Oh Yeah.. Almost forgot. Go with electronic ignition too! (Ignitor II) Get Rid of those points and condenser... you can then gap you plugs more too.:Brow: Hotter spark and more power! Not too much gap though, you'll burn up your wires. Gapped mine at .055" Just right!
Have the ignitionman convert your factory distributor to HEI for $175 & get an Accel coil for $30 and your good to go.:TU:
350 Went to the motor guy today he ground the valve seats what a difference it is. Heads are almost done dropped off the cam and bearings to him. He said he should have the pistons by friday.(man i'am jonesing to get it back):Brow: Jim
You won't be sorry having those valve seats ground. It sure is a big HP gain on those stock heads!:Brow:
Motor will be back to me in 1 week this shop is the best going to dyno it as well for me cant wait to see all the specs:Brow: Jim
Jim, You have received the best information you can get from all the guys who have done it before you. You get to know what works on these engines,if I could add my 2 cents worth, a few have mentioned it and I haven't seen you address it yet. While the engine is still apart and the parts are accesable,clean up and flow those heads,even if just a "pocket port".Good head work is one of the things that really wake up a Buick engine even the 350. Everything you're doing sounds good.Just don't overlook the potential of massaging the heads so they flow better. Don't get too anxious to get it back and then say I shoulda done this,I shoulda done that,I'm speaking from experience. I think we've all done it, better to do it right the first time than to do it again:Smarty: Good Luck with your project and keep us informed:TU:
