I've been working on giving the blue buick a refresh. Also switched back to rubber body bushings from the poly, and re-installing power steering. I'm glad I kept all of the power steering components, its been interesting digging through my bolt collection and finding all of that hardware...

Thanks Dave. My digital dash came back from Caspers. It took some damage in shipping to the odometer button, but luckily it still works. Although I can forget about resetting the odometer ever again. Also changed most of the brake lines and the primary fuel line to stainless steel. I had a...

Its been several years, and I've taken time off from the motor sports hobby to do other types of racing, mtb, open water swimming, marathon running, triathlons, etc. I must have racing in the blood. However, yesterday I pulled the blue T-Type out of storage over the weekend. Its been tucked...

I turned 147,000 miles this month, and I've driven the car every day for the last 4-1/2 years. The car had 90,500 miles on the odometer when I did the Turbo/NA swap. That's a healthy 56,000 miles on this build. I feel like I've had a good return on this build and I have begun to think about...

Oh yeah, the windows. I've got a set to swap out and I'm just a couple of clips short of hanging my rear window trim. I figured out code44. It was another bad MAF. The cold air kit is great, but driving the T everyday allows for the solenoid to fail much quicker when picking up all the cold...

Brian, Any chance you have another set of coach lights?

New Makeover Thanks man! Its been a long time in the making. Its hard to believe I bought this car almost 10 years ago and I'm still working on it and loving every mile along the way! That first Regal is always a good one. I'm glad I've managed to keep it. I got it back from the paint shop...

In Primer In Primer. Does anyone know if GM used a gasket on the non-Landau T-types with Coach Lights? Any idea where I can find a set of Coach Lights? My mounting clips have broken off....

Down to Metal

Test Pipe I initially used the 2-1/2" Hooker test pipe. I had to have an exhaust shop use a tube bender to stretch out the connection to 3" to mate with the THDP. I ended up replacing the Hooker test pipe when I found a 3" test pipe at the Bowling Green Nats a few years back. After I made...

Update I found this problem a long time ago. The relay went bad on the Casper Hot wire kit. Outside of this problem, the MAF sensor went bad. I replaced the horn ring and the glove box switch fell out so I replaced the glove box. I also had the rearend rebult. It was perfect timing as my...

The more I read about this car, the more I like it. I'm not a big fan of 4-doors, but an inline 4-cylinder turbo, six-speed manual, and all wheel drive is a very good idea. I really dig the styling with the verticle intake louvers, mini rear spoiler, and European sport styled interior. This...

I am having problems with the fuel pressure. I'm at 41 psi with the Casper's Hot wire kit unplugged. I my fuel pressure gage is all over the place with the kit engaged. Any ideas?

Aside from getting this car running. I think its the next step for me to learn how to tune this car. Here are my readings. Can someone give me an idea of what adjustments I can make for better performance? Here are my readings at idle: O2 320-656 AF 05 L8 37-41 bAT 13.4 INT 127-133 BL...

I built this a few years back in Ohio. 1971 455 stage 1, 1968 short shaft turbo 400, 1970 Ford 9", 1971 Q-Jet 800cfm. I haven't driven it in sometime. Its been sitting in my brother's barn for a couple years now. The last time I ran it was at the 2006 Nats in Salem. I added a turbo hood and...

Yeah, I may show up. I've got a tent and a fast car. Pop that header off and get your neighbor to weld it!

I'm interested in the aluminum core support. Please send me a PM if it is still available. Thanks!

I may hav a 911 to drop a 4.1 one in. Will this adapter work on a 930 tranny?

I've got the 4.1 NA longblock. Just looking to finish a complete turbo build. Just need pistons now.
