Hi Chris, From previous experience mate I’ve found it’s best to snatch the bolts rather that slowly increasing pressure when undoing the bolts there’s more chance of them snapping undoing them slowly! Some people advise slightly tightening first? But never I’ve found any benefit mate.. hope this helps. Let us know how things go. Go luck. Scuff...

Hi, Thank you guys for taking the time to reply and for your valuable information. My Electra 225 was a 1966. The guy I bought this Riviera from is not the person who done all the work to it, the owner before had. It’s also had a 3 speed auto box with B&M shifter and a (LSD) limited slip diff. I think any work to increase hp has been done to engine internally. The guy had run it on a 1/4 mile drag strip (not that I wanted to hear that) my views are an old lady needs to be treated with respect! I must admit it fly’s when I need it..lol.. Anyway guys your time and information is very much appreciated!.. Scuff..

Thank you so much.. your information is very much appreciated... scuff..

Hello Guys. Hope someone can help, I’m from the UK and I’ve just purchased a Riviera (custom) not standard unfortunately, previously I owned an Electra 225 but this Riviera is a bit of a mix up. What I’m looking for is details on spark plug gap settings, and what oil is probably best for me to use? Plus an advise you can give me. The car as I say is customised and is fitted with a 7.0L big block (400bhp) that’s all I know,? not having anyone to help me this is a bit of a mine field for me. I’m slowly finding my way around the car and it’s alterations, when you’ve stopped scratching your heads at the small amount of information I’ve given I would really appreciate any knowledge you share with me. Thank you guys. Scuff.
