  1. Just found an old water pump in my spare parts. Shaft seems to push in and out, is this normal off the engine or is something worn. will take apart Tuesday.
  2. Who does a good job rebuilding water pumps ? I heard the CA kits are only so so. Thanks
  3. I just restored a 1927 Buick Woody wagon. I didn't care for the bumper that was on it. I also have a 26 Buick sedan which had the orginial Weed Brand Bumper. I was at a cruise-in with my 26 Buick and a Model A (1930-?) was parked next to me that belonged to LaBaron Bonney. The bumpers were the same wide, thickness, curve bot about 2" shorter. I picked one from tam's which was stainless and had it polished. Enclosed pictures of what came on the 27 and the new Model a bumper. I was lucky to find weed brackets on e-bay and had local welding shop make backing plates. I had the dividers between bar cast of bronze. If I set both cars next to each other you can't tell the difference. Hope this helps out. I'll try to attach pictures, if that doesn't work, e-mail me at ssmith105@maine.rr.com
  4. Who is good at rebuilding a 27 Buick standard water pump? Had my 26 rebuilt some time ago but can't remember who did it. Thanks
  5. ROGER, I could you a few spares, my old ones seem to strip easy. Have a 26-27 and a 27-27 made into a Woodie in 1927 Steve Falmouth, Me
  6. A friend of mine just bought a 32Buick Model 60 and there was no key in ignition switch. How can he remove the key switch ? Thanks Steve
  7. What do you call the bumper irons? The uprights that separate the bumper bars. If so I have some from a 1926 Model 27 Weed bumper. Also on my Model 27-27 Woodie wagon. I had new ones made and used Model A bumper bars which are exactly like the Week bumper bars but 2" shorter. Can e-mail pictures. Steve buicks;1425389]I would like to find a pair of front bumper mounting irons for a Master series. Mounts from 1925 thru 1927 will work I think. I have the 2 bumper bars, just need the mounting irons to the frame.
  8. I have a few valve springs for 26 Buick standard, Don't know if they are the same. Steve[ QUOTE=Brian_Heil;1395724]Ray Brown is puting together an order for 1923 6 cylinder Valve Springs. Cost will depend on response. Not sure what other years these will fit. Send me an email and I will forward it to Ray and you can communicate with him directly. Thx!
  9. Mark, Do you know if Bob's Kit has a stainless steel shaft. I have a machine shop that could make one. Thanks You probably don't remember but I meet you at the National Buick meet 2 years and had my 27 Buick woodie. Steve Smith Falmouth, Me
  10. Has anyone used Bob's WPK-260 water pump rebuilt kit ? I can't seem to get my packing from leaking. looks like shaft is worn. thanks for any help
  11. I live near LaBaron Bonney so took my old shades down to them and had new ones made. Did a great job, They are listed in their catalog. good Luck
  12. Rick, We talked the other day on this. My 26 Model 27 has the same gauge as shown. But my 27 Model 27 that was made into a Woodie Wagon in 1927 has a completely different type of gauge as it is up under the Woodie body. sorry I couldn't help you out. I have used Bob's Speedometers for my gauges. good Luck Steve Falmouth, me
  13. I just restored a 27 Buick model 27-27 that was made into a woodie wagon in 1927. I couldn't find the flat bars so bought 31 Model A stainless steel bumpers. Same as my 26-27 Buick with weed Bumpers. They are stainless steel and about 2" shorter than the weed bumpers. if you want I can e-mail pictures. I was lucky to find weed brackets on E-Bay. I also had a friend make the back flat bar at his welding shop. Good Luck
  14. I have a lot of 26 Buick Standard clutch parts,I don't know if some might be the same. what exactly are you looking for? Steve Smith Falmouth, Me
  15. I had both my 26 and 27 standrad clutch rebuilt by Fort Wayne Clutch in Fort Wayne, IN. They did a super job. Steve Falmouth, Me
  16. I'm looking at a EZ-ON top for my 48 Ford Conv. Do they have the same seam as the orginial top? Does anyone have a picture of their top. Have they ever leaked especially in seams? Thanks for any help
  17. Has anyone bought EZ On auto tops? I need to get a new top for my 48 Ford Conv. thanks
  18. I need an exhaust manifold for my 1927 Buick Standard. Just as I drove into South Bend Meet it cracked in half. Thanks for any help.
  19. I'm finally rewiring my 27 Buick woodie. I took the headlights apart 3 years ago and lost the screws that hood the headlight rim onto body. The large screw at bottom. Where Can I find some? Seems to be a srange thread. Thanks for any Help
  20. Tinindian , How did you fit an alternator on your Buick? I only drive maybe 30 miles at night would the gen hold up for that distance with 50/32 Bulbs? Thanks for your help. Steve UOTE=Tinindian;1179559]The top line on this link has 50/32 cp bulbs. They should fit perfectly if your present bulbs are 1000. My car originally had 21/21 cp, I changed them to 32/21 cp which I found better and then I found the 50/32 bulbs. They made a fantastic difference for night driving. However since I was driving 60 to 100 miles at night my old three brush generator wouldn't keep the battery charged so I changed to a 6 volt alternator. Automotive HeadLight Bulbs and Bulb Sockets
  21. I'm rewiring the headlights on my 27 Buick woodie. The shop manual calls for 21 c. p. on both filaments. The bulbs in car are Mazda 1000 32 x 32 c.p. 6-8volt. There doesn't seem to be any difference on high or low beam. Should I use the 32 C. P. or get some 21 C. P. // Thanks for any help.
  22. I have flipped the intake on both my 26 Standard and my 27 Standard Woodie Wagon and used a one barrel Stromberg Carb. They both run super. never even have to use the choke. I used an electric fuel pump by tank and a pressure reg on the firewall. But not be stock but sure runs nice. Good Luck =FLYER15015;1171751]Though I have installed several Jag S.U.'s on old Harly's, I have to go with Mark on this one. When you flip the manifold, there are several GM carbs at your disposal, OR you could try a Stromberg 94 or 97 if you really want to "get out there", but a carter or rochester is probably your best bet, subject to the mounting bolt pattern.

  23. I'm looking for the metal plugs that go in hole on the runningboard apron on my 26 Buick. The hole is 1 3/4" I could use three, two for apron and one to fill hole in firewall where exhaust manifold heater goes through. Restoration Specialties used to carry them but not any more. Thanks for any help.
