Points ignition most definitely.

Paint probably not for a long time if ever. I’m really not into sentencing my car to a couple years in paint jail nor do I want to shell out 20K+ for that...

Coffee and Cars this morning, took the ‘02 WS6 this time.

The 8.5 from a ‘71-‘72 Buick/Olds is only 1” wider overall so 1/2” per side. Should be a pretty simple swap as long as your wheel/tire combo isn’t at the edge clearance wise. Only the earliest 1966...

This.

Why the Holley that doesn’t outperform a Quadrajet ?

Make your life easy and just use the carb that fits everything without having to mess with anything else.

That is a YE code 325 hp 4-barrel 10.5:1 compression 389 with #76 heads from a big Pontiac equipped with a TH400 automatic.

Not particularly valuable because it’s not a GTO 389.

Anyone can access your email here, it’s really not wise to allow that.

Why would someone with a completely different name be contacting you for payment ?
