    Non-tilt Column Parts

    I am in need of a couple of non-tilt column parts for my '87 GN. I need the metal collar that rotates when the shifter is moved and the plastic trim that mounts at the back side of the steering wheel. I need gray for a GN but I can paint if another color. Thanks.

    Performance Shops in Detroit Area

    White Racing in Warren, 9 Mile just West of Groesbeck (586-756-3026). Highly recommended especially for tuning. Had very poor results with another large outfit in the area, though they are not Turbo Buick specific. I was working on a GN for a friend that I was not able to finish. Sent it to...

    Porting school of hard knocks

    Pictures I had intended on including pictures, but my digital camera sucks. I will attempt to procure a decent camera and try to post pix in the next week.

    Porting school of hard knocks

    Good day, all. I am currently rebuilding an '87 GN motor, which includes porting and flow testing of the heads. Having done the bowl work, I found that the port responded favorably the more material I removed from the pushrod pinch. Well, I found out the hard way how wide the intake ports can...

    Cam degree specs

    Does any one have info on where a stock '87 GN cam should be degreed? I'm looking for intake or exhaust centerline numbers. Also, is there an optimum timing point for the stock cam that is different than stock? I will be installing a T/A Perf. multi-keyway t.c. and would like to degree while...

    ?? for WB o2 users

    I am installing a WB o2 as a tuning aid. I will be using the convertor to utilize an Autometer A/F gauge. I am looking for information regarding the difference between the $185 NTK sensor and the $60 Bosch. The NTK is obviously the better sensor based on blind assumption, due to the $$...

    Will a bad ESC module make a car run poorly ?

    turbotaone- I posted on here a while back on this exact problem which I am having with an '87 GN. I, too, have gone through everything I can think of with no resolve. I am currently switching to a 9.5" conv to see if it "band-aids" the problem. I think it has to do with the ECM. Not...

    GN color

    Am I crazy or do GNs have a slight metal flake in the paint? I remember this on one my dad had years ago and I swear that I can see it in mine in the right light. I've asked a couple of painters and they replied that the GNs are just plain black. Can anyone offer some insight?

    GN issues

    MSDGN: I am going to wait for the conv before I get too excited. Tranny is not over filled so I'll try that. Also, f/p is ok. It only drops slightly when it bogs as described. Otherwise it's steady. I'll see what happens w/the Vigilante. Black Car: I removed the IAC, cleaned it and the...
