Hello, my grandfather, Paul Meister passed away in 2021, he left me his beloved 1932 series 80 Victoria Coupe. I can remember when my grandfather purchased this car when I was very young, I’m 33 now.
Shortly after he purchased the car he had carb issues. I don’t know the details or where the original carb ended up, but from what I understand the carb that is on it now came off of a older Packard. This carb doesn’t perform like I originally remember this car running, with that big ole straight 8 out front. This car seems to always run rich and gets sluggish especially in the hills.
After all that back story, I need some help. I’m very mechanically inclined, I even restored a 1946 Chevy 1.5 ton truck from the ground up a few years back. This Buick is restored to original condition. I would really like to get this car running better, or even find the correct carb for it. I know that’ll be expensive if even possible. I’m hoping someone here can offer some helpful advice! Thanks for reading!!
