1984 Pontiac Grand Prix review from North America
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Lock-up torque converter stayed locked, unplugged computer from torque converter, problem solved.
Excessive wear on seats.
Carburetor needed rebuild, but I decided to replace engine instead. :)
General comments?
The car originally had a 305 V-8 with a TH-200 transmission. I have replaced this with a 4-bolt main 350 with a Torker II intake, Flowmaster Afterburner exhaust manifolds, and a dress up kit. It is now mounted to a Turbo 350 transmission.
Handling could and will be improved with new performance tires and lowering springs from Eibach.
