I would not be to concerned about that, I can not answer your question , but if you have your title with vin number on it —-it should be like this ,
IG4AZ57Y2CE. With its sequential number on end. Ok.

Great Riviera, I owned a really nice 73, but I wish I had a 71, I liked 71 better .out of the three boat tail years.

Lovely example Frank, I have changed heater cores on three Buicks—-all with air.
65 Riviera, 69. Electra, and 1966 Electra .
started to do it on 1965 Riviera, but stopped and went out side under hood. These were all about
25. 30 years ago, But I can tell. You , Do it from under your hood, far easier, and less pain with ,worrying about
all the other acserories that you can and have to be careful from breaking or disconnecting while under dash.
Go to page 15 this forum, —-head line is, Anybody know where to obtain. New heater core,—-august 23rd
good luck.

Forgot to mention on Buicks when ever changing or fitting new spark plugs the 2 plugs at front passenger are sometimes very hard to get to, and what can happen is it’s easy to crack the white porcelain on the spark plug—- this can cause a miss under load.

Do you happen to use any Octane boosters?
Never used it —no need if your cars tuned correct.

Go check all your electrics first ,distributed, points, cap, condenser, wiring from all of these , plus another item to check is spark plugs the problem that you have can be caused by spark plugs with not the corrrect heat range. — to cold .

the only change I made with my sixties Buick s was changed to halogen even with my last 64 Electra convertible, no need to mess around fits straight in; but a huge improvment, plus I don’t use my car much at nights.

Is the reason you want paint for your riviera to do touch up repairs. Or. To do a full repaint .

One of the best tools for under dash work. Is one of those small LED lights
that fit around your head ,marvelous.

I understand now. Kev, probably best solution is a little heat on the housing,
then small tap with metal hammer.

Sorry had trouble loading photos, doing with my phone.
all purchased in USA when I lived there, best one is at the bottom, unbranded
nest best is the top one all it says is made in Taiwan , then the 3rd best is the middle one it is a Chanel lock
which is a very good brand but it’s a little on the light and small for Buicks. Good for a lot of European cars.
sorry forgot where I purchased these years ago.

I’m assuming you were trying to remove housing either because it had a leak, or that you were doing an oil change and changing the filter by removing the complete filter and housing together
If you don’t have leak at the housing ,
do as RivNut says, but reattach bolts to housing firmly, then remove filter as normal with a good reputable oil filter tool,or like XframefX says drive screwdriver through as a last result to remove , although filter should Never be that tight to have to remove that way like RivNut says. I will send photo of one of my best oil filter removal tools when I get home later. Regards.

Ed , Others here will probably disagree with me here, but I would ask $ 10,000,
my reasons are it’s the first year generation, every option, you name it it has every option.
The person that buys it would have a fabulous example after restored ,and ten years from now
will be probably worth at least fifty percent more ,than todays market if restored.
Also if the buyer was able to restore a lot him self ,would be worth the effort.—— good luck.

Hello if you go to eBay or bring a trailer there is a few for sale. They usually show photos dash.
sorry I owned a 73 years ago but don’t have a photo you require.

Helo. If it’s mid fifty’s you own. You have a hydraulic switch mounted on the brake pipe distributor fitting near the master cylinder, The switch is closed by hydraulic pressure when you apply the brakes. That switch is probably faulty and needs to be replaced,——-old Buick parts——or another Buick parts outlet.

All looks great , when sourcing water pumps. You have a few choices, forgot who sells them , but someone sells a high performance one has slightly higher or more vanes. Etc but costs about forty dollars more. May be worth looking into that just thought let you know before replacing. May be best offer counts, sorry I can not remember and my computer crashed last night— doing this on my phone , good luck.

Dan o:::fabulous 49. Leave it just like that; in fact will be come more desirable
as time goes on , better than a fully painted example, It’s a show stopper, good on you.

Zimm63, if your drier does not have a sight glass, just test with a normal recharging hose and gauge tester,
couple of photos to show, just charge to the max on the green side ,but see the ambient temps are important when
charging,--ignore my 134a, as its the same with 12r,-- i have switched to 134a because im in Australia.
Dont be afraid to do it your self as its very easy ,.--Also if you do have a sight glass , dont just rely on getting a clear
look , as even when your a/c is working great its not always clear---just rely more on the gauge.
If ever you let air into the system it is best to fit a new receiver drier. my photos show me recharging a Porsche 911
a couple of years ago, but its the same with your Buick, should be able to obtain about 40--45degress.
that photo is of Ez chill , very good from USA it also has the small amount of oil that is required as well.

1964 Riviera Body to Hood Bumpers
in Buick Riviera

Dan, probably most of forum members here use steel rubber products,
they have them for $9:19 each, may be a bit more expensive, but there product
is superior and will fit .——you could try and trim yours with a sharp new box knife.
