During this model year many pollution controls were added to the Engines. Compression was lowered. engines had to accept leaded and unleaded gas. and spark timing was retarded (no vacuum advance in lower gears) while driving in lower gears to reduce emissions. For 1972. the base Buick Skylark used the 350 cubic inch V8 with the 2-barrel Rochester carburetor (now putting out 150 horsepower) as standard equipment. A new federally mandated system to calculate power was put into effect that year. and the actual engine performance was probably comparable but slightly lower because of pollution controls in the 1972 model year to the 230 hp (170 kW) that was listed for the previous year. The Skylark 350 now used a version of the same V8 engine as the base Skylark. but with a 4-barrel Rochester carburetor that generated 180 hp (130 kW). Skylark Customs were available with the same 350 cubic inch V8 engines available in the basic Skylark and the Skylark 350. The Custom had an upgraded interior and dash with some extra chrome. For the 1973 model year. the Buick Gran Sports. Skylarks. and Sport Wagons would all be replaced by the new mid-sized Buick Century. Since Centurys were available with Gran Sport trim. the Gran Sport name was once again reduced to being an option package. Back To Top
