I just became the owner of an 84 t-type yesterday, all original 95k miles. Now i've dealt with g-bodies for a while now (had 3 Olds at one time, down to 2 now), but never with turbo buicks. The car is all black, original wheels, bucket/console interior, digital dash, concert II sound system (gone now), POSI and factory alarm??
Anyway it idles rough, the trans kind of slips into third gear, it kinda feels like something is holding back the engine when at WOT (strange noises), so I've kept my foot out of it.
I've read the spring cleaning article and will be doing all those things this coming weekend but I am still lost on how i can tune this engine to run like its supposed to(read scantool),
and last question is, can this thing be a low 13 car while staying hot air?
My other 2 cars are an 81 Olds Cutlass with a 350(olds)/2004r/3.73 8.5", and an 84 sedan with a v6/th350/2.41.
Thanks!!
