For carb rebuild try Roger at the Chevy Shop 773-777-1818.
Just a heads up in case anyone else hits a snag like this. I had pulled the distributor out of the 364 in my '60 LeSabre when I detailed the engine compartment. I went to install it after rotating...
Mine leaked with a new o-ring on my 364, so I pulled it back apart and put some black silicone on it, let it "tack up" a bit (maybe 10 minutes or so) and reassembled. Then, I didn't put any coolant...
I have no knowledge regarding the headers, but I would say yes to a BIG trans cooler. On my '60 LeSabre with a stock 364, AFCO aluminum radiator (2 - 1" tubes, no trans cooler) & shroud I use a big...
I got my rattle-cans from http://www.classicbuicks.com/ for my '60 LeSabre. It is Dupli Color brand, but I can't tell what Dupli Color's part # is, it's not readable. The paint went on well and is...
OK guys, he found it on the passenger side just below the deck. Thanks for the help.
That would be the same spot the reference info says for 1971 & prior, but I'll go ahead and tell him to pull the pump and have a look.
Thanks guys:thumbsup:.
Thanks, but I checked there already and it says:
"350 inch until 1971. The engine serial number is stamped on the front of the left cylinder bank. The production code number is between the left...
Hi guys. I'm trying to help a buddy out. He has a '72 GS-350 ragtop, and he is trying to locate the serial number on the engine, to see if it's a "numbers matching" car. I searched the archives to no...
Hi Ben, and welcome aboard. You'll find getting parts for these old Buicks can be a challenge. I found my local parts store was able to get most of the parts I needed when I did my brakes a while ago...
Hi guys. Here is the list of parts that I used on my '60 LeSabre ragtop front disc brake conversion. Thanks to all who gave me help, I appreciate it.
DISC BRAKE CONVERSION – most parts from ’71...
Power Tour roll call.
I'll be Long Hauling out of Chicago, heading for Cleveland Saturday morning. Probably going to do Cleveland & Kalamazoo in my buddy's silver '67 Caprice, and then do the rest...
Chris, I was wondering how your disc-swap came out? I finally just finished mine, it worked great. I used Scarebird's brackets, which worked out great with very minor adjustments. I'll start another...
Hi guys. I picked up a set of Buick Road wheels (15x6, year/model unk) to put on my '60 LeSabre ragtop. The problem I'm running into is that the rims won't fit on the back, the "hub" area of the rim...
I just saw this thread, and I was wondering if anyone ever determined if using synthetic ATF in the Dynaflow is OK? Sounds like a good idea, as long as it's compatible with the Dynaflow...
rcmastersrookie, I just noticed your posts about the conversion - I haven't been online for a while. If you still have questions and I can help, please email me: lynchmobracing@yahoo.com
Thanks for the input, guyopel. That's one of the things I'm worried about.
Hi guys. I've been hibernating for the winter, but it's time to get back in the garage. I'm looking to convert my '60 LeSabre ragtop to power windows, and I was thinking about using one of the...
Thanks Tom
Tom, that would have been a great deal! Obviously I already have the trans mount, but what is the thrust mount?
Hi guys. Figured I'd let you know how my trans mount came out. As mentioned above, I sent it out to CARS, who actually farms the work out to Steele Rubber. The mount looks like new, definitely...
OK, no takers on this one. I just sent my mount to CARS Inc. I'll post when I get it back so you know how it turned out.
Hi guys. Getting ready to send out my '60 LeSabre's transmission mount (from a Dynaflow) to have it revulcanized. Any place you recommend to go, or even to stay away from? Thanks.
Sounds good, Chris - keep us posted. I'm pretty sure I'll do the same thing this winter with my '60 LeSabre (along with a million other things...).
camccardell, how's your disc conversion coming? Thinking about sending them my spindles this fall. Is yours done yet?
