Thread: Straight 8 fuel block off plate.

  1. #1

    Straight 8 fuel block off plate.

    I want to eliminate my mechanical fuel pump and go electric. There are several block off plates on eBay but nothing specific to Straight 8's. So, the ones I've pictured bellow look right but I don't want to waste time and money. Anyone recognize one that will work or know of one that will?

    I have a 53 Buick Special with the Straight 8.

    Hi,

    I think it would be easier for you to make your own block off plate then trying to locate one that fits good.
    Create a template out of paper.

    block off plate

    Your local parts store will have one. Mine came from O'Reileys.

    I have a friend that offered to machine me one but I wanted to check if one was out there.

    Not 100% sure which one it was, but either CARS Inc. or Bob's Automobilia used to offer a fuel pump delete plate for Buick straight eights. Not a very fancy one though. A finned aluminum job would look killer.
    Got a 56R or 76R parts car, '50-'53? PM me! I need some parts!

    Here's the plate. I chose the old Buick font.
