The panel contols the on/off of the compressor through the ECM. The blinking lights would indicate that you probably have a bad mode control motor. Looks something like this.

Growing up in Flint in the 60's, I had always heard them referred to as a Deuce & a Quarter or a Two Twenty Five.

I am trying to understand. Did you have all of the parts that have refrigerant (freon R-12) flow through replaced? That would include the evaporator core, hoses, compressor, accumulator/dryer, condenser, and the orfice. Is that what you / the shop did? Does the car have "automatic touch climate control"? If so, the control heads can be exchanged. There is no reason you can not replace the a/c control head if it is the same part number. Are the lights flashing on the control head? If so, then there is another problem possibly happening other than the control head. Could be a mode motor. Does the a/c compressor ever go on? If not, it might be the control head or the WIRING, or engine control module (ECM) as the ECM turns on and off the compressor. To really help, try to explain clearly what is really going on and what is happening when you try to change the settings. Problem might as simple as a bad ground to the system.

Here is what I use for transmission oil on my old vehicles. Lubriplate SPO-299. http://www.lubriplate.com/Online-Store/2-lb-bottles/SPO-299-one-quart-bottle.aspx

The picture looks like the original "cut & paste" Wonder what the story behind the change in picture?

I am looking to replace the water pump packing on my '15 truck with a lip seal. It is a non pressureized system. I remember someone saying that there is a seal type that I think started with a v. Just can not find it in the posts.

I looked at the car a couple of months ago. Nice car but WAY TOO RICH for me. Just a truck guy. Nuthin fancy.

I remember seeing some information about a particular type of lip seal to use in a water pump, but can not find it. Can anyone remember the particular type of lip material that should be used in water pump applications. Thanks

DITTO!

The 1911 is listed for $36,000.00 http://annarbor.craigslist.org/search/sss?query=1911%20buick&sort=rel

Wonder where that car is today?

Here are some pictures from the Detroit auto show today.

Can you post some pictures?

These look similar to German models used for technical training built in the 1930's that I saw some time ago..

It does not look like the Buick frame that I have in storage. Mine is a 16-18 small 4 cylinder frame.

My sealant of choice is the Locktite Pipe Sealant with Teflon. http://www.globalindustrial.com/p/tools/Applicators/Caulk-Sealants/1527514-thread-sealant-w-ptfe-1-pint-brushtop?utm_source=msn&utm_medium=shp&utm_term=B1462263&utm_campaign=Caulk-Sealants-Adhesives&infoParam.campaignId=WR

I do not remember seeing him there.

West, Thanks for the information. I made a note of it. Larry

I am thinking of vending this year at Hershey. I have read some about the taxes. What do I need to do? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

You might be reading my reviews. I am going to the auto show with The Detroit News as shown below "CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!! You have been chosen to be on the Detroit News 2015 Readers’ Choice Awards judging panel. "

Looks very similar to the old Pontiac G6 convertible.
