MarcDesoto. Im havin the exact same question to myself right now. I found a neoprene that claims it's a good with fuel but I'm curious if you went the fuel pump route and how everything turned out.
Thanks ggdad1951 that worked well and solved the gasket issue. I thought I had cleaned up really well where those seat but I guess not. A leak still remains but now I can see its out of the accelerator shaft.
I have been having the same issue as flashbuddy with his carb leak. When I got the rebuild kit for the carb the gaskets seemed very thin. I have a decent leak coming from the gaskets which I think is drawing more air in the system. Has anyone had trouble with this? I checked and double checked thr float at the correct height in the service manual, the shut off valve is seated probably, just the leak out the sides badly.
This is the picture from Flashbuddy and its exactly where my leak is.
Hey guys, I am in process of putting Tom Langdon split exhaust on and I have a leak from one of the studs. So after digging around on thr forum this is the closest I could find to thr issue I'm having. The leak is at the nut and I was able to tighten it to where it would stop but I'm wondering if I should take everything off and permatex at the engine block rather than at the nut.
Thanks pflaming. Unfortunately it wasn’t in quite good enough shape to drive. Been sitting awhile, but it’s all there just frozen in time. Yes I saw online there’s a manual just for these overdrives. (Whew). That’s the only real modern upgrade I’ve made and it was when I was just 16 when Plydo was still around and I got a conversion kit for front disc brakes on the front.
Well I scored the 49 plymouth with the r10g overdrive in it and everything looks to be there and intact. I’m excited now! I’m a bit of a young guy so this swap with definitely be a learning experience for me. Should be a perfect fall/winter project.
Thanks greg g that’s what I was looking for. I was pretty certain the chrysler would be no go, but just wanted to see what anyone else had done similar. The od on the 49 appears to be all there and in decent shape. The guy selling it doesn’t know if it works been sitting a long time. So I guess I’ll take the chance and see what kind of shape it’s in once i get ahold of it.
Can someone give me some advice on a transmission swap for a plymouth special deluxed sedan. Ive been thinking of swapping the transmission out of a 49 plymouth that has an overdrive, but i also have been thinking of purchasing a 49 chrysler windsor with a fluid drive near me. The goal is to have good gear ratios for in town and then be able to cruise on the highways without screaming the engine and gears. Any advice is appreciated.
