chistech Posted May 10, 2021 Share Posted May 10, 2021 Been helping my brother with a 67’ cutlass which is very similar to your Buick. It’s a street/strip car and he’s running a basically stock 455 with a th400, and a custom 9” to Olds converted rear. It’s running 12.5s currently but he’s expecting a tenth or two faster in the future. I helped him replace all the body mounts, put in a driveshaft loop, install his motor/trans, and last night just put a new headliner in. It’s in primer currently with it already jammed in color. Some additional wet sanding and priming then it will be ready for color. Your project is looking great. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpeedyBuick Posted May 28, 2021 Author Share Posted May 28, 2021 Carburetor is finished. since this is a stock appearing type deal the only acceptable Carburetor is a Quadrajet. I sent this one off and had it completely redone and calibrated for the engine combination. there's something unusual about it. see if you can figure out what it is.

Ted, it's a 1972 800 cfm Q-jet with a 67 throttle linkage arm grafted to the 72 shaft Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drhach Posted January 23, 2023 Share Posted January 23, 2023 I see you opted for the 455. Fantastic work. It's going to be a shame to drive it and get it dirty. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
