    From the Buick service manual procedure, it would seem very easy to remove the intermediate steering shaft (between the column and the box). Unfortunately mine is not working out that way. :frown: Has anyone done this before and tell me how they did it? TIA! Mike

    Nitro-methane blend for meth injection?

    A supercharged viper guy was telling me there is a nitro-methane mixture available for his meth injection kit that supposedly increases HP due to additional oxygen content. Anyone tried this for the Buicks? Thanks, Mike Doh! Searched it a different way and found it was already posted.
