  1. The replacement idler arms with the bearing were marketed in the aftermarket as "heavy duty" replacements Tom Mooney
  2. As I recall there is a felt like washer there whose purpose is to attempt to reduce water infiltration into the ball/socket. Tom Mooney
  3. I agree with Tom that most AFB tags did not have stamped numbers but were/are color coded. The color seems to fade with time/wear and tear. One exception to the above would be the very rare rear carb on the '66 MZ dual quad engine. The same part number which appears in the "up to 1970" Buick parts book is stamped into the triangular aluminum tag which is affixed to the driver's side rear corner of the carb. Tom Mooney
  4. The original size 845 is in between a 215 and 225...your call. The 225 looks meaty, the 215 looks "'60's skinny". Tom Mooney
  5. Cars has a reproduction. Get the one with the dimples...think we discussed same at MCACN? Tom
  6. Install an open breather on the driver's side valve cover. The PCV cannot ventilate the crankcase without a source of fresh air. Tom Mooney
  7. The term "all" is always dangerous! Lol.... Tom
  8. Lol...I've had the pics on my phone since late Fall! Tom
  9. These door panels need to be cleaned but are in very good condition and would show well in a nice car. (* IN THE PICS THE VINYL APPEARS MOTTLED/SPECKLED BUT THAT IS NOT THE CASE. IN PERSON THE VINYL APPEARS JUST AS IT LOOKS IN THE PIC SURROUNDING THE CENTER CHROME TRI-SHIELD PANEL *) There is some light water staining along the bottoms but the cardboard door card is still in good shape. Most used door panels I see for sale are falling apart but these can be immediately installed and look good. With a light cleaning the chrome would show to be in exceptional and unpitted condition. $200 plus shipping. If interested please send a PM Thanks, Tom
  10. Hi Bob, Hope you`re doing well. It appears you neglected to list the purchase price for your air cleaner? Tom
  11. I believe this to be a `63- `64 Eldorado trumpet horn # 1999945. Cosmetic condition is excellent with the exception of a small area where the paint has flaked off; easily touched up. The horn has been tested and sounds LOUD and STRONG. Due to the cosmetic and functional condition of the horn I expect it has been professionally restored at some time in the recent past. With a small touchup the horn is ready to be installed. More pictures available upon request. $400 plus shipping. If interested please send a PM Thanks, Tom
  12. Left and right `65 rear bumper guards in poor condition. In spite of the obvious issues neither one of these bumper guards is cracked in the corners which is a flaw that is very, very common anytime these get bumped. Therefore, these would be good for cores. I can supply more pics if needed. $40 plus shipping. If interested please send me a PM Thanks, Tom
  13. Dean, your car is maroon. Bob`s car is red...two different colors entirely. Tom
  14. Our annual swap has come and gone so I will once again be marketing some items from my friend`s inventory. We would like to move along the last of the items that are left to folks who can use them. Thanks to everyone who stopped by our tables at the swap meet to say hello; nice to chat with long time friends....and make some new ones! These guards fit all three years of the first gen cars, `63-`65. These are low end driver quality due to corrosion but they are great cores for replating. The corrosion is chrome plating which is flaking off, NOT rust through. The faces are perfect and not dinged up as the guards typically are. Priced to move @ $30 each or $50 for the pair plus shipping. Please send a PM if interested. Thanks, Tom
  15. Sometimes our cars are not as "original" as we would like to think. 60 years is a long time ... Tom Mooney
