Dandy Dave Posted July 4, 2014 Share Posted July 4, 2014 Saw this on eBay.... Thought someone here may need it.

Terry Wiegand Posted July 5, 2014 Share Posted July 5, 2014 Dave, thank you for bringing this to the pre-war Buick enthusiasts' attention. However, the ebay seller has this identified wrong. It is NOT for a 1916/1917 D-40 series or 1916 D-50 series Buick. In the photo it shows a #75 identifying model number. The D-40's series Buicks used a model #70 starter/generator unit in 1916/1917. The 1916 D-50's series Buicks used a #69 starter/generator unit. The one photo shows the distributor cam as having 6 lobes so it is obviously for a 6-cylinder engine of a little later vintage.Terry WiegandSouth Hutchinson, Kansas America Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dandy Dave Posted July 5, 2014 Author Share Posted July 5, 2014 (edited) OK, Agree from the info that it is not Buick. I do know how tough the right ones are to find. Not sure my books are new enough to cover the model number. Dig, dig...dig.... Ahhhh Yessss. A model 75 fits a 1916 Oldsmobile Model 43. I will let the seller know. Dandy Dave!

Dandy Dave Posted July 5, 2014 Author Share Posted July 5, 2014 Yup. My Delco Book stops at 1916. If it was newer, I would not have had the number list. Dandy Dave! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
