3800 variants?

I think that the ozone hole thing is nonsense too, but I think while people may have had a very small role in making them that Earth'll fix them up. Who's to say that there weren't ozone holes before people were around?

Maybe there were, when there was more volcanic activity. The problem is not whether there were or not, but how much our pollutants contribute to the problem.

I agree. I'm kind of curious what's really stopping us from making O3 and "patching" up the ozone layer.

Yep. The Buick V6 is over 40 years-old.

Many thanks for this. Any idea what the "NA" and "SC" stand for?

And perhaps the C, L, and K as well?

Thanks again!

Nice break down on the list.

na & sc - Short hand for Naturally Aspirated and Super Charged c l & k are just engine codes assigned by GM.

Pardon me for what may be a ridiculous question, but what is the difference engine-wise between FWD and RWD? Isn't one just turned sideways from the other? So maybe the mounting points are different. But wouldn't all the differences be in the transmission vs. transaxle?

Ah, OK, thanks. Now I feel dumb as I should have caught that.

Gotcha.

I'm not up on all this but I swear the owners manual in my 94 Delta 88 LSS says it's a 3800 series II ???

Actually DeathRat, you ought to know the Vin 3 was only used in 87, and the Vin C was 88-91
