Looking to replace the voltage regulator on my 1960 LeSabre convertible w/the 401 nailhead. I am finding 2 types of regulators, the VR22 and the VR24, which do I need and what's the difference?

Well so much for the simple, easy, installation. Knock on wood, my current carb has given me no problems so I'll rock on with that!

Maybe here: I just went on ebay and entered 1961 buick lesabre molding clips in the search box. Good luck!

As you can guess, with a land yacht like my '60 I was looking at EFI not for racing or tons more power but for better cold & hot start-ups, maybe a little better mileage, and above all since we take...
Thanks for the reply Tom. The units I saw ran the gamut in price starting around $900.00 up to around 1400.00. Some of them had electronics covering the trans too, which is what made me wonder since...
I've noticed Holley has come out with a series of Electronic Fuel Injection (EFI) systems housed within a factory look carburetor body. My question is has anyone tried these and how did they work...
Thanks Road! I'm now geeked up waiting for the weather here in Michigan to break! It's getting close to car season again!:hurray:
I saw some on Foose's wheel website. 20" is not my style though.
I've recently seen two shows on the Velocity channel in which chrome wheels with "built in" whitewalls were added to custom Buicks, one was a '59 LeSabre and I think the other was a '60 Electra. I...
This is what I'm trying to figure out. Due to the split bumper style my car has I don't know if a universal kit would work.
Anyone ever seen a continental tire kit on a '60 LeSabre or knows of a company that makes a kit for this car? I'm not sold on it yet and would like to see a photo. It will probably end up looking...
I was thinking of having my car wet sanded and polished, Is this the same as color sanding? Will I lose any shine and how do I go about finding someone who I can trust to do it? :confused:
Of course I think my '60 LeSabre, should be on the list! I think it was the last line that Harley Earle had a hand in. The first heads-up display (Mirror o matic) dash, the art modern clock, the...
This should generate some buzz. I came across this article. Do you agree or would you have added some other Buick? :shield:

Hi Guys
Saw this on ebay today....

Hi Lou
Frank Wright Glass on Gratiot Ave. in Detroit does resilvering. I dealt with them before and they do good work. The father started the business and now the son has been running it for about...
Changing from regular factory bulbs to the LED bulbs made a nice difference in the visibility of my instrument panel. FYI the clock simply slides off the base and changing the bulb is easy. It had...
Hey, try this link, maybe the correct color is on there. Good Luck.

If I'm reading the post correctly any automotive paint supply store should be able to either look up that color code or take a small sample and match it. There are some places that will mix it for...
Yep, I adjusted the rheostat but the dimness doesn't diminish much. When I turn them on at dusk it's impossible to see any difference between off and on. It seems they work better when I pull into...
Thank you both for the replies and information!:shield:

My car had 2 of them already when I purchased it about 7 years ago. They are working real ones and are vintage to the vehicle. I like them but, probably wouldn't add them myself. My car also has a...
I wonder if a fender washer between the chassis and the fender would raise up the fenders to kind of meet the current hood line?
Oh, the hinges I have work okay, I guess the part number vs. what's stamped on the hinges themselves just got me to wondering. My problem is my hood sits up around an 1/8th of an inch higher than my...
Hey Bob , thank you for the information. Do you know if there are more than one part number stamped on the hinges? Now I'm thinking maybe I have the wrong hinges on my car.....or I'm looking at the...
