  1. Where can I buy this stuff? I looked on the internet but no luck.Thanks.Greg
  2. Weird that it doesn't have a water jacket cover.I thought it would be basically the same engine.Mine also has the passenger side lifter cover.Maybe I'll find block freeze plugs when I remove the water jacket cover. Could you send a picture?Thanks
  3. Thanks. I don't drive it as much as I should.
  4. Someone said to leave it in for a couple of months, is that too long?
  5. Anyway to tighten up the passenger side rear view mirror to keep it in place? I've tightened up the large nut as much as I can but it still falls down.Thanks,Greg.
  6. I got in a hurry and installed the thermostat but I'll take it out tomorrow.I did install the stocking.Should it be closer to the top or bottom of the upper hose or dose it matter? I filled the radiator and now another problem. I have a vertical crack in my upper radiator tank about two inches ,someone said to solder it or would it be better to braze it? Thanks for any info.Greg
  7. While doing the evap-o-rust treatment should the radiator thermostat be left out or installed? 35 Buick.
  8. Thanks,I couldn't see any on the left side of the block.We're yours under the water jacket cover?
  9. Silly question,Dose a 233 engine have "freeze plugs"?If so where are they located? My shop manual has no mention of them.Thanks,Greg.
  10. That looks like a good one to restore for a reasonable price.
  11. Jim Nelson on this forum informed me that he's selling his 35 vickey sedan for $25,000. He has done many upgrades including hydraulic brakes,overdrive,a motor from a 38,not sure if it has a/c or not but I think so.It just needs the front to be wired.He's selling due to illness from prostate cancer so I'm praying for his recovery.The cars in Tampa,Florida.
  12. Thanks for all the replies. I used evap-o-rust about a year ago and will probably do it again.I noticed only four bolts on my 40 series jacket and it has a down draft carburetor unlike the larger series so it might not be too bad,I hope.
  13. I noticed some water stains on the drivers side of the engine block under the cover under the exhaust manifold.Dose the manifold have to be removed to remove the cover? Just wondered.I assume that's where my freeze plugs are located.Greg.
  14. Just posted on Space Coast Florida's craigslist.Sorry I can't do the ad but the spelling is good for a laugh.He wants a massage after four rings.I wonder what kind.Oh and it has a Goodwinch motor.
  15. Looks to me like it's been significantly changed.A friend in Florida is selling his 35 50 series for $25,000 due to being diagnosed with cancer.
  16. Just listed on Space coast Florida's Craigslist ,sorry I can't do the pictures(only two) it's a sedan though in white,Dose not look real bad from what I could tell.Says he needs it gone.
  17. I had a 1776 motor that I recently installed pistons/cylinders for a 1835 motor and installed larger heavy duty EMPI heads.It has a 110 cam which I think is o.k. Not knowing any better I used the stock flywheel,crank and rocket arm assemblies which I was told is a No No because the larger motor would come apart with those stock parts. As long as I don't race it and take it easy should I be all right or do I have to pull the motor and do the upgrades?( I hate that idea!).It still is running a little rough with my dual Kadrone carbs. but not bad. I'll address that issue first. Thanks,it's in my son's 69 Ghia.
  18. Good idea on the metal guard. Mine is mounted in about the same place as yours only on the passenger side without a guard.I also need to make one for my son's electric fuel pump on his v.w.
  19. My 35 has the two dimple stampings. Sorry my camera isn't workimg.
  20. I don't know about that but I heard that when they moved the dimmer switch to the steering column women were getting their foot caught in the steering wheel.
  21. After learning that cars in the thirties (maybe earlier) had certain city or state laws that prevented people from entering their vehicles from the drivers side,I was wondering was moving the shift lever to the colum a result of that law. I could see it being easier to slide across the seat without the shifter on the floor.Just a thought.
