32BuickVicky Posted March 23, 2019 Share Posted March 23, 2019 Finally finished up what I could do on the 32 and gave it to my wife for her birthday. She was thrilled of course. I still have an issue or two to work out. I'm losing some power going up hill and have some occasional popping when I let off the gas. Pretty sure the carb has never been rebuilt. Probably time. I'm in the East Tennessee area. Can anyone recommend someone in the area that rebuilds 32 Marvels? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazyfamily Posted March 24, 2019 Share Posted March 24, 2019 Beautiful car no doubt about that!! on rebuilding the Marvel, YOU can do it yourself! I’ve never even seen a Marvel let alone tore into one until We bought our ‘27 Summer 2018!! There really isn’t a whole lot inside of one to be honest w you! I’ve never be in a ‘32 Marvel but if it’s anythng like my ‘27 then there isn’t anything to them!! Here is our ‘27, does it look like this? Sorry I don’t have the greatest pics of the carb.... but if it does look like this one thenits rediculously simple inside so if I can do it then you certainly can!!

Steves Buick Posted March 25, 2019 Share Posted March 25, 2019 Just get the kit and rebuild it your self, very simple and straight fwd. I did mine and it runs fine. Good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
32BuickVicky Posted March 25, 2019 Author Share Posted March 25, 2019 Ok. Do you all recommend a rebuild with the cork float or a plastic float? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From what others have told me it’s personal preference however it’s seems majority of people go with a plastic (NITROPHY) float. i just ordered a NITROPHYLFloat for my rebuild as well due to the recommendation from Hugh_25_25 and a few others who have been very very helpful Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marty Roth Posted March 25, 2019 Share Posted March 25, 2019 The most important thing will be complete cleaning of all internals and passages, but it sounds like your issue is more hat of tuning, rather than a carb rebuild. These can be a bit finicky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Shaw Posted March 25, 2019 Share Posted March 25, 2019 I know there is or was a collector car restoration shop in Cookeville TN. http://newvintageauto.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hubert_25-25 Posted March 28, 2019 Share Posted March 28, 2019 You may want to consider going thru the carburetor yourself. There is a procedure in this link. This will walk you thru the steps. Not sure how different your 1932 is from 1925, but guessing not very. You may have issues with your pot metal venturi, so certainly worth looking at. Congratulations to your wife. Tough to beat getting a collector car and someone who will keep it running for you.
