With the 4 speed in place, Id like to get new pads for the clutch brake assembly. I see some repros out there, and even one with a disc on the brake.. did Buick use these? Should I get this one? Or this one
Curtis, Buick did not use a disc brake pad on 4 speeds. The one you show on the bottom is close but not correct either. The Buick style should have 4 lines top and bottom. That one has 5. Fusick Olds is the only one I know of that sells the correct style with 4 upper and 4 lower horizontal lines.
The pads shown are Camaro/Nova pads, and are repos of part #s 3921648 and 3935721 besides the rib design they have notches for stainless steel trim. Many vendors list these for Chevelle, Cutlass and Skylarks. The part # 3858198 is correct for both clutch and brake pedals on GM A bodies except Pontiacs up to 1973. The Chevelles also had a part # 3934000, with the stainless "Disc Brakes" insert. Thanks to copperheadgs1 on the Fusicks lead as I have been searching for correct repos. Also as my Buick parts catalogs and assembly manuals are lacking, I wasn't sure if the Buicks used the Pontiac style pads and trim or not. Russ
