Went through this years ago. Turbo and NA are different. If you are converting an NA to Turbo you will need to find a turbo alternator bracket.

LOL!!! Were abouts the dysfunctional great state of Florida you is...

;) God bless all. Hope your turbo N/A dreams were fulfilled by Santa, (probably not...yous guys are bad:devil:).

Yes, the 3.8 block on mine has it.

Not worried. Seems like I'm just lacking the knock sensor, the relay and the Dizzy. My 1981 CCC/ECM was removed and stored. I back dated everything in it. No electronics other than the good old fashioned HEI dizzie. Never ever used a knock sensor since I'm lame on the foot anyway. But I'm...

Thanks Rich. You're absolutely right on the 1981. The ESC does feed into the ECM via the by-pass and the EST, Buick Schematic shows it. It does seem that the 1978 ESC was stand-alone. The CCC/ECM system was not used yet back then. Now, about that relay....LOL! Seems like I'll have to track one...

Thanks Charlie...Can't find out a darn thing about it. I need to know what is the additional plug on it for. The diagram for the 1981 ESC is slightly different according to my Buick manual and does not show it. Seems like the 1978 units are not monitored or controlled by the ECM, which is a good...

Now how 'bout a couple more dead guys pop up and scare the living crap outta Charlie and Doc...:vamp:....! LOL:wideyed:

It's not. I removed the vinyl top on my '81. You'll have to remove the entire rear window. Mine did not come with the studs that hold the trim clips. I drilled in some small galvanized machine screws to hold the trim clips. Be careful! There is not much room between the window opening and the...

I need one, (the rip-off price is $200.00 new). Anyone have one in good condition?

I'll be there....

It's been well over a year now since I got my starter from: http://www.dbelectrical.com/p-10547-new-chevy-buick-pontiac-jeep-mini-starter-long-short-mt-sdr0059.aspx ......and nothing beats it. PERIOD! I highly recommend it. It's flawless and value cannot be beat. And that sound....very...

Found 'em on Amazon for the normal price....got all four! :love: Happy, Happy, joy, joy, joy! http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000COB8D2/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Yep, High and low...
