I have a friend who has a 1931 Pontiac 2 door Sedan that may be interested is selling. It is a running, driving and stopping original car with an...
Guys, y'all have convinced me on staying with the 364. That was my desire from the beginning. Y'all have been most gracious in offering lots of...

Sorry :)
If we could get together I would do whatever it takes on my part to make it happen.
I would make it worth your time sir. How can we make contact ? Troy
I can't see how to pm on this forum. Is it possible?
That ain't nothin ! You can do that ! Pm me if you would. Troy
It sounds like you know a whole lot :) I very much appreciate the time and info you just put into that post. Very sound and helpful. Pretty...
I think he hard-wired it from the starter. He wired in a toggle switch as well as a push-button, both below the dash. Both work and when I hook up...
Sir you have no idea how much I would be open to you coming over. I live in Madison County and my car is in my garage where we can easily work on...
When I get home I will post up my readings from the test. My friend bypassed the accelerator starter with a push button below my dashboard. He...
Please pardon my ignorance but I am not sure what a wet test is. What he did was he took a test light and hooked it up to some of the different...
Yes sir, I fully agree with you on this. I like the idea of keeping the 364. I will check around on a good shop to rebuild and see what I can find...
I haven't ran it long enough to tell a whole lot. It needs some wiring work before it can be really tested. The coil was getting hot as well. What...
My 364 Nailhead has got pretty low compression on one and fairly low on one more. I am in a quandary about take it out and rebuild or just drop in...
I am not sure of original mileage. The po couldn’t tell me much. I have decent compression on all but 2 cylinders. I am leaning towards getting my...

Thanks for all the input y’all. I am weighing all the advice and will factor y’all’s thoughts in to be sure. My car is the 3-on-the-tree rare one....
I have been at a standstill for a long time on the ol' 57 Buick. Money, time, and skills, or lack thereof are some good enough excuses. I have got...
We checked compression and it's ok so I think at this point I will try and get it on the road first, then if and when I can afford it do a...
I got some but I ain't too happy with my work, so I wont embarrass myself any further by putting them out there. I just got it in the best I...
Man, so many options !! I think I will try the door lock first, although going online and buying several old keys and trying them sounds like fun....
Does anybody know if a special tool is requiered to remove the cylinder from the dash ? Nothing I have tried works, it seems there is a trick or...
I wish I would have kept the patina look now, but I had to do something with the rust I felt.
I have had this ol Buick for 3 or 4 years now and its been a real slow go but I have made a little progress here and there. I have put in a new...
