Best carb to use? Quadrajet. Best performance and fuel economy when set up properly. Easy to tune and use.

Float or floats, depending on your carb, can possibly be too low now. Today's fuel evaporates faster, so you need all you can get in the bowls to help prevent hard starting.
Welcome to the Buick world.
What engine and intake?
spacers can make some difference but depends on what you have.
i have run a 1" open spacer on the race car and it seemed to like that.

I have built quadrajets for the dual intake. I used Buick units converted to electric choke.
I think some of those intakes were set up for AFB carbs. Could use the Edelbrock carb since they are...
If you need a Quadrajet, let me know. I have them!
Fun! I wish I had my 72 4door back. It was a nice cruiser.
Enjoy it!
To change Pistons requires complete engine rebuild. Block will have to be bored and new Pistons pressed on to rods. Rotating assembly balanced. It would be part of major overhaul.
76 is a much better Buick quadrajet to work with.
464 is a Buick 455 that is bored .038.
462 is a Buick 455 bored .030.
I have one of each. The Buick 455 has thin cylinder walls so .038 is...
The B4B intake with Spreadbore base is for the quadrajet. The 75 Quadrajet was a hot air choke style and can be converted to electric choke.
So yes, the B4B and quadrajet are a good mix.

Do you have oil pressure?
Congratulations on getting it back. That is incredible.
Have fun on the restoration.
Welcome, and enjoy that Buick!
We put a 6 point in our 70 and could forget about back seat at that point. And had solid bars at doors which made it hard to get in and out. Safety first, but for a street car, I would find...
If it is a 12 bolt it probably is a chevy. Some Canadian made Buick GS's had 12 bolts, but not many available. You would need to measure the spring perches and overall width.
It would be less...
71-74 Buick 455 quadrajets were rated at 800 cfm. They are divorced choke style, meaning the choke coil element was mounted in the intake and connected to the carb with a rod. An aftermarket intake...
Earlier heads will help.
performer intake is an OK choice. Dual plane. I got 500hp out of one with a Qjet on a 455.
A Buick Quadrajet would perform much better than an edelbrock 750. They tend...

Well, here is my 2 cents worth.
Health problems are frustrating and overwhelming. But everyday, you can find examples of people doing amazing things.
Be positive. You take control of your life....
Best Buick information I EVER received was:
Only listen to real Buick people for advice. You will save money and enjoy a better ride!
It isn't a chevy, It's a Buick.
Hi. I read through your stuff there and have a few things to add.
1. 3.42 is a nice gear for the Buicks. I have used them for years in mine.
2. An original type quadrajet would provide best...
