Electra — C-body, front-drive (1985–1990)

the Electra 300's standard engine, 110 hp; Wikipedia's Buick V6 article gives LK9 to the 1985 Electra, and its Electra article drops the 3.0L for 1986; VIN code E from the 1985 NICB manual, which prints no RPO codes; gnttype.org's 1985 table does not list it under the Electra

VIN code 3; multiport injection, 125 hp in 1985 (the Electra 380), sequential from 1986, 150 hp (Wikipedia); Wikipedia's Buick V6 article lists the 1985–1987 Electra for the 3.8 FWD engine and gives VIN code 3 as the LG3; gnttype.org's 1986 and 1987 VIN tables print it as the Electra's engine, but its 1985 Electra block is word for word its 1986 block (sequential injection, coupe body 37 where the 1985 NICB manual prints 11, no 3.0L or diesel), a copy and not a second source; no sibling-platform source dates the code for 1985 (Wikipedia's Oldsmobile 98 article names the 1985 Buick 3.8 without a code), so 1985 rests on Wikipedia alone and the row is single-source; 1988 is left out: Wikipedia's Electra article says the older VIN 3 engine was still in some 1988 Electras, but its Buick V6 article ends the Electra at 1987

VIN code C; 165 hp, with a balance shaft; Wikipedia's Electra article names the LN3 from 1988 and its Buick V6 article gives it to the 1988–1990 Electra; the 1989 NICB manual prints VIN C for 1988–1989; gnttype.org's tables end at 1987

the Electra 430; Wikipedia's Oldsmobile diesel article gives the front-drive LS2 to the 1985 Electra only, and its Electra article drops the diesel for 1986; gnttype.org's 1985 table does not list it under the Electra
