    What is a good OBD 2 code reader / scanner

    Ok, not really a Buick specific question, but it is for my tow vehicle and I value the knowledge base of the people on this site. What is a good OBD 2 code reader / scanner? It seems all the electronic testers are import these days and that makes it difficult to compare. To set the stage I’m...

    New, current updated Michigan thread.

    Macomb county, south of Hall then driving up to Romeo. I knew I was going to have an interesting drive (5:30 am) after I backed out of the driveway. I put it in drive, took my foot off the brake and the back end went sideways. Once in the parking lot at work I almost got stuck in 2 inches of...

    Wow...I don't want to ever do that again. Driving to work this morning with worn out Drag Radials was a real white knuckle ride.

    Timing vs Duty cycle

    I was out doing some street tuning with alky and I would swear that when I pulled about 4 degrees of timing out my injector duty cycle also dropped from @ 92 to 86 %. What I don't understand is why would duty cycle be affected by the timing? This does not make sense to me.

    3.2 196 buick v6, anything good about it?

    Mike, I have that block in my garage. ( Just up the street from you again if this is in fact the same block ) I picked it up from Dave, who I know got stuff from you over the years. It’s funny I had a feeling you might know something about this block. Many on this board don’t realize how long...

    3.2 196 buick v6, anything good about it?

    Here are a couple pictures of a 3.2 block I have. It’s a 1979 virgin block with a casting number 1261785 the bores are under the 3.500” that would have been used in production. I would guess the girdle dates back to around 1979. At one time I’m sure this block was intended for a performance...

    Intake port opinion.

    Bolt hole break thru into the intake port. This is a GN1R head. Just curios if this is a common thing when the head has been converted to a stand style rocker arm setup? How bad is this on port flow? Would this be a good candidate for epoxy to close it up?

    It was a great outing, I arrived at the tracks holding area Thursday morning @ 9:00 with a group of racers and was already number 125. Other then the Tech inspection taking a good bit of time to get all the cars thru, Norwalk really knows how to put on an event like this. My main goal was to...
