  1. The oil filter is not a cartridge type. You have to replace the complete unit. They are about $45 and will be shorter than the original. This is if it is still mounted on the firewall.
  2. Tbank you, i have had very limited info out there, any way i can help is others is rewarding. Its weird when you type in 29 DeSoto on google alot of my stuff comes up.?
  3. New development, i believe I found my hesitation. On the ebay carb there was a brass dowel in the top half that my original carb didn't have. Didnt think much about it at first but during assembly i put it in my original carb and found that it moves with the accelerator pump. This dowel depresses the economizer valve which will allow more fuel under acceleration.
  4. And Going down the babbit hole is a thread with tons of info
  5. Nice find, this is hickory and have a wealth of knowledge on the 29 desoto, i have a 4 door k series early 29 and have made wood repairs and vinyl roof repairs on mine. Rebuilt the engine also. Ask questions if needed.
  6. Disassemble old and new carbs and clean. Repainted the old carb and the new carb and true up the surface.
  7. The distributor was in great condition, very tight and clean, all delco parts in it. Points and condenser look original. It looks like a barn find low mileage or rebuilt and found on a shelf. Started sanding for paint.
  8. My 29 is totally different as the crank actually sits up in the block.
  9. And i thought but could be wrong that the neoprene would bolt in the place of the rope seal as a update.
  10. Unfortunately I only have the rope option on my 29. So i have extra neoprene just lying around
  11. Rope seals just suck to do. Im surprised that a 51 had them in it. Some vehicles accepted the new style neoprene seals i think. I would check engine and options.
