    1966 Electra spitting gas out the carb.... HEI Vacuum Advance tuning?

    I recently performed an HEI points conversion on my 1966 Electra, only with the help of you kind folks here, and at v8 buick! I got to the point where all is hooked up properly, but left to go south for vacation, so didnt have the chance to fully finish. I cranked it once and fired, yet ran very...

    Hei conversion on 1966 buick Electra HELP!

    I installed an HEI distributor the other day and had the motor at 10-12 degrees before TDC. As i went to drop the distributor in, the rotor would only come to rest either 1 notch before or after the #1 wire/plug. Is this correct due to the degree set? Any help would be great!

    Wildcat 1966 AC radiator

    Took it out of my car as former owner had dismantled the AC compressor and cut the hoses. Marked “free” because I have no idea if it’s value (TBD). And I do not know whether it is actually in working condition (can’t test). I am selling it as-is but I am also open to trade (starter?).

    1966 Wildcat Sedan -- starting on the journey

    Just bought this clean looking 1966 Wildcat. There is however a lot of work to be done, starting with the paint job -- a ugly pewter color over the original silver grey. First I'll need to treat rust spots to prevent further damages to the body (see below). Next? Add a right windshield wiper...

    New owner of a 1966 Wildcat sedan

    Hi -- I am in Eugene, OR. I just joined this group after buying a 1966 Wildcat 4-door sedan (yesterday). This is my first 'vintage' car, so, I went cheap for a start. Basically, the engine runs and the car drives, but --more or less-- everything else needs fixing, repairing or replacing. My...

    1966 LeSabre

    I haven't been on here for a while - health issues, anyhow I saw there there is a wanted post for 1966 Le Sabre letters for hood and trunk. There is a 66 on CL in Lincoln, Nebraska, USA for $600. It looked like the rear lettering at least was in fair condition - the car is very dusty in the...

    Ticking like a time bomb - 1966 340

    Just picked up this 1966 LeSabre 400, and the engine is ticking quite loudly. Engine seems to take throttle fine. 53000 orig miles, seems all original. Should I be looking at oil pump upgrades, or swapping out lifters (without new cam?) ?

    First timer question

    Hello, I just purchased a 1966 Skylark and the person that I got it from knew nothing about the engine. He said that he had a friend that was working on it (not in a good way) and when I got it she was not running. The past owner has had it for about 20 years and he was working on the body...

    1966 Buick Special

    I bite off a little more than i thought by buying this car. I have had it in storage outside for a year now. Before i bought it, I think it sat outside for about 3 years under a tree. The rust isn't too bad but i need to start working on before it's unworthy of my time and money. It has a 300...
