I was just talking with a person with a 71 Buick Skylark for sale. Claims it has a engine that was found in only approximately 20 cars. A 350 4 barrel carb. Something about a red or blue (she couldn't remember which). Is there anything to this? Is this car worth pursuing (engine is original to car)? thanks

Wow, what wrong side of the bed did you get up on? First off I didn't fall for the scam, I am not stupid I went to school in another state. What I was saying is I know, they know everyone knows this is a scam, but no one is willing to do anything to stop them. Some people have no idea how the scam works, and to what lengths these people go to make it work. Certified checks are being used fraudulently more and more, but banks will still "credit" the amount to your account in a couple days, even though the check has not cleared the bank the check was supposedly written on, some of these checks end up traveling from federal reserve to federal reserve and might take 2 months to find out the check is no good. All the while some person sees the money in their account and figure it has cleared. Then this person goes through with it and bam 1-2 months later they find out they not only lost the money, but the car was gone as well. Police don't care unless you actually lost something, when if they reacted to the situation at the point of the transaction them might actually catch someone without the person losing money and cars. Yeah I know, everyone says its someone elses problem, and all the while these guys continue to rip off the unsuspecting.

It is really sad, and what makes you even more angry is no one seems to care about this stuff. Not the web providers, not the police. I guess they are to busy setting traps for pedophiles to be bothered with simple grand theft. So it just goes on and on.

Just thought I would say watch yourself advertising on hemmings, so far I have had 3 different people try the out of country scam on me. This is where they want to send a certified check and have YOU pay the shipper etc.

After studying why it was not working I concluded that the nut had not been put on tight enough when they were replaced a few years back, after tightening it as well as I could it seems to be working. All I can say is who ever did the engineering on this part should be flogged. It is just plain bad. Oh and for those of you who have this problem getting the headlights up can be a bit tricky. Finally I turned the lights on, "helped" the offending light up, then unhooked the battery cable, they stayed up, work was easy. My ac-heater module came in so now my "short" is gone and the a/c works perfectly again. So now I can put it up forsale.

well I am fixing it to sell, so I don't want to spend a whole bunch of money, I just want it to work.

as I tell people its not a spelling error its a computer problem, an inability for the monitor to properly interpet the ascii string being sent.

I took my headlight apart and its very apparent the problem, the slot in the bell crank is not catching anything. The motor spins, works fine, but its just spinning as the flattened part of the shaft is not working as designed. I had downloaded and studied the drawings of reatta.net but I don't have the tools to do this. Where might I find someone that has already fixid this part and sells them fixed? Or someone that has made the washers and sells them? thanks depley

because at the time I took the pictures the battery cable had been disconnected waiting on the heater/ac control module to come. Which has been replaced. And I did not reset the date or anything yet.

89 Reatta 150K miles, outside excellent, inside very clean seats great. Tires like new. Just passed tough Atlanta Emmisions, converted r134 a/c. needs drivers side headlight fixed, cassette fixed and probably new speakers. 16 way seats. White with blue interior. Need the garage space for wife's new car. I feel like in the condition it is in that its worth $3500. But I am a realist too, so I figure $2200??

thanks so very much, and its mine so I will take care with the plastic retainers lol

this is the module that you have to evacuate the a/c, remove a ton of stuff to get to? (page 1B1-9 heater and a/c module of the service manual)

I ran the diagnostic thing. After entering it pops up ECM then after that appears to "history" items which are B552 and C553 anyone know what those mean? never mind I figured that out, I have unhooked the battery :-)

Here is what I know. I have a short somewhere. My thinking is its in the heating system. Why? becasue when you have the car off and look at the climate control panel on the screen the fan is shown to be still moving, but I can not hear the fan at any speed, but still as you change or even turn off the controls the scren shows the fan moving. Any ideas what to look at? thanks

what diagram are you looking at? it this a certain page in theservice manual? if so which page? thanks
