  1. I tightened down the lid TIGHT.. started it and no oil cascading from under the lid. I appreciate the help.
  2. Yes. New one. I guess i need to tighten it to the extreme?
  3. Just assembled the oil canister and new filter. Plenty of pressure pushing oil in but it overflows. I drained it and found the small hole on the top of the center pipe and it is not clogged. Any suggestions? When I start the engine i took the top off and there is a good amount of oil coming in. No way it can escape that fast through that little hole.. does the lid need to be tightened extremely tight?
  4. https://transmissionadapters.com very beefy and installed flawlessly.
  5. I am going to cut the line running from the manifold to the pump and place a "Tee" to go to the trans. The other part will continue to the vacuum pump. I will then cap the end that use to go to the wipers. I appreciate it greatly.
  6. So just a "T" between the intake and pump. Run a hard line, with small rubber section at trans and that is good? What about the line that ran to the wipers? Cap it or just leave it open to vent?
  7. I am building a custom Buick, (1923 Buick fenders, cowl, running boards, seats) sitting on a 1948 Buick chassis with straight 8 engine. I have mated it to a new TH350 trans from TCI. How do I get the vacuum to the trans? Can I use the vacuum line that was originally intended for the wipers that comes off the vacuum/fuel pump? Also, any info on what needs to be hooked up to the trans? I know I am deleting the kickdown cable. I will have a trans cooler.. What about the other ports? Not used? My main concern is setting up the vacuum line, but I am new to the 350 transmissions. I appreciate any help.
  8. What type of lubricant did you use on reassembly?
  9. I will give that a try. Picture of the rear attached as well. I appreciate it.
  10. I need some help. I want to use this switch (pic attached) on a custom build. The body is a 23 Buick sitting on a 1948 Buick frame. I am using the Buick straight 8 as well. The car is being converted to 12v since the frame did not come with any wiring. I will be using headlights (no high beams), horn, turn signals, and two brake rear tail lights. Very basic. Can someone please help me figure out a diagram to hook up the wires to this switch? I appreciate it greatly.
  11. Looking for a 1923 Buick 4cyl radiator cap. Should be 2” ID.
  12. Thanks for the info. Can you provide a wiring diagram for the switch? I appreciate it.
  13. Great info. I have a Kellogg 1159 switch I need to get rebuilt for a custom car build I am doing. It doesn't appear to be to bad though. Any companies or people do this? I reached out to Bobs Automobilia and they responded that do not know anything about these switches or have any parts. Also, will this work with a 12v system? Any help is greatly appreciated.
  14. I am interested. What are you asking for it?
  15. I would prefer to sell everything together. If it goes a month without selling, then I will start piecing it out.
  16. 1923 Buick, I was told a model 35 touring. Frame, engine, trans, driveshaft, front and rear axles, gas tank for sale. Make offer. Located in Crestwood, KY 40014
  17. Can anyone help with parts interchange? I am just diving into this and am not knowledgeable on Buicks. I appreciate it.
  18. Looking for a 1948 Buick steering column with gear indicator and switch lever to work with the dynaflow trans. Also a steering wheel
  19. I just bought an early Buick that need a lot of work. I need to know what I have. The chassis tag is small and oval on the left side toward the front. It says 944362. The engine tag has 1016190. Not sure if it is original engine to this chassis or not. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
