The original battery size was a 2E ...Farm and fleet had them until about 4 -5 yrs ago on the shelf. :car:

We tried radials on my dad's 52 super and the car handled ok but you could not keep the full sized wheel covers on in a turn. I think the wheels flex too much. Anybody have any thoughts? This car has...

It depends on what's humming.... The orginal post is somewhat vague...I was just trying to point him in the direction he wanted to go. I would check some voltages before making any decisions. The...

You can try taking yours apart ant clean the contacts....spring tension may be an issue. If it's been sitting a long time that may be the issue. I haven't checked these guys out but it may be worth a...

The vibrator may have gone out..This is a vacuum tube radio that requires about 300v dc to function. The vibrator plugs in like a tube. It's a silver metal cylinder. The normal operation is that...

Look on top of the ball....does it say Erie Car Guard? My 52 Super has a set installed....let me know

I saw on other sites that guys were using stands for diesel engines. I'll look for an url and post it. It was pretty massive and had 2 legs with cross pieces at each end. Pricey I'll bet.

I have...

If you are going to submerge it the acetone evaporates...keep it covered.

You should be able to just squirt it on a few times and get some results....good luck

My dad was the original owner of my 1952 Buick Super. It came home with US Royals (wide whites). If in 52 they sold cars like when I bought my 67 buick, stock tires were black wall and you optioned...

I read an article in a machinists' forum that rated 8-10 rust busting products. Believe it or not a mixture of 50% acetone and 50% ATF in an oil can outdid the best by more than 40%. I haven't tried...

Bob,

Did you receive the picture of that guy's trunk? I was going to cut one side of a piece of square tubing but I think it would twist/distort because of the way they make tubing. When you cut...

What car are were talking about?

Bob's right. The tail lights are correct for a special as well.

Well yesterday we took the frame to a frame shop. All this guy does is frame straightening and suspensions. He will work on it ASAP to confirm all dimensions and straighten as needed. No sense...

Bob,

I'm having trouble reading the dimensions.....can you rescan and/or do something else?

Thanks

Snake-man, Thanks but that'smthe drawing I was trying to use.

Bob, Thank you. I will try this drawing. I looks more in line with my frame.

Merry Christmas to all !!!!

Yes I am using the series 50 (Super) specs but both tables seem to have the "issues" I mentioned above.

The top of frame rail is shown to be 16" above floor. The body outriggers "dimension D" is 19+" when the outriggers are 1 1/2" below the top of frame. Also, the "A" dimension is approx 2" higher than...

I am measuring my frame and the frame dimensions in the factory manual has some discrepancies. Are the any other drawings with dimensions out there?

I'd fix that leaking kitty if I was you then the kitty litter won't be oily!

Unless.....you kitty's name is "Dynaflow"

Yes, that would be nice.....I have new rotors/calipers for a 1976 olds 98 that I was trying to utilize. If you find the parts list it would help.
