Dave_B Posted May 12, 2008 Share Posted May 12, 2008 Michael, Is the car a Master or a Standard? Is it a pot metal or bronze float bowl? I might be able to help.Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest oakland Posted May 13, 2008 Share Posted May 13, 2008 For your door handles and window cranks, check out www.vintageandclassicreproductions.com They are located in Australia. I bought some handles for my 29 Oakland from them, and they are excellent. Good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael_Biggers Posted May 14, 2008 Author Share Posted May 14, 2008 Hi Dave,My car is a two door 1927 Buick sedan standard. It has a bronze bowl. This was my dads car for 40 years. Now that he is 86 years old I'm trying to get it running again. I appreciate any help you can give me.Michael Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carbking Posted May 14, 2008 Share Posted May 14, 2008 Michael - the carbs with the bronze bowls have a flat aluminum cap. They don't really complete seal. The better kits come with a new cap. Kits are less expensive than carburetors.Jon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ROD W Posted August 23, 2018 Share Posted August 23, 2018 Swin10, Start a new thread, saying what is wrong with your carburetor. If yours is not broken it can most likely be repaired. There are a number of topics on this Pre War Forum on the Marvel carby of this period. As Leif said, say where you are. There may be some body near by that can help. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McCargar Posted August 23, 2018 Share Posted August 23, 2018 I have two Marvel carbs surplus to my needs. One from a '26 standard and one from a '27 standard. They were both on running vehicles when removed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
