Could you also tell me the location of the shifter in regards to something that I can

If you look at the rod caps and the rods you should see what the manual is talking about. I don't have an engine that is currently apart, so that is all that I can tell you. If you don't understand...
According to the chassis manual: "The rib on edge of cap and the conical boss on web of rod must be toward rear of engine on all rods in left bank or toward front of engine in right bank."

Bought one, no longer an issue.:hurray:
I recently added power disc brakes (front and rear) to my 68 GS400 and am in need of the brake pedal. This is a TH400 automatic car. What other years and makes are the same as mine?
Is anybody reproducing the inspection plate for the TH400 transmission. Looking for one made out of medal.
I am not sure what the proper name is for the four (per side) plastic pieces that attach to the Radiator core support that the screws attach to that hold on the headlight bezels, but long sentence...
Not sure on your car, but on my 68 GS 400 convertible it uses AT fluid. My pump is located in the same place as yours and I can access it from the trunk. There is a rubber plug on one end to fill...
I am rebuilding a '68 400 engine and need to know if it internal or external balanced.
Thanks,

Troy,
I have a timing cover off of my '68 400 that should fit. If you want it, I will let it go for $100 plus shipping. Email me off list if interested. dcvjrv@att.net

Is there any company currently reproducing the rallye wheels for the 1968 Buick GS400?
You might want to give R.O.S. LLC a call at (203) 272-710 or e-mail at <ros6872@hotmail.com>. They are located in Connecticut.
Good Luck

What does it take to make a '68 400 cid engine into a 455 cid?
Bob,
Thanks for the response. The guy is asking $350, so I guess I will pass on it.

About how much would a complete 1978 V6 Turbo be worth. It was running when it was pulled in 1988. Thinking about buying it for a project I will do if I get the motor.
Thanks,
Jim V.
Yes, that is correct, it is NOT listed since it wasn't a standard color. COPO's were special ordered items.

In 1968 Buick had a yellow paint for the Skylark, or maybe just the GS 400, that was a brighter than the standard yellow. Does anyone know the code or paint formula for that paint?
Thanks in...
It is indeed a 3.42 non-posi (soon to be a posi) with an original 3-speed on the floor. Transmission was built by Ford.
