Can't wait. Leaving Sat. morning 4:30ish which should get me there with a big cup of coffee in time to watch the show cars enter the field around daybreak.
Very interested in your brake kit. Who did you get it from as I think my master cylinder will need to be replaced too if they offer a correct one. Is there a difference between manual and power brake setups with these kits? Need to do a little research on what else might be needed. Thanks Doug
Welcome to the wonderful world of "Nailheads" Sounds like you have found a real jem. Post a pic when you can. To answer your question about the pushrods yes they are a modified version. Stock will have no adjuster nuts on them. Glad to hear your Pertronix unit it working well. Some of us love em others do not. You may want to carry an emergency set of replacement points with you just in case of unit failure.

There's a short block motor in Fremont I would love to have hauled back East. </div></div> Well I've been informed that I'm second in line for this shortblock. Can't imagine #1 passing up such a great deal.
I have only seen one of the panels for around the rear tail lights. You could buy another car cheaper. Get a parts car, make them yourself or have them made. Chevy parts are NOT the same. Don't we just love our Buicks
I was impressed with the number of cars on the show field and in the car corral. My passion is Buicks and there were plenty to look at. Had a good day even in the pouring rain. I looked to see if there was a DF meeting by around 1:ish but had to use the facilities so wouldn't have stayed long anyway. A HUGE thanks to Steve M. & his staff for helping me with my parts dilema. A real classy guy. Doug U.
300 BUCKS Jeff you stole it. That would be a good price for a set of Buick aluminum valve covers today. If you run across that kind of deal again don't pass it up. Best of luck to you! Doug "I need a 425 too"
