Just replaced all the rubber on my doors (roof rail, door strip, inner and outer window sweeps) with Metro and Steele products. Now the door is a lot harder to close and the windows won't go all the way up unless I open the door - they bind on the rubber. Will the new rubber compress any over...

I want to flush the cooling system but the tap water here is really hard. If I do the garden hose flush method, how do I get all that water out of the block?

I drove my Regal from California to Missouri a couple weeks ago. On the way, there are two mountain ranges to climb over, often at 6% grade. After climbing 7000 feet to Flagstaff, I stopped for gas and saw that my overflow tank was overflowing. I pulled out my thermometer and the coolant in...

Anyone know where you can get OEM style sound deadening material and the waterproof brown paper for the door panels? All the summit/jegs/etc seem to carry are the expensive Dynamat stuff.

I got my headlight bezels stolen back in November. Damn things are expensive and hard to find. Finally found replacements on eBay, getting them soon. I want to know if anyone knows of a way to affix these things to the car well enough so that someone can't just pull them off again, but not so...

Anyone have the numbers for torque and horsepower through engine speed for the 3.8 V6s?

So I recently put in a 200-4R and got some vibration problems. After some researching, it seems that this is a common problem with overdrive swaps when it puts the engine RPM down too low and the driveshaft at high speeds. The recommended solution is a higher rear end ratio. I've got the...

Installed a Bowtie OD-built 200-4R this past week. So far, it's really done wonders for my fuel economy, which was a big reason I got the thing. Made a big mistake, though... accidently ordered the 2200 stall converter instead of the 1800 stall, so that cuts a little into efficiency and makes...

While poking under my hood, I noticed that the last time my carburetor was off I forgot to plug the choke heater wire in when I put it back. It's been running like that for about a year, but since I'm in a fairly warm climate it's never been a problem. I plugged it back in anyway and the first...

I'm doing a little straightening up around the Regal... My right-hand footwell courtesy light has just been hanging by its wires. Where, on the plastic/sound deadener panel, is this thing supposed to attach?

Now that I know where to get the intake manifold I need, I want to put a Quadrajet on my 1984 Buick 231 instead of the stock Dualjet. My father recently replaced his 1986 Suburban's Quadrajet with an Edelbrock QJet. Can I just take that Quadrajet and bolt it on with no problems? The...

The Trans-Dapt universal crossmembers are less than half the G-Force crossmembers. Anyone have any experience, good or bad, with these? A new transmission is going to be expensive enough...

So I may be planning on driving my (bone stock) Regal from California to Missouri and back this summer. This requires crossing a bit of American desert and plains in June and August. What would you recommend that I do to ensure I don't get stranded?

Okay, so I've read a little about swapping a 3800 Series II into the G body. Not common, but it's been done. I like the idea of keeping my Buick a Buick. I'm not going to do it yet. I don't have the money. I do, however, have a little saved up for a new transmission. I want either a 700R4 or a...

New or rebuilt, not junkyard stock. I want to get one but I have no idea what is good and what is rip-off pricing. Searching online and on craigslist gives a huge price range.

What's the easiest way to find out the coolant temperature? Do you need something special or is there a way to just stick a temperature probe from a multimeter somewhere?

I'm not asking if the Club is a good theft prevention device, I know it's pretty easily bypassed by a pro. However... Last night my window got smashed, locks busted, ignition cylinder jimmied, and random wires pulled out. I say random wires because I still haven't checked my wiring diagram...

Chrysler expects to have a "range-extended" electric vehicle in showrooms at the same time as Chevy expects to have the Volt out. Additionally, they're planning on having a pure electric Lotus-based Dodge out - presumably somewhat lower spec'd and lower priced than the Tesla Roadster. What I...

link 46 years after the Buick Fireball V6 was created, 35 years after it went to its 231 CID form, GM has stopped production of the 3800 Series engines. Truly one of the best engines ever made. It powers my 1984 Regal, my wife's 1999 Regal, and a supercharged Series II was in my 1997...

As noted in another thread, I had been having trouble with my vent/heater blower. One problem turned out to be the resistor but even on high I don't get strong airflow. I was going to get a new blower motor, but... My power windows are slow. Really, really slow. I figured that the motors...
