Thanks for the reply. I got the details of the AC 44-5, and tried to match the data with other plugs, but there were at least a dozen that might apply. Is it that it really doesn't matter that much? I guess I was hoping someone with a 53, 54, or 55 V-8 might have changed plugs recently and...

Sorry, miswrote (my other old car uses Autolite). It is AC.

Sorry for the basic question. My manual says use Autolite 44-5 plug - don't find them available anymore, and don't trust sellers' alternatives? What to use? Thanks!

Thanks, about $20 for 12", which should cover both sides. Not bad, considering I just paid $410 for a pair of hood hinges (not a Buick).

Where can one get the black, flexible wire tubing (hose) for the heating ducts in the engine compartment? Thanks!

Thanks Todd. I'll take a look there (as soon as this monsoon ends). LHop

Thanks. It's a little bit more difficult than that. The guy who installed the carpet about 10 years ago used a carpet adhesive. Plus, the cardboard (that's all it really is) panels at the side and back are so fragile that if I try to get the tucked carpet out from under, I'm sure they will...

Can someone tell me more exactly where this is? The manual says there is an access hole cover under the floor mat on the left side (Really? A 66-year-old floor mat still alive? Mine has carpet, firmly attached and tucked under the top and side panels) that accesses the filler cap nut. In...

Anybody know where I could find driver's side cardboard trunk panel? Tried all the usual Buick parts houses.

Hello, Have a 53 Super, all original. I'm not a mechanic, just a driver. I love that car; I try to keep it up, but have serious financial limitations. I just spent $700 for brakes recently, that's all I have in the car fund. Wanted you to know where I'm coming from. So my question...

This may be the dumbest question of the year, but I'll ask anyway, 1953 Suoer. I'm replacing a part of the front carpet - driver's side got wet and moldy/rotten. When I cut it out and pulled it up, there was some kind of padding underneath. About 1/2" thick fibrous, I'm betting full of...

Hey Tom, You're a genius! Got it out. Now, if you wanna come to Calif. and help me re-upholster it, I'll buy you a beer! L Hop

Can anyone give me some hints / instructions on removing the rear seat back (not where your butt goes, where your back goes). There are two clips on the bottom corners that are easy, but beyond that, no movement, and I don't want to force it. Thanks!

I need some bumper chroming, basic (not show) quality. San Francisco area prices are getting outrageous. Everyone just quotes from a manual of some sort, no competition. I'm wanting to pay a fair price to small business, but have limits, and if I have more than one (which I do) expect some...

Hopefully, one of you body repair gurus can help me. I have a 53 Super, good condition, your basic "10-footer". That's all I want it to be. I have 3 other classics and they are all the same - basic originals. I don't have the time (or money) to restore any of them perfectly, and like them...
