Looking for a 1929 Oldsmobile water pump

Thank you so much for the quick reply and the "back-up lights" issue. Kind regards, Claude Lavoie

Would any Buick aficionado help me rewiring my 1931 8-67. I need a wiring schematic as the actual wiring looks like a bowl of stale spaghetti. There is also what looks like a relay just underneath the cowl panel, on the interior side of the firewall. No wiring is attached to it, but I'm sure there is a purpose to it (headlight relay perhaps?). Thank you kindly. Claude Lavoie #48421

That makes sense, maybe it was a vacuum pump. Thanks for the replies. Claude Lavoie

Can someone help me with this. My '31 Buick has what appears a dual chamber fuel pump, sort of two pumps in one. I'm sure those who have seen one know what I mean. Now some previous owner disconnected the lower part of the pump, leaving the "in" and "out" open, therefore using only the top chamber to pump the fuel. Yet the pump works properly. So what is the purpose of the lower part of the pump as I point with my finger on the attached photo? Thank you for your kind help. Claude Lavoie

Hi Joel, On my 1931 model 67 Buick (4 door sedan), the measurement is exactly 60", measured at the same place as you show in your pictures. Hope this helps. CHEERS! Claude Lavoie

Re: 1931 Buick model 60. I am trying to remove the wood spokes from the felloe / rim in order to refinish them, sandblast the rim and refinish the parts to make the wheels as good as new. Would anyone know how to dismantle the artillery wheels for this car? I have removed the 15 rivets that hold the felloe to the rim, but I believe that the felloe and rim are "rust welded" together. Still, I am not sure that the felloe and rim have to be separated to remove the spokes. Thanks for the help. Claude Lavoie
