    What bell housing and flex plate?

    Is the starter from the straight 8? Is there also a crankshaft adapter? Is the converter the lock-up type from the 200-r4? These questions need answers to make any suggestions. Sounds like fun though!

    Blend Door Actuator

    To study this we have to know if the actuator runs on vacuum or electric then if it's remote with cable back at the hand control.The flashing light shows its out of close loop.

    Skylark and Chev 350

    There was a class action settlement on these. My friend in Toms River NJ had a baby blue and white one with an orange 350. He got a check for $300 from GM.

    1403 Carb on 1964 Skylark

    The throttle plate just fits. It's the linkage and kick-down switch that takes some doing. 500 cfm is just fine.

    Lotta Work

    I'm in the midst of puting a 200-r4 in my '41. Seams like the best way to modernize the '64 Lark. Same length as the old 200 and overdrive.

    Slight Rebuild

    The OD 200-4R is the best, a shoe in. If the oil is black you probably need rings and maybe pistons. My original bearings and crank are great. Get timing chain, gears and oil pump kit. Timing cover...

    Not Too Tough

    The real problem - Did the converter go back and tear up the pump?

    Missing A Shade Tree

    You have all the comforts with that nice pad. Keep plugging.
  11. Micrometer or Cailiper

    Averaging the whole bearing surface with a mic better discribes the bearing requirement.

    O Ring Gasket

    A new gasket system is also needed. The aluminum is going to expand .035" over the steel cover. A nice fat 1/4" round would be nice.

    Not Unusual

    There's nothing in the rule book that says all sizes must be exact. Look for odd marking characters on the caps. Some cranks are all over the place.
  16. Shock Absorber

    Mechanicals don't always work the way intended. Instabilities show up at the last minute and are fixed with weghts, mufflers, and resonators.
  17. The Can

    It's a filter/dryer and accumilator and essential to the system. A change over kit to R134a would include one. None of this is cheep. You can still get R12.
  18. Click

    If the radio isn't stock then you need a filter like the old spark-plate type. The noise is comming in on your 12v.

    Throttle response

    I like the balanced opening of the back carb with the front one. How did you jet the back one?

    Carter for 41-42

    The reference list is missing the Carter carbs for 41 - 42. Both years are from Buick shop manuals.

    Carter or Stromberg

    Just jets and spacing are different between series. The rear one has a 1" damper under it for cold starts. Any carb will sit high. The stock air cleaner adds only another 2". Don

    GMorse is on the right track. One side of the cable could be froze. Otherwise radius grind the shoes or replace them. The ignition switch may be in the no key needed position, try it. The start...
