buick roadmaster

i bought a buick roadmaster, lt1. good looking car for the price. needs a little TLC, not much, runs good. it's a tank, but it's a beast and i love it so far. it will make a great DD after i get done fixing it up.

anyhow, the suspension acts funny. i notice when i turn the wheel at a stop from lock to lock, the car lifts up on one side then rolls and ends up lifted on the other side. i was like WTF?

what's the deal?

ALSO how hard is it to change the optispark distributor on one of these suckers?

Blackhawk355 is an unknown quantity at this point
Re: buick roadmaster

Opti on that car is super easy compared to an F-body, just remove the water pump and boom, there it is. You'd probably have to remove the fans too but thats no biggie.
