You just need to determine which size you have. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rod Wise Posted June 27, 2022 Share Posted June 27, 2022 That is a 1913 Model 30 Buick roadster. It has the 201 cu inch motor, which was the middle size motor in 1913, sharing this motor with the Model 31 tourer producing 28.9 hp. SAE. Did you buy this car, as it was for sale last year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

motoringicons Posted June 28, 2022 Share Posted June 28, 2022 Congratulations on finding a rare and great looking brass Buick. The Brass Buick Yahoo group is a great source for information, knowledge and locating parts. This site has helped me a lot finding parts and information for my 1910 Model 16. I am sure someone on this site can help you with the parts you need.

Do you want to make this a show car or a driver? Original Schebler carburetors are available from many Buick owners who replaced them. Spark plugs are a matter of preference. Modern plugs are available. The BrassBuicks site listed above will be most helpful. Edited June 29, 2022 by Mark Shaw (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keith They should work fine. With the long electrode they are less susceptible to fouling. That is all that I and many others use in our old Buicks.

dibarlaw Posted June 30, 2022 Share Posted June 30, 2022 I do not know where ROCK AUTO got that image but it is not for a Champion 589/ W89D. Electrode and insulator much too long. This is the 589/W89D I have in my car. The distance from where the plug seats on the head to the electrode gap is 1 1/8". This plug has the electrode exposed. In original applications the threaded shell was longer. But still the "reach" of the plug should still be 1 1/8". Below a photo of the original style AC plugs. On the left an AC TITAN for 1923 and earlier Buicks. It has an 1 1/8" Hex. More room on the cage valve engines. On the right a later AC type C. for 1924-1928 Buick engines with detatchable heads. Smaller plug space because of cooling cavities in a detatchable head. The hex on these are 7/8". These can also be found on the earlier engines. Reach is 1 1/8". 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mine still work but the electrodes look like have been repaired on a couple of them, so I'll check out the link. Keith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
