    Fuel Pressure 97 D1

    Rrc Lwb?

    RRC moving after parked?

    I have a buddy that had his RRC roll back after he parks it. It isn't right away. He will park it, leave, then come back and it has rolled back a few feet. He did not have the parking brake engaged, it is an automatic with the BW. He is now parking with the parking brake. He says it doesn't...

    RRC Distributor

    A friend needs a distributor for his 1990 RRC. Also what aftermarket distributors work for the 3.9. I believe it is basically a Buick 215, but will distributors for the Buick work properly with the 3.9. Thanks
