Jim and Ken, at the risk of barging in here, I was asked to look at the possibility of partnering with the 61,62,63 buick group, and have since exchanged emails with the owner of that group. We have agreed that the best way to partner would be to display each other’s links. They actually have a user’s group which communicates via email instead of a website. You have to be approved to be a member. And, once you are approved, your email address is displayed with each post. If you google the subject, you will find links to “www.groups.yahoo.com”. They are also quite welcome to join our site. I understand there are a lot of interchangeable parts between the 61-63 Buicks and F85’s. Jetfireguy

Thanks a bunch, Jim! I thought from your recent pics that you probably removed the entire unit, but just couldnt find a way to get to the third bolt from the turbo to the intake. I did remove the hood, which helps a bunch. I need to replace the water jacket gasket and want to check the oiling to the shaft. Will let you all know what i find. May have to have you overhaul the unit. Thanks again. Jim

Super explanation, Jim! Thanks a bunch!

Enjoyed the article. But left of the maroon ’69 Mustang, it says “….to generate boost (and thus lubricate the turbo’s compressor shaft).”

I know the alcohol and water mixture cooled the turbo and/or engine, but thought the seal and beaaring were lubricated with oil.

Cam someone show me the light? jim

welcome aboard, young olds! Thanks for your comments. Keep us posted on your progress with your cars. I think you will find our members anxious to help with answers to your questions.

Hey, guys! If you notice something missing, we decided some of the discussion was getting a little toxic, which is not healthy in a lively forum like this one has proven to be. So we deleted the last few posts in this thread.

Sorry, but we hope you can appreciate that it is something we had to do to keep the forum constructive. If you have any questions about this, please read the Terms of Agreemet for this site (see the red link in the lower right corner of this page).

If you need to see Noel’s filter pictures, in a couple of days you can find them under “Articles, Nuggets from Noel,Tech Articles from Noel,Filter Materials”. There are already several pictures and a good narrative there. Thanks for your continued participation! JetfireGuy

One of our members just sold his ’62 Jetfire to an overseas buyer for $19K. Car was immaculate but had an overheating problem.
