  1. Look to Restoration Supply Escondido CA. Page 12 of their online catalog, has nitrophyl floats for Marvel carbs. These guys also stock cork and nitrophyl material for float fabrication . Another source for what you need is Bobs Automobilia . They sell Marvel floats and the gaskets you need. The carb kit they sell has a float included. Good Luck!
  2. What doors used a locking outside door handle on my 29 Buick 41 4 DR sedan? I have tried installing one on my RF door but it wont go in all the way. No matter position the key is in.
  3. Hello. I am in need of a splash apron for my 29-41.This part goes directly below the radiator and between the frame rails. I have the original ,but it isn't in very good condition. I also need the filler panel (honeycomb panel )that goes directly below the radiator core. It has the crank hole. I have a good one for a STANDARD but need one for a MASTER. I would be willing to trade .THANKS
  4. Hello John. Your questions can be easily answered by going to 29buickphotos.com .Go to the photos ,then , information and lastly-miscellaneous parts and information. There you will see all parts associated with the speedometer drive. Good Luck.
  5. I was just responding to my search for a wiper arm .Bobs is sending me blades,which I think will work.
  6. Thanks guys for responding. According to Bobs,the only wiper arms for 29s they sell,are for vacuum wiper cars.Mine has electric. As far as wiperman ,I asked and he said no. So I guess ill keep looking.
  7. Hello . I have a Buick 29-41 with electric wipers. Does anyone have for sale, a passenger side wiper arm.Could anyone recommend a source for a 7 inch wiper blade the attaches by a single screw?
  8. Thanks. The pressures that I have observed are between 55 and 60 PSI.These were obtained quickly and evenly.QUOTE=nzcarnerd;1260155]Don't know the factory recommendation but with a compression ration of 4.3 the figure should be (14.6 x 4.3) - 62psi. Probably what is more important is how much different each cylinder is to the others.
  9. Hello Buick fans. I am going to perform a compression test on my 1929 121" .Does anyone happen to know what the test specifications are? Thanks
  10. You are correct.The outer cable sheath needs to go into the adapter, farther to allow the inside cable to protrude. I would post photos but am unable to at this time
  11. Hello .I am having difficulty in getting my new speedometer cable adapter to work. I have a Buick 29-41 .I recently purchased a good used speedometer cable assembly. On this cable assembly ,it still had the die cast adapter pn 848188.It has swollen and is too large to go into my transmission.so I then purchased from CA ,a new brass adapter .It fits beautifully into my transmission.It has cast into it pn 848188 as well.The problem is, the bore that the outer cable housing goes into, on the diecast part is approximately 2.2 inches deep. The bore depth on the brass part is approximately .9 inches deep. I know that it can be drilled or bored to match the depth of the diecast part,but Id rather not.Has anyone else encountered this problem? I hope that Im using the correct parts.I have no original part number resources.Thanks
  12. Hello I am assuming all remaining parts are for a STANDARD. Would the fuel pump be available for sale by itself?
  13. Sorry,long day. 1929 Master 121" model 41
  14. Hello .Just got my 29 buick going again. This time I have installed a 26-28 carburetor on my car. My question is, does anyone sell the air valve spring by itself? I am begining to question the integrity of my old spring as the carburetor is very difficult to tune. The original 29 potmetal masterpiece was the same. I had to use the same spring as my 26-28 carb didnt have one.Thanks.
  15. Hello everyone. I am trying to repair the speedometer drive for my 1929 buick mod 41. I recently removed the speedometer drive adapter from the transmission. I doing so I caused some damage to the 8 tooth drive gear that locates on the front of the u joint. I would like to locate a good usable u joint with a usable gear OR a worn out u joint that has a usable gear. I figure that if Im lucky enough to locate this,I might even stumble across the 23 tooth driven gear as well. I already have the new brass drive adapter .Any help would be appreciated.
  16. Well I finally was able to remove the speedometer gear adapter from my transmission. The driven speedometer gear has suffered some damage.Would anyone have an original for a pattern or drawings so I could attempt to duplicate it? Has anyone ever had a custom gear made? Any help would be appreciated .Its a 29-41
  17. You made your own gears or housing? The housing is the easy part.I going to the the gear that turns the cable.At the moment Im having a difficult time removing the u joint from the output shaft. Im trying to be careful and not damage any parts.Any ideas anyone?
  18. I am in need of someone who can repair or duplicate my speedometer cable and housing. I also need the driven speedometer gear.I have a source of a new driven gear housing.I may also need the drive gear,Ill know later. This is a result of an old and deteriorating housing that Ive had to remove a chip at a time. Its been a real pain removing the housing.The car is a model 29-41
