45r

I'm doing a rebuild on my 263 and putting all new hoses in the car. I am wondering what the routing for the heater hoses is. Not the path that they take but which one hooks to wear. It seems like there are only 3 places on the engine to hook the hoses too. There was a "T" make out of...

Boy I know I sound dumb, but how do you crank the engine over on a 53 Special 45r. The car has a Dyna Flow trans and a straight 8 263. The key switch has 3 positions; lock, on, off, and it works good. There is a small pushbutton on the dash left of the steering column which is what I though...

I am wondering where the vin locations on my 53 Buick Special 2 door hardtop are. I know the main vin is screwed on in the drivers side door jamb. Are there any other vin locations on the car for verification? Thanks, - Jeff -

I just got a '53 45R out of the desert. It had been sitting there since 1969 and hadn't moved. I want to get keys made for the ignition switch. I cant seem to get the front of the switch off to get it out of the dash. This front cover of the switch is chrome and has the Lock, On, and Off on...
