    Where to buy a new Ta-49?

    Before you do anything else, you need to a full spring cleaning. If it's been sitting then I can guarantee there are issues that a simple turbo swap will not fix. Any of the new small bb turbos will outperform a 49.

    Rear end recommendations

    stock 3.42. Eaton regular posi lock is very good 28 spline. Trutrac if you are going for higher hp. Regardless go with aftermarket axles. I prefer Strange.

    Racetronix fuel pressure regulator leaking

    I gave up on my Accufab years ago. There was a post years ago that showed how poor the machining was on them. Raising FP on stock regulator & Accufab junk

    Racetronix fuel pressure regulator leaking

    It comes with 2 sized spacers. The thinner spacers are for the stock rail. They go between the rail mount and the regulator. The long spacers are for aftermarket rails. It's a very nice piece. It was easy to set the pressure. The old Kirbans one kept increasing the idle pressure. I had it set to...

    Racetronix fuel pressure regulator leaking

    I had to go fishing for those damn spacers a couple of times which just added to my frustration. Aluminum so no magnet retrieval.

    Racetronix fuel pressure regulator leaking

    Ok, resolved. I undid the return line and attached the regulator to the rail on it's own. I held it flat againt the inside mating surface and tightened it. The return line is braided ss teflon and it must have been cocking the regulator just enough not to seal well.

    Racetronix fuel pressure regulator leaking

    The spacers I have are aluminum. The only reason I think the spacers need to be thinner is the first time I tightened the screws to what I do the regular 10mm bolts and it leaked bad. When I redid it, I really tightened it and now there is a small trickle. I'll have to remove it again and see if...

    Racetronix fuel pressure regulator leaking

    I installed a new Racetronix fuel pressure regulator using the thin spacers on the stock fuel rail. It's leaking at the rail. I got it tightened strongly and it's still leaking some. I double checked the o ring to make sure I didn't pinch it or if it had a defect but it looks fine. I replaced it...

    hood struts - suggestions on which to get?

    I tried those and found them too strong. I didn't like the feeling it might bend the hood. I went with Highway Star's correct ones and they are perfect albeit more expensive.

    If you drive the highway a lot then you don't want a Turbo 400.

    Cold Case Radiator Top Plate

    My F body one just fell in. I don't use the oil cooler so that didn't matter. I have an aftermarket trans cooler and would have had to make up the lines anyway so that's a wash. The lower hose is about 2" higher but it doesn't affect the alinement. Temps stay at 170. Works for me.

    Any financial gurus? (Doubt it if you have an 80's buick lol)

    My boss bought 4 multi family rental properties. They needed tons of work and even doing as much as possible himself and his brother couldn't get enough of the units rentable. Went into bankruptcy get rid of 2 worst. Even with just 2 he couldn't wait for them to appreciate enough to brake even...
