Where can a person find an oil filter for a '36 Buick straight 8?
Also need a jack and would like to know where it is stored on a '36 Century 4dr. with side mounts. I'm a newbe at this old car stuff and need all the help I can get.
Thanks.

The oil filter is a tough one they were a throw away cannister that clamped on the engine side plate. I have heard of restorers putting a modern filter inside of this throw away. If the '60 series is like the '80 line the jack goes in the tool compartment under the front seat. On the front seat riser there should be clips to hold the jack handle, again under the front seat. Also I have an original '36 jack (with stop tongue) that is available. Send me a PM on it if you are interested. Bob

I'm interested in the jack. Do you have any photos? My email is mikepahl@suddenlink.net

32 Buick Registry ( Mac Blair) has oil filters for various models from 1928 through 1936. They are a correct exterior with an internal fitting to take a modern screw on canister filter. I am not sure that he has one for your exact needs. I don't have master parts books beyond 1933.

Acccording to leif's parts book page, Mac should have the needed filter as he lists a filter for 1931 thru 1036 Buick 80 and 90 series.
