I reconditioned my clutch (mine is 10 plates) with much help from Hubert. It works perfectly now. I made this video during the job:

I thought most people used bumper jacks in those days. My father when I was a kid acted like bumper jacks were the standard thing. I never saw a scissor jack until the 1960s and we thought it was a weird European thing. But I never heard of anybody jacking up a car by the brake drum, that's nuts.

Right. I saw no vacuum tank either.

Does this Buick use gravity for the fuel feed? I see no vacuum tank, and the red car at the top of the thread has the tank up pretty high. Interesting.

Model G is a 2-cylinder with the engine in the glove compartment

My head hurts.

It seems to me that if you have two 6V batteries connected in series that will be 12 V no matter where, but maybe you can show us how you made all your connections and switches and diodes and solenoids and transistors so we can do the same, lots of people want a 6V / 12V car including me.

The service brakes on this car are external contracting on the drive shaft. That means it doesn't have a torque tube. I guess that explains why the rear leaf springs are not cantilever like later Buicks.

Now it's $24,000 I'd love to get it but I don't want a pre-1914 Buick. Love me a starter motor, I'm too old to be hand cranking anything. https://hcca.org/acadp_listings/1910-buick-model-19-original-running/?fbclid=IwAR0GCamhW7J3MSuOq8UA0rlFQHaAP7yiAlq6OXl-XSIKwS7JbU91VFRpScI

I was lucky to have a spare E-49 when I was fixing up my driver. Whenever I found a bolt where the head was rounded, etc., I simply got the exact same bolt off the other car. I probably took 100 parts, mostly small ones like this, off the spare one, about 10 of the grease cups were broken or missing, and there they were. Luckily, the spare car was just as rusty as my driver and rust matches rust, you can't tell the difference!

I can't tell from the pic but is that even a roller lifter? Lots of Buicks had roller lifters, even the 1902 Buick they used to draw the patent for overhead valves had roller lifters: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Overhead_valve_engine#/media/File:Valve-In-Head_1904_patent.jpg

I have a spare 242 engine. The roller wheel on the lifters is 15/16 diameter.

The Russian motorcycle company Ural makes bikes with chains in the back for snow and ice, with a detachable 3rd wheel in the back to get 2 wheels on the ice with chains and 2 wheel drive. I don't think any of the Siberians care about getting cold hands and pinky toes. If you get cold, drink woodka

This is how automobiles were driven in the 1920's

My 1929 Buick master parts catalogue says 1916 / 1917 D engine connecting rods changed at engine number 205993 part number 33914 connecting rod assy connecting rod assy up to engine 205993 part number 35373 connecting rod assy after engine 205993

Sloan is on my bucket list

I wonder why fur coats for men were so popular in the 20s

In the winter my car has white walls. The white stays outside the walls.

Here's a guy with a model D and it's a T-head

Here's another pic of the Model 19 engine, it has a gasoline primer cup on the dashboard that sends gas into the intake manifolds.

Note: the lists also say the model 21 is a 255 engine with a T-head, but my friend with the model 19 also has a model 21 and it's OHV

So the lists all say the model 19 had T-head 255, but it clearly has a valve-in-head. The D, S, H, and K have a 255 engine, but it's T-head? 5, 6, and 7 have a 336 T-head?

I updated my list to say model 14 is L Head, and I see the 255 engine was clearly OHV not T Head (model D, model 19) I like to keep things as accurate as possible. I have corrected many errors in it. https://www.hyzercreek.com/Buick.html

What threw me off was this which has a lot of errors. It says T-4 for some engines instead of I-4 http://www.caaarguide.com/1907_1919buick.html

This says the 19 used a model D engine, which I heard was a T-head. The ad describes a valve in head engine with exposed push rods. I don't understand.
