Will have to be posted to Australia but shouldn't be a problem.

Grubby,
Thanks for your help but I just got a call from Western Australia. A Buick Car Club member over there has got one and has sent it over to me, so now I'm good.
Thanks again for your help,...
Hi there,
Yes that is the window,
except the one I need is the left hand side. No matter it's a Super, so is mine.
The part I need is the hinge on the glass frame.
I can explain how to get it out...

Greetings from Australia.
The part you mention is the inlet breather for ventilation of the crankcase. The gauze is a very coarse filter to keep dust etc out of the system.
I believe the fresh air...
Hi all from Australia.
I'm restoring my 1947 Super original RHD. It belonged to my father and has been in the family for all but 2 years of its life.
Anyway:

Hi there again from Australia.
I'm no expert, lets get that straight first.
The difference in ported (less) vacuum and full manifold vacuum (more) is the amount of advance at idle or thereabouts....
The vacuum line is there to give the proper advance when cruising. This will greatly improve the fuel consumption. Not used in racing as the throttle is normally fully open or closed.
There are many...
Tom,
am off on holidays and will try to post a picture in a few days.
There are no markings on my manifold except a stamp "OK" and a couple of small imprints which seem to be from the moulding on...
Hi there
Have just found out via the Buick Car Club of America that the spacer is in fact a splash guard and does go between the gear and the balancer inside the timing cover.

Greetings from Australia. I agree that without the shockies one can bounce the car up and down with one figure, even get the wheels off the ground with effort!
I bought new springs from Kanter...
Thanks Buick Guy for your help. I actually did the straight edge stuff when I put the drive gears on. The crank gear was a tight fit and I placed it inline with the cam gear.
The process is quite...

Jenz 38, :thumbsup:
Thanks for your reply, given me new hope that I can do it myself and not stuff it all up!
Will keep intouch and let the mob know how I go when I get home.
Thanks again

Hi there from Australia,
Have placed several threads before with success.
New question is:

Hi there,
I've got a 47 mod 51 in Australia in about 1000 pieces at the moment.
