Thanks again! Just found in the Q&A that 14 posts give clearance to send messages, so heres 13

This is my 12th post, wish me luck haha

Will do, thanks again!

Tried to send OldBuick2 a message but got a message saying I haven’t posted enough to send messages or some deal

Ooooooh man I was confused and thought the 2023 number was a different distributor. Much appreciated! I recall seeing a VC-21 or 22 that looked similar to what I need

Well the vacuum advance canister is indeed kaput, that certainly explains a lot ha! So now the question is where to find a replacement. I've looked online and pretty much all the ones I've found are for distributor model xxx-2023, we have an IAZ-4002A. Also cant seem to find any info on interchanging with others. I take that back, I did find one at 200 bucks oof.

New cap and rotor, coil is whatever the one the pertronix called for. I know I checked the vacuum advance before with the suck on the vacuum line test, but failed diaphragm does sound like it would be causing the tuning and vacuum leak issue. Going to double check when it's not freezing my nips off, will let you know

Hey everyone, also posted this at Desoto.org. Having some issues with my pals 53 Firedome with 276 hemi. Got it running pretty good, but driving notsomuch. It really feels sluggish at low speed, almost like a manual car starting off in second gear. It will shift after getting up to proper speed but it tough getting it there. Reverse goes great! Things we have done so far- Cleaned and rebuilt carburetor with mikes kit. Accelerator pump, float, and metering rods adjusted according to service manual. Idles great, revs great in neutral, bogs and sputters while driving, backfires through carb, power is low. Mixture screws do not effect running even at lower rpm. Tested for vacuum leaks with smoke machine, found small leak at carb plate, repaired, not much change. Timing is 5 btdc at 550 rpm, 15 btdc at 2k rpm. Plugs and wires replaced Pertronix ignition, 12v conversion, exhaust heat valve for choke removed. Mixture screws having no effect concerns me but I can’t seem to find any vacuum leak to cause it unless there’s another reason I’m missing. SOS!

Yeah, clutch already started to feel a bit funky so its parked until I fix it. Good times. Thanks for the reply

Hey all, My 46 Continental has a substantial oil leak coming from the small hole in pan where there is a cotter pin hanging from. Any suggestions? I'm thinking its the rope gasket and dreading pulling the pan. I'll follow up with pics later today

Im just going off of what the hood release handle says. Super.

Hi all, I have a 1942 4 door Buick Super rolling chassis for sale/part. Motor and trans are out due to me wanting to use in another project. Includes both bumpers, grill, a few boxes of misc trim, and a bunch of odds and ends. Im not well versed with these cars in general and looking for advice and/or offers. Car is fairly solid, rear seat floor has some rust, rockers as well. All big panels are solid and dent free. Interior has been gutted but the seat frames and springs remain. Im a bit at the mercy of a buyer because I can't find too much info as to what it's worth. Im not 100% attached to motor/trans so for the right offer, I'd be willing to part with them too. 248, dual strombergs, running, has crack in block. Open to offers, thanks! Oh btw, it's in Delaware and has a title.
