50 a few years back but sold it to another H-Body owner. I have all the info from the H-body FAQ to go by. I just want to find out if a flywheel is available or can be fabbed. I most likely will go with the 200-4R I have. I'm not building a barn...

    4.1 Flywheel

    Thanks Bob, I'll check them out. Looking at ideas for future projects if I don't like the 200-4R Edit; I looked on the Advanced Adaptors site and couldn't find the flywheel. Do you have a part number? And how long ago did you do your build?

    I have a thread in before black talking about a Turbo Regal Q-Jet. One of the members told me you may be in need of one. It's off a '79 Turbo Regal with only 3,000 miles since a rebuild. If you want, check out the thread and see the pics. Take care, Chuck

    4.1 Flywheel

    I may have asked this a long time ago but don't remember now. Does anyone make a flywheel to fit to a 4.1 so I can put a 5-speed stick behind it?
