I have recently acquired a rare real deal 1966 Buick GS may even be a super wildcat because it comes with the original manifold with a dual carb Less than 200 ordered this way Less than 200 ordered this way No rust, CA car. Runs very very strong, every light and switch works outside the ac and radio. Recently drove it for three hours in traffic and purred the whole time . Tagged until next year, true driver ready to drive anywhere Jim Bell, president of Kenne Bell of Rancho Cucamonga, California, and an expert in high-performance Buick V-8s, is a big fan of the Switch-Pitch torque converter. "It gives you all the advantages of a high-stall torque converter with none of the disadvantages," he said.Like the regular Turbo Hydra-Matic 400, the Super Turbine 400 has a reputation for being bulletproof. Car and Driver, in a road test, referred to the Super Turbine as "without question, the best automatic transmission in the world." For 1966, all Rivieras had Buick's 12-inch Al-Fin aluminum drum brakes all around, with power assist standard. These were more resistant to fade than cars with iron drums, although Britain'sAutocar magazine was able to render the car brakeless after three panic stops. In 1967, Buick offered front discs with Bendix four-piston calipers as a $79 option. Just 6 percent of Riviera buyers chose the new brakesThe Riviera GS was equipped with the three-speed Super Turbine 400 automatic transmission, Buick's name for the Turbo Hydra-Matic 400, which came with a variable pitch torque converter for quicker launches. Recalibrated to allow shifts at higher rpm and featuring a reinforced valve body, the GS transmission wore a BS code on its identification tag. The variable-pitch stator, known by the name Switch-Pitch, was used by Cadillac and Oldsmobile as well between 1965 and 1967, and developed a following in the drag racing community. The Super Turbine 400 used in the 1964-1966 cars will bolt up only to nailheads, which used their own pattern. Adapters are available to mate a nailhead to a transmission with a Chevrolet bolt pattern. The easy way to identify a Switch-Pitch unit is by the horseshoe-shaped indentation in the pan, which is where the filter picks up the fluid.Jim Bell, president of Kenne Bell of Rancho Cucamonga, California, and an expert in high-performance Buick V-8s, is a big fan of the Switch-Pitch torque converter.
