This is my 1986 Buick Regal Limited, its also my first car (I did once have claim to a 94 Hyundai S-Coupe for a few months that I never got to drive, thus I claim the Regal as my first car.)

I paid only $400 for this car, it runs fairly nicely (but I still plan to do some work to it, for performance and reliability.

The car features a decent assortment of options and accessories that were available on 86 Regals at the time such as: The six way power driver's seat option, power windows/locks, "Limited Trim." cruise, air, etc. Mostly however the car just seems to feature standard equipment packages, (stereo, gauges, etc.)

The interior is in superb condition considering the cars age, virtually no burn marks on seats, only a small crack on the dash, virtually no sag in the headliner and so fourth.

The car is powered by the standard 3.8L 2BBL carb NA V6 common on most Regals of the day. My main problem with the car seems to be a rich fuel mixture that is causing stalls and slight starting issues at times. I assume some carb cleaner, and re tuning of the carb will fix this.

Update: I cleaned the carb with Gumout and while it still smokes some and occasionally stalls the engine note and overall performance, idle, and other charactoristics are in great shape.

Since having the carb cleaned the car starts up great, runs good, idles nicely (no need to tap the throttle to get it to idle down,) and runs cooler.

I also attached an alternator belt to replace the one which was about to snap any day.

To fix the lingering smoke issues and ever rarer stalls I plan to use some more fluid solutions such as STP additives, after that if it still smokes I will change piston rings.

I plan to add more images and more details as I learn more about the car and make upgrades, right now an exhaust system upgrade is at the top of my list.

Does anyone have the onwer's manualto this car in PDF format or scans of it? When I bought the car the previous owner didn't leave the manual in the glovebox so I havn't had the benefit of it and have been searching for a copy since purchasing the car a month or so ago.
