installed a 6.0 AND 4L80E in it! that should change its personallity a little! Hey Can anyone hook me up with a 1972 skylark wiring diagram?

I got around to pulling the harmonic balancer off the engine after ordering the used one Bob had told me about on Ebay. Upon removing the balancer I found that the outside ring had slipped causing it...

Thank You Bob, you continue to impress me with with the help you provide in this forum!

On my 1972 Buick skylark 350cid engine I tried to time it with a timing light. Of course I cleaned the marks on the timing cover and on the harmonic balancer but I could not find the timing mark on...

Went to drive the car last night, it was not running well, thought I would check the timing this morning. cleaned off the harmonic balancer and started car. I could not find the timing mark. adjusted...

I gave my dwell meter away years ago, never thought I would use it again.
Good Idea though!

I know the speedometer is correct, maybee i should buy a cheep tach at the local swap meet and hook it up to see if it matches, or try to get 5k out of it and see what happens.

On my 72 skylark custom 350cid I have a GS tach on the hood, At idle it shows 700-800rpm and crusing at 60 it shows 1800rpm. I am still getting used to the car so I don't want to hurt it. Pulling it...

finally got my OPGI catalog in and found the part

has anyone found a replacement part for the cardboard between the rear seat and the metal that it hangs on?

Thanks Steve, I agree with you, I have never had the touque that a 455 puts out but I understand they like to pull steep gears!

Do you have a clutch fan on it? It may not be turning the fan fast enough at Idle! I believe there is a clutch that works off temperature. When it gets too hot it will lock up and give you more...

Who is Mr. Bowtie, If you are responding to my reply to what I experienced in my El Camino I thought the information would help with a Buick owner finding a gear ratio. Maybe I should have left out...

I have a 1970 El Camino that has a weak 350 in it. It had a 2:72 gear ratio and a 350 th trans. in it when I got it. I first installed a 700r4 to get the lower first gear and the overdrive. At 65 mph...

Does anyone know if they make a short header for the 350?

Got the engine back together today. I am glad I tackled this now, we had great weather and I could take my time do to the 3 day weekend! Everything went back together fine. I forgot how easy these...

I am not an authority on this subject although I have had problems with aluminum radiators. Your fin count may be too thick to pull air through while the car is idling. May I also suggest that you...

Pulled the pan today, it was a little difficult without an engine hoist. Made a 2x wood frame to go around the front of the cross member then blocked my jack so it would not roll and lifted on the...

Hi guys, I bought a 72 skylark convertible with a 350cid and when I got it home the first thing I did was change the oil and the front shocks.
I noticed some oil dripping from the converter cover...
