My 85 Buick Regal T-Type

[Suzanne Bolyard]

Well I have had my car almost a year now and have had several problems with it but the worst was the powermaster system and I am now converting it to vaccum. Hoping I will never again have to wonder if going down the road when that dang fuse will blow and I'll have no brakes.Was really wanting to get this thing out of my hair but I may still love my car as much as I did when I got it. Guess time will tell.I always wanted a GN and this is definately a GN just not Black mine is gold and what a nice car. Just wanted to let you guys know if you have brake problems this version(vaccum) would be the way to go.

Nice car! Where are you located?

 

[Suzanne Bolyard]

I am in Shenandoah Virginia near the Shenandoah Speedway. Got my vaccum brakes and love em.Lots better than the powermaster.But the guy that fixed it found a wheel cyclinder leaking,so it may have been all my problem.I kept the powermaster in case I decide to get rid of it so they may want it all stock.I also have the stock wheels.Here is a pic of it with the stock wheels.

I am the 3rd owner and the only thing on the auto check is decals and title change.I noticed the old man that had this from new never put it on the road till 1997.Wow!

Suzanne,

It appears as if this car was built by Buick in very late 85. You didn't happen to notice what engine block casting number it had on it? Did you?

Suzanne,

Where would you find this at?

 

[NY Twin Turbo]

In late 85 Turbo Buicks had powermasters and larger radiators. If it was built very late......Like mine was, It may also have a 109 block in it. Same as the intercooled 86/87 cars.

 

[NY Twin Turbo]

The number is cast on the block. Towards the back. You need to look from the bottom under the headers.

 

[Suzanne Bolyard]

Oh ok cool.I'll have to look for that.Does that make the car more special than what it already is?People run me down and just love the color combo on my car.I may just have to keep this peice of art.Thanks so much for the info and I will look to see if I can find that #.Thanks so much for this important info.Finding out alot about my car and loving it.

Well, maybe. If someone wanted to make performance enhancements they would be better of starting with an 86-87 block. However, the rest of the combo is still a hot-air set-up. But you never know. It is unusual to find a 109 block in a 85 Turbo Regal though. So, don't get excited just yet.

 

[Suzanne Bolyard]

Lol ok I wont.

 

[Suzanne Bolyard]
