Drove a big truck for years and could back a 52 foot trailer into spaces you wouldn't think it would fit. Can't back a boat trailer to save my life.

If the 231 is a turbo engine you might go to https://www.turbobuick.com Engine tech should head you in the right direction. They are all 231 turbo geeks. Even if its not a turbo these guys know...

Replaced all vacuum hoses, plugs and wires, fixed all electrical and engine runs really good. Real smooth until I put it in drive. The engine starts to run like its running on 4 cylinders. I have...

What a great idea!! Carb cleaner will degunk anything. Yea its sat on rubber and had a 1/4 tank of gas when parked. It would be easy to drop the tank. I can really shake it up then. Thanks

That's what I was hoping but its not to be. I wish I could remember why I parked the car in the first place. Maybe it was because the alt. went out and I didn't want to fool with fixing it. I...

Found a voltmeter and tested it. Showed bad. Pulled it out and found where the dang mice had eaten a wire off at the pigtail that clips into the alternator. Making that 40 mile trip tomorrow to...

I had the engine running today and took the negative battery cable off and the car died. Am I to assume the alternator is no good? I have no gauges or warning lights yet so (fuses probably) no red...

My 79 v6 231 is a metric car. Most everything is metric. I changed the oil the other day and it was like 10 or 11, can't remember. I think the engine in question is a 264. I have no idea what...

Give it a day or so. Trust me, there are a ton of 50's owners on this site. Be glad you don't have a 79 lol.

Got the engine running today and it heated up real fast. The heater hoses were real hot but cold water in the radiator. Ye wreckn' the thermo is frozen? Please don't say water pump. I could be...

I'll try that wrecking yard idea next time I go to the city.

Anyone know where, or what, the wire goes to on the M4MC Rochester carb electric choke. It must go to one of the wires in the engine harness where the ESC controller hooks in. There should be two I...

I've been to every site like this I can find. No one seems to know were to find them.

What is the best way to clean out the gas tank and fuel line? Been sitting since 2000

Compared to the mileage of my engine yours isn't broken in yet

Yep, got a catalog from TA and went to your web site and called all over the place checking on engines. After all this I found out the little v6 I have will out run a lot of $$$ spent on a engine...

Yes, pull through. A good carb and alky to cool a bit, a little wastegate adjustment with larger down pipe and you have a nice daily driver. I'll PM you in a day or so.

I would need new floats, rod and rod hangers, jets to larger size, tune, etc., etc. with the cleaning up of the thing. I will PM you to get your phone for a quote. I would bring the carb to you. I...

Anyone know of any shop around the Abilene TX area that is up to date on b\t turbos? How about carb shops that know the difference between a Quadrajet carb for a turbo and a regular Q-carb?

Back in 1967 I did a 55 Ford trans. When it was ready to put back in the car I just filled the torque converter and added to the (full cold) mark. Put it back in, started it up and checked the...

That is a real nice car man. I'd like to see more of it. Do you have other pictures in the gallery here?
