They had the good crank with the rolled journal fillets, which was not the case with the NA engine of that era. These days, all the 3.8L Buick engines have...
Interesting about the crank journal fillets. I think we all learn something each day on these discussion lists! I was just curious about an intake manifold and...
That is a direct link to my computer's shared folder, my computer has to be functioning and on the Internet for that link to work. The DSL has been up and...
Well, not knowing anything at all about Buicks, that certainly looks like an OEM installation to me. I would think that it might be worth something to...

For the wife's car. Its a 45mm hole in the floorpan and somehow the rubber plug is MIA and water is getting in. I called around and apparently there are no...
Seems like a large energy expenditure for $13. If you have to drive a few miles and pay $5 for a used part....have you really saved anything? ... From: Kevin...
I was recently turned on to a tape found at plumbers supply houses. This stuff sticks to ANYTHING and stays there. I used it to tape a spray can lid to the...

Jimmie, Yesterday was 81, today a lot colder, only going to reach 70. The deer here look like large german shepard dogs. Not much size to them at all. Of...
Hey to make y'all feel bad, I woke up to 66°F here in Northport, AL this morning. Had to use the A/C to cool the house so I could get to sleep last night. It...
Jimmie, From all the TV "science" shows I have seen on global warming it seems that the intense warming actually precedes an ice age. One show claimed that if...
