This was a cool surprise included with the car. I'm assuming this was Bob's shop coat from back in the day.

I thought all Buick engines had the distributor in the front, that must be later. Lean something every day, lol

Nah, it's good. The way it sits on the floor, the stick is spring loaded against the wall.

Luckily for me, the seller did most of the hard work after sitting all those years. I will share some photos the engine compartment clean up when I get to it. 👍
