My car has a reproduction with a modern spin on element. I purchase it new , uninstalled from an individual .

Here's a better shot of my filter plumbing. The rear line has unusual bends as it was salvaged from a Standard series car. Mine is a Master.

Shown is correct oil filter lines and fittings on my 1929 Buick. I assume 1930 would be the same or very close.

Hello guys.1929-41. I am at an end trying to solve my head lamp bulb problem. I have replaced bulbs several times and they still fail after only a few miles of driving. I have used new Chinese looking bulbs and very old new American made bulbs. I have used 32 CP and 21 CP bulbs. Headlamp are completely stock. Wiring is new. Switch restored. No other bulbs of other lights on the car fail prematurely. Charging system is unmolested. Group 1 6 volt battery . All connections are clean and tight. Everything electrical on the car operates as it should. Any suggestions?

I have a recently rebuilt 1929 Buick fuel pump. The pump will free from cracks. Linkages have been checked or replaced. Price is $400.00. May consider trades for other 1929 Buick parts.

On the oil flow, your oil flow looks normal for cold oil at idle. There is no evidence of oil starvation such as shavings or hot parts. My 29 does the same cold, but take it for a drive, pop the valve cover off then rev the engine with hot oil and oil goes everywhere. My 29 engine has almost the same sound at idle for as long as I can remember. I have adjusted valves with no luck. May be piston slap or wrist pin. Possibly in the accessories. I don't fear engine failure at all. I also inspected cam and followers last time pan was off, all looked great . Check what you can to safeguard , then run it.

I have (4) 6.50-20 Denman tires. Black wall with 80% tread remaining. They have some cracking . The tread is a rib design. I drove the car they were removed from the last 2-3 years with no problems. Tires include tubes and flaps. asking $40.00 each plus shipping. I also have one much older 6.00-20 Goodyear black wall tire . Contact Ray 936-635-7777 or lizdurrett@yahoo.com

There is a company Howell Sheet Metal located in Beaumont Texas 1-800-375-6663. They produce reproduction metal for Fords and Chevrolets. On their website they claim to be able to duplicate parts using your old patterns. If you could borrow a pattern from someone or use what you have to have your new parts made. They may can go by a drawing that you could provide. Good Luck

I have a 1929 Buick that has 3/4" head lug nuts. I was wanting one of the original JAXON type lug short wrenches. Does anyone have such?

Hello. I have a 29-41 and have a question regarding the rear bumper. My car has a left and right bumper assembly , with three bars each. My car does not have bumperettes on either side and I would like to add them. What is the correct width of the bumperette and how many bolts hold them in place? There are no holes in my bumper to allow mounting bolt to go through , so it would probably use two 3/8 bolts.

Hello. I am in need of a few wheel rim clamp/wedges for my 1929 Buick. The number cast into the backside of mine is 933523. My catalog shows 1929-1932 use the same clamp. Attachments_2016_01_3.zipAttachments_2016_01_3.zip

I looks like 1/8" NPT to me. Any hardware or automotive store should have several items with the same thread that you can compare to.

I would also verify accuracy of the temperature gauge. It can easily be done with the infra red hand held guns. My 29 gauge shows about 15 degrees more than the actual coolant temperature.

I am interested in purchasing a car cover for my 29-41. The car will be stored inside an insulated building in East Texas. The climate here is fairly high humidity most of the time. I want a cover that is cut to fit correctly as well as easy to install. What manufacturer and what material would you recommend?

Sorry I couldn't figure how to rotate the photos. There are two. The right border is the bottom .

Hello . I am seeking input from owners of 1929 Buick Masters regarding front spring ride height. My car is low in the front end and looks strange. I haven't measured my running board angle in degrees. It has 6.50-20 tires that are properly inflated. I have recently installed new front springs and they are almost resting on the shackle stops. Shown in the photo , is a measurement from shop floor to center of front spring bolt. How does this measurement compare to the car that you guys own ? Please take the time to measure and share how high your front end sits.

Hello I am in the process of rewiring my 29-41. I have the generic wiring schematic for my car , but it does not show the details for the connections at the circuit breaker and the headlamp switch. I pretty much have everything else figured out. Does anyone out there have this information? I prefer to not proceed trial and error. Thanks

Hello I am working on my 29-41. I have recently cleaned and inspected the tie rod and drag link ball/socket components. All appear to ready for more miles. Now, I would like to hear the professional procedure for adjustment of the ball seat tension. I have so far tightened them down all the way , then lined up the cotter pin . What now? Thanks

I know that this technique seems harsh, I have probably removed 50+ broken bolts and studs in various states of decay using this method. I have performed it on cast iron, cast steel and cast aluminum parts. On aluminum do not heat until glowing. Only mild heat .

You are lucky that you have part of the bolt sticking out.This is how I have removed many broken bolts in the past. I would first very firmly tap on the stub sticking out several times. Then heat with an acetylene torch on medium flame , all around the bolt. Try not to heat bolt itself, but the material around it. Bring the metal around it to a glow. I then quench by pouring cold water with a steady stream to completely cool all parts. Soak bolt with penetrating lubricant. Using vise grips , very lighty attempt to turn the broken bolt back and forth. DO NOT break it off, you can always tap on, reheat and quench again . If movement is detected soak it with lube again and keep going back and forth. Always use minimal force. Finesse, not force. The tapping with a hammer and the quenching has worked for years for me . Good luck.

My car is a 29-41 . Does anyone know of a source for tie rod repair sockets and drag link socket parts. The balls are in good condition. The seats show wear. I was thinking that certain Chevrolet and GMC trucks used the same parts , but I don't have the means to cross reference. Thanks

The nut shown threads on to the front bolt for the front spring. The bolt comes from outside the frame , thru the spring and threads into the front hanger. The exposed threads are the ones the crown nut goes on. The recess below the hex is the part that goes thru the front bumper bracket. I would photograph , but my car in in many pieces at the moment.

I am in need of two nuts that go thru each front bumper bracket. They go thru the inner side and thread onto the front spring bolt. The thread is 11/16-16. The hex is 1" . I prefer to find them ready to use vs. having them machined. Thanks.
