One of the easiest and cheapest ways to improve performance is to recurve the advance on the distributer. Here is an excellent article on how to do this:http://www.v8buick.com/showthread.php?t=63475

I don't think you can use a 350 cam in a bored out 340 as the valve placement in the heads are different ( the order in which the intake and exhaust valves are ). Stick with the harmonic balancer for...

I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong but I seem to remember that the valve covers on pre 1967 sbb, which of course would include the early V6, were designed to make the engine look like a...

Can anyone tell me if the bumpers, front fenders, and hood are the same on all three years. I know the 72 bumpers have rubber strips but are they otherwise the same. I found a 70 4 dr ht (I think it...

Man oh man this is begining to sound like a soap opra.:sad: I feel for ya. I'm sure we all know the frustrations of having everything you try on a project being problematic. Its good to hear that...

Thanks s172Nova. I checked another Qjet (no idea what its off of)I have lying around & it has a place to connect the TV cable to, so I'll use the throttle lever from that one. I will have to put a...

That would make sense, however both cables have the ball & socket type of end and there is only one pin (ball end on it) on the carb linkage. Also only one of the holes on the mounting bracket line...

Thanks again Jim. On the TV and accel cables I was somewhat confused!:clonk: Its been a few days since I took a close look at it. My problem is that there is only one pin on the carb linkage and I...

Thanks guys. I probably will switch to an HEI or Petronics as the resto progresses, but right now I just want to get it running to asess the condition of the engine so thanks Jim for the gap setting....

Last fall I puchased a 72 Skylark Custom 2dht. Now that its spring I want to get the car running. But first I need answers to a couple of questions. The engine is the correct SBB 350 (72) 4bll but...

The picture on the right looks like the trans I have, so I guess I lucked out. Again, thanks for all the help & I hope this helped some other people also.

After further inspection, I'm pretty sure that I do have a dual pattern bell housing as there are six bolts bolting the trans to the engine and there appears to be a couple of extra unused holes....

Thanks guy's for all your input. Since the 200r4 is presently bolted to the Buick 350 perhaps it is the dual bolt pattern housing? The car is not running at present but the engine & tranny are still...

I'm interested in using the 200r4 because I already have it. I understand that it can be beefed up enough to handle torque of a 350 Buick, is this true? But what I'm most conserned about is if the...

The previous owner of my 72 Skylark bolted a THM200r4 to the SBB 350, however the trans does not have the BOP bell housing. Will this work? I do have the proper THM350, but would like to stick with...

I just purchased a 72 Skylark 2dr ht with a 350 4 bll. The car needs lots of work, but I got it cheap and it is basically solid.It's going to be a wkend cruiser, but I want muscle car performance at...
