I live In Westfield ,  Mass

[Can’t get started]

Rebuilt by a professional engine builder. When I picked up the engine he handed me the distributor. I lined up the yellow mark on the flywheel with the center of the opening on the housing where I believe is the line. I set the rotor to #1 plug and dropped in the distributor and then cranked the engine with nothing not even a pop. It has spark and getting gas. I set the points too.

Just take the head off. It's real easy taking the head off a 320. 

 

1. Go to the gym, start working on curls with free weights until you can do 150 pounds.

2. Work your way up to 250 on the clean and jerk, those muscles will be needed

3. Eat lots of high protein shakes for a few months

4. Then start working on your straight arm lifts. Once you get up to 150 or 200 pounds on those, you should be able to remove the head on a Buick 320

It’s not even a 320. If you read the post it’s a straight 8   263 cu. in.

I did not rebuild the engine. Engine was totally rebuilt. Same cam, crank was taken out and polished. New pistons, rings.main bearings.rod bearings, valves seats and guides. All cylinders have 120 compression except for #1. It has only 30 . But even though it still should fire, right? It does nothing no pop at all. Has spark and gas.
