mine are steel.  I,ll have to look and see if I have  a receipt in the garage.

I got mine from a place in Indiana they fit good and look and good also git a sunvisor from same place. I,ll have to see if I can find a name

I called pertronic they said with gyromatic I would need that resistor. Only problem is could not find one anywhere. Stayed with points ignitition. Seems to really like to eat its points but runs ok.

I may have to give that  a try

I need 10 wt oil for my gyromatic. Got it before at farm and home. Now nobody has anything but 30  wt. any sugestions on where to look>?

I'll have to check my book but I think the top plug is to tighten shift fork the middle is to fill and the bottom is drain. 

I didn't find an y loose wire but trans was low on oil. Added close to a half quart. started raining hard so I couldn't drive it. I will tomorrow be surprised if it  doesn't makes some difference being that low                                

1950 dodge   When I slow down for a corner if turning left it shifts down like it should. I turning right it never shifts down automatically  This is in high side of trans  anybody have any ideas what the problem might be.?

Mine will die like that     but not immediatly it will just idle down the die. Too high idle and it doesn't want to shift up. Runs great other than that. M6 trans.

If I come to complete stop and push clutch in it will shift down most times. When I take off I let off gas and i will shift up.Use clutch when stopped.

solenoid broke off on mine filled hole with jb weld. would be nice to find a solenoid.

Pertronix told me what resistor to use and sent me a diagram where to wire it in. I just need to find one if I want to go this route.

They told me about resistor. All I have to do now is figure out where to get it.

I'm really wanting to go electronic ignition. Has anybody used pertronix on 1951  Dodge 230 flathead? If so what did you use? I'm thinking Pertronix 1362 but I saw 1 guy say it wouldn't work on Dodge. Pertronix website says for chrysler 6 cyl. Anybody have an opinion?

I bought a set from weinstein, they were crap! Thin as paper didn't last anytime!!

I put a new crank in a furd years ago. Forgot to put in pilot bearing and thats what happened.

I got 10wt oil at farm and home store.

Starter on my 50 Dodge did the exact Same thing a few years ago. Found a guy had a used one. I took broke piece off it and out on mine. Working good so far.

could it be for afterburner in tail pipe?

I have a set off my 50 Dodge Coronet. Think they would be the same?

I've always read to cure this you need heavy battery cables. Surprised no mentioned this now.

years ago I had a 53 ply with hy-drive now have a 50 dodge gyromatic. I liked liked hy- drive a lot better except at oil change time.

When I bought my Dodge I noticed a wire unhooked on regulator. Then saw the battery was hooked backwards. Some people just don't know about positive ground.

I got a set of points from rock auto. Best looking points I' seen in a long time. A lot better made set than I'v e been getting from parts store.
