Blowthrough build repeat.
Dangit! Soo much getting in the way of getting the car back out. This is the longest it has been off the road. I have been able to drive the 3.8 swapped Impulse to get the Buick 6 noise and feel fix, but it's all motor. One of my newer daily drivers ('11 BMW X5 35D) helps get the boost fix and...- WarWagon

435 casting block
Went back to this engine and pulled the oil pan and distributor cap. Definitely an oddfire and built/balanced. I left it and the TH400 there I have no immediate need for either.- WarWagon

435 casting block
Found it, I was looking in the wrong years. This is a 64-67 225CI block, it has points distributor but looks like a even fire cap. I need to go back and look deeper with tools.- WarWagon

The block is the early style '77-79 but ends in casting number 435. Im not familiar. This is an old...- WarWagon

Carburetor Suggestions for Turbo 231?
Definitely look into J&S Safeguard to handle ignition. There's an older version of a holley carb that has spread bore already if you wanted to go that route without adapters for hood clearance.- WarWagon

88 Ranger STX 4x4 Draw thru 4bbl carbed Build: planning stage...
Either distributor will work, I believe the vacuum version is best. The '85 distributor will have no mechanical advance and smaller gauge wiring for 7 pin HEI module. -

I want to advertise a product right here. This is a perfect time to install a J&S safeguard. http://www.jandssafeguard.com/ The owner John is on this site. This unit will be your best version of anything you can wire into your vacuum distributor. I run one of these amd they are fast easy to... -

Of course as a bonus they say Smokey Yunick on them too. I haven't had my hands on a Offy intake yet but I know the 4.1 4bbl intake has the smallest plenum area.- WarWagon

Yes, it's worth $$$ Those were the first aftermarket airgap intakes available, Buick V6 front runner on that.

Blowthrough build repeat.
I made a lot of life changes last/this year that kept me from the Buick but back on this project. Last year I just street drove this car a lot and made one hit at the Flashlight Drags in July that hurt the engine. The one time I brought a timing light with me to this event and I didn't put it on...- WarWagon
