    Digital Cluster Speedometer

    Hey guys, I recently installed a new (used) digital cluster in my 84 Regal to hopefully repair the issue I was having with the previous one which was not having any speed reading or any digital trip odometer reading. While I always have a speed of "0" displayed and a constant number for the trip...

    HVAC Control Unit

    I am fortunate enough to have the super high tech digital interior in my 1984 Buick Regal :blam:. I am a little stuck with the climate control system in the car and how it works. I believe it is vacuum operated using some of the lines in the photos below, but I can't be sure. Hard to remember...

    Digital Cluster Removal

    Okay here is my one free "dumb question" for the month...I'm in the middle of removing the digital cluster from my 84 Regal. I have the speedo cable and the ground cable(???) removed, so its just the wiring. I can't figure out the clip or how the harness is clipped to the back of the cluster...

    JEGS Exhaust

    Hey all, So I was looking at getting one of the JEGS dual exhaust kits for the G-Bodies, for my 84 Regal specifically. Just wondering if there was any feedback, good or bad, on the kits...install, components, sound etc. I am aware i should be getting one of the JEGS cross member / transmission...

    Temperature Sending Unit(s) and Electric Gauges

    Hello again to all those smarter than myself. I recently got a 3 gauge electric style cluster from summit racing. I was going to wire it up today. It all seems pretty simple to me however I was wondering about the sending unit for the water temp gauge. The gauges came with sending units for...

    Digital Dash - Speedometer

    Hi all, So finally driving my car again and was thinking it might be time to get the ole speedometer working! My car is an '84 Regal with a digital dash. The fuel gauge indicator works fine, its just the speedometer and associated bits that don't work, so no odometer, and the trip meter...

    Transmission Questions

    Well back on the hunt for a TH350 then...I know they were used in a tonne of a different applications and vehicles over the years. Is one better than the other (truck vs car model) anything like that. I know tail shaft lengths can be different but just need to know if they can all be used for...

    Transmission Questions

    ...And let the dissapointment settle in...TH250 it is. Oh well, I guess i'm back on the hunt for a TH350! I'm assuming the TH250 isnt worth a rebuild?

    Transmission Questions

    Hello experts and people smarter than myself...So for the longest time i assumed my car (1984 Buick Regal, V8) had a TH200 transmission, which i beleive came from the factory on some of these cars. Well today i was going to replace the pan gasket on the trans pan to stop some leaking and behold...

    Transmission not going into PARK

    Hey all, so simple issue that I can't figure out. I can put the car into PARK on the column, or at least to the highest position the column but the trans is still in reverse. I can't see any interference on the linkage with the exhaust or any thing else holding up the linkage. I was able at...

    Column / ignition cylinder fixing

    I think me and my test light can manage that! Hooray for frustration.

    Column / ignition cylinder fixing

    So what you're telling me is that I'm doing all the right stuff and should look further down the line...like maybe the starter is pooched? Man am I feeling dumb right now. :oops:

    Column / ignition cylinder fixing

    Okay I get that part....but if I can still use the switch to turn the car "on" should i not be able to just push that button to bump the starter? This is where the electrical work turns into magic.

    Column / ignition cylinder fixing

    Okay, so here is where I'm at. STUCK! My goal here is to be able to start the car, hopefully without needing the column for anything other than having the car in PARK so the neutral safety (which apparently isn't called a neutral safety on these cars) is engaged and will allow the starter will...

    Column / ignition cylinder fixing

    Thanks for the lead on the Rack & Sector gear. I'm going to pick that up later today. You can see in one of my photos above that the spring int there is looking pretty mashed. Do we know if Dorman makes a new one of those!? I was just looking on the Dorman help website and I'm thinking its...

    Column / ignition cylinder fixing

    So i found the culprit (see photos)...And I'm pretty sure I'm boned. So who out there has a decent column in blue!! So in the meantime i need the solution to let me work the starter. I'm thinking there must be a way to complete the key on circuit, them use a push start type button to activate...

    Column / ignition cylinder fixing

    I'm pretty sure this is exactly what has happened. I'm thinking new column is the way to go...I was thinking that before, just to replace the busted plastic, but now I think I'm pushed into that corner. Any other good resources out there for used columns outside of ebay? I'm prettu sure the...
