There is a Roadmaster forum. I used to go on quite regular when I had 3.

Try Google, there is something for just about everything.

Buick has this weird Chinese connection going on that is just now becoming public knowledge on this side of the ocean. Apparently GM builds Lexus-quality Buicks in China for their very demanding upper-crust customers. Strangely enough, owning a Buick is the ultimate status symbol in China. It seems almost laughable that there could be such a difference of the same brand between here and there.

Have you seen some of the cars that Buick builds for the Chinese market? They look amazing, and based on the content they would be strong competitors in the North American market. So why don't they bring them here? All I can think of is either safety regs don't meet NA requirements or labour costs in NA would make them uncompetitive. Its a shame, because Buick really seems to have its act together there.

Looking for info on the voltage (amount) at the TBI harness and how to test the spray nozzles to see if they are good. The ECM has two burnt resisters in it and I do not wish to chance putting a new unit in if it might short out from a defective spray nozzle.

I have a computer from a 92 Buick roadmaster. If you need it I have $100 invested in it. I thought mine was bad but it turned out to be an injector.

just last Friday I ordered one from napa for 93.00 bucks wish I had known! Never thought of this forum to get a hit for my cousins car, thanks though.

The Roadmaster chassis and engine is shared with the Chevy Caprice. You should be able to look on Chevy forums for info on this because the car uses the venerable 5.0L small block GM (Chevy).

Never thought of the Napa route. Mine is from a junk yard, a 92 with front end damage. The dealer wanted over $300 when I got mine.
