  1. Looks like a scam. Verify before moving forward
  2. Speaking of alignment, What kind of alignment is needed for a Buick? My model is 34 Buick series 68C? Is it just the front wheels or all 4 wheels can be aligned ? I prefer to get white wall radials after aligned thanks Robert
  3. Lucas tire only goes to 1946. Ugh. Was hoping it went further
  4. Hello i have a small leak from the copper pipe that connects to oil cooler and engine block. The original 1/2 “ compression sleeve ( ferrule) won’t tighten or move . Having a hard time at local hardware stores finding the correct compression sleeve, the 1/2 ODO they sell is too large and their copper tubing isn’t t thick enough. My micrometer shows outside copper tube thickness as .055 Other club members suggested a refrigeration or HVAC hardware supply may have them? Anyone have any NOS for sleeves and copper or any other suggestions ? I also noticed it had lots of crud inside the cover. Maybe someone used paint sealer on inside cover? Thanks Robert
  5. Hi Mart can you please post your other pics. Myself and a few other 34/35 owners may have interest in other parts you have thanks Robert
  6. Welcome to the Buick forum. Hope you have many fun days driving your Buick ! Cheers Robert
  7. Looking for a working vacuum advance. Willing to buy with distributor if required thanks Robert 714-397-2809 natdash1@yahoo.com
  8. I went to Hershey for the first time last year. I did go to the white tent and the volunteers were nice and gave me a list of spots to visit. But I had no luck with any of the spots. Didn’t find any items for a 34/35 Buick Guess my dad bought all the parts over his 55 years walking Hershey 😇 i did make a sign that I wore on my front and back that got me some success with people approaching me with parts that had at home. The sign said WTB-WTS Buick part 1934-1935 with my name, cell and email.
  9. I put my own fuse box in for safety. A re-wire harness would needed to be routed under the dash anyways to connect to new fuse box
  10. Congrats on all your hard work. I replaced my whole wire harness in 2022 with help from my buddy Richard Delgado. My 34 Buick 68C has 3 separate wire harness, I have all 8 of my "light switch" similar to yours working. My series has a floor foot switch that allows high/low beam ( city/country) driving per the manual. Does your have this option, think it came out in 1934. You can also contact Gene Zdunowski @ YNC wire harness in Redlands, Ca 909-798-1498. he gave me a detailed wire diagram. They make wire harness or will sell you the wire, loom, connectors, etc.. ( I bought overstock spools of 10/12/14 gauge and built it myself ) You can DM me if you want extra details on your connections. here is another thread that may be useful. https://forums.aaca.org/topic/386670-looking-to-make-my-own-1933-buick-67-wiring/#comment-2445973 Cheers Robert
  11. We just shipped a complete steering wheel attached to column as one piece, we boxed the wheel in a box and the lower light switch in a separate box. it shipped with no problems.
  12. Thanks Pete great detail my 1934 68C Has wheelbase of 128.0 inches, quick jack also sells an extensions I could look into if needed.
  13. Are these Costco "Quickjack" garage jacks/lift safe for a 5k Lbs. Buick, will they safely lift the Buick up from the frame or will they damage the frame? Lifting capacity shows up to 7k Lbs.
  14. i see you have the 4 mechanical brake rods, wonder if you have the rear mechanical brake cables that connect to the two rear rods ?
  15. I just completed my new wire harness for my 34 Buick 68C Glad i did, I had my good friend Richard Delgado help ( Richard also replaced and made his harness himself for his 33 Buick 90L and has a nice schematic of his work ) I bought 10 "over stock" spools of 100' wire each a different color, sizes of 10, 12 and 14 Gauge for about $450 and another hundred for loom, connectors, shrink wrap from https://www.ynzyesterdaysparts.com/ YNZ wanted $1,100 for the harness and extra $300 for added turn signal/directional wire and relay for $1,400 total. I wanted to keep my car "original/preservation" category and was told from many sources that keeping your car "safe" with a new wire harness doesn't really work against any "judging" or whats needed for a safe driving car. I also added in a fuse box under the dash so i needed to modify the new harness anyways to be routed to the new fuse box. What i can also tell you, I know where every single wire goes and for what purpose, I removed some badly worn out insulation behind the firewall cover and replaced with non-original heat shield for my own safety, nobody can see that anyways. While you are laying under the frame it was a good time to clean and inspect the underside anyways. I asked YNZ wire how much for the labor to install and they said they don't offer that anymore with the liability and cost of insurance. I kept my 6 volt system in place. My harness was in essence 3 sections, I decided to run extra long wires and crimp/solder/heat wrap after loom is all routed thru the frame. It would be horrible to be a few inches shy with a new harness. I also have a battery kill switch mounted in front of passenger side seat ( no need to lift seat any longer to disconnect battery ) Just my 2 cents, but just by buying a new harness, you still have to pull out your old wire harness and install a new one so the labor time is the same. HTH Robert
  16. Hello Sir i have about 6 sets of front headlights not sure what I am taking to Hershey ill go thru inventory this week
  17. Howdy Marty I got a few xtra sets but not in beautiful shape as yours, they need a chrome dipping My dad put a 3rd light socket in the rear tail light to be used as directionals and they fit pretty good 😇 Looking forward to seeing you Marty @ Hershey
