old-tank Posted September 2, 2019 Share Posted September 2, 2019 Search: In line sight glass 3/8 flare. That's what I use on my 55's. Anything original will be by now junk. The originals have a glass tube sealed by o-rings which at this point are welded to the glass. Even a new one I found a few years ago failed in a week. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buicknutty Posted September 4, 2019 Share Posted September 4, 2019 This is the one on my car, also a '56 Roadmaster 2 door, factory air. This has never been apart as long I have owned the car, and that's over 40 years now. Also, there is supposed to be a small metal cover that goes over it, light springy steel, but it broke many years ago. Keith 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
old-tank Posted September 4, 2019 Share Posted September 4, 2019 Sometimes Classic auto air will surprise with the part you need. I don't have a 56 parts book, but illustrations show a sight glass and gasket under group 9.202. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
