HI
I had a neighbor who was always working on junk cars. He had an old 80s Buick he was working on and asked what I thought about the engine noise. It was rattling bad with what sounded like a rod...

HI
I have never done any of this yet. But have read several accounts of the pump failure. Here are some of the things I compiled on this.

I wouldn't say it would be easy to damage a front...

According to the diagram that would be a tan wire at the bottom of the steering post. I have never taken one apart but I would assume that the problem would be at the wear point where the wire goes...

Hi
I will try to attach 2 jpg pictures of the wireing.

HI
I am not sure if I can help. I have the Steering section for the 56 Buick from the manual. I also have the seperate manual on repairing the steering.
Is it Manual or Power steering?

HI
When you find out how to do this let me know. I also have a Buick Century 4 DRHT. From what I understand most of these were junked out because they were not sporty enough for the hot rodders....

HI
I found some other info on this site from "suntreemcanic". He says ---

The rear of the car must be on jack stands. Then you can run a chain between the rear bumper supports and attach a...

HI
I had my transmission rebuilt at a shop. From what I understand they pull the rear end back after uncoupling from the transmission. This allows the transmission to be pulled. I have read a...

HI
I got rid of my 95 Olds 98 last year. It was doing the same thing. My understanding after talking to a couple of mechanics is that the rubber in the Heating and Cooling controls switch goes bad...

HI
I am more of a Chevy man and have not torn apart a Buick starter yet. On the Chevy starters there is a copper bolt that acts as the contact for the solenoid. If you took the bolt off and turned...

HI
I have used this site for a lot of my information http://www.agentbudd.com/56Buick/index2.html .

Hopefully you can find what you want in the Buick Service manual.

HI
One other consideration for the cooling would be to try and find a 6 bladed fan. They were optional equipment and I have only seen two of them go up on EBay in as far back as I can remember. They...

Hi
I know very little about the transmissions. But I accumulate a lot of info from different sites. This is what I have on a similar problem some guys found. I would give them credit but I do not...

HI
I have not heard back from johnnyb56 so I guess he does not want the carb.
I guess I will get a kit and put in it and place it on Ebay.

Hi
I have the two carbs. One is still on the manifold and the throttle is stuck. The other one I got last year with a rolling frame and all the stuff that came off of it. It looks good and I cleaned...

HI
I would be glad to send you a diagram. Email me at gishmonster49:at:verizon.net.

HI
Your SN does not look correct. It should be on the machined pad in front of the passenger side cylinder head. Often hidden by the alternator.
Go to nastyz28.com . They have all the engine...

HI
I asked the trany guys who rebuilt mine. They said their fathers built a cross piece that goes across the frame between the trany and rear end. They then jack the rear end back after loosening (...
