I want to second the recommendation of using the GM accumulator. It is exactly the same part. Go to a local auto parts store and ask for the AC Delco ABS accumulator for a 1990 Buick Reatta. When installing the new accumulator, be sure to transfer the fitting in the neck of the old one to the new one. Use a flat-head screwdriver in the half-moon-shaped hole. Gently twist the screwdriver on one side, then move to the half-moon-shaped hole on the other side, and repeat, one side then the next. The key is GENTLY. Don't bend anything or scrape off any metal. It will eventually pop out. Install it in the new one by putting it in the hole and GENTLY tapping it against something soft.
Some people have suggested that bleeding the brakes afterward isn't necessary. I suppose that this is true if you don't mind having a nice little air bubble in your system after you're done, but if you're going to spend the money to make the thing right you might as well do it right. This air bubble will decrease braking performance and cause your pump to work harder. I promise you that this air bubble will be there when you're done. I think it may only be necessary to bleed from the front right caliper, though. When you bleed the front right caliper (the first in the proper brake bleeding sequence), you will see the bubble pass through the line. It's still a good idea to bleed everything else to be sure...it's really not hard to do, and half-assing brake work is just asking for trouble.
