  1. Dear forum mates, I'm still working on this car and have not found yet a couple of taillights lenses for it (at a reasonable price) I posted a topic long time ago: The 2nd part I'm looking for is the horn button.Both parts are broken somewhere.(see attached pictures) so I would need one in good condition. Third issue is the carburetor.The present one (I believe) is a EE-22,I know how difficult and expensive is to find one.The main problem is the main body or float chamber -where must be some crack is sealed with some kind of paste and there's a gas leak(Bad picture in attachment with the numers almost erased) My question is if I can install alternative carburetor model that works well on this car.What about the modern Stromberg 97?I'll appreciate very much your advice. Another issue is I recently ordered on Ebay a tune up kit.Everything looked ok but the points,which were opposite shape compared with the ones installed.When I claimed to the vendor he argued the distributor was 1940-1948 Cadillac ( 1110807-4G1 on the tag) so the question is Can a 1940 distributor fit a 1936 engine or the whole engine could be have been swapped?Distributor picture attached too. One more part is being hard to find for me is the hood lace with the wire inside.I have found similar parts from Ford vendors but either don't have the wire inside or are narrower.So again thanks in advance for your comments about it. Many thanks in advance and Merry Christmas to all!!
  2. Hi Curti, I'm the Spanish guy who called you this week! I'll contact you again shortly to arrange the deal on those parts. Thanks so much!
  3. Dear forum mates, I would appreciate if you can let me know what oil filter canister models was the mentioned car equiped with.I think is a PUROLATOR but I need to know exactly the model of that brand and if there was alternative brands for the same application. On the other hand,we are looking for the part bolted on the engine that makes the revolution counter work.I imagine should be a kind of pinion as unfortunately the part is missing so I would appreciate a picture from that to make certain at least what we are looking for! Many thanks in advance!

  7. Dear forum mates, I'm looking for the mentioned part in good condition.Please check pictures. In case no one available,I would appreciate if you can help with information about where can I find it of if there is any company able to reproduce it. Many thanks in advance!!
  8. Tanks Matt and Owen for your answers. However my question is where to finf new wire wheels fitting that car. I'm aware there is a source for them as I have seen several 1936 120 convertibles adverted for sale equiped with them. Many thanks for your help.
  9. Hi Everyone!I need a set of new wire wheels for the mentioned car.I asked a quote for them at Coker tire and the answer is the order may take between 1 to 2 months!!Since I need them quickly I wrote to UNIVERSAL TIRE in PA but his answer was the following:''These wheels will not work on a 36 Packard. The offset on the wheel and the center bore will not fit the 36 or a majority of the 37s. On certain models the wheel fits but the cap can not be installed due to the cap on the hub of the axle''Now I'm even doubting about the ones offered by COKER as I could have the same fitment problem.Anyone could help about these possible fitment problems and where to find them quicker than 1-2 months??Many Thanks in advance!!
  10. Hello everyone, Just restoring the mentioned car here in Spain. We are finding very hard to find a clutch pressure plate for it and it's complicated to send the original one to the USA in order to get it fixed. I've seen the one for 1929 Ford A is quite similar....Any one coluld confirm if the Ford's one would fit the Studebaker?? Pictures from both the existing one and the new Ford A in attachement. Many thanks in advance!!
  11. Good Morning to everyone!! We are restoring the mentioned car here in Spain. As we decided to install hydraulic brakes on it, we ordered from MAC's a kit including rear and front backing plates ( parts numbers there ) 28 15308-1 & 28 258341. Once received we realized they don't fit at all!!! When installing the backing plates we realized the wheel cylenders are touching against the leaf spring so it would be difficult to install the brake hose.Please see enclosed picture number #1 Regarding the front ones we found also big problems... First one is the existing brake drums are smaller than the plates diameter.In addition the wheel hub bolts are not long enough to install the drums.....Please see pictures #2 and # 3 The plates supplied are flatter than the original ones (See picture #4) but we didn't know that when we placed the order. The only solution offered is to buy special brake drums for those backing plates,different wheel hubs than the originals etc. What would you do to go ahead with the hydraulic brakes upgrade?Basically I would need to know if any of you have done the same and are familiar with the parts I'm talking about from MAC'S (Ecklers) Many Thanks in advance!! 4 archivos adjuntos
  12. Hi everyone!! We are restoring the mentioned car engine,straight eight one Just looking for new pistons,main bearings and exhaust/intake valves.

  13. Hello everyone, I'd like to know if somebody here has used the floor panels from BUICK FARM since I'm planning to buy them for my Buick 1947 56-C restoration.If positive I would appreciate your feedback about fitting,metal gauge,if they are close to the orginal stuff etc. it seems Buick Farm hasn't got the sheetmetal for the trunk section.Any idea if any company fabricates it? Many thanks in advance for your answers!!
  14. HI Jack, Thanks a lot for your answer.I know how hard is to find parts for this car,specially these aren't interchangeable with the 4dr closed models...but anyway I'll keep searching. I have found on Hemmings Motor News an advert from somebody saying is parting out 3 1948 Buick convertibles but I have called to the phone number 5 0 6 times and he never answered...I'll insist, I need at least all the upper door moldingns and those around the folding top and maybe the rear fenders.. I'll try to post some pictures when I have some available. Best Regards!
  15. Thank you very much for your replys. I had the parts book and shop manual but I didn't know how to look for info on them. What I really need now is some help to try to find the parts I need: -Good source for motor mounts and the rest of the body boelts. -A good Buick specialist for rear fenders and some mouldings -Wiring harness -The best available reproduction floor and trunk pans. A would appreciate any information,living out of the USA makes the task double difficult!!
