  24. from a link in The Old Car Manual Project may be of interest COMPOUND CARBURETION This type of carburetion is used as equipment on the 1941 and 1942 Buick. Carburetor Tune Up Guide - The Carburetor Doctor
  25. I am unsure if 1940 and 46 transmission swap On RHD the selector rods come out the other side. Casing is not the same The part number of the internal forks (to move the gears) and cross rods are different Gears are the same In my view you will not be able to use a LHD transmission. Only way will be to put the bits inside your RHD casing But the internal forks do wear and can be a problem RE means the engine was re manufactured. Maybe in the 1940's Edit: Try this. from http://www.oldcarmanualproject.com/manuals/Buick/1948-49/Group4/index.htm You may need to click to get it to fill the screen Is 1948 but about the same as 1940 -1946. http://www.oldcarmanualproject.com/manuals/Buick/1948-49/Group4/pages/48-49BuickShopManual0152_jpg.htm
