Is there a trick to this? I'm having a problem putting the oil pan back on my 50 Buick, it keeps getting hung up on my steering rods. I lifted the front end by the frame today and it helped but not...

Sorry, I should have been more specific. I have a 1950 super, 50 series. It's a four door that the previous owner cut the top off of. I have been restoring it mechanically and have been looking for a...

I have a question, does a 2 door body and a 4 door body share the same frame? Or did they make different frames for the different bodies?

Those are the ones I have. Some things have a breakdown to it but most of the major assms. do not.

I have what I think is the standard buick shop manual (it is on CD). I'm not too fond of it because it really doesn't have exploded drawings of a lot of the crucial assemblies (motor, trans, axles,...

Here is my horrible drawing of the seal.

I'm looking to see which end of the seal is installed facing the transmission. I'm almost 90% sure when I pulled out the old one that the metal...

Thanks Justjoe, the pic you posted was going to be another question I had. The one I am looking for now is the seal that goes over the female spline that the one in the picture slides into.

There is an insert that goes into the female spline line on the torque ball. The insert is a circle and the form of the circle is in a "U" shape. I think it's called the propeller shaft seal. Which...

I took the oil pan off my straight 8 to clean it out along with the oil pick up (glad I did it). The oil pick-up was caked with old oil and sludge, the only thing open on the screen was the little...

I dont think increasing the line size will have much of an effect due to the oil regulator that is before the rocker arm.

My feeling is if you start with a clean rocker arm and run the filter set up that Lowblow is running you will probably be less likely to clog the rocker arms again. I just drained the oil that was in...

Anyone have a tech on how to remove the rocker shaft and clean out oil passages? I'm stuck on how to remove the shaft. It seems to be in there pretty good and I dont want to damage anything. I've...

Hey Lowblow, any pics of the finished product? Also have you driven this enough to see if it's doing a good job with cleaning your oil?

I took my old oil filter off a couple nights ago to remove...

I'm sorry, I think I missed it but did you say you put an oil cooler on as well? If so do you have a pic and a part number?

Thanks for the pics and the explanation. I too removed my heater but I made a plate that mounts flush to the firewall. I think if you do this it will move your filters back enough to keep your...

Could throw up some pics, I would love to see the setup.

Hello, I was wondering if the main cab (passenger area and such) from a 1951 buick would fit on my 1950 buick. Both are 4 door cars. The reason I ask is when i bought my Buick the person before me...

Thanks for the advice, Permatex #2 it is.

I know you said thin layer. Is that around the whole surface of the gasket or just in the middle?

Hello everyone,

I was wondering what would be the best sealent to use on a cork gasket. I got a new pan and valve cover gasket and want to make sure they are as oil tight as can be.

Thank...

I have a chance to buy one of these but all the person can tell me is that the published date on the book says 1952. Is this a general dynaflow book or made to specific years. BTW i have a 1950...

I have heard good and bad things about those. I would love to use them because they are easy to take out and everything.

I would think the temp would get to the rubber after a while though.

Scroll down and you will see the section with freeze plugs.

They send you a whole bag of them though, I only used 4 out of the 15...

1 45/64 is what is on my plugs for the block.

Thank you, that is some great information. I have a napa here by work that I'm going to have to take a run to at lunch tomorrow.
