So I am finally getting started on the Buick again it’s not locked up!. I know this is a long time to ask a follow up question lol.Works out to be a 1949 248 from a Super. The last digit [ 5 ] designates 50 series, Super.
So the engine number is 5,519,225. 1949 began with 5,220,975. 1950 Super began with 5,628,+++, which was the first 263.

So I am finally getting started on the Buick again it’s not locked up!. I know this is a long time to ask a follow up question lol.
Would you happen to think that all component parts are all 49?, or would they work with the 40? Like distributer, coil, starter etc.? I want to get it running!
Looked at the H.EI. For strait 8 on summit. But if I type 40 special it says it’s not a fit. But if I type 49 special it says it fits?
That’s my first step. 12V conversion first thing. I figured since I need a battery anyway might as well start there.Hello again, Eric.
So glad the engine is not locked up. I believe all components will interchange. I can see no reason for the fit/no fit thing. The only difference, I think, between 1940 -1949 might be the advance curve. Are you going to go 12V?. If so, I have a suggestion. Where are you in MO?
