I never see it down here in Georgia.  Would be nice though, to have a Turbo Regal set up for it.

Why do people continue to go to him when there are good, reputable shops that specialize in Turbo Regals that don't have these types of issues?  Thanks Earl!!

There really is no comparison to the quality of new cars today vs. the mid 80's GN, especially for a daily driver type vehicle.

Just purchased the tester.  I did not know about that.  I think it is cheap insurance to test it before driving since my car sits for so long in between use.  Thanks for the info.

That sucks.  Sorry to hear that.  Hopefully you can salvage it if you want to.

Funny I was just thinking about replacing mine with spherical rod ends to eliminate bind.

They can last a while as long as no leaded gas is used.

I have had the HR Poly mounts for 14 years and have worked great, no problems.  They raised the engine up a good bit and lifted the downpipe off the frame compared to the old saggy stockers they replaced.
