Still working on the Buick Regal. I managed to find the timing mark behind the water pump and get the timeing close, but the idle varies. The owner ran it daily at high rpm to use up most of the 20 year old gas, then put in 92 octane. One day he started it and blew off the converter from the exhaust pipe, which was only on about a 1/2" anyway. It ran much better, but still won't idle for long. He backed it down the 20' driveway sans muffler & converter with barely any power available. I said we will never get it on the street and it took every ounce of power to get it back up the driveway. We got out and discovered an 8" wide trail of tranny fluid about 10 feet long. There is no fluid on the tranny pan, so I have no idea how it got out. The stick shows no fluid.
Anybody want to buy a '79 Buick Regal with 53,000 miles?
Just needs a little TLC!
