try a seat out of a 97 to 2005 century ….almost free at the pick a pull……little more side bolster…but still comfortable
new evaporator…..back to R12 ….put nylog on the o – rings….and more cold AC than you can handle …..update the condenser and perfect ac even add the pusher fan for the 93 – 96 model
great vid !
best car ever made……..i have a 92 buick century
Nice sleeper.
That sounds so good! Can’t wait to go for a ride!
I had one of those 6000 wagons…white with the fake wood paneling. Loved that car! The wagons with the rumble seats in the back had little triangular shaped vent windows in the back side windows, the ones that didn't had all solid rear side windows. Hopefully that helps you save time when looking for the seat!
I also do not have a working speedometer. if i give a signal from the new ecm nothing happens. i am willing to keep the factory speedometer. i need to match the pulse for the old speedometer. any ideas how to do it?
hi what year is the supercharger engine?
You need to share the quarter mile time, when you get it! like this thing. I'm planning on building a 6000 too, as soon as I find an AWD version.
Wow this is bringing back memories. Back in the 80's I was selling chevys. I sold some celebrity wagons to a customer that needed a small fleet of them to cart kids around. A few years later it was time to replace them so they replaced them and traded in the wagons so I bought one of them and my cousin bought one and the others went to used lot. I got one with out the rear seat. Bought a rear seat some place and installed. Quite easy. Bought the rear seat belts also so that the whole family could ride in it. Hey I recall they had rack issues and the racks had to be replaced. You may want to keep an eye on that. Before I bought the wagon I had a low mileage Celebrity Eurosport wagon come in on trade. Bought that and little later had to replace the rack. The same for the fleet wagon I bought.
Car looks great. Looks like a sleeper to me. Those spark plug wires look larger than standard wires for a 3800.
Sweet swap!! Is she running a little rich when you give her gas? I ask because the black smoke coming out of the exhaust.
OPEC plus loves this fool…and economy EVs running on LOCAL fuel can destroy him off the line. What a huge waste of resources and time to keep junk on the road!
You really make it sound like a simple easy swap haha…. I would be very interested in the schematic drawings for the wiring
I love it! Takes me back to the 6000 sedan that my wife was driving when I met her. ❤
Absolutely sick man. I love this thing. You gotta keep the wire hubcaps.
Fantastic work! From what I saw, that 3800 looks right at home in the car.I can't wait to see what your next project will be.
That is the perfect example of a "sleeper'! The engine bay looks factory, sooo impressive! You really need to do a track day with it. Sub 13 ET?….. Keep the amazing projects!
