in 92, the park ave was still on the caprice frame, so i would say that around 96-97 would be when the park ave got a S/C. The series II would have also started around that time. some series II were...
I can't tell you for sure, but your car probably has highway gears, probably in the area of 2.81:1 or something. I would bet my bottom dollar that you dont' have anything higher than a 3.20:1 gear...
i'll put my money on the relay. change it out for the one that runs your fuel pump for a minute or 2 and see what happens.
however, if your bearings are blown, the relay is the least of your...
the most expensive paint job i ever heard of was 14000 US$ and that was for 11 coats of paint and 4 clear coats for a 57 chevy belair. mind you this was also a multi colour paint job and required a...
nothing even comes close to this site! :)
sorry i can't help, but if you find something, let me know, cuz im restoring a 68 coupe deville
no offence, but why are you using an 850cfm carb on your electra? that is ridicoulasly big, even for a stock 455. try moving down to something between 500-650 cfm, you'll probably get much better...
you'll have to go with whatever flywheel bolts up to both the crank of the 3.8, and the torque converter of the th400. you'll also have to keep in mind that since the flywheels have a different...
this sounds like a combination of 2 problems. the dieseling could be caused by some ugly carbon deposits built up in the combustion chambers since this car really hasn't been driven much over it's...
try using the parking brake, if you only put it on the first notch, you should be able to drive without causing the brakes to rub.
if that doesn't work, then other than pulling a relay or fuse, you...
your motor is NOT a buick motor. It's a GM corporate motor, and any bellhousing from any 3.8 rear wheel drive application will bolt up to it. as for flywheels, the only manual flywheels which will...
oil in the water cap is not a sign of a blown head gasket, it's a sign that your engine is collecting condensation because you either live in a very humid climate or you're not allowing your car to...
i have the 71 skylark service manual right here, and none of the numbers you have given fit in the table i have.
however, from what i've been told 68-71 skylarks are very much the same.
you're...
all 3.8s from that time period are the same and they will all mate with a 4t60. however, a 3.8 S/C will probably require a few other mods if you put it in a century, such as bigger C/V shafts, better...
i was putting the transmission back into a 94 riviera once, and when i got it back together it was making a loud tick/knock at idle. long story short, the flywheel was cracked and once i test drove...
most OEM replacement gas tanks are made of metal, but i think the tanks made for newer cars are now being made out of ABS plastic.
why do you have a problem with a plastic gas tank?
if anything,...
obviously you're dealing with an electrical problem here. i think what you need to think about is what parts of the car are affected by the cooling fan turning on, or more to the point, where the...
you should be able to find kits on the net for you to at least reference from for what needs to be replaced. im not positive that the booster needs to be replaced but i am sure that you'll have to...
i had a similar problem with our 91 regal. after chasing it all around it turned out to be the battery cables, somehow they we're shorting out and causing a drain, sometimes the battery would be...
sounds to me like you've got bad ignition wires. do you find that in wet weather the problem gets worse?
if i were you i'd change the plugs and wires and see what that does.
Good luck
Ben
the advantage ceramic pads hold over metallic or semi-metallic pads is that they produce very little brake dust - so that means much less black dust on your rims.
it's also been said that they can...
sounds like you've got a condensation problem in your ignition system. change the plugs and wires, and the distributor cap and rotor (if you have them). this should eliminate the problem.
hope...
dirt on the ABS sensors would not cause a problem, since they operate using magnetic fields.
However, when you changed the brake pads, you might have damaged the sensor head, or the sensor wheel....
they are definatly not the same as chevy small block motors.
if you're looking for headers, or any other part for the 350, try www.postonbuick.com or TAperformance.com
I don't know for sure, but i think it would stand to reason that if the seat covers are only offered for 93-96, they won't fit properly on your 91.
