Re: Carburated Buick Turbo?
Thank you very much Billy and Bob! I am in the midst of a car already, but I may tinker with getting this car running at some point and go from there. I'm just glad I saved it from a worse fate!

Re: Carburated Buick Turbo?
It sits at 17.29, which puts in Q. Do you think that V6 would actually haul 3600lbs of Lesabre into the low 13's?
One thing in huge supply around here is carbed V6 Buicks! I have 2 252's, and 2 231's, not counting the 252 being built at present! Looks like the Turbo and n/a 231 is the same for the most part... Damn! I'd better get back to focusing on my GP... |

Re: Carburated Buick Turbo?
Just for kicks, would use not use as small a converter behind the turbo (10" vs. 8"), as with running less gear, etc. ?
