    Buick letters

    I purchased a letter "I" on ebay with excellent chrome. I was too lazy to measure my old letter on my 63 skylark because it looked so alike. I receive it and the mounting studs are 1/2 " seperation center to center. My "I" on the hood of the skylark are 5/8" separation center to center. Another...

    sway bar urethane bushings

    Upon shopping for parts for the 63 Buick skylark, I was disappointed by the popularity of wrong parts that are available for this car. Ultimately, I as a consumer get less, and the seller makes a profit. The aftermarket manufacturers of urethane and polyurethane sway bar bushings do not cater to...

    14.7:1

    I made this cheat sheet for selecting jets and idle mixtures with a four-gas analyzer. The source article I got it from is out there if someone wants to look for it. I think the author deserves credit, but I can't recall his name. The red vertical line14.3:1 is the recommending mixture for...

    Exhaust port on 215 v8 with 4GC

    Does anyone know where this exhaust port goes to on engine with Rochester 4GC? The 2GC has a connection. The service manual does not have this information. I can see on the 2GC the tube secures on the valve cover leading up to the top. There is vacuum here at exhaust port, and changes idle...

    Mandrel bent tube for exhaust y-pipe 63 Skylark/Special

    Problem: The 63 buick special/skylark y-pipe may get bent right under the crossing under the transmission pan if the vehicle bottoms out. The crossing pipe in bent state is too close to the pan transferring heat into the transmission. Also, the typical exhaust tubing is bent with warped shape...

    1963 buick skylark front shocks

    It has been challenging to finding shocks on the 63 skylark, along the way I have installed incorrect shocks and not much options to choose from. The vintage car market for parts has moved up to inflated prices including J-nuts for qty of 4 to $225. + $9. shipping on ebay. I decided to increase...

    Parts flipping

    On ebay i'm seeing parts flipping. Easy to tell, the seller has little knowledge of the part and asking for a high price way beyond inflation consideration. Another type of part is a listing with least specs provided, yet it specifys fits your car, it does not. The most common part I see is...

    flasher hard to find replacement

    It is a challenge to find replacement parts specially if obsolete. I put together some pics, because we like them more than reading. A flasher on a 60s buick may have this recommended AP273S in 63 with a bimetal design, thermo circuit breaker. We can see how we end up with this #552 more...

    tire valve stem

    I'm wondering tire stem valve that is being used on 60s rims. The T413, 414, are all various lengths for .453" rim hole. I'm measuring a .425" rim hole on a 13 in. OEM GM rim from 1963. The new T413 valve stem is actually bigger at .478" with the .453" rim hole specification. About a .030" for...
