  1. Should have added the three speed with fluid drive may not need 10 wt in trans
  2. My gyromatic trans behind fluid drive has a tag on it to use 10 wt in trans
  3. Does anybody know of a source for a starter for 50 Dodge? The bendix bit the dust on mine. It just spins and won't engage.
  4. the fluid drive tranny takes 10 wt motor oil not gear lube
  5. 3 years ago a guy offered me $5000 for my 53 dodge pickup. Like a fool I took it been sorry ever since. It wasn't perfect by any means but I did everything myself. Bought 50 coronet. It is a lot better to drive which I do all the time. But I wish I would have kept the truck.
  6. 52b318 The shifter away and down is high range. Up like 2nd gear is low range.
  7. My 50 dodge doesn't have a resister. If changed to 12 volts you need one to keep from burning up points. I've had mine up to 80 with more to go./ Are you sure your getting in high range.
  8. Engine pic looks like rubber gasline could be laying on head. If it was to melt a hole in line the whole thing be gone. Also looks like bumpers on moredoor are a lot better looking could be put on chopper.
  9. How about the one that gave 5lbs of sugar with fillup
  10. That pin holds the pump arm. A word of warning my Dodge quit and I had it towed home. Iwas taking the fuel pump off and that pin had slipped out to the point that the arm came off.When I removed pump the arm fell into the oil pan. I put o0n an electric pump and that rod is still in the pan. Try to push the rod back in place before you try to remove fuel pump.
  11. I have a 50 coronet. Looked everywhere for side trim finally gave up and dechromed and filled holes. Runs great and I love to drive it as much as I can. Shows 58000 miles don't fnow if thats all it has. Norust except 1 small spot beside lower trunk lid which seems to be a common area. These are built like a tank and are about that heavy.
  12. About my statement about fluid drive crankshaft. I went back through the threads and see the fluid drive shaft had 8 holes and reg 3sd shaft had 4. But I saw that they can be lined up so the 4 holes will bolt to the 8 hole shaft. I stand corrected.
  13. I don't see a hole for pilot bearing still think its a fluid drive engine
  14. From amount of holes in crankshaft I think that it is a fluid drive engine I think that will be problem to put flywheel on.
  15. I put electric 6 volt fuel pump on my 50 dodge a few weeks ago. On the first long trip [50mi] carb started leaking real bad. After determining I was going to have to rebuild carb I decided to check fuel pressure to carb. Book says 3.5 to 5 lbs. I had 14 lbs no wonder it leaks. Now going to put pressure regulator in line.
  16. Where can I get a kit for stromberg bxves3 ?
  17. May sound crazy but y brother was always after me to change to 12 volt because my dodge seemed to flood so easy and was hard to start. Now with elect pump I don't touch gas pedal and it starts right up.
  18. If you have Oriellys there thats where I got the precision
  19. Fuel pump died on my 50 dodge so I decided to go to 6 volt electric.Put it in and blew bubbles into tank. when I hooked it up with neg ground it pumps ok. Car is pos ground. Question now is how long will it last with pos grnd hooked to neg side on pump.
  20. With that grain tailgate could it be the bed has a dump lift?
  21. Didn't plymouth have side trim like that on 1942 model?
  22. Wish I had a regular 3 speed. That doesn't look that hard to make.
  23. My tires are bigger than normal speedo is 4 mph slow. Still running hard at 65mph
  24. I had a 3:23 in a pickup with 218 it was fine. I have a 230 with fluid drive 4 speed I have wondered to about putting a 3:23 or something close in it. I wonder how slow it would be on takeoff.
