Hi, i am going to change the rear axle gearing on my 1940 series 50. Do i need to take of the rear axle or is there another way? Take care. -morten-

hi, is the transmission the same on the 1940 super and 1941 spesial? take care. -morten-

have sent you a pm. take care. -morten-

no water in oil?

check your engineoil for water.

Well, luckly your old one could be reused. Fine that you could return the faulty core.

Thats just great, and rather good timing also.

Wisegrip is a good tool for situations like this.

Hi, if one remove the hood, need one to remove the waterpump? -m-

Good luck.

Have not removed mine yet, but here is how i am told by the helpfull Daves1940Buick56S: ** If you want to pull the radiator the hood has to come off. The hood's a little dynamic once loose so it's best to do with 3 people, one on the front. The grille does not have to come off. The top piece over the radiator is part of the shell and front clip and does not come off. To remove the radiator, pull the water pump and remove the hood. Then take out the bolts holding the radiator on to the shell and lift up and back towards the top of the engine. It takes 2 people although I have been told that back in the day 1 mechanic with a strong back could do it standing on the front bumper. ** Bars Leak radiator fix!

i use electric ones my selves. a small 6v-12v converter costs next to nothing, and can be used for gps and other items.

migth do 30 minutes if it is raining.

yes it cools nicely. (but only the first 20 minutes, full of gunk i think).

you can have my old one, no leaks.

If it is broke, you can fix it. Bars Leak has a verry good radiator sealer. I have used it several times and are verry impressed. I would try that and hope it would last trew the summer.

you know what they say; if it aint broke, dont fix it.

i'll keep that in mind, thanks. can you pm me some contactinfo?

me to :-)

Hi, thanks for all answers. I made an offer on radiator, and it is now mine. Will put this in car now, and refurbish old radiator in due time. Take care. -morten-

hi, does anyone know where i can get a new radiator that will fit without to much hassel? alloy would be best, but would prefer as original look as possible. take care. -morten-

waterpump needs to be replaced, but electric fan is a good ad-on i think, more queues to day than back in the das. and they did use cotton bags with water in front of radiator to keep cool.

Since i am not a master of all trades, i relay on people chiming in :-) I normally put a thermostat in, and an override switch if thermostat fxxh"s up. Since the buick is 6v i would problably wire it threw the ignition. And a relay. But do not always use a fuse even thow it is always a good idea?

For now, just a flipp of the switch, but will put in a thermostat shortly.
