I uploaded 10 photos to my album, sizes ranging from 850kb to 1.25mb, total of 10+ meg. Click on add, wait to display, click on add. Easy. Did not get any size warning or notice. This topic is to transfer from album to post. I clicked on "choose files" and it brought up album. I then clicked on 1st to highlight it then push control key and clicked on each one consecutively to highlight all pics then clicked on "open files". ERROR MESSAGE came up, "1 file skipped that exceeded the 9.766 total limit". I clicked OK and 9 photos showed up on post. John

Don't you have hose and fitting stores there?

They are 1/8 th inch NPT (pipe thread). We can get Metric here, I find it hard to believe that you can't get US NPT fittings in the EU.

The rattle is likely the damper but doesn't normally affect the CPS function. The slotted ring is on the inner member.

Proofreading helps.

YEAH! That's what I did!

Improvise, rig up something to a straw, anything. I don't even remember how I filled mine but it was not something to lose sleep about.

I liked it for chalk lines on my roof for shingle alignment.

Damn fine looking car(s), I am turning GREEN. Welcome! This Buick forum can be a great asset for you. John PS: having door handles sure makes it easier to open the back doors.

Correction: The 58 Manual states that it begins actuation at appx 1/2 throttle. This is different than the 55 Manual. As it is not clear if we are troubleshooting a Twin Turbine or Triple Turbine Flight Pitch Dynaflow, or what yr the transmission is, I will now leave this conversation for others more intimate with Dynaflows.

On my 55, from memory, there is always spring tension. The adjustment is done at the linkage on the firewall. It has become obvious that you need a shop manual for your car, it will answer all your questions about adjustments and troubleshooting.

The small lever at front left on the transmission is operated by linkage to the throttle linkage at the carburetor. It only actuates the lever at the trans when near full throttle when adjusted properly. After verifying that the throttle does move the lever at the transmission, you can use wire or a plastic zip tie to keep it locked at full stroke. It would be best to disconnect the linkage rod at the transmission before locking the lever at full travel against the internal spring tension.

At any speed from 20 mph up, you should hear the engine rpm increase when to go to full throttle in Drive range. If you cannot tell, you need someone to operate throttle in car while you check linkage arm travel at the accumulator. You could also remove linkage at accumulator and stroke the lever by hand to check limits of travel and spring tension. If the accumulator is changing the pitch of the convertor, it will be noticeable when driving normal vs full throttle. Again, You must put a guage on it to test those function pressures. As an alternate test, you could wire the lever at full stroke on the transmission and test drive for performance. It should be noticeably improved.
