I contemplated creating my own thread,  "all about my buick thread 2" but humility,  pride,  and the lack of self importance prevented me from doing so.

Damn it.....

So my pile is pretty good looking,... 

I bought her 2-3 years ago from a family I have known for 35 plus years.  The original owner had some tricks but kept her fairly stock... Any tricks and secrets I will know eventually. 

Story was a few years ago, I was looking at a t-type on flea bay.  Rare cream colored 87,  tan interior,  low mileage etc, etc...

At the time I think about a few different cars,  gn,   cts-v,  etc.  I had 9k burning a hole in my pocket.  Sent the auction to my friend John.  He shoots back "your looking at GN's?"... " mine and my dad's is for sale... ". 

I reply I can't afford yours let me look at your dad's.  I had no idea that the old man had this car.  I remember him taking us to car shows in his 66 chevelle when I was young and into high school..  (" Fat kid's in the front,  rest of you in the back ") .....

Will be post more about the GN and about the Chevelle tommorow.

Long as draw is low and you have a good battery you can leave it for long periods like that.

Anything longer probably best to put a tender on it.

Tim Hortons, I love that place.  I swear they put crack in the coffee it is,  so freaking good.

Too bad there isn't one local to me.  :-[

Sounds like you have something drawing more than it should.  I am no expert but have a nice little face tube link for you.

The movie mentions that the draw should be no more than 55ma. 

You have an aftermarket stereo?  If so then that would be the first place to look.  Or start unplugging relays and see if that cuts down on the draw?

Good to know, thank you for clarifying :-)

Dumb question but if the diaphragm was torn then wouldn't fuel leak from the vacuum fitting on the regulator?

Undo the 6 allen head screws & take a look at the diaphram. If it isn't torn then it's probably fine. Thats all they include in a rebuild kit. Pretty unusual for them to tear as they are quite strong.

I will have to keep an eye on the o2 sensor.  Looks like I will have to do some research into them.  I see caspers offers it with the denso 4 wire and cottons offers the same kit with another name brand ( the brand escapes me). 

Thanks for the heads up on the heated sensors. 

heated o2 sensors lose range with age instead of coding.  Some of them also seem to be calibrated differently and may produce lowered gas mileage.

Use a small piece of garden hose pressed to one ear and ear plug in the other.  The hose will help in isolating the sound.
