    ATK Engines

    Wow! I think I paid closer to $1600 for it back in the day. No core charge or anything. That’s all I could afford back then. I guess I can’t afford them either now. I do have a good 85 block with the oil return hole in front that I used for a short time until the bearings went kaput.

    Is it bad to change a GN color scheme?

    That was very well said. It was a good summary of what us old Buick guys feel and why we stay hooked to our v6.

    ATK Engines

    Had to test cause I was getting an oops message. I know this is a post from 2008 about ATK engines but I have been using one since 2008 and thought i’d give an update.

    Directscan won’t link.

    My directscan will not link for some reason. The port settings are correct and it worked fine in the past. I haven’t used it in awhile because my laptop would not start up. That is fine now so I tried it out but no luck. I cleaned all the connections on the computer and every pin. I checked...

I was able to buy some Very nice ones for my bmw that were ridiculously cheap. Of course they were...

    Bulb list? Unable to access pdf file that had a complete list. 86 GN

    Yeah, it’s a shame how much data has been lost. This whole world could be in a precarious position if this were to happen on a large scale. But thanks.

    Bulb list? Unable to access pdf file that had a complete list. 86 GN

    I searched for a list of all the bulbs in an 86 GN and a post appeared containing a pdf file with the info but I keep getting a sorry pop up and I can’t open it. Has it been relocated?

    Lost instrument panel wiring page from my body manual.

    Then that is the exact one I need. I had an analog dash. I thought you meant the schematic was for a digital dash. Thanks, I’m good to go!

    Lost instrument panel wiring page from my body manual.

    Thanks. That is basically what I need but does anyone know if the non digital harness is actually different?

    Lost instrument panel wiring page from my body manual.

    I printed the entire Buick body manual years ago. I don’t even know if it was on a disc or what. It’s not the stuff On gnttype.org and it was clear. My old eyes can’t read the schematics on that site. I seem to be missing the last pages of the manual. Does anyone have a clear schematic of the...
