What model years Regals have the Old's 307's and Chevy 305's? Was the 305 Canada only or was it used for the US as well?
Thanks.

My Dad had an 86 Regal with a 305 here in the states.

I was employed by a Buick dealer through the 80's. Never saw a single 305, all were the Olds 307. We did have the Chevy 305 for a while in the 70's. I worked in Pennsylvania, so I never saw a Canadian vehicle, or one with California emissions. It is possible that those variations could have had a SBC motor. Buick and Oldsmobile were subject to a large class-action lawsuit in the 70's over motors from Chevrolets being used in the "premium" Buick and Olds product, so the Buick brass weren't likely to tarnish their product image with a Chevy motor, given a choice.
