« on: March 10 2014, 06:30:06 PM »
I was going through my garage and found this converter from my '87 Turbo Buick. 2680-L- stamped on it.


Any idea what brand or stall it is?


Thanks!

IHADAV8 Playground / Sold my WE4
« on: November 06 2011, 11:56:09 AM »
Well,

After all the work I done to my 87 WE4, I sold it. Missing it already!

Bought me a 78 Chevy Big 10 factory 454 with only 52K.

Friend removed this from his car to install an aluminum reinforcement.

Don't want to send it to the scrap yard, so make me an offer! (will post photos soon)

Send me an PM if you're interested.

Paint and Body / Front Seats and Paint
« on: September 29 2011, 12:30:50 PM »
Hello,

Since I finally got the car running again, I'm going to check on some interior parts/prices (seat covers, upper door panels, and headliner. (already bought new carpet) Bought two complete front GN seats for parts ($50). (Have already installed the power seat track on the drivers side) Will the passengers side foam fit the drivers side correctly? (Thinking it has less wear then the drivers side)

Then (if I am not too sticker shocked) I need to get a quote for a professional paint job! (clear coat from back in the early 90's is pealing off the hood and trunk lid) Texas heat is rough on paint and interior. Luckily there is no rust ! ! ! :)

Bitch/Whine/Moan / AC Oil Filter PF-52 Losing Prime ? ? ?
« on: September 27 2011, 02:39:28 AM »
Hello,

Got my engine back in the car a little while back. Done the whole break-in thing. Changed the oil and filter. (10-30, PF-52)

Took the car for a short drive (about 2 miles, no tags or inspection sticker  :player: ) got back let the engine run for about an hour changing the rpm while watching for any problems. Changed the oil and filter (10-30, PF-52)

My uncle passed away, so the car got put on the back burner. Finally got back to trying to get it ready to go again!

Got tags for the car so I might not get a ticket.  :023: Checked all the fluids, all good!

Drove it about 10 miles listening for anything that was not right. All was good. Stopped at a gas station to fill up the tank. Got back in the car and started it up, oil light did not go off ! ! !  :( Shut the engine off (never got it above an idle) and check the oil, full and perfectly clean.  :hmm Looked over everything I could at a gas station, but didn't see anything wrong. Started it again, no oil pressure ! ! ! Had it towed home. :shrug:

Asked a couple of members here what their thought were, then started checking it out. Pulled the cam sensor out and used a drill, had 60-75 psi. Ran the drill for about 10 minutes oil pressure stayed constant. Put the CS back in and unhooked the ecm plug by the battery. Used the starter to turn the engine over, no oil pressure!  :shrug: Pulled the CS again and used the drill. 60-75 psi. Let it sit for a while. Came back and started the drill off slow, it had no oil pressure. Increased the speed, and back to 60-75 psi.

Again talked to members here saying what I found. We decided to change the oil filter to another brand to see if the AC PF-52 was causing it to lose its prime. Installed new Fram oil filter and primed it with the drill again. Had 60-75 psi like before. Let it set for about 15 minutes, came back and started the drill off slow. At the low speed it had 20-35 psi instant. Put the car back together and started it. Let it run for about 45 minutes while watching the mechanical oil pressure gauge. At an idle it had about 25-30psi and about 55-60 when I raised the rpm. Turned it off and let it sit for about an hour. Came back started it up and all was good! :icon_super:

Don't know if it was just the one AC PF-52 that was the problem, or if they have a problem with their anti-drain back valves not working. Going to contact AC to inquire about this!

H O P E this problem is fixed ! ! ! Going to try again this weekend to go on a small trip. Again, I will have my phone FULLY charged and have the tow trucks number handy!  :powersix:

IHADAV8 Playground / Got tags for the car today ! ! ! :)
« on: September 16 2011, 06:31:06 PM »
WooHoo, got tags for the car today ! ! !  :icon_super:

Going to take it for a semi-long trip to break the engine in. As of now it has 2 miles of driving and about 6 hrs of running on it. (AAA is on speed dial and phone is fully charged!)  :icon_eyes: Have already changed the oil twice to hopefully make sure all is good.

Been a long time since I have driven it. First stop is the car wash.

Had an a/c vent that was broken, fixed that also!

My cost, $100.00 ! ! !  :icon_super:
