ooh... help... I just installed camshaft/crankshaft timing gears and am getting ready to start the car... Everything has gone well but...my parts inventory has a large brass looking nut left over. Almost the exact size and likeness to my wheel spindle nut.. but it is not.. my biggest fear is that I forgot to install the camshaft fastening nut/bolt. I forgot if I did or what it even looks like. Is the camshaft fastener a nut or bolt.. what size? Should I try to buy one at Buick to see if i made a mistake.. hate to try to start the car too until I resolve this. Thanks

the cam shaft fastener is a bolt. the nut your describing does not sound like it goes to your car, can you take a picture of it and upload it.
