Thanks Gary, Will give them a call. Jim

Back on the Buick. So the under the heater has been repaired a few time, but another leak has just popped up. Getting tired of removing the front seat to take it out. Any suggestions on who will make a new one. Ok for it to be a modern core because you won't see it. (I will be the only one to know.) Thanks Jim

At this time it would also be a good idea to take measurements to make sure the frame is true and straight. And the more pictures the better.

Stunning. From the Jim Patterson collection.

I was in New Jersey for about 35 years. Moved to NE PA 2 Years ago. My last home in New Jersey was a condo in Morris County. Postage stamp size lot with 2 bedrooms and 2 1/2 bath, taxes were over $7000 per year. The house before that was on 2 acres with a 4 car garage and 30 x 48 pole barn with a modest size house. When I sold in the early 2000"s taxes were $14,000 and still going up. In NE PA 2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, 28 X 70 garage, and 15 acres.......taxes are $2200. Plus lets not even talk about the cost differential of car insurance.

Hi, I see you have not received a response yet. Try posting in the Cadillac section of the forum.

DOUBLE OUCH!!!!

Thanks for the clarification. I will check out the RED LINE gear oil. Jim

Thanks Ben. That's what I thought but wanted to be sure. JIm

HI all, The rubber oil lines that run from the oil filter canister to the engine block were all cracked and oozing oil. I removed before I thought about which line goes where. So my question is what line goes where. The block has the outlet at the bottom close to the oil pan and the inlet goes into the head. The oil canister has a threaded hole at the center on the bottom and the other is on the side close to the cover. Thanks again for everyone's help with my prior issues. Thanks Jim

I thought there were issues with using GL-5 in older vehicles because of yellow metal. Thanks Jim

Just 2 words......... VANISHING POINT

I think Don's son Dan is running the business.

I believe the sequence on the 1942 buick 320 st 8 is from the center out on one side then center out to the other end. Thanks Jim

Put 8 ft LEDS in the new garage, best thing I ever did. Jim

Thanks for the info on shark hide. Will check it out. Never heard of it. Thanks Jim

Can someone tell me what shark hide is??? Never heard of it. Thanks Jim

Thanks. Will check them out. Jim

AL W, Can you share who rebuilt the radio. I would like to have the one in my 1942 Buick rebuilt but have heard all kinds of comments both good and bad on the the rebuilders out there. Thanks Jim

Well after I put the horn ring back together properly, while calling myself every name in the book for being such a dumb a**, it worked. The horn did not go off as soon as I installed the ring as it did before. It took about 15 minutes of adjusting the plate to get all 3 spokes to work correctly. Neil, again thank you for all your help. And now onto the next issue. Jim

Neil, you are going way beyond helping!!!! I will change how I put it together and will let you know tomorrow. Thanks Jim

Continuing the horn assembly. Paper insulator and heavy spring on top of the horn ring. Placing plate on top of the heavy spring. pushing down the retaining plate. I did not take a picture of the little nuts on the studs, no insulators under the nuts. But are these the nuts that need to be adjusted. If you want to see more pics let me know. Thanks for all your help Neil. Jim

Neil, Some pics on how I put the horn together. If you see something not right, please let me know. Plain horn button, nothing done. Upside down. The rubber wedges that go under the horn spoke and the two sets of insulators over the studs. Light spring under the horn ring. Horn ring in place. Over the spring and studs through the holes. Will continue in another post. Thanks Jim

Neil, Will be sending some pics today. Thanks Jim

Neil, I may not have the button reassembled correctly. Do you remember how it goes back together?? I have the manual but it is very hard to see the diagram clearly. Thanks Jim
