I have both a 26 and 26 Standard, do you think curve is about the same. I had the old 27 windshield and had one made for around $85, make sure to use safety glass. I can made a pattern of mine. The curve I think is the same.
I have a 26 and a 27 Buick which I turned intake upside down and used a down draft single barrel carb. I know it is nor orginal but sure runs a lot better with electric fuel and fuel regulator to about 2 1/2 pounds pressure.
My 26 Buick radiator has developed just a tiny leak. Is there a sealer I could use that won't hurt the cooling system. It has an excellent honeycomb rad. and hate to see it soldered. Thanks

I had a 36 Chev. distr. that slipped right into end of Gen. Need to get smaller diam wires for newer dist cap. Is it best to use copper wires ? Thanks for your help
A few years ago I installed a 28 or later GM 6 cyl Delco distr in my 27 Buick. That way I could go to Napa and buy all the parts for distr. for under 440. I know I had to change rear gear on gen. with a 28 gear. Can't remember if I can still use the 26 Distr. end plate with 28 drive gear inside ? Thanks for any help.
I have had windshields on both my 26 and 27 replaced. I just took glass out and glass shop made one from the old windshield. Fit perfect. Around $90 last year. No job to remove and replace. Good Luck
I just rebuilt my water pump on the 27 woody. What is a good grease to use. I have a tube of Amsoil Synthetic Water Resistant Lithium Complex Grease. I had a water pump rebuilt on my 26 Buick years ago and I think they might have said to use this but can't remember. thanks for any help. I got the kit from Bob's and real good parts.

Forgot I had to measure end play with pinion gears in place. Now have .008 end play on each axle. On the inner axle nuts I have been using cotter pins put hard job cutting the right length as they interfere with the I guess you call it diffential spacer between inner axle nuts. Could I just use roll pins and red Lock-Tite. thanks for your help.
