Power Master 30 amp fuse keeps blowing
One other cause of a burnt up pump motor is when the check valve in the boost side of the master leaks. This will cause the system to lose pressure and run the motor to pump it back up. I had the master on my T-Type do this. It would cycle every 15 to 20 seconds. This caused a LOT of unneeded...- wdxwrx

Power Master 30 amp fuse keeps blowing
Agreed. They work great. They will last a long time if you take care of them. The most important thing to do is change the brake fluid OFTEN! I do it every year. If it looks like dirty motor oil, you've waited waaaay too long. I also pump the pedal (decompress the system) with the key off if I'm...- wdxwrx

84 GN Original Interior
You may be better off switching to an 85-87 interior. The parts are easier to find, and repro stuff is available.- wdxwrx

Third brake light removal
Simply hook it up to the connector, then very lightly push the brake pedal. You shouldn't have to push the pedal more than an inch to light the brake light. Or, push the brake light switch that's mounted by the pedal. Or, hook 12 volts to the two terminals on the 3rd brake light. Polarity won't...- wdxwrx

steering wheel options for GN
I just bought one from Mario 2 months ago. It wasn't cheap (none of them are cheap). The wheel is awesome. Looks great and he send it quickly and packed it well. I'm very happy with it.- wdxwrx

hood struts - suggestions on which to get?
I had NAPA struts on my car. I always felt like I was going to bend the hood when closing it. I bought new ones from Highway Stars. They work perfect. The parts they sell, and their customer service is always top notch.- wdxwrx

86/87 Regal Cigarette lighter
A nice knob is what you need. The element is the same from most GM lighters of the era. It just unscrews from the knob.- wdxwrx

GNX in halftime show
I don't like the look of anything modified on a TR. My GN is 100% bone stock (I just put a new set of Eagle GT tires on it). My Monte Carlo and T-Type have some driveline improvements. Other than that, they are 100% stock appearing. I've seen plenty of heavily modified TRs over the years, as we...- wdxwrx

Interesting find..
It's possible. A lot of techs were not good at diagnosing problems with these new high-tech cars in the late 80's and early 90's. Discovered a similar issue with a GN I bought in 1989. The car was burned. It was obvious that it was set on fire. I parted the car out. After I took the body off...- wdxwrx
