    Nothing wrong with a buick - I started out Poncho - same same. Didn't want to start over and BBC my GTO so I sold the GTO and built this with the 454 . Not actually from PA - NE Ohio - but many relatives central PA . Reunions and other trips. Beaver Springs has some fun street car events.

    As for your car - search and soak up the info -it will save you doing things over and over again.

    X2, you're on the right track reading up on what works and doesn't. I learned most of what I know about this stuff by reading build threads and such.

    I'll see what I can find. Car is away for winter. I swapped to a short wp and placed a vbelt pulley on rear of crabj pulley to drive alt, wp. I do not have PS. One of the few options the car didn't come with. My alt is on pass side and in a good loc.
