Great, so there are some Buick guys in Tucson ,haha. I'll definately check out the DQ as I live right by 1st and Ina. Thanks guys, I look forward...
Nope sorry, not me, I sold my 70 GSX, 71 GS455 and my blown 455 32 3 window( kept the engine, it's in the garage) so I'm down to my everyday...
Hi guys, I've finally made the move from NJ to Tucson AZ. and was wondering where's a good spot to find fellow HAMB members here in Tucson. I've...
Try the Mitchell website. It seems that not many wanted the old stuff on CD (except me) when they released it a couple of years ago so they now...
No fiberglass huh? Oh well, guess that kicks me out............. Al
I'm plannin on being there with my # 66 blown 32 coupe. Probably bring a friend or two with their cars. See ya then. Al
Gotta say it was a great show (cept for that RT #309 traffic...D'oh!). I was there with my (#66) 32 3W and I've always enjoyed the "entertainment"...
Well, I've bought two pairs of Hurst pie-cut cheater slicks now and I love em. Exellent people to deal with and very pleased with the quality of...
Lotus, you can't go wrong by going to V8 Buick as they're a great bunch of guys who pride themselves in helping other Buick guys. You can ask here...
There is a good book by ( I think) Mike Dove about hotrodding a Buick engine. If you can't find it I'll check on the title tonight when I get...
Engine shot
The Trans-Adapt set-up has a simple o-ring like you mentioned. The oil filter adapter and the filter relocation kit both came with an o-ring which...
I got my oil filter adapter and relocation kit right from Summit and they're made by Trans-Adapt. I would agree C9's set-up is much nicer and...
Guys, like C9 said, the 455 Buick makes a great street rod engine with tons of torque and realtive light weight. I had a Stage 1 Buick in my...
If the price of the TA or Caddy rear calipers catches you off guard (the cheapest rebuilt ones I found were $70 each plus a $75 core charge not to...
Just my opinion, maybe it's because the blower moves so much air, a progressive linkage set-up might cause the engine to be too lean at cruise...
Yep, been there done that. I just changed the blower gasket because of a cold start backfire(No Choke set-up). I initially had a big time bog when...
Well, I can't get my 750 AFB carbs(Eldebrocks actually) to run rich enough with my 6-71 blown 455 Buick. I run 116 primary jets and 69/37 primary...
Hey Stud, that's my blown 32 and my buddy's roadster across from it with the 6 carbs. Nice to see the HAMB was well represented and it was an...
I'm gonna disagree with the over-carb idea. I've built a couple blower motors (including a 350 chevy) and I think the 750 carbs will be just fine....
Oh,by the way, did I mention that I have extensive experiance making Q-jets run hard..........? The biggest reason I see for guys bailing on the...
Check this out for the TA heads http://www.taperformance.com/stage_1_street_eliminator.htm
Charlie Evans still makes the adapters to fit a B-block(not RB) Mopar intake to the Buick, though they're not too popular simply because there are...
C9, the Elbebrock heads was on display (from what I here) at the GSCA Nats this year. It does take factory intakes ,but for some unknown reason,...
TA Performance makes a nice header flange set with tube stubs already welded on for smallblock, big block and nailhead Buicks. That's what I used...
If you look down between the #5 and #7 sparkplugs, you should be able to see a flat portion of the block deck were the cylinder head recedes....
How about "The Sharkskins" ? They were awsome at the "Hotrod Hoe-down" last time I saw them. http://www.thesharkskins.com/
Here's the next engine going together for my 32. Should have enough power to "cruise"
Here's one that I have in my coupe. It's a 1970 Stage 1 that I assembled myself. I've been building Buicks for about 25 yrs so if you or anyone...
So, how about a nice street blower engine that you could swap pulleys out to alter boost(thus effective compression ratio)? One set of pulleys for...
