StevenOz Posted March 14, 2007 Share Posted March 14, 2007 Just looking for some info on a 24 Opera Coupe. I own it now and it's in really good condition all original. I'm looking to pick up wiring for it. The wires from the motor generator are shot and shorting out. Can I get NOS wires for this beauty?SteveOz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bubba Posted March 14, 2007 Share Posted March 14, 2007 Steve, Which model do you have? Look at the plate on the firewall by the horn and thereshould be a number that reads 24- ??. What is the ??. I don't think you could findNOS wires for your car. You could get a wiring harness from people who advertise in Hemmings. Get the shop manual for the car. There isn't one for the 1924 Buick so get the 1925. There is a guy on ebay who sells reprints of it. You can also get info at the 1927 Buick club on the net http://autos.groups.yahoo.com/group/1927buicks/ and by joining the national Buick club http://www.buickclub.org/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StevenOz Posted March 15, 2007 Author Share Posted March 15, 2007 See, here's the thing. I don't think I need an actual harness. This is only three wires coming off the motor generator. They run through the firewall and connect to the Ignition, Amperes gauge, and the Coil. No real "harness" persay. I guess I'm looking for the replacement wires. They look like 12 gauge but I want to get the "cloth" insulated wire not the vinyl wires. Is there a place that just sells this type of wire. I'm looking but it's difficult when you really don't know what you're look at or for. I'm brand new at this whole thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StevenOz Posted March 15, 2007 Author Share Posted March 15, 2007 I don't have access to the number at the time of this writing but I will get it. The car is the 6 cylinder cobalt blue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Phillips Posted March 20, 2007 Share Posted March 20, 2007 Rhode Island Wiring sells the correct cloth-covered wires in bulk or by the foot. They probably have a website if you do a search. You can call them and get their wiring supplies catalogue. That's what I did when I had my '24 and it needed new wires.Pete PhillipsBCA #7338 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StevenOz Posted March 20, 2007 Author Share Posted March 20, 2007 BubbaMy 24 Opera Coupe Number is 24-6-48. I contacted Kara and Marsha from RI Wiring Service and they will get the wires for me. Right now I've made a temporary set and resolved the wiring issue. It appeared that the starter pedal (rod) was stuck half into the motor generator drawing full amperage from the battery. That's been resolved and all the lights work. Now I'm working on getting the motor unstuck. Going to use PB Blaster... Wish me luckStevenOz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
