Salty Ohio winters have taken their toll on the undercarriage and body panels. All undercarriage fuel and brake tubing was replaced. Door panels have rusted and separated on their lower edge.

 1987 Buick Regal T-Type with 455 Engine

Questions:  wahlehw at att dot net

DESCRIPTION:    This Regal is a real T-Type that came with a non-turbo 3.8 V6. I bought it used with 36,000-miles. A rebuilt 455 Stage 1 Buick engine was swapped in at 52,100 miles. Current mileage is 138,100 with 86,000 miles on the engine. This is a non-smoker vehicle.

Engine:  455 Stage 1 Buick engine with 9.5 to 1 compression ratio (462 cu-in).

Drive Train: Grand National drive train: torque converter, TH200-4R trans, driveshaft and 3.42 posi-differential.

Induction System: Holley ProJection throttle body on an Edelbrock aluminum intake manifold. The 900 cfm throttle body contains four 85-lb/hr injectors. MegaSquirt digital fuel controller and K&N air filter. The MegaSquirt digital fuel controller is programmed with a laptop computer via a free graphical interface. This system requires some knowledge of digital fuel injection systems. The MegaSquirt web site contains a great deal of free information on all aspects of their controller and digital fuel control.

Exhaust:  Magnaflow 2-1/2" stainless steel X-crossover dual exhaust system with stainless steel straight-through mufflers and head pipes. Stock lightly ported exhaust manifolds
 
Suspension:  Regal diesel front springs, KYB gas shocks, GN front and rear sway bars

Ignition:  HEI electronic ignition

Brakes:  Complete new brake system in 2012 including master cylinder, vacuum power booster, proportioning valve, all steel brake lines, front rotors and calipers, rear wheel cylinders, and flexible brake hoses

Fuel System:  External electric fuel pump mounted on side rail. All fuel lines replaced with rubber hose or braided stainless steel hose

Cooling System:  4-core radiator with clutch fan. New water pump in 2013

Wheels:  T-Type aluminum rims with Firestone black-wall radial tires (P235/60-R15) with about 20,000-miles

Interior:  Very clean gray interior with front bucket seats and center console

Power Accessories:  Power windows & power driver’s seat

CONDITION:     The car starts and runs well. Engine oil and filter changed at 3-4000-mile intervals. All mechanical parts were on a regular maintenance schedule. The digital fuel controller replaced an unreliable Holley analog fuel controller. The digital system has been driver for 23,000-miles over 7-years and has been very reliable. An oxygen sensor in the exhaust manifold is the primary sensor that controls air-fuel ratio.  All sensors can be viewed on a laptop computer including air-fuel ratio, air and water temps, RPM, throttle position, injector pulse width, manifold air pressure, plus many more operating parameters. The interior is still very nice and clean for 138,100 miles. The chrome bumpers are in good condition. The aluminum T-Type rims have a gray oxidized coating.
