I have used Pertronix ignition in all of my Buicks now for the last 15 years and I have never had any problems with them. In fact, my cars run smoother, use less gas, and have a little more power. I would not hesitate to use Pertronix.

My 1955 Special leaks from the rear main seal and I have decided that buying motor oil and cleaning up my drip pan is a lot cheaper than pulling the engine and resealing it. The engine has 65,000 miles and has never been apart and it runs like a clock. I use 10W 30 conventional oil and was wonder if using synthetic oil would be better for this engine. I have heard that synthetic oil would cause it to leak more.
The bumper was plated about 5 years ago by the Best Chrome out of San Martin, CA and has been kept wrapped and in dry garage storage. I'll take some pictures this week. I'll pack and ship for cost. Steve
