IHADAV8 Playground / Restored or Unrestored?

« on: November 21 2017, 08:47:28 PM »

What do you guys think, when it comes to vintage cars or motorcycles?

I think if it is a low milage well preserved than unrestored has it. But when you have something that is old and in need I personally don't think it is worth as much.

Like I had mentioned before about see a beat 68 Shelby GT500 that was pulled out of a barn. A coworker thought it was the best. But I honestly thought I would catch the hunta virus from it. It smelled very bad, mold a la grande!

Thoughts?

IHADAV8 Playground / It's snowing!!

« on: November 04 2017, 03:12:19 PM »

Ah, the joys of winter. At least I get my exercise by shoveling and I enjoy driving in the snow.

Anyone here have a snowmobile? Steve? A good way to herd goats. You can set it up as a grass dragger.

General Buick Tech / Intake gasket?

« on: July 26 2017, 11:20:23 AM »

I'm going to be putting together my motor soon. What is the best intake gasket to use? I always stick with the one piece but it's been a while, is there a preferred brand?

General Buick Tech / No Brakes!

« on: July 09 2017, 11:56:42 PM »

So my brakes went on my low milage car but I knew it was the pressure switch so I took it off my other car. My question is where can I get a new pressure switch from? Or do I have to go through someone like Kirban?

General Buick Tech / Comp 885 pre-load?

« on: June 12 2017, 10:09:27 AM »

Anyone no what pre-load would be best? I've heard anywhere from 0 to .020.

General Buick Tech / 4.1 Cam bearings?

« on: June 01 2017, 04:39:55 PM »

I was looking at my 4.1 and I see that the back cam bearing isn't grooved, still have to check the front one. My roller cam isn't grooved, so I believe my cam bearings need to be or at least the front one. Anyone know what bearings to use?

General Buick Tech / Spec on Earl's Pistons?

« on: June 01 2017, 11:13:33 AM »

Earl, what are the specs on your piston? Pin height, dome and all that fancy stuff?

General Buick Tech / Wider Bearings?

« on: May 14 2017, 12:27:57 PM »

Remember way back when we discussed this? So, what was the consensus? Is it more advantageous to go with a little wider bearings to help distribute the load?
