  1. Hi all, This weekend we were replacing the condenser on my '33 Plymouth. The car was starting hard, idling perfectly, and then running rough once it warmed up. Solved the problem! But, my husband was giving a visual check and thinks the wire to my distributor might be the incorrect gauge. Photo attached with an arrow to the wire in question. I searched and couldn't find an answer online or in my manual. What do the wiring gurus here think is an acceptable gauge? I'm still running 6 volt. Engine is a 189 straight 6. Thanks, Melissa
  2. Hi Tod. Always nice to meet other '33 owners! When I was about to adjust the brakes on the '33 for the first time I did a quick google search and your website came up. Great to have all that info in one place to reference! I can only imagine where the running changes can make things quite tricky to ID parts and cars. ? Yes, I am in California. Right in the heart of Los Angeles, near USC / downtown.
  3. When we purchased the body and frame of the PC, the guy selling it was convinced it was a 34 Ford. LOL sure. You can call it Susan if you like so long as the price makes sense. Old cars are funny that way. The green Caddy is my husbands car... a 1941 Cadillac Series 62 with a little upgrade, a 500 engine. He found it like that and is keeping it that way for now. He would really would prefer the original setup with the flathead. It has other more urgent needs anyway. Here's the glamour shot.
  4. There may be other differences, chime in if you know it. Our main challenge when the focus was on collecting all the parts to complete the PC was getting correct sets of hood sides. Then having the two models side by side was really interesting in the end. From my experience with these two cars, the PD is 3" longer through the front. You see the difference in the length of the hood and front fenders. The front fender length from notch to the corner of the running board is 3" longer. PD= 16" PC=13" The hood panels on the PD are 2 1/2" longer. PD=45 1/2" PC= 43" The radiator cap on the PD is part of the hood ornament and is accessible on the top of grill shroud. The radiator cap on the PC is accessible off the side, from inside the engine compartment. The PD dash has a glove compartment while the PC does not. Here are a few photos with measurements for those needing to ID parts.
  5. NIce car! It's always awesome to meet other '33 owners! Amazing how well some of them survived through the years!
  6. Hi all, I've been lurking here for a little while. I bought my first flathead powered car this year and am finding great info on here! Figure I should introduce myself ? This year I bought another 1933 Plymouth sedan. This one is an original survivor complete with the original 189 straight six. My first '33 was meant to be more of a hotrod. I learned that building a car from the ground up was just a little too much project for me. It's been mostly sitting for the better part of 10 years. Then my husband talked some sense into me... why not just buy one that's already running. That landed me to my current '33 and we sold the hotrod. If anyone is interested in measurements/ differences between the PC and PD models, I can give you info. I took a lot of details shots of the two cars together while I still could. The hotrod was a PC, the black one a PD. Here's some photos of my new to me car. ~Melissa
