The 65 Buick/LS/turbo is alive I finally got to the point where I could attempt to start this thing
(S475, 6.0, Stock48 cam) I always worry about oil pres and enough
water in the block to open the thermostat on these LS starts
I pack the oil pump with trans assemb. grease, seems to help, OP came
right up
I loaded the tune from my Procharged chevelle (Holley HP) it
seemed to like it, fired right up-I had to tweak the adjustment on the
TB to give more air, but got the IAC down to a good level-all the
vitals were good, a couple fuel seeps, bad ign. switch, etc, but
minor stuff-I ran a 4" down under the car, with a DynaTech 4"
muffler, was surprised how loud it was, of course in the garage makes
it worse-I was used to a Procharger, just winging it a little it is
less responsive, but I expected that-now I can repair the front fenders,
get the front end back on, and if the snow ever melts and the streets
dry I can take it for a spin

Its just a streetcar, but I might hit a track rental if I feel like I have it tuned safe-thought about putting a 6 pt bar in it, maybe later
the muffler is straight thru, with a divider down the center
Right now the muffler is just past the x mem, but I plan on putting it back further-not sure if it will fit, but going to try and make a 4" tailpipe, work my way back to the muffler
I made a short video of it running, but its to big and wont load here, and I am not that computer savy, lol
