Hello, everybody.
Thank you for all your comments.
We towed the car for a few miles without turning on the ignition, then filled the vacuum jar with petrol.
After dragging the car for a few kilometres we turned on the ignition.
It wouldn't run at first,spark plug out.They were dry.
Cylinders filled with gas.Then trying to start the starter engine,it didn't go great.Then towed it again,and there it was.It doesn't get gas.It didn't run very well.I want new spark plugs in it.What about spark plugs?
We let it run.Then stopped.And tried the starter.The starter got it pretty good.The engine was smoother. Then we got the following problem.
We had an external oil gauge fitted. To make sure the oil pressure gauge was okay, but it didn't have any oil pressure. The engine stopped. Before we mounted the oil pump we tried the oil pump with a battery drill and an oil pressure gauge, and it was good.
You can buy another oil pump in the USA or have it repaired.
A few pictures of building it in.
With kind regards from Holland

Thank you for your reaction
I used my own crankshaft.
Those rotate perfectly. The bearings are fine too.
I used my own connecting rods with piston pins.
I got six pistons on the block. They belonged to that block.
Those were nice pistons. They fit nicely in the block, too.
The piston rings weren't under a lot of tension,so we put new ones on them.The block was disassembled anyway.
And that's why we changed the piston springs.
We first fitted the piston rings into the block.
There was a millimetre space between them to fit nicely.
There are four piston rings around it.
I think the tension on the outside is too strong from the piston rings.
Without spark plugs,it's pretty hard to turn.
I have no idea what the Delco Remy can pull.
The cables from the battery to the starter and the chassis are 55 Squared (those are really thick cables that don't get warm during starting).

Hello everyone,
Thank you for your quick response.
The engine's still on a buck.
It's not in the car yet.
When the spark plug's out, it's still turning pretty heavy.
Can't the Delco Remy pull much?
We're thinking about getting the crankcase out from underneath.
And take out the pistons.
And mount a used piston ring.
If we try 12 volts for a second, would that be a problem?
The cables to the Remy Delco are heavy.
It has a new Otima battery and connections are good.
When we put it on contact it turns beautifully.
The anchor is not completely clean.
Can I look at something else?
Or do you have any suggestions?
He's on the buck now.
If we push the pedal by hand, nothing happens.
The flywheel doesn't even move.
We've had the block out once before.
Then we had six new piston with piston rings made at Egge's.
Starting was no problem then.
I hope to hear from you.
I think it's a wonderful forum.
There's a lot of experience on the forum.
With kind regards Catrinus Kielstra -
Hello, everybody,
My name is Catrinus Kielstra from Holland.
I have a Buick from 1923 roadster 6 cylinder black.
I would like to place a picture but I can't,
I'll try again.
My English is bad, because I use a translation computer.
My block was broken and I bought another block in California. Now I have new piston springs mounted.
But now the Demy Relco can't pull the engine.
Because of the new piston rings the engine runs heavy.
When I pull the pin out and the brush comes on the anchor it turns quickly.
We now want to build in the motor first and then tow it.
Somebody might have a suggestion.
Kind regards Catrinus Kielstra

Goodday everyone,
Thank you for your goodness. I have already emailed Arnold van Son back. Only I do not know if I did that right.
My Packard is a Cabriolet coupe 733 8 cyl. 1930.
He has a Borg-Warner overdrive.Only that does not work according to me.How he works, I do not understand.I have the idea that the ignition is not good.There is also something on the forum to put the ignition on time. Should the ignition also be different in relation to petrol today.
I will try to send a photo.
Kind regards Catrinus Kielstra

Hello all,
I use a translation computer, excuse me for it.
This is the first time for me on this forum.
My name is Catrinus Kielstra from Holland Europe.
I have a Packard convertible coupe from 1930.
I want the wheel off for the control of the brakes. I have the bolts out, but the wheel is still fixed. I have to remove the hubcap.
I've tried that, but that's very difficult.
Is that normal. A key does not fit.
I will try to take a picture.
I will try to send more photos of the car.
Only I am not a computer technician
Kind regards Catrinus Kielstra

Hallo Jones,
The needle can also be careful soldering.
And after soldering the needle in the application do, and then to face with the hammer a little tap on that, then it is closed again.
I've often done with carburettors.
Good luck Catrinus Kielstra

G'day mate, interesting your float appears to be made out of metal - mine is made out of cork (which seems to be consistent with what the book states it should be, it talks about applying shellac if it doesn't float properly). Bob's has a plastic replacement available that might do the trick
treeplanken are called side steps in English. I believe the timber used would be specific to where the body of your car was made, mine has local Australian timber (appears to be Victorian Ash) with metal trim around it and a rubber matting. One of the Americans can probably comment on what the Fisher bodies should have on them (or did the Dutch produce bodies locally as well?)
Hallo Hunter,
The shellac is used in Holland for the anchors of alternators and starter motors, and electric motors

Hallo Hunter,
The platform itself is not a problem but the rim around it.
Is this aluminum steel?. Is this a show list, or a flat corner edge.
Does anyone even pictures of the rim as the original is.
Dan I can maybe even maken.
Have also person images from the rim of Bob's (Bob wants to send no photos)

I believe bougies is spark plugs to us in the US (I spent a couple of years, long ago) in Belgium)
The carb float cab be made.
I am going to ask that this be transferred to the Pre-War section of this forum where more owners of old Buicks will read it, and I am sure you will get a bigger response.
And welcome to the forum. That is a nice car. I know someone that might have some of the parts you are looking for.

Hallo,
Thank you for your response.

Hello everyone,
I have been a member of your forum for a little while now, but my English is not very good.
My sun is helping me. I live in the north of Holland in a small province with 650.00 inhabitants.
I have relatives in Los Angeles, Buena park, Twin Falls Idaho and Edmonton Canada.
I realy like classis American cars. I own a couple of T fords from 1915 till 1923 and a TT truck of 1921, a Dodge Brothers 8 cilinder in line 1930. Also a Ford 1928 Roadster and a Pheaton 4 door Sedan, a Ford V8 truck from 1940 and my favourite; a Buick 6 cilinder from 1923 serie 23.6.45! I bought the Buick in California.
In 2013 I overhauled the Buick engine. The engine got 6 new pistons and 6 new valves.
I also got the crankshaft bearings to line drils And made a new axis and seals in the water pump.
I have a couple of problems with the Buick:
- I am looking for a flotter of a Buick roadster serie 23.6.45 of 1923 (photo added)
- I am also looking for a replica of an original klaxon of the Buick roadster.
- could anyone tell me what kind of bougies should be in the Buick?
- Does anyone have a picture of the originel treeplanken or an adress where I can buy the material for the treeplanken? I called Bob's automobilia but he doesn't want to send me a picture.
- I wonder what the best ignition time is? Right now I put it 1 inch for the dead center.
- I am looking for a distributor cap.
Thank you in advance!
Kind regards

Hello,
Thanks for the quick response.
I will try to show pictures of the Buick. I do not feel much of the forum.
What you mean by this sentence?
Catrinus, you might want to start a new thread about what you need rather than tagging it along with another so it does not get lost and go unanswered.
Sincerely Catrinus Kielstra

Hello, everybody,
Maybe we found the error of the heavy twisting.
The spelling between the piston rings in the cylinder was correct.
Only the piston rings don't go deep enough in the piston.
Next week we're going to turn the pistons out a little bit.
And then we will try again.
In the oil pump there is a gear with play.
We'll see if we can flatten the oil pump a little.
And there are also very small grooves in the lid.
We will try to remove them on a glass plate with very fine sandpaper grain 3000.
We have a drawing of the pump. Only he is a bit unclear.
I made a line on the drawing with a question mark.
Is that a ring?
Or does anyone have a clear drawing?
Kind regards Catrinus Kielstra
