Carmover look at the suction side of the water pump packing I had that problem and found it was the packing would not leak coolent but running it would suck air in and before long you had quite lot of air in the system try snuging the packing up some on the suction side of the pump did it have grease cups . On it did you fill them.

Mikefit replied to Morgan Wright's topic in Buick - Pre War
Hi I have run the Hill at The Newport Antique Hill Climb for over 16 years 1918 Dodge Brothers touring car. Makes no difference what gear holding the throttle wide open for Avery short period of time you are out of fuel and the vacuum is so low it can not replenish the fuel . It's using lots of fuel low vacuum and cannot keep up. MIKE -

Look at Ace Radiator in Fort Wayne Indiana they have a web site and been business since 47 they fixed up in a week and was not over priced

I'm still on the look out for a radiator but will fill you in on my experience. My radiator leaked bad from a crack in the lower tank. Took it to what I thought was an old school one man shop he fixed the crack in the lower tank claimed it was leaking at both super corners and tried to fix it well he called and said he couldn't fix it recommended another shop paid him and get my radiator back. I called Ace Radiator in Fort Wayne indiana they said bring it over and they were about a week out 2 hrs trip dropped off they called and said been better if I would have never let the first guy work on they did fix it less than a week also found other problems and fixed them price was very reasonable I worked with John ( he did the work and I think he is the owner ) if any others have radiator repair do not hesitate to call them 1 800 288 7964 have been in business since 1947 3rd generation Mike
