Where can I purchase a light switch for my 1964 Riviera? Second question I have is how do you replace the switch? The courtesy lights stay on after turning the knob and takes may attempts to get them to switch off. Plus the gauge lights do not illuminate anymore.

ISO help trying to figure out what is draining my battery. My 4 year old battery went dead so I bought a new one. Car turned over and ran fine. Battery had a full charge when I parked it but was completely drained in a week. Any idea on what i should look for that could possibly be draining my battery?

I have a 1972 Buick Skylark and was wondering if I can switch out the bumpers from a 1971? I'm not a fan of the rubber bumper guards on the 72. Is the mounting points, hardware, lights, ect interchangeable? Anything I need to know?
-
Thanks John, I ordered the ABS plastic quarter bumper fillers from Plastic Parts Inc. Do you know where I can find the black bumper filler between the rear bumper & the truck? The pieces under the license plate and between tail lights and bumper?

Here's a link to a website that lists gas stations by state that sell non ethanol pure gas: www.pure-gas.org . You can also take a couple 5 gallon gas cans down to the local airport and buy some 100LL octane jet fuel. My riv loves the high octane and the added upper cylinder lube.

In search of those plastic rear quarter ends for my 1976 Buick Electra 225. They just recently started to crack and fall apart. I need both the left and the right.

Does anyone know what the original brand and model tire was factory installed on the 1976 Buick Electra 225? And how large of a white wall?

1 hour ago, NTX5467 said:
I concur with Pete, no difference, BUT there were three lengths. The short ones were for the cars with wheel covers that also used plastic valve stem extensions. The middle length ones would be for non-wheel cover cars, but were long enough to use in the place of the short ones and the valve stem extensions. The long ones were not used in OEM production, but were available if needed for particular applications. It's possible, too that the short ones could be used on non-wheel cover cars or the chrome road wheel cars.
When the wheel cover cars left the factory, the wheel covers were in the trunk. The short valve stems were on the wheels, with their black caps screwed-on. The package of valve stem extensions were in the glove box. Before the wheel covers were installed, the valve stem extensions were installed and the black valve stem caps discarded.
There were some different lengths of the valve stem extensions, too, as I recall. The production items were about 1" long, black body with a white center plunger. This is generally the ones I remember from back then. A next-size longer extension could also be used, depending upon the way the wheel cover was shaped and its thickness at the valve stem slot.
That's how I recall it . . .

The ones on it now are plastic that go to a tip with no cap and it has a disc to prevent the spoke hub cap from falling off. Not sure if they were original or not I just assumed not.

Does anyone have a photo of an original valve stem or can anyone tell me if they are similar to what you can get over the counter? Working on the last details for Hershey! Also, the motor for the power antenna does not work Anyone have experience with rebuilding them or again is this something you can buy over the counter. I'd rather rebuild the original if possible.

Here's a link to gas stations in PA that sell non-ethanol. Not sure if any are near Huntingdon. Maybe seek out a local http://pure-gas.org/index.jsp?stateprov=PA

Grab a few gas cans and head to your local airport. Have them fill you up with 110 octane low lead pure gasoline.

How do you get to the back of the instrument panel? I never took mine apart and have no idea where to start.
