Pagett, where is this "X code" located? Thank you, Tom

PM sent..

I`ve always used wd-40 to find a vacuum leak. With engine idling(with a vac leak engine runs ruff)spray wd-40 where intake bolts to head and around base of carb., spray each place one at a time, if the engine smoothes out for a few seconds that`s where the leaks is..

Picture is not so clear but looks a little like `41 Pontiac headlight doors, part #5931521

John, sending you an ad Dallas Tx. C/L. Ad is for 455 +.030 forged pistons, also in the ad is a Romac billet harmonic balancer new in box with bolt, not OEM. May not be what you want. https://dallas.craigslist.org/dal/pts/d/irving-buick-over-forged-pistons-speed/6840540322.html

BINGO!!

The open drive-line..

Lamar, another auto related site just west of Amarillo on Rt 66 is "Cadillac Ranch", ten half buried Cadillacs(`49-`63)nose first..

Tom, from what I`ve learned is the one on the left is the "city" one, and there is what they called the "country" one(or heavy-duty)which is an oil-bath. My `36 40series has one like yours, which I think is original to the car, both my radiator support rods are straight. I do have the oil-bath type also, I bought it from a guy parting out a `36 40series. Someone had changed the carb(put a carter in place of the stromberg)and hammered a spot on the underside for clearance so it would fit on the carter. I noticed the throw-out bearing and hub lying there. Bearing is easy to find, the hub it goes on not easy to find. There is a return spring that connects to the throw-out and the front of the trans. Most people destroy this spring when removing the transmission. FYI when removing the trans, first remove the bell-housing louvered vent(has the dripper tube) reach in and disconnect the spring. Attached is picture of oil bath type.

Damn thieves, they should have their twig and berries removed along with their hands. Orders for stereo equipment were placed while we were on line in the Tonkin Gulf, when we docked at Yokouska there were bob-tail trucks lined up as far as you could see, trucks were unloaded, everything stacked in the aft hanger bay. I got my stuff and went to the base post office and sent them home via SAM(space available mail). I was discharged 4mo later and was home a month before items started showing up over a ten day period. I got 4 speakers(2 pioneer/2 Akai)all 100 watt, 2 amps, a reverb, and a reel to reel with 8 track in the side. One amp and speakers in the shop and everything else in the living room. It can get loud around here..

Terry, the Pate Meet is so big and spread out, it sure would be nice if they would have a specific area for Pre-War vendors.. Maybe someone should make a suggestion to who is in charge.. Just a thought..

Lamar, you blew me away.. And the song fits right in with firing up the Buick. Chuck Berry did the Duck Walk and Mick does the Rooster Strut. I bought my 99A`s in Yokouska, Japan in 1970, and still as clear as can be, no distortion at any level. I appreciate the reply..

I`ve also used the spark-plug with the quick disconnect to pressurize the cylinder to replace valve springs or seals..

Probably nothing to say, it had the smallest amount of vendors in my 25+yrs of going. I got there at 7:45am and was headed home at 10:15. I did find a correct set of beauty/trim rings for my `36 artillery wheels and a rear RH tail light, I considered it a success, many a years I came home with nothing.

I bought new ones from LeBaron Bonney for my `36 Buick. They don`t come with hardware, you`ll have to remove/install your hardware. The hardware is just about impossible to find anymore.

Back in the day of drive-in movies, everyone with spot-lights would play tag on the screen, before the movie started, if they weren`t swapping slobber..

Seller should state a price then buyer can pass or counter-offer.

Next year 2020 will be the last..

Is "Auto Hardware Specialties" (Rex Weber) Sheldon, Iowa "1929-1941 GM parts" still in business? I`ve tried calling but no answer..

I think the 455 engine has a full intake manifold, meaning no valley pan under the intake manifold. So no, won`t fit. Maybe a more educated Buick guy will confirm..

I`m with the other comments about the silver stripe, more so around the windows than the belt line. Other thing that stood out to me was the fitment of the passenger door, the way it kicked out about 1 inch at the bottom, usually a sign of bad wood or the diagonal rod loose at the bottom.

I was happy in my dealing with Cam Nolan at LeBARON BONNEY. Can contact her at cnolan@lebaronbonney.com

I saw Blazing Saddles a short time ago, it was butchered so bad from the original, I turned it off..
