    Ground Strap

    I don't know if yours had a ground or not. I would be surprised if it did not. NO DOWNSIDE to having one. Bigger the better. Ben

    ME PRESENTO

    If the convertible shown is the one referenced, yes, the engine will be a 248 if it has the original engine. A 263 from 1950 or later will fit right in. A picture of the driver [ manifold ] side will help much. Ben

    Last Straight Eight Buick with a floor mounted shifter was 1938. First 263 was 1950. What am I missing? Ben
