Ted, Welcome to the Cammer world! I have always thought these were interesting and cool engines. My current project is a 1933 Pontiac sport coupe - with a 1966 OHC-6. Enjoy your Sprint! Joe

Yes, sir; that is an original Buick frame component. You can see mine in the bottom right corner of this photo:

1980's era - GM high-back buckets, probably J car (Cavalier, J2000, etc) OR Camaro/Firebird.

If it cranks when you press the accelerator, the switch is working. Fuel in the carb doesn't necessarily mean there is fuel entering the cylinders. I would check compression first. Also check for clean, tight engine-to-body and engine-to-frame ground straps. Check spark plugs, plug gap, correct firing order. In my experience, the timing needs to be right at spec (5 degrees BTDC).

might be a 1915 Cadillac Model 51 sedan.

It will be great to have more brass and nickel cars this year. Will we be driving in together on Saginaw?

Yes, I closed out my Flickr account and am slowly re-linking the images. If you follow the thread, you'll be notified as I make updates. Joe

My 68 GTO

Decisions, decisions....

Looking awesome, Ron!

Your friends were wrong.... I have had MANY plated plastic parts restored by Vacuum Orna-Metal. Fantastic work and "good as new" results! https://vacuumorna-metal.com/content/restoration These are the dash panels they plated for my 1968 GTO.

@J Rod Welcome to the forums. What a GREAT car you've got there. I did not know that H&E made convertible conversions of those "C" body vehicles. I bet it's a great touring car.

The chassis number is stamped onto the top of the left front frame rail, just rearward of the front axle. There should also be an aluminum frame number plate riveted to the outboard side of the left frame rail in that same area. This picture shows the aluminum plate on my 1933 Pontiac frame.

Ruben, Your car is a 1934 Pontiac, not 1933. The hood side trim is 1934 only. Bloo is correct; a 1934 Pontiac should have a straight 8 engine. You will need to identify that engine before you can order any parts; it does not look like a Pontiac 6 cylinder.

The SPID label will be on the passenger side jamb of the tailgate. Open it like a door and look on the jamb adjacent to the passenger taillight. Yes, G80 is posi. V92 is the tow package.

MORE COW BELL!

I can't wait to see it "in person"!

Terry, I am so sorry for your loss. Joe

The paint on the needles loses it's reflective properties over time. Re-painting the needles might also help.

Yes, some clips were shared with other GM divisions, but most of them are unique to a particular vehicle. There are many "standard" clips that you might be able to use, so be sure to also look at the universal clip designs.

Great find, Adam!

Sebastien, I am just reading these updates from August; EXCELLENT work, as usual! However, there is one change I would suggest. That part at the back of the cigar lighter is a fuse. If you want to replace it, they are sometimes available on eBay and other places: https://www.ebay.com/itm/275939618090?var=0&mkevt=1&mkcid=1&mkrid=711-53200-19255-0&campid=5338590836&toolid=10044&customid=73f49c82957a1900ed82f9b3e33b9196 I chose to replace my failed fuse with an inline fuse so it is easier - and much cheaper - to replace. Sorry, I don't have any photos of what I did. I would definitely add a fuse to that circuit; the power feed is direct to the battery and a short circuit could damage your wiring or cause a fire.
