You must be kidding. If you don’t like it as it is, sell it!

Hello Kyle,

Do you need just the spring, or the whole assembly including the gear and sleeve?

If you need just the spring, can’t you find one of equal length, wire size & tension in a industrial parts supply company like McMaster-Carr.com?

I did my timing chain last year and I am not sure the spring in the tensioner is anything special, per se.

I have an extra assembly and I think the spring is good, but I have to look to see how hard it is to get out of the assembly.

Please advise as to your thoughts on the matter.

Hi Randy,

Some of the instruments on my Series 80 have a “Bar” that runs flat across the back of the instrument through two bar holders and attaches over the two bolts.

In the next few days, I will check my ignition switch / lighting cluster.

The Delco ignition is correct, as is the Waltham “8-day” clock.

The toggles for the Delco ignition / lights are available in either nickel or chrome through a 20’s Buick supplier, like Bob’s Automobilia.

What type of lenses do you need? I have a pair of B&L Stars that may be appropriate for your vehicle. They are in very good shape, although they do not match in color, as one is slightly violet, while the other is nicely clear. I believe that they belong on a later Series 80 than mine, which is a 1924. Advise as you wish.
