Lucas makes a hot rod and classic car oil formulated with the zinc and phosphorus needed for those engines.

Keith, here's some photo's.

I have a '36 Buick with the jack and I'll get it out and post a photo for you.

Usually when a modern oil says "Not recommended for passenger car use" it normally means not for modern car use, since the high zinc levels will kill the catalytic converters.
If you notice the Lucas Hot Rod and Classic oil says "High Zinc" right on the container and the write up on their website say for cars "without catalytic converters".
I use Valvoline VR-1 Synthetic racing oil in all my antique cars, since it has a higher zinc level.
The Lucas Oil looks good to me, but I would contact Lucas directly via there website to ask any questions you may have as they are the experts on their products. I have contact Valvoline with questions like this and always got an answer and sometimes they have told me not to use specific product I asked about for my application.
Everyone has their favorite oil that is the best. Make your decision based on solid facts and then decide on your best oil.
Thanks Vila, I did contact Lucas and it sounds like a good oil for old engines. I had wondered if anyone had used it and what they thought. I'll try it.

Has anyone used the Lucas Hot rod and Classic oil from Lucas? Just wondering if it's a good choice.

Bud, my email is mikepahl@suddenlink.net
-
Hi Bud, if you'll send your email I'll send you some photos of it to make sure it's what you want.
-
Hi Bud, the only numbers I can find are a P21502 and 1-3/16 This carb is for a 60, 80 and a 90 '36 Buick. It has the goose neck intake.

I am looking for a rebuilt factory spec, carb for my 320cid 66s 1939 Buick, the one I have is made out of many different parts and I would like to replace it.
What model is it, I have a working Stromberg EE22
-
I checked with the seller and it sold for $36,500.
-
Thanks for the reply David. It sounds a little scary. I'll try it that way and hope for no fires.
-
Looking in my shop manual for float adjustment on a Stromberg EE22 it states that in order to set the float at 5/8" from the top of the float bowl the car needs to be running with the top of the carburetor off. Has anyone heard of this or done it? Also it doesn't look like 5/8" is correct.

Merry Christmas to you Grant, from Arkansas.
'36 Buick Century

My headlight switch is shorted out and I'm wondering if it can be repaired or can an after market switch be used in place of it.
-
Take a look at this restoration process. Go to the archive and view the entries beginning October 7, 2006 and continuing on October 14:

Thanks,
Thank you, that's exactly what I was hoping for.
-
I want to thank you all for your help. Is there a photo somewhere showing this bulb out of the engine and where do I get it repaired? It was working fine until I had some work done under the dash.
-
Yep! What Danny said. All the ether in it has escaped. They can be repaired!
Cheers
Grant
Are these difficult to remove? I looked at the connection on the motor and am not sure how it's connected to the block. If the square nut is threaded or pressed in. Don't want to damage anything.
-
What would make a heat gauge stop working? Has anyone had this happen?
-
Is there such a place that keeps track of how many Buicks of each year are still out there registered somewhere? Preferably the pre war Buicks.
-
I have a '36 Century that had that problem. The previous owner had a shop weld a nut on the hinge to prevent it from creeping. Where he welded it I can't tell from looking at the hinge but it worked. Hope that may help.
-
I'm looking for a working headlight switch for a '36 Buick Century if anyone may have one for sale.
-
I had the dash bulbs and wiper motor replaced and now I've noticed that my amp meter, temp guage and clock no longer work. There is spark at the clock. If these are shorted out can they be repaired. I know the clock can be fixed but not sure about the gauges.
-
I was planning on relining but someone jerry rigged a couple of the shoes and I want them all to be right. Thanks for the reply.
-
Thank you both, the ones on ebay make it easy. Never thought they would have a whole set.
