Sorry for the confusion, the condenser/capacitor being refereed to has a wire going to the points and is located under the distributor cap.
However, if you do not have power going to the + side of...
First checks most people do in the field is spark test at the plug wire lead, hold it about 1/4" away from anything on the engine and see if you have a spark that jumps to ground. If not, you can...

It would be nice if there were someone to respond to every post quickly.

I think you will find that "originally" virtually no gaskets were installed at the factory with sealers. Sealers are often used to compensate for some potential deterioration in surfaces. RTV (or any...
More than one solution will be satisfactory. I have never used dry gaskets.
I am sure the Permatex Ultra Gray will do the job on the intake and the thermostat housing. It should be just fine on...
My Hollander shows the differences lie between Electra and 225. If both are Electra you may have a match.
Ben,
In this case we are just using a common replacement piston at 0.030" oversize, so cylinder walls won't be a problem.
I am just setting up for piston valve clearances and have them to be...
Anybody had the courage to do some major material removal on their heads or blocks?
This article suggest you can take .175" off the head!
This one says it can be done, but cautions it may be...
I think I would strip the primer and redo it. 170 degrees is just not going to make it. Under hood temperatures on a hot day can get at least close to that. Definitely the carb heat area under the...

That motor will have the best exhaust manifolds offered on the big Buick motor.

I was messing with that about a year or so ago, but my idle switch was working properly. Looking at the manual, it appears that the switch rolls around the linkage varying the pressure on the...
If the car has air conditioning, it would have been green, known as soft ray. It could have also been an option without a/c.

That is an interesting number (382260), it doesn't show in our reference or any other that I find. I am curious what the number of the front carburetor is?
I drive a 5800 ft summit fairly regularly with a '67 GS 400. I have no problems, so I would have to say no:)
I plan on swapping in a 455 this spring, I will let you know if it makes a...

I had an ugly crease on a '52 which ran from the front fender to the rear wheel opening. The inner fender needed a bunch of hammering to allow the outer fender to come out to position and take out...

With out seeing it, it is not possible to give accurate advise.
