Should I cut this eyelet off and replace it with a new one? It looks a little frayed and weak but I do not have (nor know if I can get) this specific eyelet beyond a generic one. The car will not stay running and I've had some other electrical "gremlins" so I am starting with the grounds...

Used to have a TE 44 and would go ~1.6x. Put a 6262 on it and can't 60ft for crap. Have been 11.34 with a 1.69 60ft at 119. Norwalk today was dissapointing with this thing and as good as that track hooks. Launched with 4lbs and went 11.55 w/ a 1.80 6ft. Where do you guys leave with this...

I have a set of 15x 8.27 x 4.5 BS rims with 28 x 10.5 slicks/ Will they fit on a factory GN? May run them at Norwalk this weekend. Current rims are 15x8 ~3.75 with a 275 MT DR/ Let me know. Just want to run slicks if I can, if not, then I will run what I have been doing for years:-)

Made my best pass in BG last weekend with an 11.49@115. Car is usually an 11.80 car. The final time trial a lifter collapsed so I didn't get to compete. My TE44 was already on the way out and I was borrowing a friend's TA60 but it didn't really give me much improvement. I wanted the car to...

Looking for a trusted Buick owner in the Memphis, TN area that is also familiar with BBC. Need a favor to look at a motor for sale in that area for me. Please let me know or send me a PM. Thanks for your help. Merry Christmas!!!! Barry

Say that is a mis print in the new Muscle Machines magazine. Was just flipping through it and on page 8 it says so. There is no way a dealership seized that motor and scrapped it instead of giving the owner the money outright and re-selling or keeping it. Anyone else know if this is true, I...

I am not trying to sell anything here, I just wanted to guage an interest level for down pipes. I know many vendors have them available but when I got mine a few years ago, it took me months to locate one. There were none to be had anywhere. Anyway, to make a long story short, I met a guy...

Ok, here is the dilemma. Paint the gas tank Black, silver or clear coat it. Tank is already out if the car and everything is already fairly clean when viewed form the back of the car but I am on the fence of what color to paint the tank. I have searched numerous threads to get pictures of...

I know this is not a Buick only event, but anyone in the OH, PA, MI or WV area going to the Steel Valley Nationals at Quaker City this weekend. $30 to race all three days and after parties and cruise ins in Salem, Ohio afterwards. BTW - are there any TR's in WV:confused:

Long story short, I ended up taking in a stray cat. Never had one before but it is cute. It and my dog are still getting acquainted too. At any rate, I am gonna take it to the vet and make sure it is healthy and all. I will probably end up keeping it as I can't take to the pound or anything...

Was looking over the engine recently and noticed there is coolant on the first head stud around the threads. The car has been sitting since November and the motor is fresh with Cometic gaskets. Motor has maybe 1000 miles on it.They have not been retorqued yet. Has anyone else experinced this...

Is anyone running these tires? If so do they hook well? How are they compared to the Mickey Thompson ET Street Radials? Having said that, I have already put the cart before the horse because I just ordered a set of the Goodyear P275/50/15 today, but wanting to know if anyone else is using...

Pulled my rearend and control arms out of my GN to do some rebuilding. I am gonna box the LCA's. I noticed when I pulled the rear sway bar off that there is a bracket/spacer that appears to align the sway bar bolts and keep the LCA from being squeezed together. Should this spacer be tack...

I am going to pull the rearend and put an Eaton posi and Moser axles in over the winter. Stock unit and axles are good but I have a fresh motor and transmission in it, so I figured I would replace the posi before it is the weak link in the chain. Question is; should I replace the upper and...

Just rebuilt the engine with new bearings, crank and rings. The cam, lifters and push rods were already broken in before the tear down. Since re-assembly I have put a little over 600 miles on the motor. Did an oil change at ~75 miles and another one at ~500. Both oil changes looked clean. I...

I will try to keep this short in explantation. When I was racing, I made a dumba** mistake. Did my burnout in 2nd gear, when I staged, I did not shift into 3rd. During the pass, it started to cut out and break up. Saw 1.9` of KR so I got out of it. Looked down at the shifter and saw I was...

I finally got direct scan and want to use it this weekend at the track. Problem is that I cannot get it to work on my Dell Latitude D600 computer. It has Windows XP. I have it on the computer and have it set to compatible with Windows 95 in the properties. I can call up DS and get to the main...

My tranny has to come out so I can get to the rear of the motor to fix an oil leak either at my cam core plug or pipe threads. Question though is that my transmission cooler line is seized and the head is rounded, is it alright to cut it about 6" from the tranny and use a compression union to...

Why can I not get my oil pump off? Motor is out of the car. Timing cover is on the work bench. I have removed the 4 bolts on the oil pump, but it will not come off. I have been hitting it with a rubber mallet for an hour and it will not budge. It does have a bronze spacer between the pump...
