Hello All. I am looking at a 1969 Electra 225. Vin is 482699h284334. Car has 99k miles and is in very good condition. I am having a little difficulty ID'ing the motor. All Buicks I have owned have been 350 or 455's.....this one looks a little different than those, I think it is a 430. The car is in a rural area and I should have taken pictures. Is there any production info on motors for 69 Electras on the web? Thanks
Thanks! I was able to id it by the #on the rochester carb. Did Buick put anything other than a 430 in the "69 Electra? By the way I am picking up this car tomorrow. It looks like a decent survivor. Body and interior are very good even dash has no cracks. No rust.
In 69 the only engine option for a 6000, 8000 or 9000 series was the 430. An Electra is a 8000 series car. The 455s were not introduced into the Buick line until the 70 model year.
