To the best of my knowledge, all parts are original or correct replacements. there doesn't appear to be any sort of conversion. The base of the...
I've got a 1952 Buick Special. The oil seals on my brake drums are grinding at the base of the spindle and marring them both up. I believe this...
That does help. I guess they won't work their way loose, it just seems sketchy that they would be only partly threaded into the head.
After all new valves, springs, guides ect., I'm reinstalling the head on my 52 Buick Special with the 263 straight 8. I reinstalled the studs that...
Sorry to hijack but... How rare/valuable are these trucks. Does anyone have any poduction numbers, specifically on the 38? I'm thinking about...
The machine shop isn't stroking me. They're not even supplying the parts. I'd be getting them myself from EGGE, so no profit for them. I'll check...
Motor swap is sort of a big deal for it, tranny and torq tube. It's a whole can of worms. As far as another head, it would need good valves as...
Grinding the valves won't cut it. It needs guides, seats, springs and new valves. The machine shop said the originals are too far gone. [IMG]
I didn't think you were saying that, I didn't mean that as a response to your post. I'm just saying that the car started running really poorly...
I just double checked and it wouldn't be quite a grand, but it would be around $700-$800. It pretty much needs the whole top end redone. 16 new...
I'm thinking about selling my 52 Buick Riveria to make room in the garage for a 38 Ford pickup project. It was a running driving car until I...
Even though I don't remember them so well, I spent more than one Halloween at a Cramps show. First one was in 1988. Damn. Goodbye caveman.
I'm sorry, you must have the HAMB confused with the HOMOPHOBE board.
I know about Finishline's and Sata's, but can anyone give any good or bad feedback on these Mac paint guns? Mac SG 1300 series....
You can get non contact thermometeres as cheap as 10 bucks at harbor freight, or you can get better ones at Sears or parts stores or the tool...
Buick also had two sizes, one size fits the smaller 248 and 263, and then there is the larger 320. If it's for the Buick, make sure you get it to...
Edmunds also made them for Buick straight eights.
Correct.
It doesn't seem like it's a warm up issue as much as it seems like something is sticking when it sits over night in the cold. When I start it up...
Full tune up about 6 months ago. Oil change about a month ago.
No heat riser, linkage intact, not sure of plug heat range.
It only happens in winter months when it's in the 40's or lower. The choke seems to be working fine. It seems like I have to get the rpm's up...
My daily driver is a 63 nova with a 283 transplant. When I start it on cold winter mornings it runs really rough. It doesn't seem like a fuel...
Here's a pic and a link to some more... http://public.fotki.com/Rikster/11_car_photos/customcars_i_like/custom_cars_from/ipi-simonaho-1950-b/
Welcome. What sort of diagrams are you looking for? I know they are adding more and more all the time over at Team Buick/Buicks.net......
Update... My alternator and voltage regulator checked out good and I'm runing the external 1.1 ohm resistor. When the voltage was fluctuating...
Another question, could high resistance in a set of bad plug wires have any effect like this?
AMEN TO THAT! I'm not an expert, but I'm not a moron either. However, I am starting to feel like one. I am definitly running the points to the...
It did smoke at first, but seems to be mellowing out. should it eventually run cooler to the touch? Anyone have any ideas where the voltage spikes...
