This approval gives you full access to the site, to pictures, and to post, among other things.

    Welcome back! My 64 Electra had a limited slip in it too. Factory installed.

    My Electra has it as well; - cost me a pretty penny to get rebuilt, but well worth it!

    Too bad that neither Buick nor any other manufacturer will sell you a car that attractive and well built for $36k today.

    Quick question for you guys with a 64 electra. Does your oil light come on when you turn the key to acc before you start it?

    Disconnecting the light bulb or the sensor was a popular thing to do in northern climates when the cars were just used cars; - try and start one of these cars unplugged at -40 F. They'll start, but since it's pulling oil (at -40, it's more like butter than fluid oil), from the sump in the back of the motor and the pump is in the front, it had this alarming tendency to heat up the pump gears quicker than the housing, and since they are dissimilar metals, it would tear the clearances out of the oil pump, which meant the idiot light would come on in summer heat at idle. Can't have that when trying to sell it, so a lot got disconnected and never hooked up again.

    Well the simple answer might be a dead bulb?
