Hey everyone in syty land! I just got my wife a 93 ty this past weekend. Forest green with 73k. It has a couple of mods done to it already. I'll get to feel it out some more over the next week while my motor for my type t is getting finished up.

It feels real sluggish. Im thinking of doing a top end cleaning on it after that, some ac 42's(?) new cap/rotor, fuel filter, and some fresh oil.

What oil are ya'll using? Any special things i should be looking for while i'm busting my knuckles?! I've learned to ask these kind of q's for specialty toys.

T.i.a.

Welcome aboard! Definitely start with vacuum lines, fresh filters and other tune-up items. Also, where you at? Get to know your locals, it'll definitely pay off!

Michael Hood at Tucker Automotive sells great tune up kits for a bargain. He is a vendor here, not trying to advertise for anyone but he sells Taylor wires for like $42 or $43 shipped- the best deal I have found on them. Also Adam in Florida sells the silicone vacuum kits if they have any left, they are a simple plug and play item. Good luck.:tup:

#1 throw away what you know with buicks.

Syty's have crappy spark systems. Cap/rotor/wires/plugs you will learn to change quickly.

Not much use of 42# injectors in this circle, not saying they can't be used but don't expect an off the shelf chip. 60/65's are used common as are 50's (I prefer 60's though). But I doubt injectors is really what you need right now.

Scan tool should be on your list to get ASAP before any other mods.

I believe when he said 42's he was referring to the AC CR42TS spark plug. they are a good choice but if you cant find them you can also use the NGK UR6 or UR5. most parts stores stock them.

Full tune up plus filters is a great place to start. take it slow and easy and it won't cost you a lot.

start going WOT with it before you know whats going on and you'll be asking for eng rebuild parts before you know it.
