A/C repairs
I just pulled the AC from my car and it was switched to 134A . I never used the AC so I pulled it for more room in the engine bay . I was going to just stash the parts but I don't plan on selling the car or putting it back to stock . Message me if you are interested in any of the parts . Sam- dynoman

Oil filter not filling up
Make sure the sender down by the filter didn't get bumped and lost contact with the connector which are usually in bad shape .- dynoman

Knock knock......
First , list all your mods to the car in your signature so we don't have to ask " do you have this or that " . I'll assume you have a Scanmaster ...correct ? If you don't have a Powerlogger , get one . It will help narrow down any issues . Also are you checking alky pump pressure ? Just because...- dynoman

Things that buick should have got right the first time
My 86 had both . Maybe it was changed for 87 because of the reduced headroom with the astroroof and the power seat not as low as a standard seat . I'm only 5'7" and the roof was close , someone 6' or more would be rubbing !!- dynoman

That's a great price if you weren't a GM employee . I ordered mine in Nov of 85 and got it in March 86 . $14,900 loaded , Astro roof , digital dash , touch climate control , I just checked off the all the options .....except the power antenna !! We made it at Delco Products and I knew that it...- dynoman

Carnage from GS Nationals !!
It probably wouldn't hurt . It looks like the cracking started at the main cap bolt holes and grew from there . The fact that the stock 109 block was being subject to 150+hp/hole pushing a 3800lb car and survived as long as it did is pretty impressive . I'll be putting the car on a diet and...- dynoman

Carnage from GS Nationals !!
Took the motor to Dave Husek yesterday and we completely tore it down . At first look , amazingly the only thing that looks bad is the block !! Everything will be magnafluxed & check for straightness ...even the bearings surfaces looked like new and not loose .- dynoman

Carnage from GS Nationals !!
Maybe stage II , the TA block with machining would be north of $11000 . I'm taking the motor & trans to Dave Husek to see what we can reuse from both . For now I'll probably put the old motor back in so I have my car for the summer . It will still be a ride as I went 10.33 with it before it was...- dynoman

Carnage from GS Nationals !!
Boost was at 29-30psi . Still working on getting it out of the hole , but it was making a ton of power after about 200' and pulled hard all the way out the back door to 142mph . The tune was spot on with no anomalies. The car is heavy @ 3800lbs so that's a lot of strain on the motor . I've said...- dynoman

Carnage from GS Nationals !!
On my 5th and final pass at about the 1/8 mile my motor had enough , oiled the track ( didn't realize how bad it was ) & coasted to the return road , pulled next to the grass and watched a puddle of oil form .- dynoman
