Nice ride. Do I see a/c on the car?
Great picture!
Call them and ask. Maybe that is the difference in price. One being the pump and other assembly and pump. They quoted from just over thirty dollars to over 100. I hope one will work for you.
I guess it aint there then. I just talked with Autozone and they said they could order the fuel pump for your 79 Skyhawk. They gave two prices. Big difference in the two but insisted they were for...
There isn't a lobe. There is a freeze plug type thing called a eccentric. It's off center in there so you won't notice a lobe. The hole and bolt in it is off center so it acts like a lobe in...
The 79 Skyhawk did come with an in-tank pump. It also had a 3.8 L engine. It shows that there are two engine vin codes, A and 2. I believe the 2 means that it has a two bbl carb and no turbo. ...
My 79 Regal has a mechanical pump (3.8) on the engine. I don't know anything about the Skyhawk tank but maybe the pickup in the Regal tank would fit in yours. Is there a plate over the fuel pump...
I had to take the air pump off the engine to do some work around the distributor. The pump blocks up that whole area of the engine. Is there any good reason I need to put that pump back on? It...
After reading the two articles I see what you mean! The first one was really discouraging! Will the 455 bbb fit in the 79 Regal? The rear end of the car is built to handle anything, I don't know...
I was reading back over this post and electrolysis jumped out at me. Bob, you said it is sometimes a problem on v6's. Would it eat away the water pump or the block where they come together? One...
frostyvision69 has a 86 Regal. I have a 79 and was wanting to do an engine swap too (mine is a v6 turbo). Are the chassis the same? The shape of my trans pan seems to indicate a th350. Please let...
I have been trying to remember where I had seen an article on the old 231 turbo that the author had modified. Well you can't believe how surprised I was when I clicked on one of the forums you...
Let me explain what is going on here. I have a 1979 Buick Regal with a 231 turbo in it. For me to get the performance I want out of it will cost a chunk of $'s. I saw that one of the factory...
I'm drawing a blank on the sbc block. Would it make a difference when using my transmission? SBC, you lost me.
Thanks, I was hoping that was correct. The Lesabre engine is probably a 2 bolt main. Could it take 6000 rpm if rebuilt with some new parts? My enter key isn't working here. Maybe my keyboard is...
My Buick 1979 Chassis Service Manual shows the 350 ci engine with the distributor in the rear. I am told that is because it's a Chevy engine. Is that true? My manual also says the only difference...
ain't you a ray of sun shine! I just want to be able to drive it around while i get the chassis in good repair. it was running fine when i parked it in 1998. the texas sun melted all the goop out...
Thanks for the sites. The first two were no help but Antique Auto was. One thing led to another and I found it in Edinboro PA. at JAYS Auto Wrecking. Thanks again!
I have been to many car sites and never gotten an answer. Lets see what happens here!I have a 1979 Buick Regal with a 231 ci v6 with a turbo. I believe the turbo controller (the black box on the...
