Ben P.,
1918 is going to be rugged..... I basically do the 1930s - to - the 1970s.
Certainly, Amazon is not the answer.... They are just a Chineseum linked reselling institution....
And, it is not like they grew up in a family run shrine for old parts -- and have been doing this for 49 years, like I have !!!!
Marty,
Take care of your wife, today. I will research presently, and call you later this afternoon.
Everyone else,
Marty's order was so big and with instantaneous payment -- that I gave him Front Wheel Seals, that sell for $19.00 - $30.00 each for FREE, and that was for a pair of N.O.S. nice soft supple felt seals, no repro rubber lipped garbage !!!!!!! And I charged him $ 70.00 for shipping --- It wound up being
$ 121.86 -- and I said, don't worry about it --- in this time of very few sales!!!!
Yours, Craig ..... Stay safe, everyone, we are an older crowd....
^^^^^^ And THAT folks is how you treat a customer!! Bravo!!!

Simple answer: Bob is wrong. He should, at his expense, send you the proper part and, if he wants his part back, pay for return shipping.

I have already cancelled my hotel reservations as of about 2 weeks ago. I could see this coming. I am probably the typical "young" BCA member at the age of 62, read that as many are older than I am. I have a co-morbidity (diabetes in my case) so I am at extra risk. Would you attend if you were me? I chose not to do so. Also helps that my wife's birthday is that weekend too...

Ahh, British cars using Lucas Electronics, aka the Prince of Darkness. They have, you know, a 3 position switch: Dim, flicker and off.

Just saw this in today's paper (we live nearby). John was an excellent person, one that can never be duplicated. RIP John.

This thread is a prime example of why I will never (likely) get involved with running a club again. My blood pressure and anxiety thanks me for stepping back. To those who want to cut ties with the club after seeing posts like this - there will always be discontent. You have to ask yourself - "Amy I enjoying my membership to this club?" At the end of the day, the club is as fun or enjoyable as you MAKE it. Get involved with a local chapter if you have one close by. Go to the meetings. Attend one of the events they host. Forget the politics....that aspect will always be there. Focus your attention to what gives you joy.
AMEN!! I agree with you Adam. Have to drag me kicking and screaming! And yes, like you, I've been asked to throw a hat into the ring. No way.

Not a lot of phones out there at that time....phone number was "5"...

There have been a few. I don’t have the links at my fingertips. Many more to come.

That was a typo, Ed. I will correct.
Thank you for bringing my mis-speak to my attention.

Ed, I am NOT saying the models made in S Korea or China are junk, I'm sure they are not. I will say they are not built by US workers and thus are jobs lost for the US economy.

Grey plastic were also used on the G-Body (Regal/T-Type/Grand National). Points have been known to be deducted if the caps were not grey while being judged, right Roberta? ;-). They are available from several G-Body parts suppliers.

I hate auto-correct....
That's what I meant. Sorry for wrong direction.

Encore = North Korea, Envision is produced in China. Neither of which will have the opportunity to grace my garage.

No, that is definitely not a 1971-73 Riv frame/suspension. Parts may be, but it seems to be a combination of 1956 and parts of the Riv frame/suspension.
Another thing noted in passing...at least sweep out the trunk before you take photos.
-
Location? Judging by a phone number I could see in one of the photos, it looks like it could be New York.

71 B body bumper - I have a nice rear bumper from a 71 LeSabre/Centurion. I won't ship it, but if you can pick it up you can have it.
Sorry if I missed it, but your general location would be nice to know.

Actually Ed, the 455 (and 400 and 430) Buick big blocks weigh less than the small block chevy. I'd be much more concerned about twisting the car in half than the weight on the front end, that is if you could ever get it to hook. If I am not mistaken, those years of Skylarks are unibodies. Careful where you cut for clearance.
The flywheels will not interchange, to answer the OP's initial question. Anything can be made to work but at what cost.
