Bloo Posted October 30, 2022 Share Posted October 30, 2022 Are the rims missing completely? Tires went for the war effort? Nice project. Keep us posted. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Porsche 68 Posted October 31, 2022 Author Share Posted October 31, 2022 The vacuum tank for fuel is on the driver’s side The tank on the passenger side is some sort of oil filter Oil feed lines come off the motor and go to it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oldtech Posted October 31, 2022 Share Posted October 31, 2022 (edited) The tank in the picture IS the oil filter, which has been bypassed as usual. There is no replaceable cartridge in these so they have to be cleaned. The oil circuit goes through it so you can't just plug it off, you have to make a bypass, which they have done correctly, if not artistically. The plate on the firewall will answer the year and model question. Can't quite read it but will be 28-26 I think. 1928 model 26 - Standard series 2 dr sedan.

Leif Holmberg Posted November 1, 2022 Share Posted November 1, 2022 Porsche68. Be sure to buy the original 21"Buick rims, there are a lot of different 21" rims out on the marked , but most of them are not heavy enogh for your Buick wheels.

Morgan Wright Posted November 1, 2022 Share Posted November 1, 2022 This one says you can balloon the tires up to 6.00 http://hyzercreek.com/Buick.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oldtech Posted November 1, 2022 Share Posted November 1, 2022 I think the standard Buick came with 5.25 -21 , and the Master with 6:00 -21. I believe the master rims are a bit wider. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
