  1. 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
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. Send me the part # stamped on the manifold to verify with the one motor I have. Yes, I am going to part it out.
  5. I need to remove the transmission from the engine. Buick - Model 90 - 1931. I am a newbie so be gentle. Rufus
  6. 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.
  7. Calling all collectors - Looking for an exhaust manifold for a Buick - 1931 - Model 60. Can be contacted at rufuscanti27@gmail.com.
  8. I used to fix truck tires in my youth and the lock rings were the main problem... many people got hurt when airing up the tire. Since we are speaking of rings; I am looking for 2 of them. I purchased a 31 about 2 years ago and the both of the spares had broken lock rings. Mine are 19" tires. miguel
  9. 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
  10. 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
  11. 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
  12. Where did you get the wiper blades? I am working on mine and need both blades. Tomorrow....is the Ignition.... points, condenser, coil, cap, rotor.... first time... Will try to start it in about two weeks... I hope.
  13. 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.
  14. Okay, found this number on the chassis next to the pax side wheel..... 2566116.
  15. I have tried to turn it around and it still shows upside down. I took the pics with me cell phone, sent them to myself, saved a copy and this is what I get. Thank you for the help so far. Going to drop the fuel tank today. Miguel

  17. 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
  18. 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.
