Good News for you. 1968 Electra, Wildcat, and LeSabre convertible all take the same door. Hollander # 2041C If you need any more info, let me know. good luck with the restoration.

How is your rebuilding adventure going? Just curious how the project is coming along and wishing you good luck. There is a great article on the Jan-March "Starter" (WOKR) magazine on sleeve rods and how to run them in. Don't miss reading it. Bill

Congrats. Sound like a great find. good luck Bill

Here's what worked for me. Open the attachment to view it. On the bottom right corner of the chart is a SAVE and a CLOSE button. Click on the save button and the chart opens in a new tab. Right click the newly opened chart and one of your choices is "save image as". This will let you save the image to where ever you like on your computer. Hope this helps. Bill

Looking for the plastic blower motor resister plug or a piece of the wiring harness that would include this connection. Please see attached photo 1965 Buick Electra 225 401CID thanks Bill

You'll need an adapter plate to mount the caliper and use rotors from a 1/2 ton GMC and calipers from an early Cadillac. Look at the link below for details. https://scarebird.com/index.php?route=product/product&path=59&product_id=60 I used this setup on my 65 Electra with the rotors and calipers they recommended. I had to machine the hub on the rotors .060 to allow the wheels to fit. Scarebirds had good techincal support and everything worked fine. The next owner can re-install the drum setup if they like. Nothing is permanently changed. You cannot just take disc brakes from a later model Buick and bolt them on. I would not hesitate to do the conversion again. Good Luck

I drove my '65 Electra in HS and college and got 10 MPG consistently. The gas gauge never worked so I filled up the tank every 250 miles. (Those were the days of having a 25 gallon tank.) I never ran out of gas and only once in 6 years did I fill up the tank and find it only took 4 or 5 gallons. That sure was a shock when I figured it would be close to empty. I worked in NY for a few summers and I think I was getting 14+ on route 80. I had a super heavy duty spring on the gas pedal and a vacuum gauge to watch. Now that it's mostly restored, with a new (not rebuilt) engine I'm still getting about 10 - 12 mpg. I ditched the heavy duty spring and the vacuum gauge sits on the shelf. Now it's all about the fun of driving it. Next step - get the AC working so that the gas mileage can be lower. Bill

Here's some more photos of the meet. Hope you enjoy them ThanksBill
