If you do a search from the tab at the top of the page and put in Schacht, there are a number of threads including a 1905 that was posted for sale.

Remember when they came out.... Buy a Chevrolet and get a Yugo for free.

Looks like a trailer running light

Are you talking about the electric trunk lid pull down feature?

Dave, Pretty pix.

It looks like it is about 6 deg F here in metro Detroit this morning.

For OBD2 codes, not all vehicles and manufacturers have the same total code list. What OBD2 did was to create a core number of codes that all manufacturers had to have in common. After the core codes, the manufacturers could put other diagnostic information into the list. NTX5467 is correct that OBD2 did put a post catalytic converter oxygen sensor into the exhaust stream. The computer would look at the oxygen sensor values before the catalytic converter and also the oxygen sensor values after the converter and compare the two values. The comparison determined if the catalytic converter was working to proper efficiency.

MDI stands for Multiple Diagnostic Interface It hooks up to the vehicle and can be used as a wired or wireless connection to a computer that has the diagnostic software to scan the vehicle. The GM software package is called GDS, Global Diagnostic Software. That is where the software that was in the Tech 1 & Tech 2 software now resides along with other information. As I understand it, the MDI is like a router with some software and information that allows the computer & vehicle to talk to each other. Here is the GM kit Tech 2 Flash General Motors MDI for Tech 2 OTC 3845 - GM MDI Multiple Diagnostic Interface for Tech 2 Here is the Bosch version of the new scanner system.

Just hop the big bird to Hawaii and put the purchase on it. It has a B-J ++++ price on it the last time I heard about a year ago. Too rich for me.

Paul, I would disagree that OBD1 was primitive. You just need the correct scanner to read the codes and data stream information. Data stream information from the vehicle can be read from 1980 1/2 to about 1995 depending on the vehicvle. The reason for OBD1 change to OBD2 was the feds wanted some common standards between automakers. The orignal service thought was the jumper to read the flashed codes. By'82 there were scanners on the market that enabled you to read live data stream information. The culmulation of that work was the release by GM of the Tech 1 scanner. Here is one that will help you find out easily what sensors are in range along with reading the codes. VETRONIX Tech 1A DIAGNOSTIC SCAN TOOL w/massstoragecard - eBay (item 330520188743 end time Jan-23-11 11:29:47 PST) The next generation of scanner from GM was the Tech 2 which allowed 2 way communication with the vehicle and more extensive applications including brakes, transmission, SIR system, etc. The next generation interface is MDI. Regards,

Looks like 1950 all over again with the Buick Salesmasters recognition program.

The jack looks very similar to the standard bumper jacks of the 50's and 60's for the GM cars that my Dad had.

That clip made the local news here in Detroit yesterday. Nothing like slip sliding away.

Was it the Pontiac ?

Maybe this will help. Here are the GM VIN number system for all of the cars in this discussion except the '67. There is a 72 card which should be very close for the 67.

Just wanted to drop in

Just got mine today. Great work.!!!

Well, then I am in the Motor City and I am still looking for mine. Maybe that puts me in a relative close range.

Is it an 4 or 6 cylinder vehicle? If my memory is correct, the 4 cylinder uses the 30x3-1/2. The 6 cylinder used a larger tire.

1. The 67 Skylark in the nomenclature is an A or an A-special at the time. Eventually morphed into the G body. 2. 87 Regal T is a G/K for G body K series. 47 For a 2 door coupe 3 & 4. 89 Reatta is an E/C body and style(Buick). No designation for sunroof as that would be an option content. If it was a convertible, it would be a 67 in the vin. 5. 96 Roadmaster is a B/R body and style. The correct designation for a wagon is 35. 6. 01 Regal GS would be a W/F for body and style. The two door coupe designation would be either a 27,37,47, or maybe 57. Not sure witout looking at the VIN. I seem to think it would be a 47 maybe. Have never heard of the JA edition vehicle. Maybe it was a local promotion? All of the VIN's would have a 4 as the first number for cars/trucks prior to 1981 with 13 digit vin numbers as the 4 is the designation of the Buick Division. In 17 digit VIN#s, it would be the 3rd digit from the left.

The solenoid shut off is a good idea. I like that.
