I have the origional build sheet for my 70, GS and was curious about the options section (107). There are approximately 50 items listed, but my car doesn't have many of them. Some of the options have asteriks next to them. Does anyone know if the items preceeded by asteriks indicate they are or...

I was hoping someone out there might be able to assist me. A friend was working on my car and had to drop the steering column. Unfortunately, he forgot to disconnect the small spring that connects the steering column shift collar to the shift selector arm under the speedo and now it's MIA! I...

I posted a question before (damned if I can find it!) regarding a small cannister mounted on the passengers side front corner of my 750 Rochester (right next to the fuel filter). After checking the chassis manual, it appears that it may be a throttle control solenoid. It has two wires going to...

Hi again everyone, I'm in the process of replacing the rear brake shoes, springs and wheel cylinders on my 1970, Buick, GS 455 and have a question. Does anyone have a good resource for an exploded view diagram of the rear brake assembly? More specifically, all the adjuster linkage, spring...

Hi guys, I was wondering if anyone out there knows what the depth is between the front door window glass (rolled down) and the surface (outside) of the interior door panel down low where a speaker would mount in the metal cutout area? I ask because my car is currently not here and I'm trying...

I just bought an HEI distributor made by DUI with the coil built into the cap. I'm looking to change out the factory distributor with it, but it appears that the stock dual-snorkel air cleaner (1970, GS 455) will intefere with it's installation. We've only been going by measurements in the...

Hi, I was shopping for a pair of Stage 1 heads for my 1970, GS 455. If anyone knows of a decent set at a reasonable price, please let me know. Thanks

Hi, I own a 70, GS 455 and have just replaced my 750 Rochester Q-jet carburetor with a rebuilt one. While changing it over, I was curious what the small cylindrical canister was that is bolted to the front/top mounting bolt to the intake manifold on the passengers side of the carb. It has a...

Does any one know if the top radiator mounting bracket from a 1972 350 Skylark will fit in a 1970 Skylark, GS 455? Thanks

Hi, I own a 70, 455 GS. Someone pulled up next to me today and asked if my engine was an HD or something else that I didn't hear. I told him it was the stock 455, no Stage 1 etc. I was unsure if there was any other rating etc. that would answer his question. Does anyone know if there are...

Hi, I own a 1970, GS 455 and am trying to locate the small, chrome, end caps (2) that go over the lower hinge post on the sides of the bench seat. They look like axle covers on most small lawn mower wheels etc. They are a pressed fitting and basically just cover the end of the hinge post...

Hi guys, I've been trying to solve some problems I inherited on a 1970, Buick GS 455 that I purchased a few months ago. It has a stock 455 with a TH-400. The pulleys and brackets for the A/C, alternator and power steering were all incorrect. I located some correct brackets for the...

I own a 1970, GS 455 and the A/C has not been charged or operational since I purchased it a few months ago. I'm getting ready to get it working, but someone told me that if the system hasn't been charged for a long time that you need to replace the dryer. He said that with no freon in the...

I own a 1970 GS 455 and have had a recent problem with my headlights flashing on and off. At first, it only did it on high beam. Then I tried some advice from some Buick members and replaced the headlight switch, the foot dimmer switch and the high beam bulbs and unfortunately it didn't do...

It may sound crazy, but I've been looking for an old fashion hump-mount cup holder/organizer. The kind that goes on the floor/hump in front of a bench seat with column shifter. I've looked everywhere in stores and on-line and can't find one. If anyone knows where to find one, could you please...
