it's been a while yes i know, but it's like this, i don't like talking too much about my ideas. biggest reason is the why questions i get. i've been buisy with my buick ideas. i don't like carbs. i don't like automatics, and i don't like rwd.... by it's self. i drive a van that is awd, i know...

sorry it's been a while. i had some unexpected delays in my project. mainly money. i'm from the have not family.... untill 10 days from now. got some more bad news though. it looks like this build will not be in this forum. right now there is no forum that this car could belong to. i'm not so...

i'm in the trenches right now for my 1980 regal project. i'm done my little brainstorm and now it's down to a money thing and time thing... time to wait. the payoff will be well worth it, though many of you guys might not see eye to eye with my ideas, but in true 0-90 dan fashion, it will be...

grinders and me...... not the best of friends. it is the most avoided tool in my shop. Arizona?? i think i saw that yard on a show. i bet they are the same. can't think of the name..... desert car kings, thats the show.

yes. but i just splurged on new water heater. then the old gas mower bit me... i needed a bandaid. so i had to replace that as well. it never ends eh. i'm not whining, just sayin.... that !@#$%^& hurt the wallet, and my thumb!!!!!!!!!!! sorry, no blade action just the severe beating an...

i wonder what the shipping would be....lol but i am interested. do you have a bonet for the intake tube? i'm missing that lil piece too

Hi Charlie. the base x2 that i have appear to look like the one on the bottom. the rebuild kit is for the 4M selection. i see the mod, thanks. i havn't found the depth, but as long as i don't nik the vally infront of the original power valve hole i should be fine. again thanks.

thanks, my wife would kill me if i bring another car home. but that really isn't a bad idea.... thanks for that nudge, now i'm dead. really dead. oh and the wheels aren't mine. they are my bros', he will never sell them. he had them on his 71 cutlass. as for what will happen with this...

im good at finding stuff, around here though, any carb car is getting scarce. i'll talk to a buddy of mine, but he is a jeep guy. i'll bet though Charlie, i have the answer in my shop. i just haven't found it yet. i have read through all the stickies, but i havn't read about how to identify by...

the one i need isn't the one i have, and i can't change that. either i find the correct carb (not so easy) or look harder at this carb for mods. at this point, i have yet to tune a carb on a car, so the more reading i'm doing, the more confused i'm getting. if all it is is boost reference to...

comparing base plates and bodies isn't that easy when you don't know a thing about carbs. i know from the pics that i was given an n/a carb. the kid probly tried it. i have no doubt that this carb was on this engine. just one more reason it didn't work as he planned. the power valve needs to be...

Me.... overthink????? well i never....... had a situation that required simple thoughts. i'm told that i'm the master overthought..... sometimes overseeing is a problem too... lol the cart always ends up before the horse when there's an engine involved. good thing at this stage, they are just...

thanks for that Charlie. the heads are definetly a keeper. too bad the engine has a 2bbl manifold.

so after cleaning all the major parts with an exception to one just right nasty timing cover,( man, yuk!)............. i nailed down the year of the other engine...... 25518445 heads. with a bit of port matching the heads to the intake, i think they will do just nice with the 78 intake. if i add...

to me turbocharging means intercooling. no point imo if it's not. the danger of detonation is great with regards to hot air cars. something buick thought of later.
