The head is high compression. Both still have perfect OLds dark Green paint. If interested e-mail me at palbuick@aol.com

Its like anything else. When working on something like replacing a timing chain, as long as it is apart replace all three parts. Do it once and probably never have to do it again. If its a straight eight it a pain in the A** to do. Jim Schilf palbuick

My old 49 Woody was body color. What a pain in the butt to repaint. Original color was Cirrus green. Jim Schilf palbuick

I would be great to have a site devoted to only jacks, as so many are looking for correct jacks, not that they would use them. I have my original 1940 Jack but would not use it, I opted for a 1956 Buick jack, it is a side frame jack, no damage to bumpers or body. I have a collection of old jacks about 25 some cast other steel, and would like to identify them. I find them at a lot of auctions in the farm belt, where farmers never threw anything away.

These old arm shocks should not be topped off. Too much fluid will blow out the seals, this is what may have happened to yours. Jim Schilf palbuick

Hi John It might be a little cheaper to just use tooth paste. The 2000 paper will take off the rough plastic, then try the tooth paste. Works great on old dry plastic taillights, brings back a nice shine. Jim Schilf palbuick

I heard many years ago that years ago the mechanics used furnace style sealer to seal these joints. This was a pliable material, probably asbestos mixture, of what, I don't know. I have seen some manifolds with a sealer in the two joints. Try an older Ace HArdware or independent hardware store. Menards, home depot, the people there would have no idea of what this is.

Hi Bill Your harmonic balance is the same for the 40-50 series from 1951 through 1953, regular steering, the 47 balancer has a different part number I may have a NOS balancer for the 1941 to 1950 40-50 series. Will check on friday, and let you know. Jim Schilf palbuick

HI John Its me again I used the plasticote on my 66 and 70 motors. I found that it was great, good color and a lot less burn off. I had tried one of the Buick vendors red engine paint, spilled some antifreeze on it and it stained the paint. Never bothered the Palsticote paint. Universal red was the color. Jim Schilf palbuick

A very old secret about the 66 Skylark arm rests. They are interchangable fro left to right and back. The under side of the bases don't get worn and look fairly good. If you need new ones try Chebby parts. or have yours replated. Jim Schilf palbuick

I don't believe that they were plated. Only had a zinc plating covering outside. In the Bucik club hand book there is an article on the colors of gas tanks. Your 54 may even have undercoating on it. Jim Schilf palbuick

Thanks for the information about the spot light. I was also guessing about the late teens or early twenties. This light looks like it had also been in an old barn/garage, for ages. Jim Schilf palbuick
