Hi Nicole. Your Dads '39 66S Is what I would call moderatly rare with 3408 being built plus 62 for export. There were many 1939 models of which under a few hundred were made. As to how many left?...

Hi. As I remember those plugs required a gasket. It was a tiny hard meterial. There were several gaskets of similar size and crossection. Those gaskets were a hard substance. It's always possible...

Hi, If I understand correctly, you are asking why is the light there? I remember specifically at the announcement meeting for the '69's, we were told that light was there to warn pedestrians that we...

Hi. Several years ago I put a 364 up to a ST400. I had to make some changes to both the flex plate and the starter, using parts from both combinations. It sounds like you haven't heard the engine run...

Yes, they work the same. In case you're not aware, on the side of the transmission there two wires at the electrical plug. As I remember, the horizontal one is for the stator and the vertical one is...

Hi. I read about your problem a couple of times and came up with something. One thing to remember is that the oil in the converter solidifies at about 4500 rpm. In other words, at that speed it...

Hi Bubba.

Congrats on coming over to Buicks.

Something's wrong here. It wouldn't be a 55-63 Dynaflow. 1953 to '56 has one size bell housing. 1957 to '63 is another. They're not...

Hi Brian,

I read your post over a few times, trying to put it all together in my head. So here are a few of my opinions. They are probably worth about what you are paying for them. First off,...

Hi , The '68 skylark used the Super Turbine 300 (2 speed). Only the GS 400 and Sportwagon 400 used the Super Turbine 400 (3 speed). I've heard people refer to the ST300 as a Powerglide. Well, it...

Gregg, In reference to post #4, There was no new 300 in. engine for 1966. At least Buick didn't designate it to be so. The 340's were the new red engine, both 2 bbl & 4bbl.

Thank you.

Bob, thanks for the complements. I know what you mean about the engine colors. Especially the bluish tourquois that was used in the 40's, 50's and 60's. There were variations of it. My knowledge is a...

Hi Gregg, Your '66 300 c.i. engine should be the same bluish tourquoise that they used on most engines around that time. I believe you can get it from Bill Hirsch. You can find him in Hemmings. They...

Hi. First off, I wouldn't change the Quadrajet for some other spreadbore, and I would avoid an adapter with a Holly or something. Quads are good carbs and quite easy to work on. The thing is, they're...

These holes seem familier to me. I remember back in the fiftys, we did this to help in hard starting cases. In the desert area that I came from there was a problem with cars not wanting to start...

Hi Buickrodder. Our memorys are probably not too different. I should have made myself more clear in that I was thinking in the contex of the '50's. When putting a dynaflow up against the others at...

Hi Jim's 58. On the Dynaflows in '57 and '58, I remember there was a very specific way to adjust the shift linkage. They have a whole page devoted to the adjustment in the shop manual. You have to...

Hi Josh. I don't know what to tell you about the cam but, about the tourque converter.....Wire around the stator switch so that YOU control the switch pitch. That way you can have the higher stall...

Hi Buick born. Actually, I didn't mean the synthetic, I've been using the 15-40. I started using it in diesel trucks about 15 years ago because I was told to. The guy that recommended it had been a...

Hi Doc. This oil thing has been a topic for quite a while. And has had a lot of old car guys worried, me included. A few months ago I read an article all about the current oils and the problems they...

Wow! 7 years. That's quite a thread. So, the Riv's doing OK. How's your shoulder and your wife's knee? Doing well I hope. Since you started this, I've replaced both knees, one shoulder, one big toe...

In the photo it appears to be a two door "post" sedan. If that's so, it has to be a Special. There should be a "color and trim" plate fastened to the firewall on the engine side. It will say which...

Hi. It can be done but you will have to use a 1964, 65 or 66 TH400. Your TH300 bolt pattern is different than the '63 401. I think the rarest parts are going to be the GS oil pan and oil pickup....

OK guys, here's one for the really dedicated. I have a damaged 1922 mod 50 engine. I've recently picked up a similar block, undamaged. Obviously I'm hoping it will work. The problem is, I can't find...

Hi, :wavey: I'm new to the site and was looking around. Your LeSabre 400 question is an interesting one. I was selling Buicks in 1966 and remember a lot of stuff pretty well. And some stuff not as...
