Re: Need help.....
Have any of you ever checked the ohms of your injectors or replaced them all together? The GM fat body injectors are notorious for shorting coil circuits when warm. Well, have not played with the car at this time. But, I'll look into that when it gets warmer and I look at it. Thanks for the tip! Ca...

Re: Need help.....
Money, Thanks... Yeah, the GS is a "RARE ONE" Buick only made 13,861 GS in 1966...to Chey and Pontiac's 80,000+ SS Chevelle and GTO's and to top it off it's only 1 of 56 cars that came with the Factory/Dealer installed 2x4 setups! It's 1 of 4 still left on the road to be known! Cars/Truck...

Re: Need help.....
Money, The suspension was stock, they did not beef them up back then. But, when I reworked the car I upgrade the shocks, bigger front and rear swaybars, and boxed rear control arms to help it handle better.

Re: Need help.....
Yeah , the air cleaners are rare in themselves. Most gear heads lost it and as you said put on after market air cleaner. Lucky for me the car was all there. It just needed some bad TLC and got it off the first owner...a little old lady! Well, they make a GS/Wildcat (only year 66 ) and GS/Riviera's. ...

Re: Need help.....
Money, The Skylark GS was on the same body as the Chevelle and GTO in 1966...not like the smaller 80 and 90's car they did the GS in. The air cleaner....yes odd set up. Well, when I got the car way back when I picked it up as a beater car! ... for the street/strip 65 GTO and 66 442 I had was killing...

Re: Need help.....
Money, I did wet sand it....over 4 years ago! The car is showing sign of the poor GM paint job...it's chipping and peeling bad on the roof and trunk. So, I'm going to take her all apart and paint one part at a time at work, and then take the car to work and paint the Q-panels and roof. I have a coup...

Re: Need help.....
Time and other things getting in the way....I hear you on that. Looked at it the other day for a little....now the motor just revs up out of the blue and comes back down to idle. Maybe it's mad because I'm looking at new cars LOL!

Re: Need help.....
^^^ No, Im thinking a bent or stuck valve. And the PCM is trying to compensate for the dead cylinder....fuel and timing numbers all up/down on the scanner. Going to do a compression test next and find out .....sucks its the back side of the motor.
