Try www.helminc.com for the shop manual to your car. There is a huge amount of information in the tech section on this site as well. You may even want to consider changing your setup over to an intercooled one. Lots of guys have done it and it isn't too difficult. Good luck.
thanks for the web site fred---but they dont have one for the gn-ttype either
just the regal model
but i am sure it will come in handy in my other endevors
i wander if my gm dealer can help?---ill try and let every one know
you know what they need here----a chat room
that would be really cool--well see yall in the funnies rob
GM dealer won't have it any more.
Helm still publishes the manual, AFAIK. It's about 50 pounds of paper, so be prepared! It's HUGE!
i go to alldatadiy.com for my gn it costs 24.00 a year
The manual at Helm is the official Buick Service for
all Buick models for 1985. This includes the T-Type
as it was an option package on the Regal - if that
makes sense. Be prepared though. If I remember
correctly, it is close to 40# of book! Thousands of
pages. You'll get the shop and service manual with
all of the updates and revisions (which you'll have to
apply by replacing pages.) It has just about all of
the information you could ever need including wiring
diagrams, service procedures and trouble shooting
processes. The book goes into detail on just about
every component of every Buick car produced in 1985.
It has been my experience (and it seems to be a
general consensus of opinion in the Turbo Buick
community) that Buick dealers are totally clueless
when it comes to these cars.
Amoung best resources that I have found are:
www.gnttype.org
www.turbobuick.com
www.turbobuicks.com
Lots of good people there willing to help.
I have an '84 T-Type and purchased the GM shop
manuals to go with it. It consists of two, huge
three-ring blue binders. They're so massive
because they contain information for ALL Buick
models of that year. Tons of pages are bad enough
but whoever put it together must've been an alien.
Example; If you want to find out how to set the
cam sensor, look in the "Emissions" section.
You won't find it in the section dealing with cam
removal and installation. Not even a reference to
the section that deals with it. A GM master
mechanic wasn't able to locate the procedure
either! Luckily, we have this website as a
resource.
I took an entire day and culled out all the info that had nothing to do with Regals and GNs. I stuck all the rest of the pages back in the box and stored them.
It gets it down to a manageable size. Now I have two binders about 2"-3" thick.
I did the same thing Donald did, except I only have one book about 3-4 inches thick. It stays in the trunk of the car so it's always there when/if I need it. The website says it's like 3000 pages. One of the heaviest boxes I've ever recieved.
However for an 85, the price is $230 and seems to include everything. The book(s) for the 86-87 are only $75.
