    Switch pitch torque converter

    I have a 66 turbo 400 Buick transmission behind a 425 nailhead. I had the switch pitch torque convertor rebuild. Can I drive it for a 1,000 miles without hooking up the switch pitch assembly? Which position is the torque converter in if not wired up to electricity?

    Land Rover (Buick) engine parts

    I am working on 2000 Land Rover with a 240 CI aluminum engine. Is that a Buick motor that has been enlarged from 215 CI? Does rocker arm parts from a 215 interchange with the 240 such as plugs in the ends of the rocker arm shaft? Land Rover parts are hard to find and expensive. Buick parts...

    Steering shaft horn repair

    I know this forum caters to the "leave it like it came from the factory" crowd and I left my '52 Buick stock for 33 years but it just can not keep up with traffic so I am installing a 425 nailhead in it. I decided to go with rack and pinion steering and that required me to modify my steering...

    Generator bracket

    I am trying to run my new rebuilt 425 engine on an engine stand. To get the water pump to work I thought I could use some 401 generator mounts from a 1959 that I have, and mount a generator then I could adjust a belt to turn the water pump. I have the Master Parts book but can not find a...
