  1. Yep, it's down for the night! I'm don't know what is wrong. The hosting service is going to get an earful if it's like this in the morning!!! Bob emailed me this afternoon about his difficulty using the registration form. Now the whole site is down. Patience.....patience....patience.....
  2. Bill, glad you're ok!! We'll get that buffed out in the parking lot in no time
  3. An off-throttle hesitation can be caused my MANY things. Typically, people will look at the accelerator pump, but I have never found that to be the problem myself. Things such as retarded timing, stretched timing chain, general tune-up issues can cause a stumble. Let us know what you find with the accel pump!

    Batavia #'s

    I am registration # 432... 5-600 maybe? The last national that was held there was a real hit. Can't wait!!
  5. That'd be great if you could check it out for me. Most of the time, the convertibles are the ones with all the bad dash bezels and interior pieces, since they are so sun-bleached. But there are exceptions Is the parade boot in good shape??
  6. Although I'm practically swimming in the Mississippi right now, I will be leaving on Tuesday morning EARLY.
  7. Yeah I remember seeing it now.. Looking for the same thing, are we? I would've bid on it, but I wasn't looking for one at the time. A couple chapter members gave me a good ribbing about my Olds steering wheel last night, so I thought I'd get my original one back on there before Batavia. The only thing is, it took me well over an hour to clean the GOOP off of it...that thing was covered in black tar-like stuff. And the center piece is toast from the Cali/Nevada sun.
  8. I need a good 3-spoke center for my deluxe wheel on my car. I would look for a completely new wheel, but the odds of finding a blue one in good shape are about as good as me finding another set of trunk lip molding SOOO, all Electras, Centurions, Rivieras, and Estate wagons came equipped with this wheel. All I need is the center plastic 3-spoke deal. Good woodgrain and good lettering is a MUST! I'm tired of all the grief I'm getting for having a 4-spoke Olds wheel on it. One of these days, I'll be able to afford a GSX wheel from Duane. That'll work just fine.... Picture of the wheel is attached.
  9. Nope, but it helps to know what model the headers are for, because TA Performance makes them specifically for your car. I wouldn't want to point you in the wrong direction. I also believe that Poston sells them too. www.taperformance.com www.postonbuick.com
  10. www.taperformance.com What year and model car? I can guesss it's a 69 Lark...
  11. What happened to all the Sticky Posts that were at the top of this forum??
  12. Bryan, cool about the 73!! Can't wait to get it in the registry... The top color is "Sandalwood". They are also offered in green, along with the standard white and black.

  14. Not a factory car, although it would've been cool!
  15. I now have a hard copy of the picture...thanks to eBay! I don't know why it scanned in with all the waves...I'll have to try again with another mode. But here it is!
  16. Hey Brian! Thanks for bringing this up I was able to squeeze in an update last night, since I was backed up a bit from the last couple weeks of work. I usually get them on the site within a week or so, but no guarantees!
  17. Berta, do you know what the cost for each entrant is for racing?
  18. Your wish is my command.. MJ, your "wheels1.jpg" never came through....could you send it again?
  19. I vote Edelbrock...although with a stock motor, all you're doing is lightening the front end with an aluminum intake. You might see some slight gains at the top end though.
  20. Larry, what is different from the 71 to the 72?
  21. I'll be running it in Batavia this year if Roberta has plans to get to a track in the area...which I believe is going to happen. I will then be driving to Salem, OH again for the BPG nationals in August. 14's here I come!
