Two words:  Turbo Swap.

Congrats.

Didn't think about it at first but I think the Olds 215 turbo set up will bolt on in place of the intake. The Olds and the Buick used the same heads I believe. :rock:

Well the petronics points replacement isn't performance so I hope you think about it for reliability at least. :D

think the Olds had one more head bolt per cylinder than the Buick, so it seems that one can go on the other, but, not vice versa...

Make the car a cruiser and get there in comfort-that's my thought when you have a wife that knows you.

A lot of broken parts does not make you a racer; it makes you a slow learner.
