Thanks i will check that out.

Yeah the dimmer switch on the floor works ok .

Hi My right hand signal is not flashing on my 48 desoto S11.I know it is not the bulbs as they have been checked, the left hand does flash but takes a second or two to react once the signal lever is pulled down. Would this be down to the flasher unit on its way out or is there another explanation, they did both work when I first got the car last year but were a bit temperamental then. I live in the UK and any advice would be much appreciated as you can imagine I dont yet know anybody else near me who has a 48 desoto. Many thanks Nick.

Thanks Mike Nick .

thanks i will have another go of clipping off the trim from the outside.

I will do thanks .

Hi Gary, unfortunately my service manual does not say anything on removing trim.

Hi would anybody be able to tell me how you remove the stainless steel trim strips that run along the doors on my 1948 desoto.Is there a tool you slide behind them to unclip, or do you have to get to them from inside the car by taking off the door cards. many thanks in advance Nick .

It looks like somone replaced three original bolts with something different at one time in the cars past and we are a bit concerened about cranking them up again since stripping down.I will try ARP. Thanks. Nick .

Thanks for that I will check them out .

Hi, hope someone can help I live in the U.K. and I am having difficulty in locating cylinder head bolts for my 51 Buick Super.Does anyone out there know where I could buy some, I need them pretty quick as I need to get this engine back together before the end of March, have Weddings coming up fast. Many thanks, Nick

Hi, my 51 Super "Daisy" is playing up this morning , turned on ignition pumped the gas , then turned off to repeat. But she is staying on in off position showing gauges on and turning over when pressing the throttle . Any ideas anyone please would be most grateful. Thank you . Nick.

HI, i just went out to start my 51 Buick , pumped the gas turned her on then turned her over then turned her off to pump the gas again this i normally repeat a couple of times . But this time the ignition is not going off when i turn the key to the off position , all gauges are showing power and when i press the throttle the engine turns over .Had to disconnect the battery to turn off . Anyone got an idea what this may be , never happened before . Thanks would much appreciate some help. Nick .

Thanks Don , Seems not to be a problem with my ignition switch after all she has been starting fine today , looks like something to do with the connection from the start switch from the gas pedal to the starter motor . Have to do a bit of investigation i think . I have attached a few Pictures of "daisy" my 51 Super .

Thanks for you help I have discovered how to remove the cylinder with instruction from a 1950 buick shop manual .Have removed it and turned the ignition switch with a screwdrider but still no engine turn over when pressing the gas pedal could , this be that the ignition switch is worn and needs replacing . Thanks once again for your help . Nick .

Hi , everyone i have just joined this forum and own a 1951 Buick Super . I live in The U.K , and do not come across many other owners to ask advice from .I have to replace my ignition lock as it has finally worn out and is now permanently stuck on the lock position . Is this an easy job to do and if so I would be grateful if anyone could run me through it . thanks . Nick .
