Thanks! People think I'm a scammer for not wanting to send a pic of my ID in a world where identity theft is a real thing. I sold my 86 GN last year on ebay and the buyer in SC got a loan for the car through his credit union. His CU sent me a check for the full amount and all they asked for was...

Does anyone with Facebook know the popular turbo buick groups on there? I don't have a FB so I don't know where to look. I'm trying to sell my GN on ebay and the auction was won by someone who wanted me to send them a pic of the title and of my ID(possible identity theft?) so they can "verify"...

Individually it'd be a nightmare, but you might try listing them in lots. People go for those trying to get a deal, so you might have some luck there. I use to collect the Racing Champions Nascars back in the day...

Tucker better watch his tail once he gets back to the US. We all know and see how the snakes on the left operate.

You're right...the first time I installed it, the shifter handle came off in my hand because I didn't press down hard enough when installing that clip.

Use a flat head screwdriver or pick to pry out the clip, then press it back into place once the new handle is on.

Cant wait till they try that shit in Texas...or any other red state for that matter. I just got a nice 10" Karambit for daily carry...PLEASE give me an opportunity to use it. We're fed up with the lawlessness of these 3rd world rats.

I didn't see any cracks in the flexplate when I assembled everything a couple years back, and also when checking the converter bolts...but no telling whats happened since. I got everything set at 1/2 turn preload instead of 1/4 and can tell a difference in sound. It's quieter at idle...not by a...

Does doing that make it less sensitive? Since I'm running E85/125#/525lph and the fuel system is up to the task, would it be a bad idea to just unplug the knock sensor? Max boost for the chip is set at 30psi from a 6466BB, fwiw. I plan to check/set the preload later today...

I think they're comp(no part number), but hard to tell based off of the engine build sheet scribble. The motor was built in 2013 and has approx 2500 miles, but it was raced hard. The knock is mostly at the top of 1st and throughout 2nd. 3rd is knock free after the gear change. Reading it with...

No stethoscope but I usually use a long 3/8 extension pressed up to my ear. Seems louder when first started up, but the lifters may be bleeding down and take a sec to pump back up. I only drive the car a couple times a month, so there's plenty of sitting. 50psi cold, 15psi hot oil pressure...

I'm getting knock from what I think is the valvetrain. 3rd gear WOT pull shows 0 knock and I'm running E85 too with the proper injectors/pump to support it. Can the valvetrain "clicking" even trigger the knock sensor? With 1.55 T&D roller rockers & hydraulic lifters, I have the lifter preload at...

A bully will eventually back down if you stand up to them. They're not looking for a fight, they're looking for a victim. Don't be a victim. So proud of Abbott!

Do you all notice an increase in water/condensation dripping out of the exhaust? I know it's winter and all, but it seems excessive compared to gasoline. Also have noticed that it's burning ALOT cleaner. Idling in the shop would blast your eyes on gasoline...now it's not even bothersome at all...

Awesome, thanks!

Does anyone have a diagram of the vacuum lines for the HVAC system for 1987? Also on the HVAC panel, which lever functions should cause the heater valve to open and let coolant into the heater core? Thanks.

Bringing this thread back for a bit as I'm going through the same problem. I've found that the two little tabs that hold the vacuum actuator switch together are broken causing no seal. Short of buying a new one from Highway Stars, is there a fix for this that gets rid of the plastic through...

Got the chip installed and the tank topped up with E85. First impression is that the turbo is much more responsive than before...and that's saying something since it wasn't a slouch to begin with. It's nearly 10 degrees here, but even at this temp...startup went well with some stumble initially...
