Tim, I think the rims should be black, the rim catalog shows cad plated up to about 1926 ????? then black after. I'll check the book later. JB

Dwight, If you order pistons from EGGE make sure they have the correct compression height, (wrist pin center to crown, top of the piston). JB 22-65-55 Sport Touring

Dwight, You need to use a puller because the axle shaft has a nut on the other end inside the diff housing. Lief's pics show it both the assy pic. and the parts pic. of the axle shaft. The 4 cyl hubcap is under 3" ( 2 3/4 maybe). JB 22-6-55 Sport Touring

F&J I have an interest in the Buick chassis. Send a PM JB

Dwight, The larger rim sizes are easier than the 19" ones you are changing. A rim spreader will work , but be careful not to bend the rim. Rim spreaders are biggest cause for bent rims. JB

Jim, Check for spark, if none clean the points, when they sit open for a long time they can get coated with corrosion. emery cloth, then a dollar bill, the paper in the bill does a great job. JB 22-6-55 Sport Touring

Fred, The rear fenders for the 1921 1922,6 cyl cars are all look the same, the difference for most is the width at the top and possibly the mounting to the running board. You could use a narrower one and extend it to fit. John

Fred, You need to include the dimension across the top, from bolt hole to beaded edge. Rear fenders all look the same, 2 or three measurements is the only way to ID except part #'s. JB

Tom, Have you found anything yet?? If you take the brg caps off keep track of the shims. JB
