Build a Better Buick (Nailhead) - article.

[BuickStreet]

Found a cool article (on the web at rod-o-rama.com) on Building a Better Buick (Nailhead) which was written by Jeff Tann which I've posted on Buickstreet.com as a service to all us Nailhead fans.

The pages are about 200kb so dial up users need a little patience but if anyone's interested in can be found here...

Tip:
To save it to your hard drive choose File --> Save as... --> Web page complete (in IE).

I tried to contact him (Jeff Tann) for permission but never received a response so I guess (hope) it's ok to publish it. I guess I'll find out one day. Until then...enjoy.

Awesome, Bill. But is there something wrong with the page links? I keep getting the first page on all of the links.

Oops!

I just made some changes and changed the wrong paragraph in the process. It'll be fixed in a few minutes....standby.

:o

[BuickStreet]

Fixed.

Do a hard refresh (shift+F5) to make sure that you pick up the new pages.

Why does nothing ever go smoothly...sigh. :puzzled:

Great, the only reason I went to the trouble was that I couldn't find that article anymore. It was originally on their site and then they removed it and now they've re-posted it but on different pages.

Oh well. I might save myself some bandwidth and just post a link back to the original article.

Hi Bill
I went back into my liabrary and found an old Hot Rod Magazine with a atricle about BLUEPRINTING THE BUICK 410/425.
April 1966 issue of Hot Rod Magazine. Several pages of how to do on the nailhead motors. This was in a 65 Skylark GS.

It's not this one is it?...

Called "Blueprinting Buicks for Action" written by Eric Dalquist?

Hi Bill
Yep the same one.
There is also another article in the same book " IT WON'T WORK"
It shows a picture of a Nailhead with fuel injection, 8 pretty chrome stacks, looks to be in a roadster.

I'm thinking of creating a page called Nailhead Alley which will have everything Nailhead related on it. Maybe I could use it. If you have a scanner and the inclination send it through to bill@buickstreet.com. Make sure it's large enough for me to reduce (about 1024 wide will be big enough).
