Hallo Dirk,

Hi Chris, mine needs paint as well as it's kinda brown. I had the front and back glass removed and did get the top repainted the original White as I had a water leak and didn't want the floor pan to...
Thanks for the heads up. It will take me awhile to figure it all out.
My car is also from Alberta has original paint and is virtually rust free. From the parts car I only need the interior. Even the dash pad is perfect. I will also grab the carb as a spare etc. Sheet...
I don't see the rubber part. There is rubber around the center bearing. Here's a pic... Read both articles and plan to install a driveshaft hoop for sure. The driveshaft mentioned in the excellent...
Bob, It's 3 to 4 days driving and northern Ontario will crush your soul! There's even a song about it "Rocks and trees, trees and rocks" My Wildcat is a basic 2 Dr. with a beige vinyl bench...
I'M not surprised he bailed on his thread. As far as driveshafts go, My 68 Wildcat has a 2 piece driveshaft with 4 ujoints and a center bearing support. Some manuals call the Link Yoke a C.V. joint...
Hey Chris,
Glad to see another Wildcat owner from Montreal! They are in pretty short supply around here. I'm located in the NDG area at Sherbrooke and Draper ave. I'm relatively new to older...
I will do my best to welcome new members and try to be helpful any way I can.

Impressive list of cars you have there! Please feel free to post some pics as we love pics. I had a 1953 Olds super 88 when I was 19. What a great car and the 303 was surprisingly powerful for a big...
Thanks for responding Bob.
From scooting around the site, it seems you're doing a lot of the heavy lifting here. If you upgrade the site you run the risk of alienating the old farts in the hobby...
I was away for awhile and had a look last week. Many parts of this forum seem to be dead in the water. I had found a cool build thread for a Skylark posted by a very enthusiastic guy doing a frame...
Did you ever finish the car? You were doing an amazing job!
Grüße aus Montreal Kanada,
Ich hatte auch eine 74 Electra! Es war einer meiner Lieblings Buick! Letztes Jahr sind wir nach Frankfurt, Wiesbaden und Berlin gefahren und Berlin war im Vergleich zu...

QUOTE=rod61727;107268]This is off subject from your thread, but I saw that you have a 68 430. I posted for info on the power steering pulley on the 68 430 and have gotten some...
Thanks for the feedback. The engine is otherwise sound with good compression, oil pressure and a smooth idle. I have since learned that the timing gears are nylon coated and should probably be...
Hi all, My 68 Wildcat has 86,000 Mi on the engine and I'm hearing a very slight random tick/rattle coming from the timing chain area. At what mileage would it be prudent to check or replace the...
I don't have the turn around time to get mine rebuilt as I need it immediately after the tank is rebuilt. I found this place and ordered one...

Thanks Larry for the feedback. I guess I will go with them.:thumbsup:
Sorry to bug again, but the push is on to get my car mechanically fit before the out of province plates expire. My carb is shot and needs overhauling (more than a kit, worn out throttle bushes etc.)...
My 68 Wildcat is well on the way to passing it's certification for plates. Only the fuel tank and trunk welding repair is left to do. I need to get the fuel tank rebuilt and it would be foolish to...
We have done one winter already and it didn't kill us. My wife won't drive here and likens it to driving in Peru where she spent a year. No regrets however. Great Smoked meat and Bagels!

Success! The welder was able to fix the crack in the manifold and when we restarted the car the noise was reduced 50%. I did learn a host of new French swearwords as a red hot blob of welding rod...
Thanks Bob for the reply. I have 12 months from the date of the inspection to affect repairs so If the welding shop can't fix the manifold in situ, then I'm going to change direction and concentrate...
