I had a terrible time with the passenger switch on my 82. The connector may not be making a good contact with the pins. You can pull the switch up from the armrest. Jolly-John may have a switch. Roger

Driving impressions 1937 Special VS Century
meteor replied to H.Earl 1's topic in "Not Mine" Automobiles For Sale
My 40 Special has no problem doing 50 to 60mph. It has 410 ratio and when I checked it with a tach at 50 mph it was 2250 rpm. Not too bad and hills are no problem. Sure the Century or Roadmaster would be better but who wants to drive interstates all day? I kinda think the 248's get a bad rap. Roger -
I did not try Bill Hirsch but I will. Thanks, Roger

I bought a quart from Car's and it was light gray so I returned it without any problems. I am about 45min. away which is great.
-
Thanks EmTee I think that is the same color just brighter lighting. Nobody seems to sell that color. Thanks Roger
-
I have searched for the correct 1940 special and it seems that gray is correct. What color is my engine. Photo attached. I hope. Thanks Roger

SOLD-2-New In Box Car Quest R12 Auto Air Conditioner Recharge Kits
meteor replied to Riviera63's topic in Buick Riviera
Thanks Turbinator, I will start looking at Craig's list. I was not thinking of that. I do scan Ebay sometimes but never any real r-12 is ever listed. Have not done much driving since covid so now is a good time to attend to any issues. Regards, Roger -
Open the bleeder valves and see if they retract, but they are more than likely stuck to the rusted rotors or brake drums.

SOLD-2-New In Box Car Quest R12 Auto Air Conditioner Recharge Kits
meteor replied to Riviera63's topic in Buick Riviera
Hey guys, if anyone has any R-12 that they are not needed and would sell, PM me. I am not a BCA member AACA only but I do have a couple of Buick's. The 82 Riviera convertible has a very slow leak lasting about 2 years before short cycling. I have a universal certificate. Thanks Roger -
Keep the Desoto if you are going to drive it. Don't let it sit in storage. Nice car.

D2Beetle, Where is the car located?

Had the same issue with my 40 Special. It was the rubber brake hose to the rear wheel. Brake fluid would pass through but not return and kept the shoe from retracting.
-
Ok now. Must have been on my end.

I cannot open AACA.ORG I get a code saying my connection is not secure and attackers may be trying to steal my information, passwords etc. Is this problem on my end? All my other sites open normally.

Do you have a repair manual with tune up specifications? Is TDC the correct timing?
-
If your car accelerates ok and only backfires on deceleration I would think the condenser is ok. The gav setting differs on most A's. Give it a 3/4 turn to the left and see what happens. That is easy to check. If it does not help then change the condenser.
-
Increase your gav to the left. Needs a richer mixture.

Jim, Where is the car located?

Try putting the gear shift in second before going to 1st.
