AND, you might be gretted now with an engine vibration because the original balance was comprimised.

Vern, Let me know how you make out. Tom T.

Vern, A couple things. 1st. the metal plate is a nec. piece that you NEED. Or else it's sucking exhaust into the intake. You ALSO need the correct base gasket. What comes with the carb. is NOT for a stock Buick manifold. It needs the "smiley" face gasket. Gasket on manifold. Metal plate...

One of the BIG reasons for a rough idle is the metal plate under the carb. & on top of the carb. base gasket. IS THIS METAL PLATE IN PLACE??? Tom T.

Unfortutately they ALL look good on the outside. You NEVER find out until your into it. Just a part of life. Bet you don't remember that it was crashed & that it was filled with bondo from tthat crash. Tom T.

You ould ALSO try Doug at the Buick Farm. Tom T.

Sorry, BUT I said Dex111 & Acetone mixed. Oil mixed with gasoline DOES NOT have any penetrating affect.

An Endoscope is a generically available in a variety of diff. brands. It needs to be hooked/loaded up to a laptop, best, so you can take it out to the vehicle your working on. The one I have comes with about 10 feet of wire & at the end it has 6-7 LEDs that you can ajust the intensity of with...

Duco55 The main reason I use it & have been using it for 30-35 years is because it's not thick like normal wheel bearing grease. That's why IF you do start usng it I could almosr guarantee you will be impressed & will start using it on EVERYTHING. Just buy a small cartridge just to try...

One thing I didn't mentionis the type of lube I use which is Kenall Super Blue. Comes in a cartrige or tube. It CAN BE USED for points because it has NO GRAPHITE in it as well as wheel bearing grease. It holds it's consistency for YEARS. When you check your wheel bearings after 5 or more...

1st. thing to do is remove ALL the spark plug wires. Next loosen, DO NOT REMOVE, ALL the spark plugs. Next blow compressed air to rid the plug area of any debris/dirt that MAY have accumulated over the past 7 years. Next buy an Endoscope model number HD720P. Do a google search for endoscope...

The '64 Special/Skylark had the 1st. switch-pitch tranny. So a '65 with a 300 V-8 would have it also.

Why not just have the ST300 rebuilt??? They ARE a reliable trans. Like said a TH350 is just about a bolt-in swap. AND as far as the linkage, again is no problem as you will more then likely be able to pull it down to 1st. gear with the play that's in the linkage. IF you don't like it the way...

truckman, When I installed a '59/401 in my '55 Buick I brought headers for a '65 BuickGS. Now I don't know how this will work out with the rounder exhaust ports on your heads, BUT as I remember they will seal to the heads with the PROPER type of gasket & I would reommend using RemFlex...

cquisuila, A 5 pin switch is available ONLY you just don't use the grd.

opie, Don't know how much I will be able to help, BUT here goes. In ALL my years I have NEVER seen a crankshaft break on a "NailHead", even when racing with the same crank for 20 some odd years. Replacing the crank after magnafluxing saw some tell-tale signs of stress cracks that were...

Sorry, BUT I don't recommend any one over the other in ANY of the swaps. It's all up to the abilites of the person performing whatever swap they deem nec. IF you use the original housing you will need to find a '61-'62 center section as above. It bolts in & the axle spline count is the same...

Points get a bad rapp. IF the proper regular distributor maintenence is performed at least on a yearly basis they should give you the proper amount of time expected from them. IT IS the maintenence that MOST forget about epecially lubing the rubbing block. Then dwell & timing will very...

So the master was just removed from the booster with NO parts hanging out??? IF that's the case then you DON'T have to replace the booster just the correct master cylinder. The depth of the piston inside the master will determine IF the master is a "Delco" or "Morraine" as the depth of the...
