I've had my '53 Special sitting in the garage tinkering with it. The fuel tanks been redone and carb rebuilt among other things. Idling in the garage it's been running good, a little rough but not...

This is getting frustrating, apparently no one has this clip.

Does anyone know if some of the other Stromberg models use this same retainer clip, I may have to buy a core just to get this little...

Still no luck finding this retainer clip.

Does anyone know how much play the check valve ball needs? I'm wondering if I could somehow snap an e-clip into the groove and that would give the...

Thanks for the replies. So far no luck finding the one I lost or a new one.

I happened to be going by a Napa and stopped to look the e-clips. Unfortunately they are not the same. I might be...

I am in the process of cleaning and rebuilding the 7-90B Stromberg off of my '53 Special. Being the well coordinated man I am, I lost the lower-cased "e" shaped retainer clip that secures the "check...

I'm looking for a new vacuum advance for my '53 Special. Are there any new ones being made or do I hope to find a NOS one?

Thanks.

Grounded the sending unit and everything checked out fine.

Thanks for your help.

Aha! It never hurts to ask, that never even crossed my mind. I'll ground it when I get home and give it a try. Thank you.

Does the 263 Straight 8 in my '53 Special have any specific name similar to the Fireball?

Looking at a couple different articles, I'm a little confused. Which Buick engines are referred to as the "Fireball."

Thanks.

On my '53 Special the turn signal indicator on the dash behind the steering wheel (I don't know the technical term for this piece) is missing some of the glass/plastic that hides the bulbs. The...

Sorry, I left out that it is a 263 in a '53 Special.

I'm new to the Buick/Straight 8 world so bear with me. :D I would like to check the timing of the engine and from what I've read there should be a timing port that snaps in and out allowing you to...

Thanks for the reply. I've been toying with the idea of doing it myself, but the only carbs I've ever rebuilt have been off older outboard motors. Not sure if I want to mess it up. :-)

Not sure what forum I should put this in, but I would like to send my carb in (Stromberg Aerotype 7-90B) for a full restoration. Has anyone dealt with carbcareusa.com or daytonaparts.com? So far...
