Guest SLO Ken Posted March 23, 2006 Share Posted March 23, 2006 I only need to replace one piston, so I would like to find a NOS part. The casting on my broken piston says "BUICK 1173195" on one side, and "TP 30142" on the other. I know the 1173195 is a part number, but what are the other numbers? I know there are plenty of aftermarket sources out there, but I would really like to keep this as original (and inexpensive) as possible. Thanks.-Ken- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrbuick714 Posted March 24, 2006 Share Posted March 24, 2006 I probably could come up with near-new used ones Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest SLO Ken Posted March 27, 2006 Share Posted March 27, 2006 That would be great! I sent a PM with my email address. I look forward to hearing from you.-Ken- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrbuick714 Posted March 27, 2006 Share Posted March 27, 2006 The one number is the Buick casting number. The other could be a supplier number, Buick bought from 4 or more piston factories. I am guessing yours were Thompson Products. i have 4 with the right casting number. They are USED,but are definitely usable. A good machinist could "Knurlize" if necessary to get tight clearance. I will sell you one for $25,two for $40mall four for $60, In any case,,Plus postage. mrbuick714@webtv.net Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest SLO Ken Posted March 28, 2006 Share Posted March 28, 2006 Thanks for the info. I sent you an email from my Yahoo account with shipping details. Thanks again. -Ken- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest SLO Ken Posted April 3, 2006 Share Posted April 3, 2006 Mr. Buick,I haven't received a response from the email I sent you last week regarding the purchase of one of your extra pistons. I would like to buy one piston from you for $25 plus shipping. I am trying to put my engine back together and get it back on the road soon. Please let me know how you would like to work out payment details. Thanks again.-Ken-kenlof42@yahoo.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest SLO Ken Posted April 14, 2006 Share Posted April 14, 2006 I received the piston the other day, and put a check in the mail. Thanks again. I hope to have everything back together by the end of the month (if I can find time). -Ken- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
