Thank you for my education on this. I just was not aware of this switches characteristcs. I am now. I will follow your advice on correcting the switch and then run a separate circuit for the auxillary lighting keeping it isolated from the main control switch. Again, thanks

There is no problem with the lighting circuit. I was testing to see if auxillary lights could be hooked up to the headlight terminals behind the headlight mounted on the inner hood. My test exceeded the voltage of the breaker and triggered it. The test obviously failed and was disconected, but the lighting system does not return to normal. thanks

The Thermo Circuit Breaker on my 1937 Buick Special headlight switch has been activated and is now making all lights fluctuate on and off. Is the thermo circuit breaker able to be reset? There is no currantly active short in the lighting system. Or, can one find a replacemet circuit breaker which is detachable from the main switch as stated on the shop manual

I am ready to return this rebuilt carburetor as there would be an uncovered hole not covered by the three hole throttle base. This side hole connects to the bottom of the starter switch in it's housing. The switch is missing and I don't know it the car would peddle start without it.....and I would have to retrofit a choke heater tube....and make a throttle reverse plate for the peddle linkage. The question is: Is this all too involved as I am not o carb person. Other wise I need to find someone to make the Marvel dependable. Last time I drove it I came home with a tow truck. Help

Thank you for your replies and advice. I think I will join BCA, 3638 Buick Club as well as AACA which I am already registered. This car was restored with no expense spared by Doug Seybold as his personal vehicle. It won 1st Place Senior Division in 2008 and again in 2014. When I received it it had 121 miles since complete restoration. To me it is a work of art as well as a fine machine.

I was aware that both were used in 37, I had read that the Stromberg might have fewer issues. This frame up restoration has won 2 previous AACA first place show awards and I did not want to do something to compromise it. I should call Mr. Seybold and inquire. I believe it had sat for a few years prior to my purchase and the carb is probably gummed up inside. Perhaps a kit if I can locate one and a pro carb person could redeem this issue. Thank you

just acquired beautiful older Seybold restoration. Does changing the carb to Stromberg from Marvel destroy the originality? I do want to drive this occasionally. Or are there tips to make the Marvel more reliable. I have not had an old car in 50 years or so and want to enjoy this one while I can. Thanks
