Yes, there was a 67 Skylark GS 340.

Idle Stator Switch and Converter Detent/Passing Gear Switch:
Two spades = switch pitch. So, you will need the detent that shifts the gear down and switches to high stall under heavy acceleration. There should also be a switch on the back of the accelerator...
How many spades are on the plug coming out of the transmission? You do not have a switch pitch if there is only one. In that case, there is only the detent for downshifting. It needs a power switch...
Of course you know we need pictures and to know the story behind it!
The 65-66 GS Skylark used specific frame pads, adapter plates and motor mounts not used on any other vehicle. Attached are the best pictures I have of mine. I hope they help.
No, you are going to have to figure something else out. The Nailhead and 300 engine have different bellhousings that do not have the same bolt pattern. The earlier Nailheads (pre 57) have a...
How about a picture? is the distributor in the front or back.

The last eight digits in the vin # are stamped on the left hand side of the same valley rail. You have the original motor of the car if that partial vin on the engine matches the last part of the...
The green 66 is a 401 unless repainted. The GS Skylark has a red 401 (MR) only in 66 that could have been transplanted into your car or all 425 (MW) were red in 66.
The 401 and 425 both could be red in 66. Most likely a 401 since 445 was the Tq of the 401 and 465 the Tq of the 425 on the air cleaner. You should find an MT or MR stamped on the right side of the...
425 would drop right in and it was an option for you in 66

The kits on bottom of the page in the link below will strengthen the non boxed frame, but will not make it into an original boxed frame. It would fit the bill if you want it strong enough for your...
Here is a 65 Skylark non-boxed rolling chassis in Charlotte NC for $1000. it is powder coated.http://65gs.com/board/index.php?topic=3767.0
65-67 GS Skylark were built on the boxed Skylark/Special convertible frame for those years. The GS skylark frames from 65-67 are all similar with subtle differences you can work around (Spring...
You may be able to remove the area, drill/tap for fittings and replace the section with a hard line. It is going to be a lot of work compared to starting with an undamaged 401 block. I would only...
The parts place, OPGI and Year one all carry a reproduction shroud. Griffen has an aluminum radiator replacement for the 67 and there are other universal models that are cheaper, but would require...
67 GS radiator, mounts and shroud will adapt to any 64-67 skylark with a 455.
I' stick with a rebuilt Q-jet. There is a guy on this board that rebuilds them specific to your combination (Cartamax?). Since you have a relatively low stall and are not porting your heads, I...
Tony, They certainly could have swapped in the 63 engine and trans combination if the donor car was available with the brackets and driveshaft needed to complete the swap. The frames are basically...
Perfect time of year for that one: enjoy!
Looks like they are 68-69 Buick A-body only (no other GM cars). The Parts Place and others have kits to repair the left or right side.
Yes, buick red.
