  1. Pushrod, Good link! Thanks,
  2. I suggest you make your own float using Crazy-Glue & wine corks. You can use a grinder or sander to make the right shape & coat it with Crazy-Glue or model airplane dope to seal it from modern gasolines. The needle valve can usually be lapped in it's seat to provide a good seal. Adjust the float to bring the level in the float bowl 1/16" below the top of the main jet. Always use a shut off valve ahead of the carburator anytime you park the car for awhile because metal seated needle valves almost always leak.
  3. 1926 &1928 Standard engines appear to be the same 207 cu in engines...

    Not Buick; they had louvers in 31.
  5. Jollygreen, I don't know of anybody making kits for this. Usually the shaft can be made from SS barstock and the old impeller can be cleaned up and pressed on. Make your own gasket, replace the packing, and you should be good to go....
  6. Bill, Lookin good.... Will you be driving it to Flint or Colorado Springs? Great job!
  7. Hey Sky King, how about changing your Avatar?
  8. Laden, I have the same size wire wheels. What are you asking for your set?
  9. Dave, The second radiator inlet is smaller and has what looks like a flat thermostat flange on the back side of it. The photo of the one I previously posted was rounded on the back of the inlet and takes a larger hose. Inlet on this photo is 1 1/4" the other is just over 1 1/2". Please email me directly durcodude@comcast.net
  10. Ron, Please post some photos and advise what are mountain brackets. thanks,
  11. You probably have a hole in the diaphragm and just need to replace it with one that is compatible with ethanol....
  12. Try this: http://www.zenithfuelsystems.com/updraft_267.htm
  13. The obvious solution is dilution. Just add more real gasoline. I know that is not what you were looking for ...I just couldn't resist!
  14. A couple more suggestions.... I agree with previous posts about using heat, but you might try shrinking the stud with dry ice or the arasol freeze stuff from a drug store. Try a shot of PB Blaster and while it is soaking, go to Sears. They will sell you a special set of nut extractors (used to remove rounded nuts) that might get enough bite to remove the lug. You may have to drill out the lug and/or use a cold chisel on opposite sides to either drive it off or split the lug nut.
  15. Yeah, if it is not going to be a show car, just make the running boards longer & enjoy driving it until you find what you need.
  16. Today is your last chance to bid over $200 for this Buffalo Buick wire wheel.
  17. Today is your last chance to bid over $200 now to get this Buffalo Buick wire wheel.
  18. Agreed. There is an "always hot" lead on the trailer plug. However, I would rather limit the amperage and charge direction with a diode and a breaker rather than a fuse that would require replacement each time the load limit of the wire is exceeded. I still would expect someone to have a kit for various tow vehicles to charge travel trailer batteries etc.

  20. 1940 Buick is correct. The four cylinder cars had a wheel base of 109", the sixes were 120" or 128".
  21. Saginaw steering gears were used on lots of GM cars & trucks. My company once used the same gears to operate industrial valves. Some were known to use the valve operators on their cars.
  22. Somebody needs to make it into a speedster!
  23. Dave, I have two original 28 Buick honeycomb radiators with bad shells. I static water tested them and they are not plugged up. Send me a direct email and I will send photos if your are interested. You can have either one or both for $75 each plus actual shipping costs. durcodude@comcast.net
