  2. How do you remove the end cap on a armored coil on a 1941 Buick Super Tim

  4. I called Bobs about rebuilding the starter he's the one that told me to take it to a local shop, I went ahead and installed the push button under the dash.
  5. I had a local NAPA store rebuild my starter they said the solenoid was bad and after several week of looking for an exact replacement they put one on that they said would work my problem is that that I now do not know where to hook all the wires to make it work I have one to where the battery cable hooks to and the one that is hot to the small terminal I am not sure what to hook the third wire to I have tried hooking it to ground and to the same terminal as the other one the old solenoid had two small terminals for these wires. Thanks for any help you may be able to give me. Tim
  6. I am in need of a solenoid for Delco starter 1107005
  7. The ground was connected to the engine block should I connect it to a starter bolt instead. It was the braided kind, should I change this strap to a larger cable, I have ordered 2/0 cable for the positive
  8. Thanks for the information will check these things out
  9. When driving and car is running at around 180 to 190 when I shut it off it does not like to restart it turns over very slow, after it sets for around 5 to 10 min. it will turn over fine I am looking for ideas on how to cure this. Thanks Tim
  10. Do the 1941 Buick Special and the Buick Super take the same radiator
  11. New 160 thermostat was put in, radiator seems to have good flow, I am pretty sure it is the timing it was set at about 8 btdc The manual I have calls for 4 but when I get it down to there it hardly runs and wants to back fire, dwell is right on 31
  12. Any one ever put a 6 blade fan on a 1941 Buick I'm thinking it might give me more cooling during the summer/
  13. I have a super 56s my dad bought it in 1954 he was the second owner, has 76000 actual miles I love driving this car.
  14. The needle for the mph works just wanting to get the mileage and trip meter working they just recently quit the cosmetic's are still in pretty fair shape.
  15. I contacted Bobs Speedometer and he wanted $600 to repair has any one used Scott Speedometer his quote was $300 Thanks Tim
  16. Looking for a working speedometer for a 1941 Buick super or a shop that can repair one. Thanks Tim
  17. Added the water wetter and have been driving every evening at least 30 miles seems to be getting better only running around 190
  18. The top of the radiator was taken off and tubes rodded I will check out all the things mentioned, builder says he didn't use any silicone, thermostat is 180 Tim
  19. Thank you for the replys I did have the radiator gone through while the engine was out I will keep taking short trips and see if it gets any better.
  20. Just got my car back from the shop after a complete overhaul and it is running hot 190 to 200 degrees they told me it would take a few hundred miles before it would stop running this hot has any one ever heard of this I am starting to worry about damanging the engine. Tim
  21. The odometer and trip meter have quit working on the speedometer the mph still works can the odometer be repaired and if so where would I find a book that might tell how to do thisor if you have done this maybe you could let me know. Thanks Tim
