  4. On mine the lines are white. Although, to be correct, only the diamonds should be white.. (If, I recall....)
  5. Although my odometer is very accurate (checked against GPS and highway mile posts) My Speedometer is shows 30%-35% faster than actual speed. I use my GPS Garmin Nuvi to tell my actual speed.
  6. The white cloisonne is correct. Most (all) have lost their cloisonne over the years.

  12. I vote V8 Nailhead Buick V8 If you're going to hot rod go whole hog
  13. Al Capone is correct, I got special permission from my insurance company to use my Roadmaster for each of two of my nieces' weddings. Also there could be licence issue with the local and state livery and taxi boards ... Here in my town there are several competing livery services offering antique cars for weddings. (I drive one such antique wedding car service) The competition here is Keen !
  14. V-12 was it? Any way it was fun to watch. I was trying to figure what was the old car the jumped into after they bailed from the Cadillac.....

  17. CARS choke stove kit http://www.oldbuickparts.com/catalog/carburetion-c-76_88_502.html?page=3&sort=3a Here's what I used for my choke stove ($13.99) http://www.autozone.com/autozone/accessories/Help-Choke-Stove-and-Heater-Tube-Repair-Kit/_/N-255s?itemIdentifier=426073 I attached the supplied choke stove to the manifold. It's been working fine for 12 years. The original piping would attached to a hole through the manifold. (a hole to outside air not exhaust gas)
  18. That's a good question Rooster, and I would have included the answer above if, supper had not called me away A 'closed' system has a an inlet that draws air through the the intake filter, If you want a' closed' system you'll have to tap in to the air cleaner, pipe that to the inlet to the crankcase. For a 'closed' system the air would enter through the air cleaner snorkel , then into the crank case (through the valve cover or valley pan), then into the intake manifold, and through the combustion chamber. An open system allows air directly into the crankcase (valve cover or valley pan) then into the intake manifold ... thereby eliminating the need for a pipe from the valve cover (or valley pan) to the air filter
  19. A pcv system only works if there is somewhere for air to come in to replace the vapors being sucked away. leaving the oil fill cap alone will allow fresh air into the crankcase and flow through the pcv into the combustion chamber to be burned off.
