    That is a very nice '56 Buick Super at a very fair price.  I suggest putting an ad with a picture in Hemmings Motor News.  It takes a while to appear in the magazine but it will immediately go on their internet site at no extra charge.  You can also put numerous pictures of the car on the internet site.  I have had very good results from advertising in Hemmings and you will reach a lot of serious buyers. 

    I am going to give it to the end of the weekend and then maybe go that route. I live on a busy road, so I may put it in the yard too.

  2. I think it's time to let the old girl go. I've had my fun, now it's time for someone else to care for her. More details in the ad. $8000 or trade for a jeep CJ or wagoneer.

    *update* After doing more research, It looks like I may have this priced a little high. I will do 8k for board members only.  I'm not going to lower the Craigslist ad. I figured she'd be in good hands with someone here.

    If you are looking at Wagoneers, check out some 2WD Tahoes and Yukons, the prices are pretty good and you might feel a little deja vu. Don't say no until you tried one.

    This would be for my wife. She loves the styling, so it's a wagoneer or bust. Thanks for the tip though.

    Scrape. Is unintended consequences a military term?  I think it as spilled over into civilian usage.

     

    The mess couldn't be any worse than the time I started a '56 Eldorado show car with the oil filter housing on the workbench.

     

    No one knew that until now.

    I'll see your filter housing and raise you 61 years and 3" of caked grease around upper control arm shafts just to get to the bolts. I filled up a grocery bag.

  6. I ordered new hood insulation and would like to do this correctly by taking off the hood. I learned a hard lesson a few years back removing doors from a 61 Ford I had...they were never straight again. Are there any tips you guys have for keeping spacing and alignment? Is it as easy as unbolting from the hinges and just putting it back? I've 

    never removed a hood.

  7. An identical 4GC, actually. Bought a refurbished one and the bog was still there. Frustrated, I found a  gentlemen who is a retired carburetor guy who rebuilt/refurbished it and the bog is almost completely gone.  I'm going to mess with the timing a little bit to see if I can get it completely gone.

     Thanks for response Wooly. I'm trying to visualize where the hinge point is.  is it on the firewall side in the engine compartment where it comes through.  Or is it inside the car we're goes through the firewall

    My problem was the pedal itself, right where it hinges. It had deteriorated to the point that the pedal basically collapsed when pressed. It was more obvious when I took it out and looked at the backside.
