  1. Have no dash light on my 1923 Model 45 Buick. Anyone know where I can get on??? Another friend has a 1923 four cylinder roadster who needs a trunk lock for his car.
  2. Starter gears do not mesh some times, and have to hand crank engine about an inch. It must be the gear on the fly when and the starter gear do not match up. How do I file down the bad teeth on these gears?
  3. WOW, as a new member on the forum, I LOVE the information about Buicks of my era, 1923 model 45. The information that you share is great. I tour my '23 about 800 miles per year and in the winter try to fix what I can.
  4. I need to do a compression test on my '23 Buick Model 45. Do I warm up the engine, remove the plugs and do the test using the starter with the ignition off? I have the equipment, but need to know what compression to expect. Any and all advice would be appreciated.
  5. I have a 1923 Model 45 and am looking for: Top irons side spark club cover Crank breather cap Hand crank hole cover Metal floor plates for floor boards (peddles, gas pedle, floor shift plate, etc, wrench to remove hub cap)
  6. Will the top irons from a 1922 Model 45 fit a 1923 model 45 top? Where can I find the correct top material and color for a 1923 Model 45 Top? Was the original top material cloth or something else?
  7. Does BCA offer a large decal for our box trailers? Several other marque clubs have these decals for about $25. Thanks for your help.
  8. I am trying to find out what is correct for floor board covering; carpet, lanolium or rubber. I am also trying to find if 1923 Buick model 45's had pin striping
  9. While driving in a parking lot at about 10 MPH, my steering wheel started to violantly shake left and right. The only way to stop the shaking it was to completely stop. There is VERY little movement on the wheel/spindle; the bearings look good on the wheel that I have off. I am at a loss to figure what could have caused this to happen at such a slow speed. This is the first time this has happened, and I tour the car about 500 + miles per year.
  10. I have a 1923 Buick touring car and want to refinish and paint the brake drums and shoes. Because of the heat sometimes generated by the braking; what kind of paint should I use?
  11. The engine number is for a 1917, and the title says 1917, but my friend, the owner, and I believe it is older, but we do not know what year it is, maybe 1923 to 1925. It still is a very good Model T.
  12. It only sticks when it is in gear, and on an incline. I do not know much about adjusting the clutch, however it does not slip, and you do not have to push the peddle in far for it to activate.
  13. Posting this for a friend: Beautiful 1923 Model T "Doctor's Coupe:.

  14. Transmission unable to disengage several times on tour. I have to get "volunteers" to rock the car back or forward to be able to pull the gear shift out of gear. What do I do if I do not have any "volunteers" on my next tour?
