  11. Hi everybody My Name is Bjoern and i Live in Denmark This is the story of my Buick i had the car in 8 years now ,it all started with i decided that i wanted to find my self a Buick, i had a 1955 Ford before but thats another story, i studied the books and decided that a 1952 Roadmaster 2 dr ht was just the car i wanted i always liked the late fourtys early fiftes , and importent the last year with straight eight,and many times i have regretet that choise i made, the parts for the straight is expensive and hard to find i contacted a person here in Denmark , who imported Cars from USA and tolled him that i wanted a car like that , and the answer was that is not an easy car to find, but he had knowledge of one here in Denmark , and it was for sale , but there was a thing about that car the engine dident work, because the owner had forgotten to put anti freeze liuqed on the car wen it was stored for the winter the engine block was cracked and useles but i bought the car anyway , how hard could it be to find a engine i joined the BCA and one day there was a add in the Bugle, NOS engine block for a 52 Roadmaster for sale,i bought that and had it shipped over here and for a couple of years i dident had the time or money to spend on the Buick ,small kids, building on the house /garage,busy at work i think most of you know what im talking about but a couple of years ago things started to ligtning up i had tim to work on the buick again , but it shouldent be easy , i found out that the crank and camshaft i had from the eksisting engine ,was in bad shape the cam was bended as a bow and the crank had rust on the bearing surfaces for a time i was looking for a complete running engine but i couldent find anything unless i wanted to buy a complete car and that wasent on the budget ,then one day i came in contact with a Buick owner i sweden and he tolled me that he had a spare engine from a 52 Roadmaster it hasent been driving for many years but it was complete but it wasent for sale, after 3 months me begging him to sell it to me he gave up, i think he got tired of me so i drove to sweden and brought home my engine so putting together the best pieces from these 3 engines made one complete engine i have been working on the car all winter and her sunday 30 januar i was ready to connect the battery a turn the starter on and finally it runs and it runs good i was out taking it for a little drive, the transmission worked fine and everything is okay, there is still a lot of work to do on that car, but the importent thing is the engine runs i hope you all enjoyed this little story even there is a lot of spelling mistakes Have a nice Buick day Best regards Bjoern Soegaard Nielsen Denmark http://www.roadmasters.dk/BSNI/Buick1.JPG http://www.roadmasters.dk/BSNI/Buick2.JPG http://www.roadmasters.dk/BSNI/Buick3.JPG
  12. to me it sounds like there is somthing wrong with your ground conections check that the engine is conected to the frame and that the conections are clean to metal and tightended also check the battery to frame (negative) is good , if you are unsure about the conditions of these conections you better make some new ones and rather one to many than one to little its important to clean old paint rust and dirt away to have a proper conection, good luck with it Bjoern
  13. i would look for a new headlight switch, it could be the problem if it happens every time you have been driving with the ligts on for a long time especially with the beam on or if the bulbs are stronger than the orgrignaly was, the curent could be to high for that old headlight switch Bjoern
  14. to Steve, i must say what a nice looking Roadmaster you got there ,i wish mine looked that great, Bjoern
  15. yes special and super came with the small 263 and roadmaster with the big 320 thanks for the offer but hope i got what i need now, on this side of the pond roadmaster engines isent found esaly ,and if you are looking for an exat year isent getting it easyer , what year is the car you are going to use it for Bjoern
