      Buick Regal LS Swap

      By Schurkey · Posted

      Not a swap for the faint-of-heart.

      Voltage drop on the ground side is exactly like voltage drop on the positive side. The pump grounds through a wire, the wire has multiple connections which end up screwed to a body panel--perhaps under the seats.  Then the body is the ground, which may be connected to the battery via the negative cable.  At each junction, there's some resistance.  Defective or undersized cables add to the resistance.  So the ground side has it's own resistance in addition to whatever resistance is on the positive side.

      Buick Regal LS Swap

      By Swanny · Posted

      I have a 2001 Buick Regal LS and I was wondering how much modification to the car it would take to put the front subframe and engine of the 2006 Chevrolet Impala SS with the 5.3 LS into the Buick. I would not be using any of the AWD or RWD versions of the car only the FWD car. Another question about it would be is how hard is it to find the Impala SS cars, and could I use a different LS powered FWD car for this project like the Monte Carlo variant. Another question is how much taller is the LS engine to the normal naturaly aspirated 3800 series engine. I want to make this car into esentally the ultimate sleeper so no exterior modifications would be allowed.

      Caster alignment on 1g w bodies

      By GranPrix · Posted

      Hi this is a follow up to a thread I started last fall about alignment on these cars. I know that caster and camber are both non adjustable, on my car the caster on the right is definitely way too positive and it doesnt return to center when making a right turn. (Left turns it returns just fine) What are some things that could cause misaligned caster on these cars? The Car has never been in an accident, and it doesnt wear tires at all.   my ball joints are good, my control arm bushings are cracked but its not wearing tires, what else could cause positive caster on these? There arent many failure points on these so i dont know why this issue is so hard to fix.    Its a 95 grand prix

      I’m a little confused about the voltage drop mentioned on the ground side.  I understand the voltage drop from + battery terminal to plug at the pump but isn’t it all referenced from chassis ground?  How are you measuring that drop?  I did finally locate the pump prime connector and did notice that it’s a small gauge wire so it’s not going to handle extra loads very well.   As far as fuel restrictions, I would think that even a restriction in the sock or filter would still allow pressure to build without the motor running.  It just might take longer to build using the prime.  In this case, the prime never gets above 22lbs at the rail and the pump sounds like it’s laboring.  I’m guessing, at this point, it’s a low voltage issue or a pump going out.  I hope to get it on a lift this week to take some voltage measurements. Thanks for all the info.
