Pappy's 1986 Buick Regal

[Opie Knievel]

Thanks, Opie Knievel. I'm kinda old school here. I have a flip phone that takes pictures and this iPad. Is there a way to get pictures from the phone to the iPad to a file to upload?

I'm sure there is a way to do it but without actually having the phone in hand, I really don't know how to do it. I haven't even seen a flip phone in a long time. As far as the iPad goes, you'll have to consult with someone who's familiar with Apple products as I don't know anything about them and I try to avoid them if possible.

Maybe see if your kids or grandkids can help you out. I'd like to see some pics of your car.

Oh, I just thought of something. If your iPad takes pics, use it to take some pics of the car and then post them on here straight from the iPad.

My, how time flys! Brief update on Pappy’s Regal: the transmission and the water pump went out a few days after I got it home. I got the water pump replaced, pulled the power steering and put an S10 manual box on. Took a few trips to the parts store for a belt. Found a BOP TH350 on Craigslist and had a friend of a friend go thru it. Got it re-installed aaaand! No worky-worky. Trans comes back out and goes back to the trans guy. Fast forward to now, the trans is back in and seems to be fine. Hopefully, I will get some miles on it after the Christmas craziness is over.

Welcome from Chicago Pappy, I love them 86 Regals! That’s what I have along with an 86 Cutty.

Thanks, My86R3gal! This car is my decompression chamber! SO! The trans seems to work good. We are still tinkering with the shift points. The trans man was supposed to put a “shift kit” in it. We’ll see. I also added a 2000 stall Summit converter. Rear gears on the list. In addition, I have swapped in an S10 manual steering box and, with the 3-groove pulleys I got from 87National (Thanks, Mike!), I have eliminated the air pump and AC. Today I deleted the cruise control and picked up fresh spark plugs and wires. I have a set of headers I got from kustomkyle that should go on in the next week or so. My mechanic, who is also my Number 1 Son!, put in a
G Force dual hump trans crossmember. Nice piece! I gotta get some pictures.
