Yeah, I have a 67 Skylark and I put a 350 in it, 2 barrel carb. It starts up good, idles good and the timing is right but when I press the gas fast, it cuts off, especially in gear. I'm thinking it is a vacuum problem. Thanks

Yeah, I'm rebuilding a 350 small block Buick engine and it has a hole on each side of the cam shaft. I'm wondering if these holes should be plugged or open. Thanks for your time!

I have a 1967 Buick Skylark. I'm in the process of changing my engine from a 300 to a 430 engine. The standard radiator that came with the 300 engine overheats. I'm just wondering what size to use. If anyone can find one at a decent price or has one that fits, please let me know! Thanks!

I'm wondering what could be the cause. It blows a fuse even when I unplug the compressor. It basically blows a fuse every time I turn the fan motor on with the compressor unplugged. I think the fan motor is good and I checked a lot of the basic stuff I believe. I have a 67 Skylark. Thanks.

Does anyone know how to get my automatic transmission indicator light to light up the indicator for Park / Neutral / Reverse / L2 on my dashboard for my 1967 Skylark? I don't understand how my light is supposed to go through the metal to show it, maybe it's just a bad design? It's not and...

Does anyone know what the diameter of the down pipe is that connects to the exhaust manifold for a 455? I bought a down pipe with a 2.5" diameter and it seems like I'm having a hard time fitting it and getting it not to leak. Not sure why. Is there some sort of reducer or inlet that should...

Hi, I have been looking for some exhaust cones for a 455 engine, my dad said they used to make them but not sure if they still do. I have not been able to find them anywhere on the net, maybe they have a different name? They are shaped like half of an egg and fit into the heat riser. If...

Does anyone know how to check the ignition wire voltage on both sides of the bulkhead connector in my 1967 Buick Skylark? The resistor wire is burning hot and it's not letting the alternator charge the battery like it should. I have a new alternator, but it won't charge the battery, it only gets...

I am restoring my 67 Skylark, upgrading from a 300 to a 455 engine. Does anyone know where I can find some frame pads that fit a 455 Skylark? Or even if anyone has any, I would be glad to see. I looked at TA Performance, but I think it needs modification and re-drilling the holes...

I am a Buick lover. I have two 70 Electras, and I just recently bought a 67 Skylark. I have changed the battery, alternator, and voltage regulator. The problem is, after driving for 2 or 3 hours, the battery runs down, although all the circuits are working and do not blow fuses. I can run my...

Hi, I am restoring a 67 Skylark. Does anyone know a size of wheel that would be compatible with the bolt diameter of a 14" wheel but in a 15"? Would it be like 205 or 215 in the rally wheels? Thank you.
