Can anyone please give me the dimensions of the funnel on the crank case breather from a '27 Standard. Mine is missing and I have to construct a new one.

Thanks a lot for the hints but I think no matter what the book says I'll not use the explosive gasoline idea.

Can anyone enlighten me on the purpose of the two little gears in the fan hub on a ’27 standard?

Yes it is, sitting on the bench. The picture looks a lot better than it is.

Has anybody had success in removing built up and embedded grease from the fiber clutch plates of a 1926 standard? Or is there a known provider for new ones?

On my '26 I used "T nuts" which worked well and stay in place when you took the screws out.

I would appreciate it if someone could point me in the right direction to get .020 over rings for a 1927 Standard 6. I've tried several suppliers and there appears to be .020 over 1/8 wide compression rings available but not a 1/8 wide oil ring. Wayne

I have two Marvel carbs surplus to my needs. One from a '26 standard and one from a '27 standard. They were both on running vehicles when removed.

I have a complete assembly from a '26/27 standard, surplus to my needs if that's any help. Wayne

On a 1927 standard what should the piston clearance be?

Thanks. I guess I just wanted to know how mush in 92 years they are out from standard.

Does anyone have the specifications for the crankshaft and rods for a 1927 standard? Took a rod bearing out the other day, so I’m preparing to re-babbitt and want to know the starting values. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

I have an intake off a '27 motor that's surplus to my needs if your interested. In fact I'm parting out a McLaughlin 27-27 which is going to be too much work for restoration, if there is any thing else needes. Wayne

I found this rolling chassis of a 1924 Buick that the fellow wants to get rid of. It was touring that the body got made into a hot rod leaving the chassis, running motor, steering column (with mint steering wheel) and other spare parts. The deterrent is that it’s on Vancouver Island B.C. He said cheap, whatever that means. He also had a good looking rad shell with lovers for a 1931 Buick. Any interest I'll get the contact info.

I have a spare carb from a 27-27 which was on a running motor when it was parked. Sorry no pictures at this time. In fact I'm going to be parting out the whole car of surplus parts. If interested my e-mail is wayne@mccargar.com.

Thanks a lot, just what I was looking for.

Could someone please give me the head bolt torque specs for a 1926 Standard. And are the two end studs a different spec. because they are fine thread. Wayne

I'm looking for help locating replacement Kingpins and bushings for a 1926 Buick Standard. Bob's Automobilia is out of stock. Wayne

The problem is that I live in Canada and these companies won't ship paint to Canada.

Does anyone have a manufacture and paint code for the olive-green engine paint for the 1926 Buick?

Thanks everyone for the wealth of information as usual. Wayne

When I was trailing the ’26 home I noticed oil leaking from the right rear hub. It was coming out of a round tube type thing below the axle. Being new to this era of Buick I have no idea what it is or what its function is and I was unable to find it in any of the manuals I have. I am hoping someone can enlighten me to its function and why oil would be leaking out of it.

On my recent '26 purchase I found shocks on the front axle but I have never seen anything like them. They look period so I would appreciate any insight anyone might have on them.

Does anyone know if this key fob is an original to 1926 or later version. It came with the '26 I recently purchased and looks old.

I like that and will give it a try tomorrow. Thanks
