George Buick Riviera

This is what I have

I have one TH400 for sale, but from 72 - if I remember well. I must check the code/year to be sure... anyway it is not from 66. Will post info later.

Hi Jounik, just in case you would need it (hope that not...), I have complete and running 401 from 66 nailhead for sale. Poland is closer than US, shipping should not be so painful...

ahhhh - I see now - I've missed somehow that info :-)

And what was going on ?

How to not be stressed, if parking is not fitting .....

Rob, I've purchased the windshield for my Riviera 71 GS from Richard. The service and packing was perfect, and so the windshield. I was surprised, that even antenna for radio was integrated into the glass - just like in the original one. Not to mention blue color at the top of the windshield.

Thank you Bob !

Bob, If the engine coded TA (correct 71 Riv GS) is Stage 1 engine, should I use initial timing 10 deg. ? On the label under the hood, it is written 4 deg., but in a 71 book, for Stage 1 is 10 deg..... Of course there is no warranty that I have correct label under the hood - somebody could use repro label over the years. Any ideas which initial timing is correct ? EDIT: I was checking also the document: Buick 1971 Engineering Features and AMA Specs © GM Corp , on page 34 it looks like they named Stage 1 only for GS models, while for Riviera GS, something like "higher-powered version of 455". But no mention of Stage 1 in Riviera. Then 4 deg. of initial timing from my label, would be correct.....

Congratulations !

Maybe Leif would like to sell two for me ? Shipping from Sweden to Poland should be less expensive than from US to Poland....

Oh Boy - 66 or 67 is on my wish list .... :-) Congratulations and welcome !

love it ! :cool:

Welcome ! Any pictures ? We like pictures .

Like the color, greetings from Poland ;-)

Funny, this is real globalization .... I have here exactly the same tool .....

Don, thanks for the update and valuable information !

Sounds familiar for me

It will work, I must just check the time zones, before I will call:-) Today I'm in the business trip, so I will try the call next days, when I will be back home ...

Thanks Pete ! I think I will go your way with Pontiac new tank. Pete, do you remember which tank you used for conversion ? Link: gastanks.com Update: OK Pete, I've just read your post in another topic here: it is GM 34A http://forums.aaca.org/f177/source-65-rivi-gas-tank-307625.html#post910077

Are these gas tanks for 1960 Buick available as repro ?

Also noted it ..... very strange

Hello, WTB as in the topic - need rubber port, or whole programmer unit, but WITH THAT RUBBER. Rubber should be soft and not damaged, of course. I know I can bypass that port and connect vacuum lines directly to the unit, but I'm trying to keep my Riv as original as possible. Thank you
