General Buick Tech / Re: razor's alky pump
« on: June 20 2018, 06:28:26 PM »
At the moment the car is basically all stock, except for the basic stuff, chip, pump, fpr.  Performance stuff is pretty low on my priority list at the moment, just trying to go through some of the stuff I have.


I doubt the car will ever see much track time, since most of the tracks are a decent hike from Barrie down to Brad's area.  My plan was basically fun street car, that isn't a pain in the ass on the street either. 


They do autocrossing in town here, so that might actually be something I one day would like to try.  Sounds like if I'm not planning balls to the walls, put the kit back on the shelf until that crosses my fancy.


thanks guys

General Buick Tech / razor's alky pump
« on: June 19 2018, 09:21:05 PM »
Hey guys


years ago I bought a used alky kit from Norbs, and I never got around to installing it.  At the time he suggested replacing the diaphragm in the pump before using it.   In the box of stuff he sent me, it came with a new one in a bag.  Just wondering are guys rebuilding their own pumps? If they are, where are they getting parts for the pumps.   I don't see pump parts on the alkycontrol site.   I guess I'm just asking is it worth trying to rebuild these things, or just stop being cheap and buy a new one for 160 bucks.

well I followed everyone's advice.  I grabbed a beer, stared at the valve cover while drinking the beer, realized I'd spent the previous time trying to install the valve cover on backwards, cursed myself out, flipped it around and it popped on without an effort.  Thanks for everyone's help.   :icon_redface:

thanks guys,  It seems to be catching on the steel heater lines for me on the intake.  I might just drain the coolent, pull them off and try again.  I'll try to get this cover on in less time than brad takes to pull a motor in his car, or I'll just feel silly lol.

General Buick Tech / valve cover install
« on: May 26 2018, 04:44:29 PM »
I pulled my passenger side valve cover with the motor still in the car about 6 months ago.  I've forgotten how I was able to get the stupid thing out when I went to reinstall it today.  I've got it almost all the way on, but Its catching on stuff for the last inch or two.   I remember having to bar the engine over to get the rockers out of the way to get it off, but I haven't moved the engine since then.   Any tips or suggestions?

The leafs are making the playoffs this year.  The main thing is their D corp is so-so at best.  They can't keep throwing a 37 year old hainsey out for the minutes they are giving him, or he's gonna be useless by april.  Polak isn't really an addition, I'd be happier if they gave Carrick the time instead.    They'll figure out their stuff and come out of this slump, they just need to really tighten up defensively.

The plan is to finally replace all the suspension bushings as they are original, and maybe finally get my door windows properly adjusted.

jason, don't worry you already told me where to get them.   I'm thrilled to see the savings in buying them.   If I was within 10 hours drive I'd definitely come and visit, but I'm up in Scoobs part of the world.

Seat covers look good to me.  I'd be happy if mine weren't faded pink.

Hey Jason, where did you get the seat covers from?  I'd love to redo my pillow top seat covers in my limited.

my complaint about our canadian news anyways (don't have cable, and I certainly wouldn't waste my time with any cable news) is that most of the things you find in the paper are opinion pieces verses actual investigate pieces or reporting on whats going on.  So on one side its piece after piece of opinions passed as news and on the other is a guy that couldn't tell the truth to save his life.   It's just a whole fucking mess. Don't even get me started on misleading clickbait headlines.

Hey Mike


My aunt has had her cochlear implant for about 10 years and she loves hers.  She had slowly lost her hearing over her lifetime due to illness as a kid.   She's in her 50's and from my understanding they don't like doing them in adults anymore.  It's amazing the technology that we have, and what it can do for people.
