I would post this on the Chevrolet page.

Thanks for the information. I enjoy the "Hobby" and learning more about the different models.

Was this made in a 2dr model? I have only seen 4 dr's.

Be careful who you lend your trailer to. (If any).

On my 1922 Studebaker Big 6 I removed the lower sheet metal covers over the flywheel and using a wire wheel on by die grinder cleaned the rust off the timing marks. I then repainted them to aid in the timing sequence.

Walk Tall with your excellent restoration.

This a good example of what the younger members have never seen. The forum is a great conduit for transferring knowledge to the new generation.

My distributor was a Remy. If you are not a member of the ASC club you should join. It will save you time and money plus you will meet interesting people.

I had trouble setting the timing up on my 1922 Big 6 about 15 yrs ago. As I remember I never realized the rotor was held to the distributor shaft by a screw which locks it down. ( any place in a 360 degree rotation). I would think you would set #1 piston at TDC on the compression stroke, and rotate the distributor till the points just open. The rotor wound then be placed under what will become #1 spark plug wire and locked down. The rest of the wires would be installed according to the firing order.

What a "Drop Dead" gorgeous car

I know of two people who has one. PM me if interested. I would think they would ask in the 2-3K range.

Nice Display, I worked as a electrician, Our trucks were labeled "Let us remove your shorts"

I have a few extra but would like to hold onto them. If all else fails send me a PM.

As I remember these transmissions, the input shaft did not fit into a pilot bearing in the crankshaft but hung out in mid-air. They were over complicated with more parts than most 4-speed transmission of the day . Many CD-8 owners had the dealership replace them with a standard 3 sp trans, I believe they used a 31 Dodge transmission as a replacement. I made the swap on my CD-8 and was happy.

You will find the "Early Cars" are a different "Breed of Cat" similar to flying across the ocean in a Wright Flyer. They are fun and will make you appreciate the improved technology of latter years. Most owners don't know about the early ignition systems. They can be learned with a little effort on the owners part. The forum is one of the few places with expert knowledge and experience. Good Luck in your Quest.

I agree, A lot of fun for very little money.

0-10 psi gauges can be found on line,

I would guess it was made "In House". However I am looking forward to post from members who know.

I have one.

I can't think of a better way to "Meet Jesus"

Did you ever find a exhaust manifold? I might have one.

This is a "Labor of Love" project. Slow and easy , take a break when you get tired and you can "Work" your way through it.

Post it on the Buick page.

How nice it is when the forum members "Step Up" to help fellow forum members solve their complex problems .
