Thanks Todd, found it under flaking paint above oil pressure sender unit RHS. quite small numbers, reads 29P though so table indicated it as Pontiac.

There is no engine number behind the power steering pump.

Hi guys, I have purchased an awesome 58 Buick hard top running a 350 Buick drive line. I have done some investigating online and under hood and have been unable to locate a number. I know a lot about these older cars but it has me stumped. Firstly I was told it was from a 79, its the 4 bbl...

Question is seal to timing cover, its a slip in seal.

Want to remove this for ease of painting, ( the cast iron piece from head to head ) is this seal an o ring and is it easy to seal again or is it a issue. Thanks

I do have a shop manual, the setting shown is for crossply tyres or course. Just remember my other 50 was just as bad ..it had crossply tyres. I will check camber as I have a camber tool.

I will measure the pitman arms, maybe the st. Box ratio is different? Either way the factory should have got it better.

I wish I could find someone who knows how to set up old cars alignment. He gave me no figures on it but as you know you can't vary the camber much with that pin.

my cars are 2dr 56s, not a roadmaster, tyres pumped up hard to try and help, steering boxes fine, of course they are worse ( a lot ) when stationary so I try to move wheel while rolling as I always do in any car. The CASTOR may supposedly help ?? but the drag link setup is almost identical to...

I have posted about this before but I need to again due to the purchase on my new 1947 Oldsmobile. I have had 2 1950 Buicks and still have one. both were the same with terrible steering only a bodybuilder would be happy with. One has radials the other had crossplies both had professional wheel...

I can recommend the kit from TOM'S CLASSICS ....on Ebay I put a set on my 53 Pontiac and on my 47 Oldsmobile. Remember you will need to change to a boosted dual circuit disc/drum master cyl with proportioning valve also and this is where the WORK comes in..... and please check that the flexible...

What method has anyone used to get the nut/bush out of the knuckle because it just aint coming out....may have to get heat into it???

I replaced all my bolts with studs on my 50 ready for newer wheels. you just need to get the right press in fit size for the threaded holes. Make sure they pull in all the way as the rear brake shoe spreader bar was just clipping mine and needed grinding.... but you will know this when you spin...

Hi, I am in Australia so I can't just go to a wreckers for these, my car has hydraulic suspension and in our wonderful.....country its not legal so can anyone give me a contact for these. Moog 5035 spring are obsolete I believe so second hand would be fine as I need to consider shipping costs...
