Thank you. I was finally able to contact him.
I'm still looking for a phone number? Anyone have it?
Thanks Bob. I wasn't sure which one he was when I previously found that contact info. Thanks again.
Anyone have contact information?
Hello all, after bending numerous pushrods on a car that sat for years, I have elected to remove my cylinder head for rebuild. The 52' roadmaster is COMPLETELY stock as it was found in a field.
My...
I've elected to remove the head this weekend, along with the exhaust manifold to be welded.
I plan on having my machinist magnaflux,replace guides if needed, install hardened seats for todays...
I have a 320 straight 8 in a 1952 roadmaster that is bending pushrods. This car sat for a loooong time. When i brought it home from a farmers field i found 3 bent pushrods. I replaced them and...
I need to replace ALL brake lines/hoses on my 52 Roadmaster. My interest has been piqued for something like inline tubing stainless steel kit.
My question is: How hard of an install would this...
I've heard that years ago there were some aftermarket exhaust manifolds made for the 4 barrel 320's. I would be happy with a repaired one if that's even possible.
Has anyone used a fabbed up set of headers in place of the factory 4 barrell exhaust manifold? Any known improvements in performance?
Anyone have an uncracked 52' 320 4-barrel exhaust manifold? ...
I would be definitely in for a finned pushrod cover and valve cover for my 320. Most of all a good dual carb intake to evenly feed all cylinders. "IF" a 4 barrell intake wouldn't lean out the end...
Great thats what i was hoping for as it's the easiest fill point i can see. It just seemed that it would be a little low, but i'll keep track of the amount added by the time it spills out the diff...
I have a 52' buick that calls for 3 pints of gear lube. I am now ready to fill since doing some other work under the car.
QUESTION: Where do i fill the 3 pints of gear lube at?
There is a...
Okay ARE YOU ALL SITTING DOWN? Just out of curiosity i called this place to see how much this job cost,,,,They said the work was $21,000 out the door! FOOLISH, FOOLISH, FOOLISH. The total 4-link...
Hmmm.. I found this link on you tube. This place seems to do very good work.

Yes, I've already bookmarked that article a long time ago. My car isn't running right now but it will in time. However I am gonna tackle this project sooner or later.
Has anyone on here did the dynaflow to th-350/400 trans conversion?
If so were there performance improvements over the dynaflow? I'm speaking mainly between the years of 48-53.
I too would keep it simple. In fact, for the 322 power levels i would run the th-350. This equates to more power to the the ground than the th-400 due to increased drivetrain power loss of the...
The brake job is pretty basic and straight forward. If questionable it's always a safe bet to have the shop manual and you could always do 1 side at a time for reference. My shoes are on order they...
I guess i have a solution. I went with raybestos professional grade rear shoes. There is alot more surface area, there is also a primary and secondary shoe and they are riveted.
I just felt...
Hmm, i was sure hoping that Bob's could have came through a little better for me, especially since they are a classic buick specialist?
Hello,
I am in the process of replacing rear brake shoes on my 52' roadmaster. These shoes are the 2 1/4" width. These shoes were purchased from Bob's.
My question is that all 4 shoes for...
Thanks alot 39 cent!.. I wasn't exactly sure about the locking screw and it's installation. I see this can be done with the housing in the car and that the torque tube won't have to be separated. ...
I will soon be doing a complete rear brake overhaul on my 52' roadmaster. I was also wanting to clean and paint parts as i go through certain mechanical parts on this car.
Can i remove the axles...
I wish it was that easy. 52' roadmaster is a one year, one model exhaust manifold. There are plenty out there for the 2 barrel,,but not the 4 barrell, 1952 only, roadmaster.
