    46 320 rebuild with 49 up parts?

    Terrill Machine Co. will exchange your connecting rods with those machined for inserts. Feltz Terrill is second generation in this business and is quite reasonable in his prices. In addition, the machinist who is rebuilding my 1948 50 Series engine for my 1940 Super is very picky was happy with...

    Comment by 'tjbian' in item '1940 Buick Eight Special'

    She actually looks quite solid. Now all she needs is many hours and lots of money. Good luck!! I have owned my 1940 Super for almost 52 years and am still inserting money. She is currently undergoing an engine and transmission overhaul and then I will hopefully be done.

    First time US car - Guten Tag from Germany

    Lubricating the speedometer cable sometimes fixes a jumpy needle if the jump is caused by the cable binding in the tube.

    1940 Buick rear end

    When I went to examine the gears I have I was surprised to see the mechanic had disassembled it. I assumed he had just swapped center sections. It was in a black plastic trash bag in a box and I had not looked at in in years. The gears appear fine as do the other parts. I have what appears to...
