General Buick Tech / Wipers stuck on

« on: October 09 2021, 12:07:59 PM »

I’ve been working on my various electrical issues and finally replaced the turn signal stalk. Cruise control now works but I still have a wiper problem. They stay on all the time. I had a switch across a blown fuse to get by 
The wipers are still running with the new stalk in. HELP!

A/C, Heating and Cooling / Diagram for A/C vacuum lines

« on: September 20 2021, 05:48:51 PM »

HELP! I fixed the vac line going to the distribution block and my a/c was working, dash vents, floor, etc. A few days later it went back to floor only. I have/ can hold vacuum on the line going to distro block. When I take the line that's going from the vac box on pass side down into the fender that line won't hold a vacuum.
Does anyone have a diagram showing where this goes, and the whole system too?
A/C works great as far as being cold. New compressor and cleaned out condenser. R-12 does work great in this system.

General Buick Tech / Baldwin oil filter source - CHEAP-ish

« on: September 14 2021, 12:03:39 PM »

I just got got my Biggie adapter and searched for a cheap(er) Baldwin source. Found one, but you have to buy a case of 12. Even with shipping they are $7.75. There is a 2 week delivery gap too.
Just thought I'd pass that along.

Transmissions / Trans doesn't shift - in D/OD all the time

« on: September 09 2021, 02:14:15 PM »

I finally got my 84 T close to being right. (Can't say finished, never finished)  . I am having transmission problems. I know nothing about auto transmissions. It seems like it is in D or OD all the time. It is slow off the line and it doesn't go through the gears. If I'm driving it doesn't downshift. If I'm going 30, 40 mph and put the shifter in 2 or 1 it doesn't change.
It's the same if I put it in 1, 2, D whatever. I get no reaction.
HELP!

Hi, just joined the forum today. I found this link on the Turbobuick site. I have an Autumn Mist 1984 T Type. I've owned it since 1994, and have been going through a restoration since last fall. Had the motor rebuilt, bored .030" over, forged rods and Pistons, 48lbs. injectors, rebuilt turbo, rebuilt heads, jet hot coated, adj fuel pressure, 2:1/2" SS headers, electric fan conversion, 87 ECU and coli pack.  Working on the interior, new headliner, carpet, seat covers, and door panels. New bumpers and fillers.
Hope to get some good info here, and find some Buick Turbo people in the area.
