What is this at the top of the retaining ring at about 10 o'clock? Thanks for everyones help, Thanks

Friend has a 56 Olds and needs to replace one of the headlight bulbs. He has no manual so we are stuck on how to replace it. Has the chrome ring off, a no brainer but that's as far as our brain power got us to. Any help on how to get the bulb out would be appreciated. Ron

This looks like my only solution. Thanks for the pic and everybody's help. Ron

The thread is OK as I tried another fitting. The line is just resting and the other end is not attached to the rear of the carb so I can better align the fitting. It just seems the fitting is slightly too big. The pipe just touches the opening preventing the fitting to screw in. As suggested maybe a M/FM is the answer? Trying to find a picture on the internet of the pump on the car to see if there is another adapter fitting. We have no other lines so assuming we have the right one. Thanks for the help. Ron

Hello. Helping a friend install a 2 barrel carb. The car was a family donation. Some parts were removed. Started installing the carb but came to a problem. One of the fuel lines doesn't screw into the fuel pump. Its the line that goes to the back of the carb. The fitting to the back of the carb fits fine. Are we missing a coupling? I have enclosed a picture. Its the line with the blue tape. Also what is the torque spec for the bolts holding the carb. Thanks Ron

Any pictures? are you just selling the eye? Thanks

I managed to get the glass bowl off, no problem. Full of rusty powder, My repair manual doesn't show what I think is a screen at the bottom of the pump that is in the glass bowl which is also covered in rusty powder. Does that screen come out by pulling it down so I can clean it? or leave it in the pump and spray it down with brake cleaner to clean it. Thanks Ron

Thanks, still can't see how to remove the glass bowl. The cross member, the control arm and exhaust appear to be in the way. It doesn't appear to be a easy access from underneath. Will have a second look from underneath. In what direction to turn the wheel that holds the glass bowl? Ron

Good day, Need some advise. I want to take the glass bowl off the fuel pump to clean it plus the screen. The bowl looks dirty with a dark and whitish coating. Getting to it from underneath looks difficult because of the cross member. Is my only option removing the pump from the engine? Also I had the carb rebuilt, what would the torque be for bolting it down? I also want to put a in-line fuel filter before the fuel pump instead of after the fuel pump. Would this cause issues? Thanks Ron.

In 1966 drove with my brother and cousin Route 66 from Springfield to L.A. in a four door 1955 Buick. Had over heating issues and lost reverse half way. Than L.A. to San Fran in my cousins 1966 Beaumont his father who lived and worked in L.A. bought him after we dropped off the Buick at the bone yard. 2 years ago did the California coast from L.A. to San Fran north and south From Pasadena also did Angeles Crest Scenic Byway to Las Vegas, highly recommended. Scenic Utah by-ways through canyons Zion etc. For bikers on California's scenic coastal highway I wish they would stop using it as a road race track.

Thanks, will probably do as you suggested

I have a side view mirror that has the word BUICK engraved in the chrome part. Will need re-chroming, picture link below, can send more pics. open to offers, http://tinypic.com/r/21bnhig/5

I told the seller that he was some important parts, without them the unit would not work. Asked if he would lower the price? his answer was no, won't reduce the price because of some missing parts, Good luck to him...

My kit for the 1955 has the relay and dimmer switch. I think most that are seen installed in cars probably don't work, just for show. When ever I see one in a car I would ask the owner if it worked and the reply usually is no. A lot to pay for something that doesn't work. The seller on Ebay looks to have the wrong template for the installation of the eye on the dash for the 1955. I asked him for the part number but after 2 weeks he still hasn't responded to my query.

Somebody on Ebay is selling an Autronic eye for a 1956 Olds for $800, link if permitted56 Oldsmobile GM Guide Autronic Eye Kit | eBay He is also selling one for a 1955 Olds for $1000, link if permitted 55 Oldsmobile 88 98 Starfire GM Guide Autronic Eye Kit | eBay Are these over priced? I have a 1956 Olds, I also have a Autronic unit for a 1955 Olds, not sure if the 1955 would fit a 1956. So was thinking of selling the 1955 Autronic eye and buying the 1956 Autronic eye. So would anybody be interested in my 1955 Autronic eye, complete, pictures upon request. if interested Thanks Ron

Thanks for your reply, Do I turn the nut clockwise or counter clockwise? would it be easier to remove the bowl while under the car or from the top, would this filter be OK?..just learning as I go along,

Hello, I want to put an after market in line fuel filter before the carb. Does it make sense to put it before the fuel pump instead of after the fuel pump before the carb. The reason before the fuel pump is to catch anything that might get into the fuel pump. Also the bowl on the fuel pump looks dirty and would like to remove it and clean it. How difficult is it to remove it without taking the fuel pump out completely. Doesn't look easy to get to the bowl to turn the wheel that holds the bail and glass bowl from either the top or from underneath. I checked the fuel pressure and it is operating up to specs. So wondering is there any point cleaning the bowl and filter thats in it if there is no issue with fuel pressure. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks Ron...

Came across this for sale ad for a 1947 with a Country Club trim, anybody seen one before, the Country Club trim was more common on the 47 Chevy.
