1972 Buick Electra Walkabout (SOLD)
The Electra has been sold.
Sad to see it go but I had a good rapport with the new owner and believe it went to a good home.
Threw this together to show prospective buyers what's on offer. Off the cuff commentary and poor sound quality at times but I covered most of the things people are interested in seeing.
Quick stats:
1972 Buick Electra four door hard top (no center post)
Stock 455 cu in V8 TH400 auto
Upgraded fuel system from tank to manifold. Holley Sniper Quadrajet TB EFI with Holley Sniper Hyperspark ignition system. Fuel and timing controlled by the Sniper ECU.
Tanks Inc tank with in tank electric fuel pump. Earls Ultrapro fuel lines up and back. Regulator and inline filters.

1972 Buick Electra - Spring Startup
Просмотров 2293 года назад
Been a little over a month since the last winter warm up. I don't take the car out on nasty new England winter roads that are full of potholes and covered in salt. Between houses right now so it's spent the winter in a 10 x 20 storage unit. It just fits! Stock Buick 455 V8 fitted with a Holley Sniper Quadrajet throttle body EFi plus Hyperspark Ignition system. No choke, no pump priming. Foot of...

Big hunk of tree fell into the road and got dragged away by the DPW. No idea where they were taking it.

Social distancing with a spring jaunt in the Electra
Просмотров 944 года назад
Though there is still some road salt around the opportunity of a warm, sunny day to take the Electra for a spin was too good to pass up. Working from home for a couple weeks now so needed some fresh air and a 4 door hard top with all the windows down provides plenty of that!

It's that time of year! While I simply moved my car to continue clearing snow you may (or may not) be surprised at how many dipshoots head out onto the highway with a foot or more of snow on the roof.

An epic hike up Mt Adams in the White Mountains of New Hampshire on an incredibly windy and cold day. After summiting the clouds broke for the most amazing undercast below a crisp blue sky.
What's that sound???

I think I figured it out but for your enjoyment or puzzlement here is a two pass recording of the weird ignition on - pre start noise. After the ignition is turned on you hear the fuel pump getting up to pressure, a relay click and then the weird noise. The video was taken close to the fuel regulator and pre filter plumbing under the hood. It feeds a Holley Sniper Quadrajet EFI system on a Buic...
Sniper Quadrajet EFI Cold Start
Просмотров 1,3 тыс.5 лет назад
Cold start of the 1972 Buick Electra 455 fitted with a Holley Sniper Quadrajet EFI. Must remember to NOT use the throttle during starts. Interesting to see I reflexively twitched my foot though I did keep it off the pedal.
1972 Buick Electra Exhaust Options
Просмотров 3355 лет назад
Replaced the stock system with a Waldren Exhaust, stainless steel dual system manufactured to factory specs. Looking to convert to an EFI system and want to replace the gas tank with a new one but nobody makes a replacement for the 1972 Electra. The closest to it is wider and would not fit between the stock resonators. First mod was to replace the resonators with straight through pipe. Sounds '...

Replaced resonators with straight pipe and 3" chrome tips. Too noisy? Not fitting for this car?

What did she sell for? Watching the market and wanting to buy one....
Sold for $10k which didn't even cover what I spent on it but isn't that always the way? Hope you find a nice example. They are not common which is part of the appeal.
I see I'm not the only one with lifter tick LOL
what a beautiful car in a great color. Interior is superb. I wish you could get beautiful color interiors today
Thanks. I have to agree. Today seems to be, "You can have any color you like. As long as it's grey"
After reviewing the video I figured out why it took longer than usual to fire up. I was too intent on the commentary at the time to notice a low battery charge. A closer look and you can see the bottom right gauge shows less than 10V and though not readable the top yellow highlighted number on the Sniper is also indicating a low battery voltage. The battery is six plus years old and does not get a good workout being laid up all winter apart from a regular in garage warm up and never driven in bad weather. The disconnect does save it from parasitic drain from the clock and other items but it seems like time to replace it. Bob
WOW JUST MAGNIFICENT CLASSICE LOVE IT-NICE VIDEO REVIEW TOO
The Buick Electra 225 looks great with those wheels and as a four door sedan
Do you still have it ?
It is still available.
キャデラック嫌いのためのキャデラック
it sounds beautiful, I have one ruclips.net/video/icHsGAumCj8/видео.html. greetings
Nice where did you purchase that instrument cluster
It's a custom panel using Dakota Digital gauges.
@@BobAndrews That's nice
@@BobAndrews nice. How did you get them wired? Did you remove the old cluster?
@@wynwoodgordo The gauges are from Dakota Digital www.dakotadigital.com/ I removed the original speedometer and warning light panel and created a custom panel to mount the new gauges. They are digital and the control box is mounted behind the gauge cluster. The system comes with electronic sensors, including a speedo sensor that attaches directly to the stock cable port on the transmission.
@@BobAndrews you didn't have to tap into the turn signals or anything?
I have the same deck. How did you change to the Buick picture?? I’m going to need that when I get my Buick going!!
Hi Jon, I used the info in these two You Tube videos to get that done. ruclips.net/video/NX9yFUA_JqQ/видео.html ruclips.net/video/LRZV2Y-V_CI/видео.html Cheers! Bob
what size engine do you have? do you have factory exhaust manifolds? what brand resonators did you use?
This a stock Buick 455 with factory manifolds. Waldron exhaust manufactures stainless systems bent to factory specs. This video is with their 'Mild impostor' silencer and standard resonator. I had to swap out the resonators for Thrush Glasspacks when I installed a new tank during an upgrade to Holley Sniper EFi. Have a comparison video here: ruclips.net/video/dwBqRjsp08k/видео.html
Would you be able to provide plans on how its made/built?
I'm away most of the weekend but will put something up soon as I can.
Does this work?
Used to catch many mice in glue traps in the garage but after running a couple of the bright strobes went two winters without catching one. I still put glue traps at the entry points at the sides of garage doors which is where they can squeeze in. Mice are mostly nocturnal and very sensitive to bright light. The strobes worked for me. I have anotehr video showing more of the garage: ruclips.net/video/VmEiqAXVnho/видео.html
@@BobAndrews Having mice problems in my rv. Tried everything but strobes. Going to purchase some lights and try it out. Thank you for the help. Nice rides!
@@whitenas did it worked out ?
@@willstaxx0730 i wound up going the poison route. Little bait boxes placed all around the outside of the camper. Seams to have done the trick. No signs of activity in or outside the rv. The strobes i purchase went on my atv for safer snow plowing.
LOVE those Buick Grand Nationals! A legendary modern day classic!
Was the moron driving the gray Volkswagen Jetta?
Its just saying hello. if its not somthing that'll get worse i would definitly not fix this.
Sounds perfect! Does the 455 justice. What mufflers to you have on her?
I replaced the stock system with a 'mild impostor' stainless system from Waldron Exhaust. waldronexhaust.com/cart/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=61_31_365&products_id=3805 The reason I removed the resonators was to gain more clearance for a non stock gas tank replacement. I ended up putting on Thrush Glasspacks just to tone things down a little (still sounds good) but still provide clearance on the new tank. I posted another video comparing all three set ups. ruclips.net/video/dwBqRjsp08k/видео.html
I used to pay someone $100 a time to plow the driveway. This is much more fun!
Well I did go clear the neighbors yard and the blizzard kicked in so we quit for a while. Looks like more fun throwing snow for Sunday and Monday!
how did you save it in hd
Sounds pretty nasty, but still look like it was a great day out! Time to get back down in the trees! : )
