...and since they were so popular in their time, there's still more old speed equipment floating around for them than any other early (pre-Chevy)...
I bought several Saginaws over the years for next to nothing, usually from the guys who said, "it's just one of them Vega transmissions".
They were made in both 1.5 and 1.8 ratios, for the '49-'51 or '52-'58 engines.
Luckily, the rain was much slighter than originally anticipated for today. Now, it's supposed to rain around 11:00 or midnight, which is a...
From 1962-64.
Dropping the tank out of my '53 wasn't a big deal; in fact, it has a 1/8 pipe plug in the bottom that allows you to drain it first.
...and they were all recalled when it was discovered that driving in close proximity to a radio station made them whack out. I wonder who the...
If you like the looks of small air cleaners, buy a couple K&N filter elements for them. A friend had a '39 Ford coupe with a stock 59A in it,...
No, but the "chrome " wheels on the rollover are stock wheels painted silver.
It would have had an AFB from the factory, which is what design Edelbrock carburetors are based on...and who the hell over the age of 10 throws...
Funny...that's exactly what happened with my first '53 Chevrolet. One morning I was slowing down for a red light, and it quit. Turns out that...
People always talk about "splash oiling" Chevy sixes as if they're a Briggs&Stratton lawn mower engine, but it's more complicated than that with...
You can use the 216 valve cover on the 261 by using the early retaining studs.
Yeah, sometimes they just jump into my wagon on their own.
Bought me a pile o' carburetors. [ATTACH]
I'll be there from Tuesday afternoon through Friday.
Yeah, after a very mild winter, it's trying to make up for it with two out in the bottom of the 9th.
What was the result so far as driving it?
That's an interesting adapter on the rear dump. It converts the '37-'48 straight down outlet to the '49 and newer angled outlet.
Believe nothing until you get the stamping numbers from the topside front of the blocks. Just like every sbc is out of a Corvette, every hemi is...
While the block pattern is the same as Olds and Pontiac, this adapter only has a starter bulge on the passenger side, making it Buick specific.
The first passenger car in the U.S. to come with a 327/2 bbl. was a '67 Camaro.
I've only seen one small ad in the back pages of a 1950s Hot Rod magazine advertising a finned aluminum valve cover for straight eight Buicks....

Code H is indeed a 1957 235 out of a truck. Can you supply a shot of the top of the lifters?
I don't get why a kit especially made for the car would include a distributor that advances in the wrong direction.
Like the advance in any distributor works. The ones pictured here look to be all centrifugal.
The Jackrabbit Special was one of my favorites; When Pontiac released the Fiero, it looked like they copied its styling. Remember the Saturday...
