    manifold vacuum ?

    I have a 1987 Buick 231 V6 non/computer carb or turbo. I notice that when I apply the brakes hard the car wants to stall. It' feels like the vacuum in the carb gets robbed and that's why it wants to stall out. I was wondering if there's a constant vacuum on the manifold that I could hook the...

    I still can't believe it, just laughing

    Thanks for the offer, but I just got the distributor. I don't know if there's any difference between computers for a V8 or V6, I forgot to mention I have a 231 V6.

    time to swap engines

    Well my '87 buick regal limited, it's coming to that time to swap the v6(or rebuild it) or swaping to a v8. I have a bad engine knock v6 and being a car guy, it doesn't sound good at all. I was thinking of having the 231 v6 rebuilt and putting goodies into it. Or then there's the other route by...

    astro steering shaft and steering pump noise

    I installed an astro steering shaft today and the steering is so much tighter. I have a question about the steering pump, it makes noise now. When I make a turn, I can hear noise from the steering pump. It sounds like air rushing in though the steering column when I turn left or right. I open...

    Headlights only work with hibeam switch

    So I think the problem is in the steering column. Here's the problem I'm dealing with my 1987 Buick regal. If I turn on the heading light switch I have all lights, tail lights, rev and brake lights work and so does the turn signals and no headlights. But if I turn on the hi beam switch, all the...

    Left/ Right turn signals not working

    I want to thank every one for the information on helping with this problem.. Well like the saying goes, I opened a can of worms. I took the steering column apart. I think I'm just better off at this point to replace the whole column. It needs to be rebuilt on top of replacing the turn signal...
