my wagon

[Tuffregal83]

I have been looking for a wagon for a very long time and it had to be a 83 regal wagon
cause i have 83 regal done and 3 other 83 project regals but anyway
like i need another project so saw this on ebay back in march so I
made an offer and I got it. here are a few pics of it.
they said the intake was cracked at thermostat housing but it was not. and said it was not running.
so i got it home and they had the distributor two teeth off and firing order 123456 so it ran
on 2 cylinders. did plugs/wires cap rotor and fixed timing problem and runs better
and oil change. so now the lower end makes little noise but it will be getting a olds 350
swap.
plans are to put the 83 regal front clip on but keeping the wagon door gap to the fenders
a repaint color up in the air right now
350 olds swap and make it a driver for the summer but not this summer.

Good score. You don't see many Buick Regal wagons out there. Keep us up to date on your progress.

Looks like a nice score.

Good looking wagon. I wonder how many cars have been sold as "not running" because the seller couldn't wire the spark plugs correctly?

Nice find. Keep us updated on your progress.

If i recall correctly, the door stripping and felts is available as i believe the sedan uses the same style. However, the tailgate stuff is no longer made. Thanks to the wagon gurus here, I've learned most use chrysler minivan weatherstripping.

I'm sure one of these guys will chime in, and might even have part #'s.

Do a search for window felts, run channels, etc., you'll find a bunch of threads on the subject.
As far as door weather stripping is concerned, I used the Metro brand. You'll find them on RockAuto.

Rear hatch seal, as Scott mentioned, Plymouth Voyager, Dodge Caravan, etc. You'll find more information if you do a search.

A strong vote against soffseal for door weatherstrips on a wagon. Also, be aware that the rear door weatherstrips are different between sedan and wagon.
I used a tailgate weatherstrip from a Venture van on mine for the tailgate, not many Mopar minivans with good weatherstrips in the yard here
