Distributor is 180* off? Timing chain installed correctly?

www.buickperformancegroup.com for more information! There is also an informal cruise-in on Thursday night.. http://www.bpgforums.com/showthread.php?t=5682 I KNOW there are tons of Ohio Buick people, so come out and enjoy the event! You do NOT have to be a member of the BPG to attend.

I thought at one point you were considering bringing something else... BTW, your former Centurion won a first place trophy yesterday at the Wentzville, MO GM plant show.

Sooo...whaddya bringin' to Columbus?

What kinds of options does it have? Power windows, locks, tilt wheel, cruise, 4bbl, pwr seat, radio?

Is the car still in NY?

Chris, I've seen it both ways. I don't think you'll get knocked if you leave the boot attached to the back of the seat.

Electramanbob here on the board owns that car.

Sometimes, a bit of tightening motion to the fastener will crack it loose. Or when you finally get it to turn out a bit, spray with more penetrating oil and tighten/loosen/tighten/loosen, until it finally works out.

Sounds like you need adjustable pushrods.

Isn't there one in Buick's collection? I believe i saw it in Batavia. It was a pristine car. Blue in color..

The 72 Centurion appears to have an Electra grille. The fenders are interchangeable, so it doesn't matter if they came off a LeSabre/Electra, etc. The fender emblems are in the correct spots.

Time to update!

I went to a local show today that I had attended last year. I took the 71 LeSabre last year and received a 3rd place trophy. I took the Centurion this year and got 2nd in my class. Bob Windal (70 GS 455) also took 2nd in his class. It rained a LOT!! I also have a show tomorrow. Hopefully, it won't rain like it did today. As you can see in the photo, it was still raining when we left.

I think 66 was the only red year.

Good to see things are rolling again.. <img src="http://forums.aaca.org/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" />

Have you taken the bolt out that hides under the oil filter?

I took the car for a spin this evening after a quick wash. I stopped by the neighbors' house and shot a few photos.

I fried the ignition module the other night when I was messing around with it. A new one from Jegs came today, along with new 8mm plug wires...so I'm back in business! To do: Torque convertor Shift Kit Governor recalibration Hang guages Buff paint Detail undercarriage Detail wheel wells There's not much to do with the trunk and interior except vacuum <img src="http://forums.aaca.org/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> First cruise this Satuday night!! ....if it doesn't rain.

Blown fusible links will cause this condition. I'm not familiar with that vintage Buick, but does anyone know if and where the fusible links are on this car?

yessir..

<img src="http://forums.aaca.org/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" /> It's alive!!!!!

I am under the impression that there are fusible links next to the starter.
