Hmm..that figures--thanks for the reply. I guess I'll plan to improvise, too.

I couldn't find one and that was probably a decade ago now. I ended up replacing it with rubber hose and some metal fittings (barbs) and it's been fine.

Hi All, While replacing the lower intake manifold gaskets, I broke the extremely bridle vacuum line connector for the EVAP canister purge valve which attaches at the throttle body. It comes off the throttle body as a 3/8 line and is immediately reduced to 1/4" or so and makes a hard 90° bend before attaching to a plastic line. Said plastic line then goes over top of the supercharger and attaches to the canister solenoid on the back side of the supercharger. In the diagram below, It is the line which connects item 9 (EVAP canister purge valve) to the throttle body. Does anyone know where to get one of these lines? I can't seem to find one anywhere...Thanks.

Man those are beautiful

I have that good one from my 91 for you dont worry

After two years of searching I found a replacement sunroof assembly for my 96 Grand Prix! But UPS decided I didn’t need it and destroyed it. But I found a 97 coupe sunroof local. Has anyone ever put a later sun roof in one of these older gen Grand Prix or wbody?

i believe those are normally open circuit, so it makes sense unplugging it with shut the light off, but I could be wrong after that it should pass no problem. also that’s awesome that there is still a w all the way in Belgium, do you have any pictures?

Well well... the same story as in my Buick Regal 1988 Ltd 2.8L.... Bad sensor,bad wires,bad dashboard...? The problem is that car inspectors of the Belgian car inspection stations reject the car when the red light low water sensor is on ! And so, no 'green positive inspection certificate ! Not allowed to drive the car,forbidden..! Stupid ! So,my solution : disconnect the electric plug! Good luck Mr Geeraert, Buick Regal 1988,the last one driving in Belgium at 390.000 kms

It sounds like your Lumina might have an issue with engine mounts, ignition misfire, or a failing torque converter. Since there are no codes, I'd start by checking the mounts for wear and testing coil packs or spark plugs for misfires. Also, a more thorough throttle body cleaning could help if it's airflow-related. Have you noticed any difference in vibration under light acceleration versus heavy throttle?

Factory all the way for me. But I did upgrade to CD from cassette, a factory correct unit, in my 94 CS

also if anyone has a link for lowering springs that could work too

i’ve been told before people in here have custom built their own coilovers for the front end of their cutlass, anyone care to share their versions they have built with info so i can get started on mine? thank you to all !

If you still have the harness from beretta I’d buy it from you

I have an 09' buick lucerne with the LGD 3900, and a failing 4t65e. is there any proven transmission that will fit the w body that can hold up to 300hp?

did you move forward with awd versa trak?

great content. hoping to start my build. What would you do different, looking back?

anyone know where this car is now?

Yes definitely do, I’ve seen some f23 swaps but no f40 stuff. Are fiero guys putting f40’s in their cars?

Definately update. I heard the F40 doesn't fit in the frame of the wbody's. Let us know.

Sorry to reply to an older thread but I’m wondering, Is that optional 2-3 spring for the 1-2 accumulator worth it? Thinking about doing this project sometime next week and just debating if I get the spring as well as the shims

LOL......what'd the service manual tell you? to get the cluster out remove the top fasteners (you've already done so, tilt the cluster forward to you, those 2 pins seat into 2 horizontal recesses, the backside of the recess is curved shaped the same as the pins ,pull upwards (vertical) on the cluster to release the pins.

I've never removed a cluster on 1995 CSC. I've removed many of the early model clusters and never had an issue. Is all gauge cluster trim removed? Sometimes tilting the steering wheel all the way down is needed for clearance. It shouldn't be too hard to remove especially with the bolts removed. I wouldn't tug too hard in fear of breaking something. I would carefully pull on it in a few different directions and hopefully you will feel it move. I would think there is a white/black peg that comes up through the hole that didn't have the screw so the cluster is centered. If so you'll need to get clearance on that first, then I'm thinking it must rotate along on those lower pegs you circled. Then pull out. I'm sorry I can't be of more help. But just take your time with it. If it's been in there 30 years it might just be a little stuck.

1995 Olds Cutlass Supreme Convertible Is there some "secret" to getting the gauge cluster out?? I bought this replacement but can't get the original (which looks identical) out. I got the 2 screws out (top left/right) but see no other screws. Do you pry out the 2 things circled in blue??? Do you just tug and twist (already scraped up the knuckles!).

Intake manifold gaskets may need to be changed.
