Answer
I am the expert in the American Motors category. This includes vehicles made by American Motors Corporation. If you have a Gremlin, Concord, AMX, Javelin, Hornet, Rambler, Matador, Ambassador, Pacer, or Nash...I can help you. Buicks are made by General Motors. I do not know anything about Buicks, sorry. Please submit your question to the General Motors or Buick expert.
