  1. Is there input shaft seal missing? If your manual is like mine there is a circular cork seal they fits over the input shaft and seals the area between the shaft and throw out bearing support. Just a guess on yours. Mine leaked out of the front when the seal gave up. See the black in color seal around the shaft? Does your have a place for it?
  2. No ground and the circuit is open. It needs a ground for sure.
  3. The spring side of the seal goes towards the transmission. In this position it holds the transmission fluid in the transmission. When you reassemble use the guide pins as shown in the manual. I used bolts with the heads cut off. This really helps from buggering up the seal. Had to do a seal over again with being careless with reassembly.
  4. Gulp. Very tough to find/rebuild, etc. There are a lot of threads on this unit and what to look for as possible resolutions to your problem. I think switching over to a vacuum booster requires a lot of modifying.
  5. Looks like the knock sensor. This is not the problem. The link is in the wire harness at the starter.
  6. I'm not sure why you would do this. The starter circuit services other parts of the car. Have you located the fusible link and tested it? The rodent tenants are more then likely the cause of problem. All wiring needs to be checked for chew marks and open wires that are grounding out.
  7. The yellowish wire appears to be the link. A test light is recommended. It appears mice have created havoc under the hood.
  8. The battery itself could also be the issue. If the link is burned consider replacing the battery and both cables. Check the wires in the circuit for open insulation. Once you have it running again, use a trickle charger for long periods of sitting.
  9. Check the fusible link. Usually found by the starter. Probably the cause of your smoke. Starter could be an issue as well..
  10. It makes sense running that way for the first few minutes. Probably affords a better torque on each boat in on compromised.
  11. Nothing like hearing it come to life after extensive work in the guts.
  12. I would say lithium grease.
  13. I recall the odd/even fire. I did not know when the switch was made between the two. My 78 Regal was equipped with the V6. It was trouble free well past 100k miles. I also recall some trouble concerning a balanced running V6. Not sure if going odd to even played a part in a balanced running V6. Either way, the Buick V6 has become an engineering success.
  14. What type of valve slows the gas while in the bowl? In other words, is the gas just blowing by/threw the carb and returning to the tank? Something internal to the carb?
  15. Some use Pertronix with good success. I still use points with good success. At the end of the day it is up to you. However, as little I drive my Buicks my points should last to 2035. Maybe beyond.
  16. Looking for a rear lower shock mount. 60 Buick Electra.
