  1. Too bad you don't want a 73 Centurion convertible. It's currently my daily driver and it's for sale. Has some rust.
  2. The fuel pump on this thing just has an o-ring on the shaft that goes into the block. No gasket. These things leaked oil from everywhere. Valve cover gaskets, intake gaskets, distributor o-ring, rear main etc. Check around the distributor. As far as the power steering, there should be a nut on the back side that slides, the bolt at the top that slides, and the bottom bolt where the thing pivots, if I remember correctly.

    Delco 44S'

    I would recommend the R44S. These are common. We stock them at our garage, so they are a current plug, readily available and they'll cut down on radio interference.
  4. Let's see, that means my rusty 73 ought to be worth about $4500!!! It's light blue with two red doors! That makes it a one-of-a-kind collectible, RIGHT??
  5. This was my first time and just loved it. My only complaint was we need more vendors of 88 parts!! I just can't help it. I love my 66 Dynamic convertible, but it needs a few items to be nice. Thanks for a great time. Met some wonderful people there.
  6. I have a 73 Centurion convertible that will soon be up for sale, unfortunately. It needs some work as far as body rust and floors are concerned, but it runs great (as a Buick 350 should!) It's mostly primer right now, but there is enough there to make a fairly nice cruiser. Reasonable offers entertained. I have replaced the carb (incorrect), fuel tank, radiator, all brake and fuel lines, calipers, wheel cylinders. Turbo 350 was rebuilt a couple months ago. Currently it's a reliable daily driver. Top and dash are good, have parade boot. All there but the chrome is all pitted, front seats ripped. Everything but the top works, but I'm working on getting a relay for it.
  7. Sometimes you can clean the little resister-looking thing (technical term) inside the MAF with brakekleen and achieve similar results without spending the cash. They get dirty in normal driving, but I suspect there may be more stuff in the air at the track??!! This would account for your decreased times each time. I suspect you will see a similar problem from the new one over time as it gets dirty again. A P0336 Crank sensor code probably means you have a cracked one, or it shook loose, or the crank sensor or PCM was replaced without relearning the PCM. Is the SES light on still? Try letting the engine idle until the light flashes, or if it doesn't flash, raise the idle to 3000 and hold it. The light should start to flash and then go out after 30 seconds (if you no longer have misfires).
  8. You haven't said if you tried to adjust the mixture screws on this carb. Are there still plugs over the mixture screws? Usually with a code 54, if the mc solenoid is good, the carb needs adjusting.
  9. Seems familiar, possibly 72ish 98 wheel covers?
  10. I'm trying to figure out a place to keep a third convertible!!! I just bought a 66 Dynamic 88 last weekend. I want the 61, but I have to find a place for it.
  11. I sent you an email about the '66. I just bought a Dynamic convertible. I don't even know yet what I need!
  12. I just ran into this exact problem. I bought a 66 Dynamic 88 convertible over the weekend. It has 235/75R 15's on it. No wonder the speedo is off. I know it takes 8.55/14, but I can't figure out what that is in the metric size. I guess we are all talking about the same size tire here? I looked at 225/70R 14's yesterday. Maybe that's the best fit?
  13. Hey if you find two sets let me know!! I have a 73 Centurion convert. I need floor pans for too. It's a Michigan car. They're SUPPOSED to rust out! !
  14. You might try www.convertibleparts.com
  15. Right on Reatta Man! You took the words right out of my mouth. I couldn't have said it better!! It's just like the old commercial, "You can pay me now, or you can pay me later." Steve
