  1. Since I got the points bounce fixed I readjusted the timing a bit and then had to resync the carbs.

  2. Thanks for all your responses. There are some real nice humane people here. I am often reluctant to post personal things like this on the internet. You never really know the audience. Obviously there are some real classy folks here. The company you have given has been great. I already know today that yes, I will own another dog. They just bring so much to your life. True if we never get attached we are not pained when they pass. However it is worth it. A man's best friend. This was Abby's last trip to the park yesterday. Staring down the donut bag. LOL.

  3. I'm to blame, I revived the thread seeking details of the latching relays used. Mission accomplished, will see one in the mail when I get home.

  4. I did get started on an adapter for the tire changer, but wouldn't ya know it, my neighbor wanted his ATV tires swapped out...I was still kinda dragging from a lingering sinus infection, and coupled with the 100° temps, I was totally gassed by dinner time, so that's been put on hold again for a little while. A week later, I got back to organizing my parts inventory I started over a year ago. I need to clear out that workspace to prep two exterior doors I need to replace on the house, so I was motivated to move this back to the top of the priority list. The work table was covered with layers of boxes of completed project parts and supplies that dated back to last Spring...once I got that cleared off and squared away, there were the rotting boxes and ripped bags and rusty coffee cans and splitting butter tubs of bolts, screws, etc that I had collected from a few trades back in 2012. It took the better part of 2 days to go through everything, identifying hardware that belonged to certain parts of the trucks, hardware that needed to be scrapped, and hardware that belonged elsewhere. There was quite a bit of International Harvester parts mixed in with several bags of Dodge Truck bolts, as well as lawnmower parts, electrical junction box parts, and generic sheet metal screws. I filled up the big coffee can with rusty hardware that was not worth using , probably about 20# of scrap to sell. After separating the good from the bad, I realized that I needed to get all the door hardware out of the deteriorating plastic containers...so on my next trip to town, I picked up a few of those hardware organizers and filled them up. I also had several years' collection of peanut butter, mayo, lemonade mix and peanut plastic containers that I finally got to use, and several larger tubs to compartmentalize all this hardware. It's been a tedious task that was long overdue, but now I have an organized hardware inventory and freed up a shelf on a storage rack...MISSION ACCOMPLISHED

  5. Keith that's a great pic of Abby on the bench. I laughed when I saw her in the Gap shirt. The reason I laughed we also have a boxer, ours was a rescue dog from the pound. When we first got her she had a very skittish nature, easily startled and has some weird ways about her. We've had her about a year and a half, it's gotten better but it's still noticeable. Anyway this past winter we kept her and our heeler in the laundry room when it was cold out. The heeler has a thick coat but the boxer not so much. My wife bought the boxer a sweater. When she put that sweater on that dog and set it outside I darn near peed my pants laughing. Ginger ( the dogs name, not my wife ) walked like she was really afraid to move, she stepped with her legs stiff and very far apart. She saw me laughing and looked so humiliated and disgusted. My wife feels bad goes and takes the sweater off Ginger. I got it on video but lost it when my last phone died. This was an Americas Funniest videos winner hands down!

  6. My carburetor sat for years, I soaked it for days then rebuilt it but it had a very similar problem needing the throttle pulled out or it would stall...disassembled and rebuilt it every year for 5 years with no improvement... eventually swapped it out for a donor I found on eBay and that fixed that problem...my guess is that one of the check balls was sticking

  7. Just some pictures off a goggle search_ _ do not know if this is a help- one pic is Chrysler but appears to be the same- almost?. Where the speaker mounts is not shown. Maybe some has the 1953 Plymouth accessories book that shows some more? DJ 1953 PLYMOUTH MOPAR 608 RADIO PHOTOFACT eBay.html 1953 CHRYSLER 824 , DODGE 820, & PLYMOUTH 819 RADIO PHOTOFACT eBay.html

  8. A great compromise between aerosol bombs and powdercoating is this stuff I get from my local auto body supply. Before you spray, you insert a provided tool into the bottom of the can. A hardener is then released into the paint and a super hard finish is the result. They mix any color of your choosing. I pay $23 a can at Finishmasters. Expensive but no reducers, hardeners, strainers, formulas, etc. and goes on smooth and opaque to the bottom of the can. Great for cab interior work too.

  11. I have a stock Model "A" that I just let it blow intell it finds Its owen level and it stops blowing. That said I have fellow "A" club members that have catch can's that do work on the non pressureized sytem. What they did was mount a container on the support rods that go from the firewall to the radiator, which is a little higher then the radiator. It is a vented container, the water just drains back to the radiator. Wayne

  12. what you can do is ....take an old plastic coke bottle, hang it in the motor compartment........fill the rad and drive it, when the coolant goes into the bottle, empty it into another jug. Keep doing this until no more coolant goes into the coke bottle. Then you know that all the expansion is taking place within the radiator and pissing it out.

  13. The overflow tank is supposed to catch the excess coolant as it expands and return it to the radiator as the system cools keeping the radiator full. As long as the radiator cap has a seal to the radiator the recovery tank should work. The system in our trucks were designed to have an air gap at the top of the radiator, if the tank is too full it will send the excess out the overflow tube, unlike the modern motors that are designed for a catch tank and a full radiator.

  14. Good morning. I believe that the overflow tank is designed for a pressurized cooling system-which our flathead vehicles do not have. Since the system isn't sealed-it wouldn't be able to create a vacuum to draw the fluid in the overflow tank back into the cooling system if and when needed. The overflow tube's purpose is to get rid of excess coolant that would otherwise boil out the cap and cover the engine once it "hit the fan". If I'm wrong-someone here will surely correct me. Just my 2 cents. Mike
