Here is the link: It is complete - My loss your gain. 1983 Buick T Type Turbo Regal $1,300 firm price

I did forget to metion that the car shuts off when the secondaries do open - kind of scary trying to stop. But that was only when I removed the clip that locks the secondary to open.

I worked on the secondaries - even took the carb to be rebuilt and still no secondaries opening. I do hear the turbo spool but not turbo boost. This car has been a love hate relationship. I guess I will never buy another carb car again. In California smog laws suck and every other year the...

Ok the run down: Selling project - could be driven daily if you can figure out why secondaries do not open. Purchased car in 2004. Since then: New suspension - hardly driven - Ball joints, bilsteins, spings, tie rods, etc. Rebuilt heads, rebuilt transmission 2004r, rebuilt correct carb...

PM'ed - still parting out?

Here are my three: This was a project that was for last two years really neglected. Started with one brother - rebuilt front end, and engine -, then taken over by me - used as a toy - and now my other brother - back to stocks. He started rewiring all or at least most of the old chewed up wires...

Hello everyone, I do not post on a regular basis but I find this site very informative. So I finally passed smog. I had been messing with the car for months and finally after $ spent (new egr and cat) and alot of carb adjustments the car passed without being a gross polluter. I had...

Sorry for the rant - but I paid more than 1500 for a tranny to be rebuilt and I get an excuss that a mounts was the cause of my trans problems. At my job - no matter what happened I have to say the truth is real. What happened to the customer is always right.

Short story -- I hate customer service. I will buy a new trans next time. But with my lock i always get the defective parts and no one wants to honor. I guess living in LA is a bitch. Plus since I am no Trans mechanic I have to go with what they say. Just an example - today I went to have my...

I originally had transmission rebuilt (will buy a new one next time) in Oct 06. Since then I have put about 6,000 mile and have had to take the car back twice. Within this last month 1) car would not shift out of 2 gear - took it back and they stated that something was stuck in valve train...

Thanks for reply. I will try what you mentioned. I did order a new ac delco o2 sensor but did not put it on before the smog test. I will try this on the weekend. Will post back my results.
