Joseph44 Posted May 7, 2011 Share Posted May 7, 2011 Goodmorning everyone: Question I'm have a heck of a time finding a level control sensor for my 83 buick prk ave I can't seem to find any, the only place that has them is a dealer for $ 425.00. My question if I took mine off is it possible to repair the valve??? I'll tell you I have been all over the place with no luck. I'm trying to keep original as much as I can. SO any help would be greatly appreciated!! Thanks in advance and have a great wk/nd!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sosuzguy Posted May 16, 2011 Share Posted May 16, 2011 Have you checked the salvage yards for other Big Buick/Ols/Cadillacs from the same time frame? I remember in the ELC section for my Riviera there are two digit codes on the height sensors to tell you what body they go with. Delta 88/98 Regency/Deville?

Joseph44 Posted May 16, 2011 Author Share Posted May 16, 2011 Thanks for the heads up sosuzguy the thing is were I'm at in Fl there are salvage yards but none with 30/40 year old cars. I was told they don't hang on to them. I think I'll have to go north and see if I can locate a yard. I took mine apart there is nothing to it just a 2x2 circut board If I can repair this one great. My valve has # on it and a large B F. Thanks again and have a great day !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sosuzguy Posted May 16, 2011 Share Posted May 16, 2011 YES BF is for B and C body styles of your year +/- a few years. BF in my 82 service manual shows it's for b/C body lines except for wagon. So hunt you a height sensor off of a B & C body style on the internet or call one of the part locator hotlines. I am not sure but I think B and C was the big Buick/Olds/Caddy'sGood luck-Jayson P.S. Send me some pictures of your car I love the Park Avenue! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joseph44 Posted May 17, 2011 Author Share Posted May 17, 2011 Thanks for the information sosuzguy it is very helpfull I'm going to try and get some webs or e-mails for salvage yards in the north east and see if anybody has one. Plus I want to try electronic repair shops to see if the valve can be fixed. Thanks again and have a great wk !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
