Hello, I have a '64 skylark with a 2 barrel carb. I am purchasing a 4 barrel intake (from another 64). I am trying to research fuel injection setups for it. The two leading contenders seem to be FiTech and Holley. Has anyone tried that? Were you successful?? What pitfalls should I watch out...

Will an intake from a 1967 300 work on an engine with 1966 300 heads??

I have a 1964 skylark with a 300 engine. The heads are in bad shape, I am trying to find a set of correct ones in good shape. Want to avoid cast iron if possible. Thanks John

Hello. I am about to install an original (repaired) factory clock into my '64 skylark. I did not 'upgrade' to a quartz movement :) .. Here's my question.. Normally when I am not going to drive the car for days/weeks/months, I disconnect the negative side of the battery and hook up a battery...

Hi. I just purchased a new top boot with clips for my 64 skylark. I need to pop-rivet the clip to the boot, but the instructions don't specify what size rivet to use. The diameter I can figure out from the hole size pretty easily, but I am not sure how long they need to be. Has anyone done...

I have been told that the ring and pinion in my rear end is badly pitted and should be replaced... Anyone know of where a set can be obtained? Don't want to change the gear ratio if possible.

A friend just bought a '78 electra with a buick 350 engine. He is having trouble sourcing parts (an oil pan for starters). Do you folks know of any resources for that?? Thanks John

The rear window on the convertible top of my 1964 skylark is clouded and discolored. Looking to replace, and plan on keeping the plastic window (as opposed to upgrading to glass). Has anyone had this done? Can you recommend (or caution against) a specific supplier?? The rest of the top (white...

Need some advice (as usual lol). I have a 1964 skylark. Want to swap the old incandescent bulbs to bright white LEDs. Plan to leave the front bulbs alone! Purchased the LEDs and a LED compatible flasher and installed them this evening. When I turn on the headlights, both bulbs light up...

Hi, My 64 skylark convertible seems to be charging at 15V... From what I have read, that's a little high.. Is my voltage regulator (external on the 64) going bad? Or is it most likely something else.. fyi.. Not driving it much in the winter so I have time to troubleshoot.. John

Hi.. I have a '64 skylark... 300/2bbl engine. There is someone online selling a complete 300/4bbl engine for $500.. I am considering getting just the intake/carb/air cleaner off of it and swapping onto my engine. Does that make sense? Is $500 a reasonable price? I would be buying the...

Good morning, I have a 1964 skylark convertible. Although the wipers work on BOTH high and low speeds, they will not stop. I have replaced the switch already. I have a attached a picture of the wiper motor. It has three terminals and a ground strap. I suspect that the parking mechanism of...

the timing cover on my 1964 Sklylark with a 300 cu in engine was damaged by improper maintenance before I purchased the vehicle. The mechanic is going through the engine now to replace gaskets and seals and wanted to replace the timing cover. I ordered (what should have been the correct)...

Hi, I have a 64 Skylark with the 2-speed automatic transmission. Just had everything cleaned up and found the transmission plate. I am pretty sure the '35' at the top is the model number and the '64' in the lower left corner is the model year. '298' is probably the sequential number...

Hello, In preparation for a complete paint job, and in order to save a bunch of $$, I want to as much disassembly on my '64 skylark convertible as possible. I want to remove all of the bumpers, trim, and interior. I know that the trim and interior removal requires some specialized tools, but...

I have absolutely zero fabrication skills/tools, but would like to mount one of these: https://smile.amazon.com/dp/B07F84VVB4/?coliid=IO39QO1GUFT1Y&colid=3SCSIGGPYZJG9&psc=0&ref_=lv_ov_lig_dp_it in my 1964 Skylark Convertible. I have gone through several options (some of them on here), like...

Hi, Over the winter, I hope to add some electrical components to my '64. Rather than try to tie into existing fuses, I am considering adding a 4 or 6 terminal distribution block with blade fuses under the dash. Being a good little paranoid, I am thinking of wiring the distribution block...

Have a '64 skylark convertible in decent shape, looking to purchase chassis and body manuals.. I see that Rock Auto has two versions one from 'Dave Graham" and the other from "Bishko".. Has anyone purchased one of these or can explain the difference? (I am not looking a the CD versions but the...

This probably sounds silly to some, but I can't decide what to do. I have a '64 skylark convertible that's almost all original and in pretty good shape overall. Runs and drives nicely, no rust and everything works... I want to preserve the originality, but want to add USB power ports to the...

Hi, I have a 1964 Skylark with the 300CI 2BBL engine. I am planning on painting the engine and engine bay over the winter. According to the 'reference' section here, that engine should be silver, but mine is NOT silver and it appears to the be original engine. Somewhat confused. Does...
