I recently got myself a nice looking black on black 1977 Buick Regal.
It is a 3.0 V6 odd firing engine at 56,000 miles.
The car drives nice and smooth, but when it sits idle under a load, it knocks and rattles.
I gave the car a full on tune up and oil change, plus I used engine and fuel treatments to clean out the carb and fuel system and free up sticky cylinders. Here it is two weeks after the tune up and she's still knocking rough at red lights and stop signs.
I think I should just get a crate engine to install. I cant afford to pay $3250 to switch over to a fully ready turn key even firing engine, so I think i'll just have to get a basic odd firing crate motor, which is just over $1000.
Anyone know a good reliable place I can get a 1977 fit V6 odd firing engine?
Also, the exterior needs some restoration.
Can anyone help me find a website or catalog that I can get 77 Regal rear quarter window trim, bumpers, bumper fill, weather and door seals??
Any help is greatly appreciated,
Thank you,
