Use a pair of vise-grips and tightly squeeze the ferrule then release, squeeze again on different sides and squeeze on every flat spot then use them to turn it out. Obviously you are going to want to...
If you can use a TH400 from a '78 Buick 350 let me know i'll make you a great deal plus im in Downers Grove.
PM me,

Congrats? But I am with njlimbaugh...point was?
I don't know if you have done this or not but roll the window down all the way and press on the top of the pad, push toward the outside of the car and lift upward as you do this. It usually is tough...
Use Eastwood's Rust encapsulator, followed by your choice of color. I did the top and bottom of my floor pans with it and no regrets, it works great.
I know this is a bit late, but if you can get one clip in good condition, walk into a carquest (if you have one of these stores) and they can find the clips you need. Hope this helps.
Ok, I have two 1978 Buick Electras and these cars share the same front floor section (sedan/ wagon). First place you want to look for rust is the drivers floor pan, look under the car an feel for...
Great to hear someone else has a Buick with an LS motor in it. I had the same problem when I built my 64 special but I ended up using the stock tank sumping it and dropping a complete fuel sending...
These are the only few I can think of off the top of my head:
*move, possibly fabricate a cross- member.
*flexplate may need to be drilled.
*driveshaft will need to be cut
*MOST IMPORTANT, if you...
If you look up the two different gas tanks on Spectra's web site you will get the dimensions. I looked them up and both have the same dimensions except the chevelle filler neck is 6 1/4" and the...
Floor pans and trunk pans are stupid easy to get however best of luck in finding NOS or reproduced quarters. As far as I know nobody makes them (if someone knows of someone that does PLEASE post) you...
I hate to play devils advocate lol but if your looking for a a great cruiser and don't mind toying with chevy motors, I have had excellent luck with my 5.3 and 6.0L swaps, the chevy lsx engines are...
A '68 Gs would have a tow rating capable of towing that. I WOULD NOT tow that trailer without a class III hitch and air shocks or load bags to keep the bumper off the ground. Also keep in mind the...
The 300 is a great little motor and they moved the skylark/specials around pretty quickly since they weighed so little. Always worth a look inside after all its free to look. ebbsspeed/slider if your...
What you seem to be describing is the cage-nut. The square "cage" holds a square, tapped piece of metal from spinning while allowing some side to side movement for alignment of the bolt. I had to...
Hi guys, i have finished most of my '64 2dr. special so far including frame resto, engine swap, suspension and so on...However I have hit a stumbling block, my quarters are heavily rotted(lowers are...
If in fact the tires and rims are the same size(I doubt you would post if this were the case) then its possible you broke a c-clip or c-clip eliminator. Jack up the beack of the car till wheels are...
Great info so far, as for smacking the back of a screwdriver either A. make sure it's a craftsman so you can return it when you break it or B. they make an "impact driver" which I use regularly with...
I have a 1964 Special 2dr. coupe that had a 300ci 2bbl, after spinning both tires (at same rate) the pinion spun 3&3/4 times (3.73:1), is this a ration available in '64on a non-posi car?
Sounds like Jan. There was one weekend of 60 degree temps so I threw on my slicks (295 50 R15)'s. Sunday came and I was too lazy to change 'em back so while trying to drive it to school in the snow...
I'll be using it as a daily driver, just so sick of seeing "blobs" driving down the road can't tell a mitsu from a chevy anymore so figured I'd keep with the classics but needed something that got...
Hey everyone my father and I are repairing a rotted out torque box on a 1964 buick special 2dr coupe (post car). Problem is that we are not sure what the original frame measurements are supposed to...
Lol, nice. Glad to hear there are still a few 49's running around. My friend has a '49 flatbed dually with a flat head v-8...sunk into the ground to the frame rails, and I get to winch it out with...
Has anyone here painted their car/truck with Rustoleum using a HVLP or gravity feed gun? I have heard great things about this method and was looking to get another perspective.
