Anyone else go to the BCA meet in Danvers, MA? I didn't make it but my brother did. Have a look at http://www.flickr.com/photos/65093156@N08/sets/72157627156855254/ (I think that link should work, but not positive) -Bob C.

Hi All- We recently equipped our garage with a nice set of automotive tire mounting & balancing machines. I'm happy to provide tire services to anyone in the eastern-Mass area. The garage is in Reading, MA. If you just want some tirerack tires mounted, or want to put on some snowtires, or...

I think I hear that the BCA National Meet was going to be in Danvers, MA either in 2010 or 2011. Anyone know about this? Danvers is only about 20 minutes from where I live.

Okay, here's the deal. I got my current Buick from my grandmother in 1986 (for a dollar), who died two weeks later. Almost as if she knew she was going to die, and she wanted to make sure this car was taken care of before she passed on. It was my first car, and it was my year-round daily driver...

With last summer's gas prices, I barely got to drive my Buick. This was despite the 2.56 and almost 16 MPG highway, which is virtually perfect for lots of driving. Unfortunately I had to revert to my 30+ MPG 4-cyl Saturn. Almost 100 miles per day is a lot of driving, and the extra MPGs were...

Long story short: I'm in Mass. I gave my Sportwagon to my father in FL. Then the tranny blew up. Then he brought the car to someone who wants $1,700 to rebuild the tranny!!!! Now Dad has decided to junk the sportwagon, but the car is just too nice for that. Since he doesn't want it any more I...

Time to sell my Sportwagon. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&viewitem=&item=120204554012 -Bob Cunningham

A few months ago, my Sportwagon had a bit of a collision with a very stationary garage. After much parts collecting (on a very tight budget), today I got the car back together with the help of my brother and a friend. It required a new (used) hood, fan shroud, radiator, front bumper, hood latch...

I have a '68 sportwagon that had an unfortunate meeting with a stationary object a few weeks ago. Amongst other things, I am trying to find a new core support. What are my options here? I assume the '68-9 a-body buicks are a given, but what about '70 - 72? What about olds/pontiacs? Any advice...

On the left-hand column of the main page, there are tri-shields. They appear to be black & white for sections with no new posts, and colored ones for sections with new posts. The problem is that they are very hard to tell apart. Can we change those images to ones that are more easily...

It is a big file (93 meg), so be careful! Anyhow, this is my car, back in 1992. I won our college smokeshow contest! I have never seen another burnout even come close to this one, totally in a league of its own. (Have you?) http://deekster.homeip.net/~derek/Bob/smokeshow.avi The rugby game...

I have a 350-2 in my new Sportwagon. The only thing I can figure out how to tune is the idle mixture. Are there other ways to tune this carb? No one seems to know anything about it! (Including me!) Thanks, -Bob Cunningham

Title pretty much sums it up. Took my '69 Special in for an alignment, the right wheel had -2.1 degrees of caster and that is the closest he could get. Left wheel had -0.6. This is a good mechanic that I trust, and have known for years. He mentioned the possiblility of a bent spindle... is...

I am trying to learn what's been going on. My car has been missing a cylinder for a few months, finally I wound up sending the fuel injectors out to PTE. They tested all the fuel injectors out, all but one was normal. It's the abnormal one that I want to learn about. They said that the...

I have a '69 Special Deluxe. It came from the factory with a 350-2 / 2-speed, no A/C. Ever since I can remember (I've had the car since '86), the car dumps about about a gallon of gasoline out the vent tube after I fill up. It happens while I'm parked, so I know it is a matter of expansion...
