    Hi, I am new to this forum. I own a 1972 Buick Skylark Custom Coupe with a 350 2BBL and automoatic transmission. I would love to know what people have done to theirs, and also does anyone here live in california near the Bay Area? I have seen like a light burnt umber skylark custom coupe with a vinyl top at a car show, but the owner was not there. was wondering if thats any of you.
    I look forward to learning all about my car!

    Welcome. I'm almost finished with the rebuild of my 72 350-4 motor. Lots of great advice on this board. Helped me tremendously, enjoy!

    Welcome from Florida!

    This is where I've learned what I know now about my Buick over the past couple years. Good, helpful folks here!

    Welcome from NY. My wife’s 72 GS350 only has 58k miles but power was anemic & it was burning oil. My friend Ken Nogaj is our local “go to” Buick engine guy. He’s done two 455’s for us with outstanding results. So we turned the 350 over to Kenny … We were hoping for 325 hp, it’s def making more than that now. While it’s nothing like our big blocks it does sound great, and it’ll smoke the tires till you let up. No embarrassment anymore leaving the cruise nights!

    I’ll attach the “recipe” he used, hope that helps! Good Luck with your car.
