Bob, I am not yet allowed to message so my email is km@classicmotorworks.com Thank you and the other for so much help! Kevin

What is but purpose of this hose? As for the under seat heater I suspect it may have been removed and bears further investigation

As always one thing leads to the next. What started as a leaking heater hose “how hard could this be to fix” project is a bit more challenging that other similar jobs that I’ve done. Because the hose ends up and inside the fender will take some time I only want to do it once. I notice that there are what appears to be a third small curved hose up in the outlet/inlet area. What does it do? Is it a mounded piece? It looks like using a short section of heater hose will cause it to kink. Lastly I cannot find any sign of an under seat heating system of any type. If it was removed where did the hoses for it terminate. 1958 Buick Special kevin

Yes mine is a Super. I fooled around for a couple of minutes today and there is power to both the L and the R turn signal bulbs when the left is on. I have a wired diagram and will just have to start at the beginning and work my way to the end. I noticed that there were several flashers in the other "spares/junk" that came with the car. I will have to figure out that part of the circuit and see where it goes. Thankfully the only chips in the car are in my picnic basket.

You sure can cure a lot of ills by cleaning up grounds can't you?

I bought it from my lifelong best friend. He was probably a third or fourth owner. It was built in CA and I think stayed it's life there. These is a surprising amount of rust underneath. Not Minnesota salt rust but rusted bolts, trunk floor wiith small holes etc. Guess 60 years will do it. Could have been near a beach as well

I am sure you are right. I am inching further and further from home till I get it sorted. When I turn on the left turn signal both rear lights flash. Shouldn't be too hard to track down but don't want to get too far until then.

Thanks boys! That's what it looked but seemed odd. Yes my Buick is on the road. I am removing 60 years worth of grease, grime and lord knows what else underneath the car. Previous owner did a nice job with the body, interior, engine and hopefully the transmission. It had some pretty good drips showing but I think quite a bit of it was ATF coming from a leaking low pressure power steering hose, dripping down the endine and blowing back onto everything. I have a small leak from the front seal of the differential. I've spend several days underneath it and hope that I am done at least for now. I'm not as young as I used to be. I have restored many cars over my lifetime but I am doing my very best not to fix things that aren't broken or only minor issues. Usually when I start on a new car by the time I come to it is in pieces on the floor. I just want to drive this one and the hell with perfection

I'm replacing my Stabilizer Bar Links. The new replacements have longer spacers and bolts. It seems to me that they will be OK since I think the motion between each of them is realtive. Any thoughts? Kevin

Working underneath my new to me 58 Buick. What is this little tube coming out of the top of the transmission?tube? Is it a transmission vent? If so does it just vent where it is or does another hose need to be attached? Kevin
