Hi guys, I just bought a '67 Riviera, and all I know about Buick engines is the straight-8. The 430 engine runs bad, and sounds like it's got a flat lobe. The car was just unloaded from a sea container (USA->Finland), and I could barely drive it home. In case the engine needs an overhaul, where should I look for parts (stock or performance)? What would you suggest to replace the stock points distributor? I've heard the oiling system is the Achilles' heel of this engine, but what is about, and what can be done to improve it?
