So I'm restricted to the Plymouth caps? Will the 48 cap fit my 52 wheel?
-
Has anyone used after market center caps on there factory 52 wheels? I was looking at the Baby moon bullet caps but they don't fit. Need suggestions on what fits on to the wheels with the spring type holders
-
Hey guys, has anyone used big Jim's fender skirts before? I see on the website they have some listed for a 51 Plymouth which I assume is the same as my 52. I would have liked to use agape but they won't ship to NZ. Cheers
-
Cheers John, that's the way I have decided to go, for the same reason. Would be annoying to rebuild the fuel pump only to find it's in the way when I change manifolds. Only issue I can see is finding somewhere at the back to mount the fuel pump. As far as I'm aware the pump should be lower than the tank?
-
I see companies like rock auto sell a whole new pump. Are they worth while or am I best to get a seal kit for the one I have?
-
For those of you who have dual or even triple carbs, are you running the factory fuel pump or have you upgraded to electric? My fuel pump is starting to seep fuel out and I'm wondering if it's worth replacing as I am planning on upgrading the manifold shortly. Thanks
-
Cheers Andy. What external oil filter is that? Looks cool
-
Thanks just what I wanted to hear. To be fair it probably doesn't matter what I put in it as it all dribbles out pretty quickly haha
-
Can someone please tell me where to top up the gearbox oil on my 52 cranbrook 3 speed? And do I fill to the top? My trans has got quite a leak so I figured I better top it up again. (I know I should fix the leak haha I'll get to that another day)
-
Cheers Andy, was hoping to find a match for the one I have so I can order a dual carb manifold. I suppose I could find 2 holden carbs if that is easier
-
Yeah mate I'm a fair way away haha. Cheers for the offer tho
-
Yep not a happy chap. To be fair maybe I tried to cut some costs and sent the shaft through my friends work (who is a truck engineer) to a company they use for their custom truck drive shafts. Lesson learned I guess
-
So I got pissed off and went and picked my driveshaft up today. They basically handed me back some scrap metal. Looks like I'm getting a whole new shaft made up. Grrr
-
Can anyone tell me what carb I would have on my 52 Cranbrook? I know it's a Carter but is it an el-1? I have found another for sale locally that looks the same but the numbers stamped into it are different. Thanks
-
The driveshaft hasn't been put in the car yet it's still in the shop trying to be balanced. They are suggesting putting a slip yoke up front but they are saying that it will be expensive to do. To the tune of around $500 just for the slip yoke
-
Not entirely sure. As far as I'm aware they have chopped the rear section off the original driveshaft and welded the rear section of the Cherokee shaft on. I would assume that's the most common way?
-
My thoughts exactly!
-
They have done the welding. I sent them both shafts
-
Hey guys, I am part way through swapping a Cherokee rear end into my 52 Cranbrook. Doing the diff swap was a piece of cake but I an having major issues with the driveshaft company. I have had the rear of the Cherokee shaft welded onto the Plymouth shaft and they don't seem to be able to balance it. They are blaming the front of the Plymouth shaft saying it's a CV coupling? Any one else had this issue? Any suggestions?
-
Yep that's what I was wondering. It only happens if I turn the electric pump on to help prime it if I haven't started in a few weeks. Wondering if it's just a case of the cork seal drying out a little?
-
Those of you with the in line electric fuel pump, are they mounted before or after the mechanical pump? I have one before the mechanical pump and occasionally it pushes fuel out the seal around the glass bowl, even with a new seal.
-
Good info. I have been thinking about running an electric fan purely for the noise issues of the mechanical fan
-
Yep, I'm going to modify the one I have to fit the centre over the new one. Should look ok. I'm going to pull the steering wheel off and give it a respray while I'm at it. Any advice for pulling the wheel? Is it just a matter of undoing the nut in the centre and giving it a yank?
-
Damn haha this is the one I just bought
-
I pick it up tomorrow so hopefully I can make it work somehow other wise I'm back to the epoxy plan and I have some $20 wall art....
