Should have put this in the first reply. Edelbrock makes the remote reservoir, pump and all the bits necessary.
I have seen some FI conversions that can use a remote fuel reservoir. The OE mechanical pump feeds the reservoir usually mounted on the firewall. An electric pump in the reservoir feeds the FI...
True. 350 only. I believe the other small blocks 215 thru 340 use a different head layout with equally spaced exhaust ports. Not Siamesed on the centers like the 350.
I just learned something that might be useful. I am reinstalling a 1968 350 in my 1968 Skylark. I am using the 2-1/2 inch TA Performance down pipe. Due to other modifications, I am not using the...
In the interest of full disclosure, when I did this I did not have the dash in the car. When I tried it with the dash, the lower shroud hit the slot in the dash. So I removed the lower shroud,...
Does anybody know what paint I should use on the metal parts of my dash panel. I'm talking about the area between the dash pad and the windshield as well as the area below the plastic dash insert,...
I aquired a BOP aluminium bell housing and a Buick flywheel. I don't know if the flywheel is from a V6 or a V8. The casting number is 1257035-2. It bolts up to a 350 crank but doesn't seem to have...
Here are some pictures of what I did. I'm sorry I didn't take any in the process of modification and assembly, but there is really not much to it. The third and fourth pictures are the original...
The brazing does need to be done well, but remember the braze only holds the shifter arm in place. The steering shaft is unmodified. The original shift arm was only held on with three very small...
67/68 GM A-body tilt steering columns are not common. I have been looking for one for my 68 Skylark project for some time. Most of the after market suppliers make them but they are expensive and I...
I am beginning to think that Buick 350 exhaust manifolds with down pipes bigger than 2" are about as rare as Unicorns. There was a guy in Cleveland parting out a 78 LeSabre who said it had 2-1/2"...
Thanks for the manifold feedback. Looks like I'm going to get to spend some quality time poking around the local wrecking yards.
I am building a Buick Skylark 350 for street/parking lot use. I do not want to use long tube headers and can't find anyone who makes shortys. The original manifolds on my 1968 engine accept 2" down...
I got an e-mail from Sherri at TA Performance this week. She said they have prototype castings made and are working on cutter paths for finishing them. They will require the thru the pushrod oiling...
I,ve not driven it yet. The trans is a PATC Raptor with a 2000 rpm stall speed lock up converter. I put 3.43:1 rear gears and an Auburn posi in the axle. In retrospect I think I should have gone...
I swapped a 2004R for the Powerglide in my 68 Skylark Ragtop. The speedo cable screwed right on. You just need to be sure the 2004R has the correct internal spedo drive gears for your wheel/tire...
