Perfect. Thanks Joe

Does anyone know a good place to purchase Buick floor mats? Prices I'm finding online range anywhere from $50-300. Don't know who to trust

Has anyone ever installed component speakers in the kick panel around air vent. I would like to be able to hear music in my left ear instead of center of dash, with minimal changes to the factory look. Any pics would help me out allot.

Since I've been using higher grade fuel, the engine is quieter when climbing hills. I still haven't addressed AC issue as I have at least 6 months before I'll need it. I discovered water getting into my trunk, via back window lower trim, after washing it with a hose. Good thing it stays parked in garage. Looking to upgrade audio. Don't want to change the factory look, but would like new school bells and whistles tho. Any suggestions? Does anyone know if the 65 LeSabre had front speakers and if so, where?

Definitely will be tightening belt soon as I get time to lift the hood. What's a ballpark figure I can expect to fork out if I convert as you did?

Makes since. It's just that This sexy red slick body just looks like she supposed to be burning rubber. I'm a cruiser tho, so I'm ok with high torque low speed

I'll check temp when I get home next week. I noticed the AC clutch seizing then spinning continually when operating so I just leave off not wanting to mess things up

Just what I needed to hear. Thanks for the advice

Will a loose belt cause it to not blow cold? I feel air but doesn't get real cold

What made you decide to do head work on your Skylark? Will I be causing more harm if I wait till something starts messing up. Car drives pretty sweet as it is, but then again it's my first so no bench mark for comparison

Thanks EmTee. Do I have what is considered a "nailhead"?

That's a great suggestion EmTee I'll definitely try that when I get back home. Thanks John and yes it is a 4 bbl. I'm not interested in racing or anything remotely close. I just want to maximize my current set up and clean up engine bay, however, if 250 horses is the most I can get with this set up, I'm happy. Just don't want to leave any horses on the table if that makes any since

Hello all. My name is Steve and I'm new to this forum, new to Buick, and never owned a car older then myself (I'm 40). I just purchased a 1965 LeSabre 400. I bought it to cruise around on Sundays and go to some local classic car meets, but I would like a little more horse power then stock (about 250hp). I noticed a very small amount of oil on my garage floor. Anyone with knowledge and or experience with this motor can please share some insight. I really appreciate any and all input/suggestions.

I just purchased a 65 LeSabre. I've never owned a Buick let alone a vehicle older then me (40 years old). The car runs good with the exception of a few minor flaws that I found. Ac compressor makes a high pitch noise when I turn it on. I noticed the belt really loose so hopefully that's an easy fix. When accelerating up hill, I hear a little rattling under the hood, but goes away as soon as I'm done climbing. And I just seen a very small oil spot on garage floor. Other then that, engine is extremely quiet, transmission shifts really smoothly, and starts up on the dime. I would like more horse power without changing the look of the engine too much. Will it be worth the trouble of taking the engine out, send heads to machine shop, replace seals/gaskets, a cam, and EFI kit?
