Before DIY'ing, I would take it (send pics) to a few PDR places around town to see a) if anyone will do it, and b) how much they would charge

I guess many of us just lost our sense of wonder, sorry 😇 Now, if the sun turned into a supernova, that's different...

Hey, Ivan...just saw your post...thanks for this! The videos are definitely interesting, and I may just give it a shot before bringing it to the body doctor...I'll keep the board posted...thanks again!

Had accident with my newly completed 52 Dodge Coronet

Sorry about your accident. Painful all around, but looks fixable. If you were trying to post an add, it cost $5. Maybe that's why it asked for a CC? -
Best way to flush / clean radiator. Not installed.
Dan Hiebert replied to rcl700's topic in P15-D24 Forum
Start simple. Flush it in both directions with clean water. Pay attention to the flow in each direction, as well as how much stuff is in the water. If it doesn't flow to your satisfaction, or if you don't like how much gunk is in the water, then apply more caustic remedies. Check for leaks by submerging the radiator after it's drained and using air. Plug the filler neck, inlet, and outlet, apply air to the overflow at very low psi, as in no more than 5 psi or so. Any leaks will be more apparent this way. -
For consideration, I purchased a carb rebuild kit from these folks (The Carburetor Doctor) last year. The carburetor in our D24 has an odd number that this Forum helped track down, and then this shop was very helpful in finding the correct kit, a kit for the "normal" D24 carb would not have had all the parts.

What does the other guy look like? -
Absolutely true but this eclipse is visible from our little speck of dust called Earth, our satellite called the moon, and our local star. That’s what makes it so truly amazing to me!

Parts will be out there. Not sure where and what the cost will be but it’s fixable. Young Ed on this forum got into an accident a few years ago with his P15 and it was a lot worse than yours. It got fixed and car looks great. It hurts to have your car damaged but it is fixable. There are a lot worse things in life that can and unfortunately do happen. -

Not sure how to go about asking for parts! is it allowed in this forum? I clicked on classified section and they asked for my credit card!! I never give out my card unless I’m buying an actual part! please help don’t know where to start
-
Yes they where. I don't see any cooler stuff on that one, just the throttle pressure rod looking like one.
-
Thank you @desoto1939 & @Doug&Deb for the quick response! This documentation will help me with the correct lengths since I basically have wire ends to work with and that's it ( photo from above was an eBay find ) Thanks Again!

Well, technically it is not being blocked, we are just seeing the moon shadow, for a short while. Similar to if you pull your visor to cover the sun while driving, everyday 😋 Also, I am pretty sure this happens everywhere throughout our galaxy since each star we see in just another "sun" with some planets around it. In fact, astronomers/astrophysicists sort of watch eclipses around other cosmic bodies all the time. If I recall correctly, this is one of the ways to scientifically determine if there are planets around stars or satellites around planets. When one body overshadows the other in front of an observer, you can detect slight changes in its brightness, and when this happens at periodic time internals you can readily determine what's going on in the given "solar" system far far away from us

I am not sure. Do you still have the old metal line sticking from the carb? It should have a flare connection. You can take that line with you to the store and get a gas-resistant hose that fits, and clamp it to the metal line. Also, the OEM system should have a rubber hose between the fuel pump (on the engine) and the metal line (mounted to the body). You can just cut that hose and connect your new hose in there. However, I would not mess around with a temporary tank unless you are just testing (and you do not need a temporary tank for testing). I would definitely not attempt to drive with one. Just get the old tank and lines cleaned, it is not difficult and should not take long.

I can’t believe so few people seem enthralled by the eclipse. I am no where near the line of the eclipse but still amazed by it. You could fit over a million Earths inside the sun and it is going to be blocked by the moon that has a diameter 1/4 that of Earth. Probably not many places in our galaxy of 140 billion+ stars can that happen. If you are not totally amazed by what happens in our solar system, galaxy, universe, I feel sorry for you.

Some of those FB groups are really trying hard to weed out the scammers, but this place, as a sort of "community", makes a person a whole lot more at ease to make a deal with someone you don't know face to face. But I watch those groups mainly for photos of the cars, mainly detail pictures that might someday help me (or someone else) know how things go back together. Then the interior photos, for original detail in cloth pattern, etc. (I don't really look twice at the heavily customized cars. Not that I exactly despise them or something, but there's no need to know "what it's supposed to look like" if it's going to be a custom.)
-
usually the best seat for this is your living room watching it on the TV....my only advice, to enjoy turn off the sound and deaded out the humdrum play by play commentary crap. If you have seen one eclipse you've seen them all....crossed this off my list long ago....

You know Facebook has a lot of Mopar parts for sale it may be a good source to find what you are looking for. This forum here is great for information, but the classifieds adds are every minimal. I bet the Plymouth 7-passenger body would be the same the difference would be the tail lights and the deck lid emblem.

That's not the converter for this transmission. I just scrapped this transmission. I desperately needed the space and cleaning out due to most likely a divorce. Most folks here in So California switch to Cheby V8/auto trans drivetrain so not much demand for it here and too heavy to shift. Thank You all for the input I truly appreciate it.

Optional Gear Ratio for 3 speed or Overdrive Transmission
Loren replied to Loren's topic in P15-D24 Forum
All ready to re-install. I bought this one on eBay for $400 delivered. When I changed the Counter Shaft Gear ( aka Cluster gear ) I didn't like the countershaft so I replaced it with a good used one. The reverse lock out switch was open so I replaced that as well. Other than those items it was in very good shape. If you are going to go through one of these, the service manual and a parts book will help. There's a couple of little secrets you have to know about. Example: the lockout arm must be retracted to take the back housing off and there is this tiny tapered pin you have to drive out with a pin punch to do that. If the transmission is covered in grease you may not find it. I got all my parts super clean and checked the movement and function at each stage of assembly. I did not however install the governor as the book says to do. When I rolled the transmission over on the bench the pawl slid into place and things wouldn't turn as expected. I took it apart once more and figured out what had happened. Not a bad thing as I am now really good at assembly and disassembly for the experience. lol Of course it happened again and I simply turned it over and the pawl slid back into its rest position. Since my Suburban has Back Up Lights I wanted to see if I could add the switch with the Overdrive. It does fit and it does work! The beauty of the B-W R10 G1 Overdrive is all the MoPar replacement parts fit. Most of the wear parts in the Overdrive unit are standard B-W parts common to the other makes that used it. The reverse lock out switch is different however. When you see them on eBay most sellers call them a "Neutral safety switch" because that is what they look like. If p/n 1370-462 ever becomes hard to find at a decent price an adaptor could be made to fit a "real" neutral safety switch. ( another note: there's a short little round part that relays the movement of the reverse shift shaft to the switch. If you remove the switch under the car it will fall out and you could lose it. Best to check it before you install the transmission ) -
@Ivan_B Ok cool. I should of specified im just wanting to get fuel hose and rig up a boat tank not fuel line. But it should be the same size right?
