Mr. Earl, I must be stupid, but I could not find the spot to insert the "Want to Buy".  Also, I really, really enjoyed  your "Barn Find" article in the current "Bugle", received yesterday.  Earl B

You did fine Earl B. Under the title, just click "Add Tag" and a choice of For Sale or Want to Buy will pop up, click whichever is relevant. 

Thanks for the kind words about the article, glad you enjoyed it.

Thanks.  You're in for a whole new experience now that you have a pre-war straight 8.  Watch out for the oil pressure when it gets good and hot after say 20 miles at 50 mph.  If the oil pressure drops under 20 and the idle drops to under 10 you need to install a 1941-1953 oil pump.  Fits right in, and has 25 percent larger gears and a steel bottom plate.  Your car has a pot metal bottom plate.  They tend to warp after about 30,000 miles (MoTor magazine, about 1939 or 1940).  I donated all of my MoTor magazines to the AACA Library about 20 years ago.  Buick also put out a kit with a new steel bottom plate and neck to solve that problem, but the 1941-53 version really solves the problem.
