Got the motor back in the boat a while ago, and after hooking up a new return style fuel pressure regulator, the motor fired right up. Man, I love a blower idle  :good

AZKC, we'll really be making it down to Larry's next Saturday to drop the drive off. We'll be boatin' soon, time for a  :beer

The return valve will be mounted on the back of the seat once the interior is back in.

It's a 71 GS 455.  It looks like a '70 though because I switched bumpers. It's 1 of 680 Buick made that year with that motor.

Glad to hear its back running again, that RUUUMMMPPHH RUUUMMMPPHH idle is great to listen to isn't it. If you want we could throw the motor in the Blue Canoe
for a test run :p While your waiting for the drive  :good

You let me know whats up and I'll be there for that drink :drink
