I just finished building a new shop for a hot rod builder here in Anaheim. I did the work for free and in return we are going to completely re engineer the chassis on the Buick with lots of custom stuff. We are going to get started after he gets back from SEMA.

Stay tuned...

I've had 2 different POS TR's for over 7 years, and have NEVER had the problems you have had - and I think you just don't care anymore. There's TONS of info and resources for tech info, what is stopping you?

I ran across a few more parts that I have for the
GN:
used A/C compressor
new reciever drier
new orifice tube

currently the A/C is the only thing not working in my cah, so
I plan on fixin' it when I replace the engine. I cleaned my block (again) last
week, and installed new cam bearings in it.
