Well, the monsoons subsided today and I got out to work on the Buick. I chanced the voltage regulator and it's charging like a storm. Fires up, drives sooo good.. I took her out on a freeway and got her up to 70 with no problem, and rode like the Queen Mary.
For whatever reason, the hood kept popping up. I'd slam it as hard as I could and a mile or so down the road up again. I thought I had it fixed, and when I got home, dang thing was up again. What do I need to adjust to make it stay down? thanks all!

Well, the wheel I was after has been sold... Just how things go sometimes... but, for next time, I now know to go for it since a flex will fit no matter from what car, so, all this I think helped to educate many of us.. thank you all for the help, B

Bob, pm sent.

Bob, thank you very much. Now, if you will explain hard/flex. I thought all the wheels were the same....but, all I have seen are pictures.
-
Did all models use the same wheel and horn ring?

Well, one thing for sure, if they show up at an AACA event, they're definitely 400 point cars!!!!!

Driver Crashes £250k 1924 Bugatti T13 And Walks Away For A Beer (VIDEO, PICTURES)

I finally got under the car. The thrust pad and mounts look fine. I guess the next easiest step is the tachometer. I'll get to it when I can. Rain, rain, and more rain...
I forgot to take my camera, so, when I can get it on the lift again, I'll get some pictures.

There's something, but no idea what. It's full of fluid. I did get to check that. If I start in low and shirt to high, it works beautifully, but when I try to start on high, it's like the bands are moving, but not grabbing, then they grab, and off we go. I want to get it on the rack to check broken motor and transmission mounts and the thrust pad. My friend hasn't called today about going out to use his lift, so, if not today, hopefully tomorrow.

Well, I got out Sunday afternoon and rode and rode. The radio works when it's in the mood. It's the same way on my 1987 Chevy pickup, so I'm used to it. I haven't had a chance to go to my friends and get it on the lift. Such rain today, you woulnd't believe.. I'm just hoping it will be better tomorrow, but the weatherman says NO... more rain.... so, maybe Wednesday or Thursday on the lift.

Ah yes, every silver lining has a cloud.....
