get hard to find one for the Buicks.  Most are listed for both na and turbo cars...origina lly, the turbo was a bit heavier.  Not sure if the balance was different or not given that the turbo cars had heavier pistons.  Most say not.

Pioneer lists a separate number for the turbo cars and that is what Webber sells.  Twenty cheaper on Amazon.

Mike is out of the CAT sfi rated oriental specials.

Someone selling a so called sfi unit on ebay for 40$....hmmmmmmmmm

gonna go the Pioneer route, I think.  Kinda hate to go used in case I get one that has been abused like mine

On another note, I just noticed my Hotchkis bars for the challenger are for an A body and not an E body Challenger...L OL   so goes the car life.

I got mine from Rock Auto...

If you get in a pinch, I have one from the 87 available. It only has 120k miles on it.

Dorman pn#04336 is real close to oem

Sean...having not having seen them side by side, it is hard to know for sure, but, those are the universal replacements whereas pioneer has one specifically for the turbo cars.

I started to go with the Dorman from the Rock, but, decided to chase the pioneer down.

so the old plate had a hair line crack from hole to hole to hole....all the way around.   I guess one good stomp of the pedal would have separated the crank from the plate.

Now that I don't hear the noise, I hear a pad grinding into the rotor.  Meant to check them a couple of years ago.

Wanted a pair of EBC rotors and Yellowstuff pads but after comparing $350 for that against about a $100 for a good Raybestos rotor and pads.....I went that way.

Sounds like a solid plan.

[Steve Wood]

there is little that is solid in my planning...it seems to be dependent upon how hard I resist temptation
