Question
I AM HAVING TROUBLE LOCATING THE CORRECT SPARK PLUG FIRING ORDER FOR A 1940 BUICK SPECIAL 40 SERIES MOTOR. ANY HELP WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED.

Answer
Hi Jim:
I will have to search around, because this is one of the most difficult question to answer. However, GM put the firing order on the top of the engine of many of there cars. Not sure if yours was one of them, but see if it is and if it is still visible. Otherwise, we may have to look elsewhere. Get back to me and I will research it further. Thanks.

Expertise

Visit my website at: http://www.classytransportation.com/ I can answer most questions about autos built in the 60's 70's and 80's. Specifically, Lincolns, Rolls Royces and the Excaliburs. Mechanical issues and technical questions are my expertise. I also have a general knowledge of most older automobiles. Keep in mind, I can only provide answers if the questions are very specific and complete. Without details, I can only speculate and that's not good for solving your problem.

Experience

I have owned and maintained Silver Shadows for over 10 years now. I find most mechanics and even Rolls Royce mechanics have very little knowledge about these automobiles. I have researched these cars in quite a bit of detail and can pretty much tell you what is wrong, if you can describe the behavior in detail. I have saved quite a few RR owners a lot of money and aggravation due to improper diagnosis. I am the owner of Classy Transportation, LLC a luxury limousine service specializing in antique cars, classic cars, vintage cars and exotic cars.
