Anyone know if any Buick V8,s had the word "Buick" printed or embossed on the rocker covers? I would like to purchase a pair of covers like this if they are available. Thanks, Buford 8

Ha Ha Ha.... 12 volt and 6 volt plugs.... maybe if the battery is hooked up backwards the horn will suck instead of blow?

I have been following this post, I would suggest you inspect the ignition points, sounds like there might not be enough clearence when the cam is on the high side to open them. Should be .015-.017 clearance when on the open (high) cam. If you don't have enough clearnce at the points the coil doesn't get enough time to load for the next shot. You can also test this with a dwell-meter. Go from neg side of coil to ground with the meter, should read 28-31 degrees. Good luck, Buford 8.

Thanks everyone, I got a brake pad from Steele Rubber Products, it works great turned 90 degrees just like you said. Thanks again, Buford 8.

Yup, should be the same '42- '48, I think all series are the same as well. Thanks, Buford 8.

Have a pair of new take-off exhaust manifolds from a 1977 Olds Toronado with the 403 V8. would like to get 75.00 plus shipping, any interest?

NAPA has just the pump, it is about 18.00, the entire kit is about 30.00 so it just makes sense to buy the complete kit to freshen the carb. Good luck! Buford 8

Hi, I need a deck lid for my '48 Buick Roadmaster 2 door sedanette. I think any sedanette from 42-48 will fit? I am in southern New Mexico so someplace close would be better for me. Don't need any trim, just the deck lid. Thanks for looking Buford 8.

My condolences to you on your loss. Where are you located? Depending on the model of this car and the distance I might be interested. Thanks, Buford 8.

Incidently, I have a business address that I use for deliveries. This makes it easier for the trucking companies to accomadate large pieces. Buford 8.

Wow!! thats what I call Buick guys sticking together! I can't refuse a deal like this. Maybe I can do something for you someday. Thanks, Buford 8. You can send email to : dingman@zianet.com (This make my day)

Hi, I would like to buy a hood and a deck lid for my '48 Roadmaster 2-door fast back. Prefer somewhere in AZ or TX. Thanks for looking. Buford 8.

Hi Guys, who do you go to for a good trunk seal on a 1948 Buick Roadmaster fastback? My trunk leaks and I can smell exhaust. The seal looks good, it is glued down around the perimeter of the trunk opening but if I give it the dollar-bill test it doesn't make contact with the deck lid. Thanks, Buford 8.

Thanks for the suggestion, Bob's has the bezel but not the handle. Buford 8

I tried to Google "CARS" and all I can find is used cars etc. Can you give me more info? Thanks, Buford 8.

Hello, I need to buy a right side (passenger) hood release handle assy. I noticed a small crack in the bezel that surrounds the handle on my Roadmaster. Thanks for any help. Buford 8

Find an Auto body supply store, ask for an Auveco catalog. They should be able to supply you with any trim clips you might need. Good luck! Buford 8.

Thanks John, a picture would be really helpful. If you can email it will be much appreciated. Thanks, Buford 8. dingman@zianet.com
