Glad to hear it is working out.
Please consider this Fact before you do anything. That is Assuming the car was stored with antifreeze in the system and not just tap water then:
If the car sat for that long, 30 years and it...

Keep it stock and don't hacky motto it and start swapping crap! It will be of more value to you now and in the future if you stay OEM correct.
The special 364 did not have the...
For anyone interested in the proper procedure for complete servicing of the Nailhead lifter including dissembling, cleaning, checking for wear and reassembly here is a really good post over on AACA. ...
Ok. This is what I have found. The best STOCK timing chain mfr today is that original OEM one in your car. If you can keep it in there and your not planning on red lining all the time and as long...
Great. But ask them to do a flow rate test. If it is 70% or below it will overheat. Save up and get it re-cord and done up right.
Keep It Original! :shield: .... always my mantra.
I know for a fact that a 1960 Buick Radiator will fit and looks pretty much the same as the mid year model 75 radiators for Buick 1957. I know because I have done that in the past and it worked...
No wait, I just found down at the corner from where I live of all places a nice little corner submarine, beer and gas up shop. Here is a photo of what they were selling gas for as of yesterday:

Is this what it's a-coming to ....?
I thought I would get a good set from Egge Machine. So I ordered and received a cam gear, chain and crank gear manufactured from S.A. Gear Manufacturing Company - Automotive Timing Components out of...
Good Advice. What I have done for years is heat the bolt before I even begin to extract it at least 2 times. That is, I let it cool and then come back to it and do it again the second time and then...
My take above is just in reporting facts and not opinions. I suppose one should have a point of view but I rarely do. Apples to oranges in comparing 50 year old oil specs to any given time frame up...
You may want to try these guys. They are in my neck of the woods and have communicated with them regarding my 57 radio and have responded promptly and concisely. With that said, I have never used...
Yeah to that. But be careful, synthetics are not the complete answer either and synthetics do not really have the requisite chemistry to be a proper ZDDP emulsifier and carrier. If you check most...
I like the idea and what you've done. It will not tip over if there is a side movement as standard perch jacks are prone to. I would suggest welding a U shaped saddle so it will grasp the frame...
Out here in San Francisco it is near $ 4.00 per gallon.
Just a side note fact:
The last 2007/08 price jack that we all remember was due to then newly deregulated and established form of price...
Just thought I would give everyone a "heads up". I found this guy on ebay that has been making exhaust systems apparently for a long time. He now has a complete replicated OEM dual exhaust system...
I was just adding that it is a fact that in 1957 for the 364 nailhead, it came stock with a 15 lb cap and a 160 degree thermostat. 1963-64 may well call for a 180 degree thermostat.
I believe 15 lb 160 is stock for my 57 nailhead. What are you suggesting a 180 degree thermostat?
No I believe you have to just remove the pan and take the oil pump out to replace the main long shaft of the oil pump gear. Do you have the old one? Measure to see if they are the same length. You...
You don't heat the head of the bolt. You heat the surrounding area to cause expansion then contraction of the area and the bolt. No nothing catches fire if you are alert. The propane flame is a...
I always take a propane torch to the area or the bolt before I attempt to remove it. Make sure you take all necessary precautions to remove gas containing items to a safe distance away.
No not at all but I have been the devil's advocate in so much as just trying to see what Depth of knowledge in this regard is out there rather than just getting opinions.
You guys are great and...
Hey I hear you guys. However, it is my understanding that these gears are all aluminum, it is just that the tips are coated with a very high impact wear resin that lasts up to around 40,000-60,000...
