    Marvins Engine

    Oops, maybe Marvins Apollo is a '74, sorry. :Dou:

    Question for the day. Can anyone tell me the one SNEAKY thing Marvin has done under the hood? You have to look very close.

    Heres a few shots of the suspension clean I have done. I am finding it difficult to shoot chrome with a flash camera. Someday I will get the GS on the ground again and I can use natural lighting. With these photos you can't hardly see all the chrome I have now.

    Sneaky thing

    I would say that one sneaky thing is that he used two sets of valve covers to build one taller set to clear the roller rockers. I know this because I have done several sets like it myself. What elese? Steve

    I can't find the sneaky thing but I do have a question. What is the black thing between the alternator and the distributor?

    Ron you mean this old thing :) thanks for the compliment. The car is all covered and put away so I don't get to see it as much or drive it :rant: so I will have to post another pic. Still looking for your info on how you stuffed that motor in the S-10 that really interests me.
    Thanks Again Rick

    Show and go

    Kevin - The last pic was the "go". Here is one from a show a few years back. I am next to Phil Dayen's pristine GS. I will need to scan some more action shots. Thanks for the compliments!

    Here are a few pictures of the Buick with my new camera. Just got the camera today and I am not used to it yet. I lost all my previous pictures when my computer crashed. Hope these show up. Rod

    Rick,
    I picked them up at my local Chevy dealer(Goodwrench).I found that they were a reasonable price.They handle well,balance great and the ride and handling are very good.They are/were the basic Goodyear Wingfoot radial line.They likely are available stateside as well unless they are discontinued.I got them 5 or 6 years ago.Shows how much I drive the car!

    Good to see someone from Ontario, I have not seen your Buick in my area (Barrie) but it looks awesome.
