My new 1986 GN T-Top build up.

[TURBOPOWERED68]

miscellaneous shit
Broken MAF plug retaining clip

Abandoned OE alt to battery wire

What does this plug onto?

gaskets on the turbo,
Do you think the header, Turbo and DP will need resurfacing??

Could this be why i haven't heard the fan go on high??

[TURBOPOWERED68]

the radiator doesn't have much life left if any.

[TURBOPOWERED68]

all this shit a side it felt great working and just looking at the car.

Slide underneath it and grab some numbers off it...and maybe a pic or two. We might be able to nail it down.

The converter is a D5.

the new Garret OE exhaust housing is in.
a new #8 gauge wire is in from the alt. to the starter.

looking at the rest of the car i just noticed that the double pumper wiring was/is run UNDER the frame  SO street - wiring - Frame its in a perfect place to get smashed

parts on hand for the car.
1-Fuel pressure sender.
2-3.5 THDP
3-Power junction block.
4-Lower Radiator hose.
5-fuel filter.

Would like to add an IC -- stretch stock location or front mount.

trying to decide on which gauge holder to use

Evils 4 gauge holder across the top of the radio
or
GNS 3 gauge holder that sits above the radio but goes up and down next to the cluster pad

I tossed the radio in favour of the 3 gauge plate from TR Custom Auto Parts and the 2 gauge holder that sits in the console.

I like my tunes, so I would go with the second one because it doesn't block the vents.

The car came with a home made 3 gauge holder in the radio's spot.
But i NEED a radio.
I have been leaning towards the 2nd one because it will put the boost gauge higher into the line of sight.

BUT

I also like the first one since all i want is 4 gauges. 

[TURBOPOWERED68]

Also the 4 gauge holder covers the bottom of the AC vent but i think (first mistake) that you could still get some air from the top half.
With the 3 gauge holder even if you turn the AC vent towards you it will block all of the air coming off of that first vent. I think

I'm doing my build as well, I noticed Caspers Electronics had a lot of electrical connectors for the Buick. Good Luck!

The 4 gauge pod is angled lower at the back…….Although the 1st picture (showing 4 gauge pod on radio surround) doesn't show it from the front angle the shot was taken.  It only blocks off the bottom 1/4 or 1/3 of the vent at best.  Still allows for a decent amount of air / ventilation to be able to move thru the vents.

[TURBOPOWERED68]

you are correct.
