Soo...I guess I'm a Buick guy

Discussion in 'Wet behind the ears??' started by Daniel Mattson, Dec 12, 2019.

  1. Hello all, it dawned on me recently that I must be a Buick guy, my Grandfather had a 60' Electra 225 that I was in love with, my first car was a Riviera, I now own a 98 Riv, a 66 Lesabre and a 67 Riviera kind of fell into my lap recently. I was searching for parts for my 66 when I stumbled across this site. I'm in need of a front cover, timing gear cover, whatever you want to use as the official technical term for my 340, parts seem just a wee bit less available than for a small block Chevy lol. If anyone has what I need, a whole engine, pile of parts, a good lead, a few bread crumbs, I'd really appreciate it Thanks in advance. Daniel

    Since your LeSabre is a 66 can I assume the 340 you need a timing cover for is a 66?

    Glad to have you join us!

    You need to be really careful tho, once the word gets out that you are officially being recognized as a "Buick Guy" the Buick's will begin to multiply! They might even follow you home from the grocery store or gas station.
    It's an affliction most of here enjoy ;)

  14. Yes Sir, I split it attempting to extract a broken bolt.
     
  15. Funny, that's the long and short of what has happened and made me come to the realization that I am a Buick guy
