[THANK YOU]

Likewise.....thanks very much for all the hard work.

 

 

[65 Electro Cruise inoperative]

My 65 does not have that option so I'm not a lot of help. But......I do have the service manual and could copy some pages for you as needed. It probably has a good trouble shooting section.

 

Good luck

[Old car heater]

Got one more good part to post.

 Old time heater. Marked Goodrich. Any idea of year?

 

thanks

[Can you charge my battery?]

This was with the parts I obtained also. It's an old battery charger. Any idea how old or who made it? Someone put a new cord on it and gave it a try.

 

[Thunder Bulb GE]

This was wrapped up and boxed with other parts I obtained when I bought my car this weekend. Is it just an old bulb or does it have any automotive significance?

The car I bought was a 1928 Willys Whippet Cabriolet.

The bulb is about 6" long and has a large mounting base. The background of the photos is a letter size paper to give you an idea of it's size.

 

Thanks for any info.

Try this one.

[NC pole barn]

I had fiber added to one of my shop floors years ago. A few weeks after the pour I took my torch and burned all the little hairs sticking up through the slab. Only took a few minutes and had peace of mind that the slab was a bit stronger.

[1947 Buick convertible Ez On convertible pad and top installation tips]

Here's a photo of a book that helped me. My Buick is nothing like your top though.

And of a photo of my finished top (2012) The local shop gave me an estimate of 1500 $. The materials cost me 1/3 that, so I figured I could put on 3 tops and break even.  Is your top vinyl or canvas? There was a lot of info about installing a top on the threads here. I took photos of my install to write an article for the Bugle, but I haven't completed the article yet. One of the many things on my to do list.

 

Good Luck

[1947 Buick convertible Ez On convertible pad and top installation tips]

Not sure if this will help you or not.

Photos show the book you might need and it's table of contents that list adjustments etc. I have an upholstery book that covers convertible tops as well as the service manual for 1965 Buicks that show the installation for mine. I'll look through it at see how far back it goes (after the thunderstorm passes through).

Great service and good price. Fast turnaround too.

[drive train shutter]

I had a problem similar to this on a different car. Turned out it was the cruise control unit had a short and was signaling the lock up torque converter. Happened very random and created a shudder and at other times would shut the engine down in less than a second.

Maybe pull the fuse or turn off cruise control and see if the situation changes.

 

Good luck

[Convertible rear tack strip, butyl or not?]

My '65 Buick did not have a butyl strip; My tack strip consists of 3 pieces that are bolted to the body.

Don't see any mention of it in my manual or in my upholstery book either.

 

Hope that helps.

[Survivor, New Muffler? Or the Rusty one with a hole in it]

The man that taught me most of what I know, told me to always do the job right the first time and never try and save money on two things.....Brakes and Exhaust.  Those two can kill you.

Flat tire - pull off the side of the road.

Won't start - get it towed. No big deal.

But your brakes and exhaust can kill you when you least expect it.

 

 

[Carter AFB Base eaten up]

After getting the base of my AFB filled and filed flat, I was told by many wise people on this site to sandwich the steel plate between 2 gaskets.

Haven't had any trouble the past 4 years. I've had the carb off twice to inspect, and all looks good.

 

 

[Taking my Knight engine apart]

Looking forward to seeing your photos.

Thanks for keeping us up to date.

I'm still looking for my Willys Knight retirement project car.

Have you tried www.autoacsolutions.com 1-877-542-8192 

I've purchased a few AC parts from him and was treated well.

He is out of Denton Texas. (I have no connection with his business.)

 

[Barrett True Arc Brake Shoe Radius Grinder]

Can you post a few photos of the machine?

Need to see if it is similar to the one I used. I don't have any written info but might be able to help in its adjustments.
