Did the 26 Buicks come with washers under the wheel nuts? It doesn't look like the nuts seat straight on the wheel clamps. Has anyone used washers and what size? I have tried to find stainless washers. Thanks

I'm rebuilding my 26 Buick engine and the fellow that is doing the crank and babbitt work only uses 15-40 in all the engines they do. Has had very good luck in the last five years. -
I would like to paint my carb. First I will glass bead it. I noticed Eastwood has a silver carb. paint. Has anyone used it and is it any good? What I have is a NOS rebuilt carb that has been setting around for quite awhile and want it to look like new. Thanks

Base for Stromberg Carb BXV-3
Old26Buick replied to Old26Buick's topic in Automobiles and Parts - Buy/Sell
To carbking, I'm putting a Stromberg carb BXVD-3 marking on base to a 26 Buick intake manifold which I have turned upside down to use the down-draft carb. A fellow in Austrilia has used a Stromberg carb with a BXV-3 marked on base. I need a 1 1/4" opening at base of carb. I beleive the BXV-3 has a 1 1/4" opening while my BXVD-3 has a 1 1/2" opening. I can make an adapter but can I use the other base on my carb? Thanks for any info. Steve -

I havea 26 Buick Standard and am going to put a 27 Standard crankshaft in the 26 engine. The 27 has counter weights where the 26 doesn't. Any tricks in putting one in. I have seen a few done up here in Maine but can't seem to find the older gentleman that did it. They run a lot smoother. Also where can I find alum. pistons and rings for the 26 Standard? Also gasket sets. Does any one in New England states do babbiting? Thanks

Any engine rebuilting shop should have the valve stem seals. I know the local NAPA store rebuilds heads and have all sizes of them.
