We had a Skyhawk wagon equivalent of the Cavalier and we liked the car a lot. Easy to drive, maneuver, good fuel economy, and could handle a lot of stuff that a newly wed couple needed to haul to set up a home.

Maybe to protect the brass?

No to printing a gear or no on a Weston-Mott axle or both? I agree on printing a gear.

Does the Dort have a Weston-Mott axle?

If you have spark & fuel, then I would do a compression test. Might have a valve sticking. Just a thought.

I also paint mark all of my batteries when I get them to see how long they last.

Go to Acme Gear near Mt. Clements, Mi. They have made gears for me. https://acmegearco.com

We are fortunate to have a truck and trailer so we take our brass cars touring regularly. We scheduled seven tours this summer in different places in the eastern US. Had to replace the tires on one of our cars last year because wore them out. Replaced a couple of tires on the Buick truck a few years ago because we wore them out, and tires are no longer a "cheap date" if it ever was. We have no boats, airplanes, motorcycles, snowmobiles, four wheelers, go to professional sports games, etc....... Just a few cars as the hobby not including the maintenance on the house. Driving as much as you can is the true enjoyment of owning a Brass era car. IMO.

Until you get the money out of policing, police will not be respected. Most individuals contact with police are with traffic stops and usually not pleasant. Money is totally corrupting. Look at Washington and your individual jurisdictions. Instead of money for traffic infractions, make community service the "fine". It would allow individuals to contribute to the community and give them a tie in to the community.

Not an issue

Can you post a picture?

We own an '84 gas Westfalia camper and my personal taste is original, original, original. As said earlier in this discussion, customizations are to an owners preference so I would not bother to do anything. Super clean it and polish it and then sell it. As for coming to the US to sell, the diesels were not that well received because they were considered underpowered and basically could not get out of their own way. I have heard of a number of them being switched to gas or even Subaru engines to get more power and reliability. Campers have the real value and the people haulers not so much. Just my thoughts and we have owned our bus for about 35 years.

My first guess would be silicone contamination, not outgassing.

They are fairly plentiful. I have one or two out in the garage somewhere when I bought a box of wrenches.

I would say manual thermostat for summer/winter change over.

I will be at the HCCA tent at 10:00 on Wednesday with the rest of the Brass Buick group.

It is all about the money! If you want to talk about safety, safety is about #879 on the list of 1,000 items with money being #1.

The axle is still available. Let me know if you are interested.

Terry, Your collection is awesome.

Cute

Short answer, yes along with the diameter of the pipes/hoses. More 90deg turns, smaller diameter pipe/hoses the less available air at the nozzle compared to the air pressure at the compressor.

There are some good shops in the US, but that might be a shipping issue for you. How far are you willing to take/ship the engine? I live in Michigan and take my antique engine work to a shop in Ohio. Also the good shops have long wait lists and up to one year time is more often the time frame. As for not Barrett Jackson price, you can generally estimate the price to be at least US$1,000.00/ cylinder. Might be less or more depending on the condition of the engine.
