  1. Jim,

    I have a friend that has a set of 14" Buick rally/sport wheels. They are about 2 1/2 hours away though, so I'm not able to get pictures. I'd ask her to, but they are up in the garage attic, and it has been unbelievably hot here in the Midwest.  As I recall, they were in pretty nice condition. If you are interested, I can contact her about them.

  2. Above is a chart of the Rally wheels Buick used. As you can see, the 14" wheels are all 6" wide but different offsets or back space as it is referred to in this chart. The first and second designs will not work with disc brakes because of the back space. 

     The 14" seem to be more easily found than the 15". At least that is my experience. 

     

     Hope this is helpful and good luck,

  3. There is another possible spot. You would have to remove the trim for the windshield to check though. There is a seam in the corners where the A pillar and lower windshield come together. If the windshield seal has hardened it could possibly leak under the windshield and run down the inside of the firewall. Just a thought.

  4. I'm going to lean towards the engine compartment side of the heater box. I don't see how rainwater could get into the inside portion of the heater box without a way past the engine compartment side of the heater box. The engine compartment side is supposed to have a seal and with the age of your Skylark, it is very possible that the seal has deteriorated. 

     

     Best of luck on your search and repair.

  6. My apologies for not keeping you all in the loop.

    The hosting site for 65GS.com made some server changes and as a result, 65GS.com ended up being unavailable. The hosting site wouldn't accept that the problem was a result of their server update, and my webmaster wasn't able to gain access to search out the issue. I was about to give up on being able to restore 65GS.com until a member with programing experience came forward and managed to recover the forum. With many, many hours of work he has gotten 65GS.com back up and running. 

     

      It's good to see that 65GS.com is appreciated.
