sebastienbuick Posted July 25, 2019 Author Share Posted July 25, 2019 Good evening, some news from the Buick. A colleague passed Saturday to give me a hand to finish the settings of ignitions / carburation. I put the Coolant, and made the levels of engine oil, gearbox and power steering. Then the colleague has started to set the ignition with the technique of "the bulb" (connected a bulb on the - of the battery and on the + of the coil, then turn the igniter head by hand until the light bulb comes on). Once done, we restart it and it does not go round. After almost 1h has set the ignition, test with the original coil, test the candle, ..., It is leaning on the carburetor. The last time I drove (20 meters) with, I ran out of gas, and I tried several times to start it when there was more gas. Since then, once refueled, it does not turn around at all. And we had to dismantle the carburetor and temporarily replace it with a box of candy ^^ Then we removed the carburetor 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Keep Your GM All GM Car" "PP" AIR CLEANER ...) The new sticker is big enough to cover the area on your air cleaner housing where the adhesive residue from the old sticker is visible in your photo above. I believe the "PP" is a code for the engine and car model. Different GM models used similar stickers with different 2-letter codes.
