    62 lesabre with odd compression readings. (50-60psi)

    Hello fellow Buick people! I recently purchased a 1962 lesabre with 80,000 miles. So far she runs ok and seems to have a lot of power going down the road but the compression test I did today stumped me. The highest reading I got out of all 8 cylinders was 60psi and it varied roughly from...

    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?).
