    66 Skylark Suspension Upgrade Help

    On my '64 Skylark I used '93 Caprice (B body) spindles which gives you better handling, cop car/taxi brake calipers and pads (bigger surface area), '82 (?) Camaro 1LE rotors (12" brakes with 4 3/4" bolt pattern, Hotchkiss upper control arms, '77 Trans Am sway bar (1 1/4"), '92- '96 Jeep Grand...

    Saginaw Pump

    Nothing wrong with the stock pump. The best thing you can do is upgrade the steering box to a fast ratio one. Instead of paying $300 or more for a Borgeson or other remanufactred one for a GTO, 442, etc, get a '92 to '98 Jeep Grand Cherokee box. Exactly the same with the X cast into the top...

    Re-motoring a lakes bucket style street rod project called Cassi.

    If you want to build duels you can get most of the work done by ordering two left side truck headers for a Ford Y block from Sanderson. The port spacing is almost identical to a 320" Buick. But order them complete. I asked that the flanges be left off. MISTAKE! didn't know it at the time...

    Non standard body bolts needed

    Why not just go to your local hardware store and buy 8 bolts that are the correct size? Easy peasy.

    1960 buick rear axle

    Your question is conf using. Output shaft? Spin the DRIVESHAFT. What happens? One or both tires should spin. Both if posi. If not spin one tie. with driveshaft held. the other tire should turn. If nothing happens, maybe you have the short axle in the long tube and is not engaged. Think...

    68' 430 into my 66' Chevy C10 short bed

    Good luck. I'm in the process of doing a similar swap. 455 in a '68 C10. THM400 and a 3.08 Posi Buick rear end. Just dyno'd my engine. Used an 800 cfm Edelbrock and it worked well. Quadrajet is a great carb if set up properly. If that's what you have, use it. I suppose we'll give the...

    Re-motoring a lakes bucket style street rod project called Cassi.

    Just stumbled on this build and found it fascinating. You have a nice car and cool ideas. I wish you well in getting it roadworthy soon. I have many of the parts to do the same, kind of, but I have a T bucket with a nailhead so I don't want to build another roadster. plus, I'm older than...

    Edelhoser 800 CFM carb

    I didn't respond because I was waiting for you to tell me how to contact you. Not that familiar with Team Buick communications. Hoping to find an email address or phone # or something. Sorry.

    Edelhoser 800 CFM carb

    I'm assuming you are referring to an Edelbrock. Do you have a model number? I'm very interested. How would you like to be paid and how would you ship? I'm in the Minneapolis area so UPS wold probably work. Maybe even the postal people now that the holidays are done with.
