  2. Remote Reservoir

    Should have put this in the first reply. Edelbrock makes the remote reservoir, pump and all the bits necessary.
  3. Remote Reservoir

    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...

    350 manifold

    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.

    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,...

    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...

    Cheap 67/68 tilt steering column

    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 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...

    2004R for Powerglide

    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...
