You can also use 34x4 1/2 25" rim. The speedo cable is the same 21 to 23 and maybe more years. JB 22-6-55 Sport Touring

The water dist tube is painted black thru 1923,repros are available. A large one piece pan held by springs was used instead of one for each side. Try Universal tire in PA. Looks like a nice older rest. JB 1922-6-55 Sport Touring

Tom, As the half nuts wear, it gets harder to turn. The shop manual has the procedure to dissemble and repair the steering box. You can find reprinds of the shop manual on ebay or Buick Heritage Alliance. JB 22-6-55 Sport touring

Tom, It sounds like you need the dist. drive clutch. Mark's post my have it. They can get over greased and slip. Is yours broken? JB

Tom, 4 cyl or 6cyl ??? Do you need a starter/gen unit, or the gear set in the bellhousing? JB

Tom, I may have an interest in the parts, call me. John

Keith, Make shure you have big enough cables, 2/00 or 3/00. any smaller than that you will have slow cranking problems. JB

Sounds like you have several valves stuck open. Remove the head and free up the valves that don't move,(penetrating oil and a small plastic hammer). Be gentile when pushing the stuck valves down. JB

Is there an electronics engineer out there that can offer a conversion to change to + ground???? JB

Velleman has ignition kits and use the orig points and coil, witch removes the high current from the points and the points will last for many years. Check out Velleman kit #K2543 JB

gpdc, When adjusting brushes , the gen brush must lift before the starter brush contacts the armature. Sometimes new gen brushes are too long. Good Luck, JB

Dennis, Does 40% low mean all the cyl. are low? If all cyl. are low it could be the pistons installed are not the correct compression hight,(wrist pin ctr. to top of the piston). The timing chain would have to be very worn to cause a problem. JB

Tom, I have 2 of them. Send pm JB

Rod, Buick Heritage Alliance has reprints of the 1920 parts book for $85 # 00302 JB 22-6-55 Sport Touring

[h=1]: Buick 6 cilinder from 1923 serie 23.6.45[/h]Dave , Check this post about Marvel posts. Your carb looks correct for a 1923. John

Terry, Olsen's gaskets has the gaskets you need. Check ebay for the shop manuals I think there is at least one. The manual will tell you how to remove the gen/starter, you have to remove the cover and then carefully drive out the pin in the water pump coupling and slide the coupling back towards the pump, then the three nuts to remove the unit. JB 22-6-55 Sport Touring

I have copies of a 23 parts manual, or you can go to the Buick Heritage Alliance, I think they have reprints of the parts manual also. JB 1922-6-55 Sport Touring

Hidden-hunter, You can remove the valve plate and block the pipe to the carb. It was needed when gas was like kerosene. I think a lot of us here have done this on our cars that have carb heat. JB 1922-6-55 Sport Touring

Hi Fred, Are these brass or alum. ?? I need 2 plated brass ones for the 55, also need measurements as mine are bigger then the alum. ones used on the 40 series cars. JB

I checked the book and Buick 1927 to at least 1931, used a Jaxon #34 rim and is was black. JB
