My first TB.

[Hotwheelbill]

With some help from some Fleebag, I picked up my first Turbo Buick car yesterday. 1983 T-Type with 134k miles, but looks good inside and out.......but......a lot of blow by, A LOT OF BLOW BY.

Sooo, anyone know of a good place to get a TB V6 rebuild in Jacksonville , Fl ?
Nothing wild, this will be a DD.

Welcome aboard Bill. Come join us in the B4black section so you have a better idea of what you can do with her. The one thing that I do notice is that it looks like you're running a holley carb and no computer controls. What all has been done to the car?

Thanks, moving over to B4Black.

Bill if it has aholley make sure it is boost referanced or it will run lean. If it it not already done it probably smoked some pistons.By the way nice car you bought it wright even if the motor needs to be rebuilt. Mike
