Greetings!
I just bought my first car, a 1981 Buick LeSabre 2 door with a 307 Olds from South Phoenix a month ago and it's a bit of a fixer upper but it works and I have every intention to restore it slowly but surely. I am the third owner of this car. I just started visiting this website about 2 days ago and decided to register. I was informed of this website by a friend and he said this is the place to go for advise. When I bought the car it had a terrible idle thanks to a Q-Jet, which I love the concept of the Q-Jet but it needs to be rebuilt and I don't know much about their internals so I put a Holley 4150 600cfm 4bbl with vacuum secondaries since I know Holleys a lot better and this one was sitting around. It adds a decent performance boost and makes sh*t work until I can learn more about Q-Jets. I did a tune-up. Replaced the oil/filter, spark plugs, wires, dist. cap, rotor. I also changed the transmission fluid, seal (was leaking) and filter. Right now as seen in my avatar my car is still down for maintenance as I am replacing the power steering pump/reservoir. My cooling system is somewhat aftermarket, the previous owner told me it has a 3 core radiator with a racing fan which I'm trying to identify.
I hope that was a good introduction.
