1939 Texas on mine.

Copied From Team Buick Reference tab: On 1935-1955 Canadian built Buicks, a single data tag on the firewall or cowl will contain all of the required information, but on U.S. built Buicks, in general these numbers are found in the following locations: Frame serial number - for 1935-1940 it is on a plate riveted to the right side (passenger side in U.S./Canada) of the frame near the battery or starter. For 1941-1948 it is on the firewall near the trim tag. Car serial and VIN - on a plate attached to the left side door jamb (driver side in U.S./Canada) or on the left side of the dash near the windshield. Stamped engine serial number and production code - various places on the engine depending on the engine type, see appendices 2-4. Trim tag - a plate attached to the cowl or firewall under the hood.

Cut a 1 inch piece of heater hose and slip on the end of the prop - has worked for me for almost 10 years without slipping. There is a change in the profile of the hood making a small indention that is the best place to position the prop to assist in keeping the hood up.

Might find what you need in this on-line Fisher Body Manual. http://chevy.oldcarmanualproject.com/fisher/1939_40/index.htm

Only photo visible is the one in the first post - might try adding photos again.

Closing in on 47 years of marriage, and she helps in the garage just as I do in the kitchen - when asked for a hand with something!

Say dude, didn't mean to get your jockey shorts in a twist, just providing the original poster a supplier name who sells what he was asking about. Been using some of their products for eight or nine years, never had any issues - don't know you from Adam's house cat, whoever you are....!

There are supposed to be dust caps on the top - on my '39, they are 1 inch diameter. Might measure the top opening to be sure that is the same on your '35 special. I think I found them at NAPA. Might be called Freeze Plugs or Expansion Plugs - domed shape that you insert and center punch to expand and seal the top opening.

It isn't '38, they had either Stromberg or Marvels, and '39 used Carter WDO 419-S (which the pictured carb is not) or Stromberg AAV-26. So, either earlier than '38 or '40 or later. Maybe Carbking can chime in.

It is thick, I used a thin wooden strip to “spoon” it in. Took some time, but I have no more leaks from using thinner material.
