Looking for the plastic filler panel on the decklid for a Turbo STE.

Do you want a project car? I have one that I intend to restore. California car, running with new radiator and Powermaster 3. White with grey cloth interior, no sun roof. No rust, one repaint in white, not original color code. Lots of miles but still runs well. I have accumulated lots of parts for the restoration including a 500 mile engine from a wreck. Wasn't thinking of selling but I have this one and three TGP's to restore. You could drive this for awhile and then restore it. Would be presentable with a good detailing.


Dave ;)

I'm interested in doing this swap into my 88 Fiero GT. What is the calculated compression ratio with this combination? Are you using the original 3.1 Turbo heads?

Been going through the process of finding a ABS unit for my STE. Has taken a few months but I finally found one (a feat in itself) at a reasonable price. You can have them remanufactured by Cardone but you have to go through a retail auto parts outlet. Prices I found were between $1200 and $1600. I found a rebuilt unit on the shelf at B&B Auto Parts in New York City for $699.95. bbautoparts@gmail.com, 1-800-475-1227. Used are next to non-existant. Easier to find a car than an ABS unit. Mine is in the mail as I speak so I can't comment on the overall transaction until I get it and have it installed. I had them email me photos before I ordered as I have already gotten the wrong part twice from salvage yards. I think their interchange information is incorrect.

Your noise is normal because the accumulator is small and has to be recharged all the time. ABS works O.K. but this is a bad unit if the motor or switch goes bad. There is no redundancy in the design as with newer units. If your motor or switch fails you have almost no brakes. This is a Delco Moraine Powermaster III. Used on turbos because there is not enough manifold vacume to run a vacume booster. This works like the old GM Hydrovac units but is powered by a electric motor instead of a hydraulic pump. GM also used a earlier Powermaster II version on full size late eighties wagons with the 307 Olds engine. I have heard you can modify these to work but have not been able to find an authority.

Is anyone keeping one of these for Turbo STE's? :icon_lol:
