Does a complete vacuum schematic exist for a 1955 Century? I did search but came up empty. Thanks.

Ben, I may have to call you since we have the exact same car. It's really weird, because if you notice, the piece is not broken off, and in fact it has internal threads. It fits absolutely perfect inside the filter, almost as if it was made for it. I would have never given it a second thought if it hadn't fallen out, which leads me to believe the flow of gas could also push it out. Looking in the back of the carb where it goes in does not give me any more clues as to it's purpose. I'm going to leave it out unless anyone can tell me otherwise.

Thanks Mark. The article does not mention anything about the insert in the filter. I've attached a photo. In the photo it appears that the brass insert is slotted. It is not.

I recently posted in parts wanted, and was able to buy a Moraine pancake style fuel filter for my 1950 Buick Special. The filter I removed had a brass insert on the outflow side of the filter. Looks like it reduces the flow of fuel to the carburetor. Can anyone comment on this, and should I use it on the replacement filter? Thanks.

Hi Jim Thanks for the reply, do yo know if my hubcaps will fit on your wheels. They should if they’re the same size. My cell is 847-845-8882 if you can send me a photo. Thanks again. Don

I'm looking for a set of wheels for a 1955 Buick Century. I am not sure how many years Buick used the same wheel. They are 15 X 6 and my car takes a 760-15 tire. Please message me if you have any to sell. I live in the Chicagoland area. Thanks.

Thanks for the printout.

Makes sense. Thanks.

The wheel for the 1955 Century is 15 X 6.00, and the tire size is 7.60-15. My question is, will a 15 X 6 1/2 wheel which uses the same 7.60-15 tire be okay to use on my 55 Century? Thanks.

I could use the wheels if available. Don

Joe Are they still available?

Thanks

Bhigdog Can you say who you sent it to in Florida? If you rather you can message me with the information.

Thanks De Soto, I may as well just have mine rebuilt.

Looking for a working power brake unit. Please message me if you have one to sell. Thanks. Don

Can anyone recommend a vendor to rebuild my power brake unit? I was told to send it to Booster Dewey, but they start at 1959 for Buick. I know Bob's sells a new unit, but I'm not even sure who it's made by. Any help would be much appreciated. I am also putting a post in parts wanted, maybe someone has a unit they would like to sell. Thanks.

Thanks Rusty.

Ben, I just uploaded a cover page picture. Check it out.

Ben, you said this is what I use. What exactly did you mean? Yes, it would be nice to meet up, we're only 932 miles apart. Road trip!

I have the exact same car as you do. Same model, same year. More comfortable than my living-room sofa.

Is it okay to use 3/4" heater hose for the bypass between the water-pump and the thermostat housing on the straight 8 Buick? I just installed, and after a 30 minute drive it looked like the hose was swollen in the middle. Could be my imagination, but don't think so. Thanks.

Matthew Sorry for the late response, do you still have the exhaust manifold valve body? Looks like I could also use the exhaust manifold as well. Don
