MCHinson Posted November 2, 2020 Share Posted November 2, 2020 I found your post in the General Forum first. Here is a copied version of my reply to you there: That number appears to be the engine number for a 1940 Buick Special (40 series) car. This link should help you with where to find the engine number on the engine: https://www.buicks.net/shop/reference/engine_ident_52.php (For a 1940 40 series car, It should be on the passenger side of the engine just in front of the distributor.) For parts for a 1940 Buick Special you will find reproduction parts from Bobs Automobilia as well as Cars, Inc. For parts from parts cars, the best source is Dave Tacheny. You can best reach Dave at 763-427-3460 between 4 and 7 pm Central. You will probably also want to scroll down the page and check out the PreWar Buick Forum on this site. You will find plenty of people on the PreWar Buick Forum who can offer you help on your 1940 Buick questions. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
