    It's a 1973 Carburetor, not a 1972. Did you buy the 1973 Chassis Manual I linked for you in the other thread?

    72 Riviera Radiator Shroud Attaching Points

    There are two tabs on the radiator support. The bottom of the shroud has two elongated holes that fit over the tabs. The shroud is bolted at the top. You can fabricate rubber isolators that fit over the tabs to tighten it up in the holes. I just cut a piece of fuel line hose to make my own.

    seven blade fan clutch

    seven blade fan clutch

    Are you sure? There are 3 different water pumps that fit the 215-300-340-350. They will all bolt up, but the wrong one can create all kinds of fitment/alignment problems.

    looking for rear main seal part number

    Fel-Pro BS40032 seal. Technically, it is for the Ford 429-460, but it works like a charm. https://www.rockauto.com/en/parts/fel-pro,BS40032,crankshaft+seal,5604

    Vacuum advance at max at idle

    Emissions, and originality is the ONLY reason to use the thermo-vacuum switch and original set up. The engine will run better and cooler with full time manifold vacuum advance. I have always done so with my Buicks.
