I did the shock relocation on my 48 Dodge Club Coupe with a 318 and R & P steering. I also have an all stock original 1941 Chrysler Windsor 4dr sedan with the addition of radial tires. The radials on the 41 made it drive and handle like a dream. If I had it to do over again I probably wouldn't do the shock relocation although it was no big deal.

Wasn't getting fire from the coil on my 41 Chrysler with vacamatic transmission, I removed the wire from the distributor that goes to the "ignition interrupting switch". That made the coil secondary circuit hot.

Thank you to everyone that has taken the time to respond to my question. I think I have located the problem. When I removed the wire (#19) from the distributor that goes to the "ignition interrupter switch"(LL) (for Vacamatic transmission control) my coil fired like it should. The point were going to ground all the time until I removed that wire. Will now check wire for a ground and the switch. I assume that this switch is located on the transmission .

I've tried that but will try it again.

Nothing else seems to be on as the battery is staying up. Have checked the lead to the distributor but will check again. Pretty sure the little thin wire in the distributor is ok. No fire from coil to distributor. Thanks for the replies.

Need help!!!! Can’t get my all stock 41 Chrysler to start. Was starting and running just fine up until about a month ago. Now not getting enough spark from the coil. I’ve tried two new coils and no luck. Yes, I’ve checked, cleaned rechecked and recleaned the grounds. I even replaced the ground cable to the block. Also have cleaned the “hot” terminals. Battery is new at full power, 6.2 volts. Engine cranks over just fine but the spark from the coil is so weak you can barely see it and I can hold on to the wire. When cranking engine getting 5 volts to the coil. Is this normal? I checked and secured the wires on the ignition switch.

Free to a good home: Transmission and related parts from a 330 56 Desoto Hemi also Steering column and gear box from my 48 Dodge.

Just Googled Metro Molded Parts and they show gravel shields for 41 Desoto .
-
I had thought about spray on product such as bed liner also. I replace the rear fenders on my 41 Chrysler with N.O.S. "running board" fenders with no gravel shield mounting holes. I did this in about 1975. I've lived this long with out gravel shield so I probably won't worry about them. If Metro Molded Parts still around, they may have them.

The inner fenders and radiator core support are one unit. The fender bolts at the front to the radiator support and at the rear to the cowl and under the chrome trim and down the inside of the firewall. The inner fender also bolts to the fender along the top lip.

Today Aug 31 is the first time I have been on this site in quite a while. Sorry for not responding sooner. The inner fender does not bolt to the firewall, I don't think. I don't have the car at home, I'll look at it tomorrow and jog my mind.

My first love (old car speaking) .Wish I still had it. Good luck.

Just had to remove dimmer switch on my 41 Chrysler which has been in storage the last 4 plus years and clean the wire terminals to get the head lights to work. While your on headlight maintenance remove the blubs and clean the sockets and grounds.

My 41 Chrysler(original) runs fine with the choke about half closed.
-
-
Would this condition be a cause to run with the choke about half closed?

Anyone have a suggestion on how to remove this 76 year old rubber that has baked on the deck lid of my 41 Chrysler???
-
If you're not into car shows that's ok. Just look at this event as better than V.I.P. parking and the registration fee as a donation to a good cause and not to our pockets. July 22 is the date for The Ohio Challenge Open Charity Car Show at Smith Park in Middletown, Ohio. Hope to see many old Mopars.

Check the NAPA web site for a fuel pump. Got one for my 41 Chrysler from them just last fall.
-
Thanks for the information, just what I needed.

I'm wanting to replace the ignition coil on my 41 Chrysler Windsor. I have a new coil BUT of course its not like the old original one and I'm not quite sure the correct way to hook it up. Has anyone changed their old original coil with a modern type coil?
-
Fab one up, not much to them.
-
The engine prefix nuber on my 41 Chrysler Spitfire Six starts with "C-28". So the prefix number does not indicate the year of the car.
-
Welcome. Don't overlook the NAPA web site for old Mopar parts, they carry some parts for them. I just last fall got a fuel pump for my 41 Chrysler C-28 from NAPA.

Thanks all.
