I purchased 2 new ones for the Skylark in 1986, and my cost was $ 99.00. I think after that time they were discontinued. Wish I had them now.<P>JIm Schilf / palbuick@aol.com

I think I hae what you are looking for , posted the list last year. I have a salesmans pocket directory from 1969, It list all options and codes and prices. Only problem is the print is very small and hard to read when copied. I will try to make copies asn see how they turn out, If interested in this lis let me know.<P>Jim Schilf / palbuic@aol.com

Ther is one little thing you should purchase before removing unit. A plug for the rear trans, this will keep the fluid from running out all over the floor, a big mess. Available at most auto supermarket stores.<BR>It slips over the rear shaft splines and seales the flud from leaking, once the unit is on floor or stand and level it can be removed. Remember the ground straps also.<BR>Good luck<BR>Jim Schilf / palbuick@aol.com

Several years ago I was in need of front springs for my wildcat. I located a hot line a 800 number to TRW, I talked for several minutes to a technician about my needs , I was told that original springs were not available but after checking specs on springs he was able to locate a spring of the correct height and tension to replace my original ones. Fit perfectly,and car was level. You might try an older parts store and get a tech number line.<BR>Good luck<P>Jim Schilf / palbuick@aol.com

Which light cover do you need? On some models there is one in the center of roof, others have one on each side of inside sail panel.

There are several years that buick published a parts and illustration book for one year only. I believe that 1964 was the first and each year until 1969 this book was published.<BR>If you can find one for your year car they are great. All had a RED cover and about 2 inches thick and covered all models of that year.<BR>I recently purchased a parts book on E-Bay, a Master chassi and body dated Juli1 1962.<BR>Both books had the same issue date, and covered from 1940 to 1962. They are around.<P>Jim Schilf / palbuick@aol.com
