Have you checked your distributor cap and rotor? How about the bushings in the distributor body - too much side to side play? How about cross firing? Easy way to check this - start your engine...

You need to look at your carburetor. By pumping your gas pedal - you are squirting gas into the engine via the accelerator pump and that's what keeps the engine running. If this car has sat for a...

Some other things you might want to check:

1. A few times that I had hot restart problems - It turned out to be a bad ground from the engine to the frame or body. Sometimes ground straps get...

The one big problem you're going to have is this - the AC components are all inside a firewall mounted "box" and you will end up with exposed holes from which air will blow through. Your best bet...

Yes, I did the same thing - plumbed directly to engine vacuum and I had the same result - still wouldn't work. I thought your vacuum canister would be a sheet metal "can" - guess not!!! I...

Be sure to check the vacuum canister for pinhole leaks. This happened to me. The holes are usually at the crimped seam on both ends of the can. See if the can will hold a vacuum. If it doesn't -...

Hope this helps you out! - I have several 60's GM cars and one thing I have discovered is this - There are SOME parts that are used on both Chevy and BOP cars alike - S0, depending on how lucky you...

Here's a possible explanation - I went to change the oil in my wife's 1962 Impala. It originally came with a cartridge oil filter inside a canister however, it had been changed to an adaptor (Mr....

Another possibility for the part numbers on the hinges - the part numbers you see on the hinges could be the "manufacturer's" part numbers and not the "Buick" part numbers. You have to be careful...

Are you aware there is a rheostat in the light switch that will brighten or dim the dash lights? Just twist the light switch knob - clockwise and counter clockwise - back and forth to set the dash...

Thomas,

I am not sure what you are asking. It looks like you may be asking how to remove the glass trim from the body. If that is what you are asking - I would suggest you find a copy of the...

Don't know for sure - but, check on top of the frame around the front of the engine AND also look on top of the frame - clear at the back end of the frame on the driver's side - next to the gas tank...

Howdy!! I live in Kansas City. I would be willing to help you out - as long as the car is not clear out by Colorado. Where is the car? And what parts do you need? Do you have a photo of the car?...

Hello - I used to be mainly a Chevy guy until recently getting into Buicks. My best piece of advice I can give is this - When buying a Buick, buy one as complete as possible, because finding parts...

Hello!!! I am not familiar with this particular carb but, I have personally rebuilt many different types and have a few tips for you to keep in mind while rebuilding any carb. 1. Before even...

I had a similar problem with a 1960 Oldsmobile. I went to "National Fabric" in Kansas City, KS to get replacement channels but, they didn't have the exact same size that I needed. The counter man...

Hello - I know where there are some junkyards that have 66 and 67 Rivieras. I don't know for sure but, I think 66 and 67 are the same. Do you know any different??? Does anyone on Team Buick know...

Check out www.riwire.com - they seem to carry a lot of wiring supplies. It won't be cheap!!! I have never done business with this company so, see if you can't get some references from someone who...

Lintsch - Your English isn't bad at all - I think I understand what you are asking about. Maybe I can help a little!!! First - a quick Google check for the "trunk rubber" (or "trunk gasket")...

msmaron - On website www.autocolorlibrary.com Kashmir Green Metallic is mentioned in a bulletin that's dated September 5, 1950 (Look on Page 3 of 1950 Buick). Page 3 also states that the color has...

Newbie - The Buick purists will probably be sticking pins in a Voo Doo Doll for me after I tell you this but, it's your car and your money and your time - so do with it as you want. Make an honest...

66bspecial - You don't say whether your car has drum brakes or discs. The Equilizer block (Proportioning valve???) is only for cars with disc brakes and has nothing to do with whether the master...

A quick GOOGLE search shows several companies that list 1968 Skylark body sheet metal panels - Original Parts Group; Year One; Dynacorn and Goodmark. There are others I am sure. Keep in mind the...

I don't know the official GM name for the panel that you are asking about but, I always called that the Package Tray. I have no idea whether there is replacement panels for a 1968 Skylark or not. I...

I have much more experience with Chevys, Oldsmobiles and Pontiacs but, I would assume the other GM divisions are similiar - unless a Buick expert can verify. BUT, it's my experience, that late 60's...
