They are 5 on 5". Back in the day you often found Buick wheels on Packards.


When I got my Cavalier it had 2 green Buick rims on it. Made me curious what happened to the others.

But they're all Packard rims now! Cleaning and painting rims was last fall's project.

Good!!! Maybe we're doing something right.


I was given the glove box (not in the car) with a wee pile of papers-n-stuff for Super Fred. I reckon that I shall go through them and try to determine what someone else thought of it and what, if anything, they did. I also need to go to get copies of keys made. Looks like the 2 I have work the ignition and the trunk. None for the doors. I reckon I'll have to get a locksmith to come out and make me some keys because if the plunger gets pushed down and the door gets closed, I'll be calling one then.


The seller called me last night to make sure we got home okay and to inquire what's going to happen first. Funny he wants to keep up. Not bad for a Ford Guy . . . .

Yer but. Some poor B will end up with your car and have a water pump issue and wonder what the heck is going on. It sounds good but I would recommend that you put a repair kit through your existing pump. It would also be a good idea to convert the 288 to the 327 and bore it out 60 thou. Good luck anyway. I may have some parts if you need same.

Interesting idea if it works and definitely cheaper than a repro pump. There were two style pumps for that block the main difference being in the later casting which moved the fan and pulley down due to the much lower radiators in 51-4 cars.

Is the water distribution tube intact, clean, and in good shape the entire length? A dirty or damaged distribution tube slowing water down or letting it leak out somewhere instead of squirting on the exhaust valve seats the full length has been found to be the cause in many an overheating engine.


Good point, the block is surprisingly free of rust and scale, the water distribution tube is brass and slid out easily, unlike the Dodge six flatheads I fixed up where the tubes were rusted in & came out in small pieces.

Where are you located? If you're willing to drive a bit, I have a stack of spare wheels which will fit, and the landlady can hook you up.
