Need a lil help

[Dj_UniQue]

hows it going guys. im new to the turbo buick world. just purchased a 1986 Grand National a year ago and dont know much about them. Wondering if anyone is located close to Los Angeles or the Inland Empire that wouldnt mind giving me a hand in helping me understand the car. Would like to learn as much as i can. so if anyone out there would like to give me some pointers or even better if u could meet up with me and check out the car for urself.. any help would be appreciated.

The car wasnt running when purchased. since then we got it running pretty good, put on precision 50# injectors, tt chip, alky system, new liters, push rods, has had a head job, new t66 turbo.

all in all i would just like to know more about the car so i can start doing some work myself n stop getting ripped off by people who only make shit worse..

thanks guys and looking forward to hearing from all u knowledgable guys.

i was told that it has a aeromotive pump.. or i should say at least thats what i paid to have put in.. havent dropped the tank yet, but i need to cuz the fuel level isnt working gonna have to put a new sending unit in so when th tan k is dropped i should see what kind of pump is in it.. no hotwire kit ( although after reviewing my paperwork it says i paid for one) . looks like stock maf and it does have a adj fuel regulator. car seems to be running pig rig tho.. cant seem to figure out why.. gotta really figure out these issues cause i would love to enjoy the car and drive it.. not just dump countless dollars into it and get nowhere.. ::frown::
