We had a bunch of 'em, one of GM's greatest unsung, drive the wheels off cars!
Awesome w/ snow tires also tough mechanically but thin door bottoms/floors/inner fender shock mounts their worst problems here in the rust belt.
We used to retrofit HD Delco starters to them as the nosepieces fit w/ bracket notched for HD length also I remember one jumping the timing belt and roadside repair adding black tape to the idler pulley making it larger to offset stretched belt length and off to the races again!
Last was an '87 Acadian 5-Spd. Coupe Dad got from a Bingo winner for $5500, should've kept that one as it was Rust-Checked from new.
