sounds like distributer is worn. install new shaft & bushings and that should get it running better. lots of online suppliers for model A parts to choose from. tips for removing the old bushings and reinstalling new ones can be found on youtube. you will need a 1/2" reamer for the bushings after they are installed.

ScottA these wheels are for Standard models and will not interchange with Master 1928-47.

According to the 1929-54 Chevrolet Parts book online, item # 5.855 Bearing-race, axle shaft, 1930-33 uses ND 1101 and below is a pic of one on ebay for sale. Spend some time looking through this parts book and verify what codes LS, M, N, O in the book are referring to. Differential bearings will be a different number.

When I bought the windshield for my Buick there was a visor made by Sunbeam attached. I later saw an identical visor on ebay with green ribbed glass

Distributer is the same unit used on both Master and Standard and will fit 1926 thru 1928. Standard timing gear will fit 1925 thru 1928 according to the Master Parts book 1916-1932. I get a lot of use from my parts book. Removing a broken distributer - these pics tell the story. I removed a broken 1925 distributer with a shop press by setting the housing on a bearing race just large enough to clear the broken piece and pushing it out from the smaller hole in the bottom. 1928 might not have that hole at the bottom.

Running boards are wood planks.

The crank hole cover should identify it as 1931 Chevrolet. 1930 has an air deflector with smaller crank hole cover below the radiator. Not sure if the one piece bumper on this one is correct.

This thread has a checklist of items that need checking on a car that has been sitting for years.

Bob's Automobilia is one of the few suppliers of new parts for early Buicks. The website is kinda glitchy and the Standard timing gear does not appear to be listed now. Below is a pic that I saved from the old website a few years ago plus the Master timing gear which does come up by searching for "timing". Call Bob's and ask them.

Chevrolet also used those same type of sheetmetal screws. Try calling parts suppliers for Chevrolet and see if they have them in stock. I did a quick search on both of these websites and did not find them. My 48 Chevrolet used the same fasteners and I had to clean them up and paint them.

Edit: Filling Station does have them.

The cab more than likely began life as a Two door sedan and was transformed by some creative cutting and welding.

Lots of photos of Victory 6 chassis on this thread that match the above "Duesenberg" chassis. Someone saw a "D" on the hubcap and thought of Duesenberg $$$

That underside is really clean ! Almost too clean. Probably should check all oil levels and squirt some grease in all the fittings to be on the safe side. Two door sedans are notorious for sagging doors due to the width and weight especially on a wood bodied car. The amount of sag appears to be around 1/4" to 3/8", but with the doors closed the dovetail could be supporting them. How much do they sag when the doors are opened ?
You really don't need to measure the wheelbase to confirm it to be a Standard. A two door sedan was not offered in the Master series in 1928. There are two more items on mid 20's Buicks that can be used to identify Standard from Master models. Master rear wheels have 6 acorn nuts visible at the hub, and Standards have 12 carriage bolt heads. Master models used a coolant collector manifold that splits into 3 tubes mounted to the top of the head ; Standard engine coolant return uses a single pipe at the front of the head.
Overall it looks like a nice Buick.

It looks like a nice restoration that would cost a lot more than $15k to restore today. Model 20 is the smaller series called Standard which has a 114-1/2" wheelbase. Master models have a 120" wheelbase and a larger engine. Somewhere here in Buick pre-war is a thread that details everything that should be checked before starting a car that has been sitting for several years.

Trying to identify this door sill plate part number 338557. It has nearly identical etched diamond pattern as 25-45 sill plates but does not have the Buick logo. 338557 number falls somewhere in the 1926-1928 range. 17-1/8" long so should be a rear door. Anyone recognize it ?

Good Evening! I am new to the forum and I recently purchased a 27-24 roadster. I would be very interested if you are still producing these body wood kits.
thanks for your previous post's. Very informative.Hi Echofivelima
Kyle Sliger "Sligermachine" has sold his machine shop and moved. His roadster is a Master model 25-44 so the wood patterns he had would not work for a smaller Standard model 24. Start a new thread and show us some photos of your 27-24. Btw I am working on body wood for my 25-45 touring that was missing all the original wood.

Philco model AR-10. Generic aftermarket or was this model specific to any make of car in particular ? 1930's, 1940's, or 1950's ?
1929 Model A Ford - Engine Intermittent

After having similar intermittent issues, I was suspicious of the new foreign made condensors, so bought a NOS FoMoCo condensor on ebay. It turned out to be slightly longer and I had to drill & tap a new hole in the upper plate for the screw plus elongate the mount hole in the condensor so it would fit - just barely. After rebuilding the distributor, replacing the condensor, and sealing up the intake manifold vacuum leak, the car starts and runs pretty well now.
