Howdy and I am looking for 2 pressure rings for the split rim. Diameter is too large (top) or too small (bottom). Also; I would like to know if there is another car that uses the same rim? Any help or leads will be greatly appreciated. Miguel

1931-32 series 60 exhaust manifold valve body, repair or replace
RUF replied to 32buick67's topic in Buick - Pre War
by chance; do you happen to have an "extra" manifold for the model 60 (part# 1239956-1)? I know someone that has a "spare" valve body. -
I am preparing to install both intake and exhaust manifold on my 31 model 60. What should I apply to the gasket (I have cooper) and if there a sequence to tightening the bolts so the exhaust manifold do not crack? I am new at this but can turn a wrench or two.

Send me the part # stamped on the manifold to verify with the one motor I have. Yes, I am going to part it out.

I need to remove the transmission from a 1931 Model 90. I have all the bolts off and it moves out about 1/4". What do I need to do to slide it out? Are there bolts attached to the flywheel? Yes, I am a newbie.

Howdy ya'll... I have the leakage on my 31 and I purchased the boot from Bob's. I currently have the rope seal but it leaking too much. I put the car on a friends lift and it looks quite difficult to do since I cannot dive in like the other guys.... I must walk into the waters. I am a Newby at Buicks and I am attempting to fix as many items I can. I need to do the exhaust, torque ball, steering box, need two pressure rings for my spares, and a few minor issues too. I read that the rear end must be pulled back in order to replace the boot or ad a seal or silicone it. If the rear end must be pulled back... to me... that is a task. I have no helper...just me, myself and I. Any photos, videos, or information that will make it easier for me....I would be much obliged. Great information above. By the way; I do not have a lift but something tells me that I will be needing one. Miguel

I used to repair tires in my youth, and some used nothing hold the lockring from flying off. My brother in law got hit by one and survived; others were not so lucky. We used chains, ropes, cages out of wood... but the metal cage ( it came later) is the way to go. If I have to change one them here; I will go to a friend that has a tire shop. I thank you for the information and the rims are the metal spokes (no wood) and I will keep looking.... there has to be some out there. Mike

I am searching for two 19" rim pressure rings. They are the ones that hold the tires in place. If you have them...send pic and price with shipping included. Thank you - Mike

I hear you guys and thank you for all the tips. I have thought about a few but you guys added very important tips that I would have probably not done prior to starting the car. Having said that; where do I get the gaskets for the areas that I am going to remove (oil pan, valve cover, etc.... Tomorrow; I plan to take a look at the cooling system. By the way; the fuel tank was quite rusty and the fuel intake that mount on the tank looks like it was rigged. I took the battery off (it was not easy) and the bracket is all worn out. I am going to try and build one or see if one can be purchased on line. Miguel I am having fun and I will get it started.

I just purchased a 1931 Model 90 (I think) with a motor/vehicle identification number of 29715583. I have never owned one and I would like to know how to start it. I have an idea but would like to learn the proper way. I am in the process of removing the fuel tank (rusted with a pin hole) but will try to start it with a fuel can on the trunk rack. Also, would like to know where to find parts for the car. I have looked on the web but chances are that I am not getting the right place. Any help will be much appreciated and will post pics later..... too many irons in the fire. Miguel

Howdy and I am a freshman at this. I have purchased a "1931" Buick Sedan (4 door) with a vin# 29715583. I have tried to find information, parts, and manuals to no avail. Chances are; I am not looking in the right places. I would like to know the model number and where I can get parts and other items.
