    I finally got the Buick back on the road. idle issues, stalling, running horrible. Did a front engine rebuild, timing chain, oil pump, fuel eccentric, water pump, distributor and carb rebuild and tuning. So glad she is running great again. Made a video for all the folks who helped me on the forum and fellow shade tree mechanics.

    Plans to do the front suspension this winter. While working on the engine I got a good look at the tie rods, ball joints and drag link connections. Nothing wrong but they look a little long in the tooth. :TU:

    That was "Big Head Todd", but I get the reference...:Brow:

    Disclaimer: I, in no way, was insinuating that you had a "big head", Todd. :laugh::laugh: I wasn't sure if you (or how many others) would get it. I am a little (lot) warped. I do like their music.

    Have you had it out driving, Todd? Everything still functioning well?
