I took your advice Doug, I did two five mile passes on the Interstate yesterday and called today to order my unit. The cost was $140 plus $9 shipping, less than the cheapest PA speeding ticket....
Quite simple. I have done that for my own info in the past, in fact I did 100 miles on the Turnpike last summer when I went to the 75th Anniversary Turnpike Car Show. Of course I can't find my data...
Thanks, Doug :D:D:D
I have emailed Texas Industrial Electric with gear and tire size changes and asked if they can calibrate a unit and what is the cost.
In addition to the 3.90 rear end I...
I am looking for the 19 tooth Speedometer Driven Gear used with the 3.90 rear end. I have a 1940 Series 50.
I replaced the 4.4 gears in my 1940 Super with 3.90 Century Gears several years ago. I need the 19 tooth driven gear used with the 3.90 gears in Centuries.
Someone is currently listing a Howard 6 Deuce Manifold for the 320 engine on eBay.

Thanks for the input. I am aware of the scarcity of manifolds. I had wasted almost a month trying to have various people weld my old one before I finally found a set through the AACA Buick forum....
It is too late to do anything now as you have 180 days after the transaction to open a dispute, but if you paid with PayPal and cannot get satisfaction from the seller you can open a dispute with...
The 1940 Owners Manual on page 14 states:With hot oil and a road speed of about 15 miles per hour, if any pressure is indicated by the gage, it can be assumed the oil pump is functioning properly....
I got my manifolds, cleaned them up and installed them with the help of my son who is a Mechanical Engineer with a PhD. I had to purchase all three pieces in one unit, intake manifold, exhaust...
Glad you got them, I looked a gain but didn't find my old 3. The old gaskets were in the can but not the rings. I will probably find them hung somewhere on a nail someday.
BOB's lists the 1939-1940 Cap as 10 1/4" OD, 7 11/16" ID and the 1941-1950 Cap as 11" OD and 9 3/4" ID. Your 15" wheels are most likely 1941 Up.
I also came across a picture that better shows how...
Here is a photo of the Jack and Stand in the trunk of my 1940 Super. The jack is placed under the top of the rim after removing the trim ring. When the car is jacked up the stand is put under the...
Cars has the intake rings, they are not that expensive. I just bought a set. I can't find the 3 old ones I took out, I will try again tomorrow in the daylight. If I find them you are welcome to them....
Yes, I am in Western Pennsylvania at the junction of the PA Turnpike (Exit 28) and Interstate 79, just North of Pittsburgh. My car is currently down for maintenance, I am waiting for the cracked ...
Yes, Skip Boyer is a good source for the knobs. His eBay handle is bardroy .
I came across the business card he enclosed in one of my orders. His email is: richboy2@comcast.net
It took a...
Yes, I have learned a lot living with a car for 47 years, mainly what NOT to do. The hardest of all to learn was patience. I can't count how many times work done in a hurry was a disappointment. Tom
I came across this Forum when I was looking for info on my car. I have been fooling with this Buick for almost 47 years and you would think it should be done by now. I have been fooling with cars...
