Hey, everybody! I just bought a pristine 1974 LeSabre convertible with 13,000 miles. I don't even have it yet, but am super excited about getting it. It's been a while since I've had a Buick. I had a '68 Riviera about 10 years ago. I'm a confirmed car nut with a very eclectic collection. Primarily I like big cruisers and muscle cars. I'm sure once I have this beauty in my hands that I'll have some questions, but here's a pic of it for now.
WOW!! Welcome aboard Jon, that's a sweeeeet looking LeSabre I love the big Buick's also, my first was a '75 Lesabre convertible. Post more pics of it when yah can
I believe your car came with 210 hp from the factory (Vin 5th digit T). Put on dual exhaust and you should bump that to 230 hp.
Don’t worry about HP, that comes in at higher RPM that these cars don’t see. GMs big engines in the smog years still made a lot of torque off idle; that’s what gets these crates rolling. Larry’s power timing thread, along with a well set up qjet, free flowing exhaust, and maybe a looser torque converter all accentuate torque. Patrick
