I went to NAPA and got universal tractor fluid by Valvoline. Has served me well. From the tech articles: "Universal Tractor Fluid #134". You will need almost 2 full gallons.

Looking for service manual/ assembly manual for 50 Plymouth
48mirage replied to addicted2dunes's topic in P15-D24 Forum
To supplement the service manual, the parts manual has lots of pictures of explded assemblies. Helps when you are trying to put something back together that has 40 pieces. -
Here is what I've got from my parts manual D29, D30 4D, D33 2D, 1949-50 1137 698. D33 except 2D, D34 4D, Cl Cp, Cv Cp, 1950 1319 568. I'm not sure what the difference might be.

If you have a structure to start with then buy some fiberglass and cover the duct with fiberglass. I had some issues with mine. Golf ball hole in the side. The end that attached to the heater core was a little rough. I took it off, cut a piece of 2x4 down to match the end that attached to the heater core. Wrapped the wood in saran wrap and glassed the duct work on 2 sides. When is was dry, I did the other 2 sides. When dry again I removed the piece of wood, cleaned up the edges and painted it black. Stronger and looks good.

When I rewired the horn on mine I had the same problem and couldn't figure out what isolated the 3 armed plate from the rest of the horn. I ended up taking some heat shrink over the ends of the arms to isolate it and it still worked when I pressed on the horn ring.

The contact tri-shaped bar attaches to the steering wheel. The horn ring is attached to the steering wheel by 3 long screws that go in from the back of the steering wheel. You can see in your pic the 3 holes that go all of the way through the wheel.

It rattled the closed doors in the house, I got up to try to figure out what was going on. Pittsburg, Ks.

"The one I put on after the rebuild about a year ago was copper (Mccord 6213) and no sealer was used. I am tempted to reuse it." If it is plain copper you may be able to reuse it if you re-anneal it.

Studs for the Header: Double nut them then try to screw them out by putting your wrench on the inside nut. You might have to tighten the 2 nuts against each other to keep both from turning.

The term "running an engine hard" is probably not the best choice of words. The intent is to put a load on the rings. This is done by acceleration and can also be done by downshifting and letting the engine slow the vehicle. Just sitting in neutral reving the engine doesn't do any good. It is the load that the engine experiences that will seat the rings.

They are top heavy and will try to rotate on you.

+1 If you've got enough to work with a little fiberglass and black spray paint goes a long way.

I did a little research and the best I can figure is that you have to remove about 13 bolts and nuts to remove the plenum to get to the plugs. Then there is the replacement gaskets to add to the costs. I saw one reference to instructions on the autozone website but you had to register to access their repair procedures.

When I had mine done, I got a local welder with experience on cast iron to weld a second outlet on my manifold. $40.00. Been using it for 2 years now.

To adjust the sisson on my D30. After removing the aircleaner block the throttle open about 1/3 open. Move the choke rod until the hole on the opposite side of the sisson aligns with the hole in the brass bearing. Put a pin in that hole so that it holds the sisson in that position. Loosen the clamp screw connecting the sisson to the choke rod. With your finger close the choke butterfly and tighten the clamp on the choke rod. Make sure there is no slop in the clutch rod and remove the pin that held the sisson in position. You should be ready to go. This can be done engine hot or cold.

If I wanted to find you at the HAMB drags who would I be looking for? I live 3 miles from the MoKan strip and was thinking of trying to run by for a little while. I drive a '49 Coronet painted a flat orange. Jim Graham

If you are not committed to original equipment, I put a holley 94 that came off an old ford with automatic on my fluid drive Dodge. The carb had the dashpot needed for the fluid drive. I'm also thinking some carbs off of a slant 6 with automatic will satisfy your needs. May take a little work to mount and get the linkage setup but it is anothere option.

I've tried to search but cannot find. A few years ago someone posted a description of how they made their own PCV system. The thing I remember about it was the use of a bell type pipe reducer to bolt to the engine. Does anyone have a link to this?

I called Missouri Hiway Patrol about this one time and they said that the blue dots on taillights weren't legal unless the vehicle was regestered specially. I don't remember the classification. When I explained that my brake lights and tail lights were physically seperated and it was the brake lights that I was looking at for blue dots, he wasn't aware of any limitation. I haven't done it yet but I've got the lenses for "someday".

I went lo tech. Had the local welder add a second outlet to the exhust manifold and then ran the duals with twin glass packs that come out behind the bumper on the right side. I followed the original path of the stock exhaust to minimize the work.

I doubt if the dashpot has been removed. It is internal to the carb (not bolted on the outside like we are used to seeing) If you look around on the stromberg you will see second rod that looks like an accellerator pump but not adjustable like the accellerator pump. This one is the dashpot. And yes you will be fine with it. Once you change over to a different setup you will probably find some interested in the Stromberg.
