I embarked on a project to improve my pcv system, get oily vapors out of the engine bay and cabin, and reduce oil leaks. I found the pcv valve and grommet (even the latest aftermarket style) has been a source of problems for a lot of people. Getting an oem style pcv valve installed in the...

I was attempting to change out the PCV Valve and accidently pushed the grommet down into the intake. Not able to see it at all. Now the question is: What if I leave it in there and just get a new grommet? Will it be a problem and cause damage? Or do I have to pull the intake and retrieve it?

what all relies on vacuum from the vacuum ball reservoir?

I modified my fiberglass front bumper to allow more direct fresh air to the large RJC Racing front mount intercooler

Can someone tell me what neck in on my intercooler? Doesn't look like the stock ones I've seen but not sure its a Dutt neck. Can't see a weld or and name on int. It's in good condition. I removed it to install a front mount. What is it worth if I sell it?

Still having problems with my 87 GN transmission after installing the CK Performance shift kit and servo. Chris sent me a new complete servo and then I got 2nd gear back for only about 10 miles. The fluid smells burnt so maybe I need a complete rebuild. But there may still be some internal...

Is the cushion spring for the intermidiate servo on the 87 Grand National the same as a standard 200R4? And what color should it be? Best ;place to get one?

Shift governor is correct and spring in place. Appears to have the original BQ valve body. Had an art carr shift kit and just installed ck performance shift kit. Did learn the art carr had a too heave spring in the tV valve so it wouldn't work with the CKP kit so changed it out to correct...

If you can find the Flex A Form fiberglass single leaf springs made specifically for these trucks, they work great and much less weight. I have used them for many years. Not sure they still make them or not

Is there a way to identify what shift governor I have? Doesn't want to shift out of first at WOT and was thinking it may not have the correct governor since it was once set up for drag racing and had a 4:10 rear end gear. Also Is there an easy to to modify the governor for earlier shifts?

Looks like there will be a large turn out of car clubs this weekend. I'll have my GN in the infield with the Buick Club of America. Stop by and say hello if you are there. Jim

When I got the GN this electronic device was under the hood on the driver side but was partially disconnected. Does anyone recognize it and What's This Fore? Is it ok to cut the last two wires and remove it? It has one wire coming from a connector on the back of the alternator and a the...
