get the longest screw driver on flat bar you have. with a flashlight look thru the grill at the hood locking pin, release lever. With patience you should be able to maually release. Just did it!!! On the above post about lifting the front end, glad it worked, but I think you a few impending problems!!!!

Have been doingthe same job. Try this heat the bolt/nut spray a little WD40 on them, lots of smoke. but they always come out So far only have broken two in removing all of the front sheet metal, fenders, inner fenders, cab doors and runnign boards

Just bought a set from ESPO $200. less than Detroit

Picasa Web Albums [picasaweb-noreply@google.com] Well finally have the car clean and ready for tonights local car show. Here are the numbers 4986 miles driven, 43 stops for gas, gas mileage 10-18 mpg, burned 3 quarts of oil, three flat tires( one nail and two tube failures), found one pair of vise grip pliers while fixing a flat, 91 cars registerd for the show, met a lot of new people, Party in Parking lot continues to gain strength. Car ran flawlessly, started in all types of weather and elevations, though tended to run at 190 degrees on those long 400 mile days with air temp in the 90's High lights, Craig and I left June 9 about 6:00 pm drove to Manhattan Ks, June 10 high winds and heat across kansas to colorado springs. June 11 Pikes Peak, totally worth the trip. June 12 met with the Berkheimers (62 & 63) and Reddish's (74 Satellite) June 11 Laramie Wy, that night Lee Lape (65), Denny Cutchall (72 Fury) and John Mcmormick (06 Truck) Now we had a convoy off to the Tetons and Yellowstone. Bosie Idaho, Spanky Cox (64 Wagon) and Bill Ward (50 Club Coupe) Now We had a real convey heading into Portland. Its was the neatest thing I have done in a long time, great new friends, stories and saw many beautiful sights.

Been There done it, I used a long screw driver and around the latch area, you should be able to push on it, click and your open

Joe, I cut up pieces of inner tube, a little silicon Good to go

I like the trickle charge

your getting close.. I am amazed that when you try and help people get what they are looking for, they dont reply or they say its too expensive. But when they want to sell something its a differnt story.. Oh well I will just put it back on the shelf

Absolutley, rare parts have their value, and that is what I thought you wanted, The manifold is less than 3K

DC, drininking that concoction is proof you can put lead in your pencil

Mikey, I have several number matching intake manifolds. if interested let me know asap. I had the number matching head you where looking for and you never responded?

Thats what I am talking about, if you do it right the first time, the project is over in no time and then you have to buy another car. If you rig it up, it takes more time, costs more money and then when people see what you did they just shake their head and walk away muttering "what a moron"

Yes they will work, they only hit for a while until some metal is gound off or somthing more important breaks. Then you get to spend more money foolishly

Anyone know the "new part number for this. Are the Dodge and Plymouth the same?

Mikey, the best way to make sure you get it right, is to buy several differnt styles and then see what works. As far as the bolts are concerned any kind of bolt will work (just go to Lowes), as long as you get at least two of them to thread, it will hold. If the flywheel is too big, just cut the bell housing. Boom, done, finished! Like a friend of mine once said "If you are going to own an old car, you got to learn how to mechanic it your self" and "the more shade tree you are, the easier things go together" and finally "those are extra parts, you don't need them"

All, installed my new gas gauge (two wire) in my 47, Installed the Runzt peice Steve told me about on the gauge side, since I converted it to 12 volt. When I first installed it worked fine, second tank of gas when full only showed 1/2 now nothing???

Mike, I never heard back from you, so I sold it to a local collector. Hope you can find one.

Mikey, never heard back from you about the number matching head I had. Another collector in the area had been asking me relentlessly, so I gave in and let it go to a new home. Good luck on your search

Mike, I told you have one, please submit a bid and its yours. I must say, it a very rare piece and extremely valuable. so if you are interested please let me know, or its going down the road to a private collector

Lets plan a get together in July after the Portland trip

Its getting clsoer and I keep cleaning up the list of to do's This week 1. Bone head wreck 2.
