Yea check the fusible links. I would check the condition of the starter and solenoid and the wiring that runs to it also. Kid might have fried the starter by cranking it too much. My experience has...

Other than telling you what the factory HP rating was when it was new, there is absolutely no way to tell you what kind if power an old well used possibly completely worn out engine will put out for...

Try Year One. There are a few others that sell the patches also. I bought the 3 piece kit to fix my radiator support and had it put in by a buddy of mine that has a body shop. Worked real good. You...

Don't think the Chevy piston is gonna work. Not any off the shelf piston anyway.
Whether you are wasting your time or not is kinda dependent on what your trying to do.
What are you trying to do?...

Here's the beauty of the Buick 350 and why you can forget all that Pontiac mumbo jumbo, my 6X's are better than your R2D2's, crap. For all practical purposes they put the same head on every one! They...

Parts for the '70 Skylark will NOT fit the '65. The floors and frame MIGHT be compatible from '64 thru '66 but later ones will not work. Yes you need a boxed frame for a convertible. Finding one will...

I just re read your earlier post where you stated that you " followed all the accepted practices for improving oil flow". If I may ask, what modifications did you make? Some of these things are for...

Low 48, thanks for having a sense of humor. There is no way you are going to know what it is until you find it. All we can do is offer ideas as to what it might be. Every so often you get one that...

Really, one bad experience and your ready to throw in the towel and condemn a whole division of GM? Come on. I've worked in the machine shop business for 22+ years and have seen people drag in all...

The shaft isn't going to be the problem, I'd say it would be the rockers themselves that are more likely to be a problem. They will break before the shaft will. What is the duration at .050 on the...

The 252/4.1 is basically just a 231/3.8 with a larger bore. All the other parts are the same. The block you have will need to be magnafluxed inside and out. If I remember right these had a bad habit...

Yes, they run coolant back to the Dynaflow for cooling. There should be a little heat exchanger bolted to the side of the tranny.

I would start by checking how much end clearance there is between the oil pump gears and the pump cover. I believe that the minimum is somewhere around .002" and you should be as close to this as you...

That overhang does kinda throw ya, but yes they are 455 mounts and they appear to be in the correct position. I would make sure that they used good grade bolts when they installed them.

I would keep looking for an external problem. You would need a ton of sediment in the block to cause over heating. Check for loose water pump impeller, corroded fins on the impeller, bottom hose...

Yes, it should fit quite nicely.

Buick also used them in '67, which will be the one you need to bolt to the later engine. The earlier ones were for the Nailhead and have a different bell housing bolt pattern. They are not...

Literally, any that you can find.

Don't worry about what number you get with the compression tester. Too many variables. What you want to see is that all of the cylinders are within 10% of each other. Not 10 psi, 10 %. Look in the...

Yes you should get a drain pan and drop the coolant out of it before you pull the intake. Use the petcock on the radiator or pull the bottom hose. This will keep coolant from getting into the...

Is the distributor in the front or back of the engine?

No, you cannot bore the 401 to a 425. Yes the castings are different. That is just about the only difference.

Try to find the correct Quadrajet. It is by far the best carb for that application.

I'd call Sanderson. They can probably make them or sell you the stuff to make your own.

Might have to take it somewhere and have it run on a live scope to see what the ignition is doing. Might have bad ignition control module, yes I know it runs but that doesn't mean the module is okay....
