Picked up the engine Saturday. Good thing too, it snowed on Sunday :-(.

I'll try to get the old motor out this weekend, then I'll get a good idea of what I'm up against.

Even though reverse doesn't work?

I can't see giving someone more that $50 for a trans that does not work.

I'm not sure how easy these are to rebuild, or if the reverse issue is a coomon/easy...

Oh, one other thing.

The fellow with the motor has the 3 speed trans that was originally attached to it. Our car has the 2 speed powerglide. Is it worth picking up the trans too? I know he...

Thanks for the feedback fellow New Englanders!

Funny you should mention the fuel line Bob, I was just thinking about that.
I'll have to see what I can do.

Yes, I saw the 2 cars on Craigs...

I found this.

Hey folks,
The 350 in the my wifes 68 lark is making a little bearing noise. There is a 71 350 from a Skylark available locally. Is this a direct bolt in?

The 68 is a 2 bbl and the 71 is a 4...

Thanks Dave.

I'll be interested to see what Avocado looks like.

Do you know of a link that lists these colors?

I used the reference material on this site for decoding my 68 Skylark. But I still have one question.

My paint code is T-8.

I understand that the "T" is for "Desert Beige" , but what is the...

I was wondering if people have any experience repairing bent top frames? The top frame on my convertible has a bent bar just above the drivers head. The bar that's bent is a flat metal bar, not one...

The Odometer says 80,000 ish.

I am thinking of yanking the motor out of the Skylark after the fall. My intention is to "freshen" up the motor. Right now the motor runs, blows no smoke, but does have some bearing noise at startup....

For some reason the word "contact" escpaed me , lol.

Anyway, it would appear that they no longer "spring".

Is this common?

Maybe I should let it soak in some pb blaster?

I went to change the front blinker bulb on the Skylark, these are the lamps mounted in the bumper. Getting the old bulb out was.....interesting.....It was rusted in there pretty good.

Now,...

SCORE!!!

Thanks for the tip.

While removing the dash on my 68 Skylark, I managed to tear the flexible hose that connects the blower to the dash vent. This is the 2 3/4" ( I think ) ID hose that looks like black fabric wrapped...

I guess I'll see what happens. :-)

The other thing I notice is, when the car first starts I get about a second of rod rap, then I never hear it again. The engine runs nice , no noise, no smoke. ...

Hi folks,
I am new to Buicks and have a newbie question.

I have a 68 Skylark I bought for SWMBO that has low oil pressure at idle ( the light comes on ). I ordered an oil pump kit and was...

Thanks for the reply Bob. What I am looking for is the dash pad itself, not the entire dash board. So, just the paded part on the top.
Sorry for the confusion.

Hi all,
I just picked up a 68 Skylark Custom Convertible with a badly cracked dash. I have someone local that has a 69 dash. Will this fit? Are they the same? Both dashes are AC dashes.

Thanks...
