  1. I will be selling a couple more R10's in the future---NOT NOW though!
  2. Like these..?. Just sold them. A 40 chrysler and a R10
  3. I thinks it's a 1949-50 DeSoto 236 engine trans combo without the aluminum oil filter housing. 1949 and up chryslers all have an aluminum oil filter housing. It has the early 1949-50 M6 trans with a reverse switch and lever. Also has the 1949- early 1950 external E-brake brake band and extension housing that goes with it. The 4 terminal starter solenoid is typical of 1949-50 Chrysler and Desoto. It could be a Dodge with that oil filter but not that type of starter. The trans also has a date and engine code stamped into it at the drivers side rear middle of case if you can see it in person. So does the engine as you know. Bob
  4. Same door # used for CC and 3 passenger cars.... at least for chrysler
  5. Yes.. the main body shell is the same. 1947- 48 eight cylinder rear fenders are made different for the bigger 8.20 tires. 1946 NewYokers used 7.60 tires. The Eight cylinder frame/chassis is much heavier with larger suspension and brake parts
  6. Some local area 6 & 8 cylinder Chrysler 3 passenger coupes. The NewYorker 8 Cylinder hoods are sooooo loonng! Oh so ugly.. butt they are so cool.... Bob
  7. When there is not enough weight on the bare chassis I use a tie down ratchet to pull the lower A-arm tight up against the spring enough to get the threaded pin into the knucke support and lower A-arm. Works well. Bob
  8. Spring compressor is difficult on these old MoPars IMO.
  9. I did some work on the blue one in sweden and knew that it sold from there. Thought maybe it was yours. Those cars are so rare-odd that two ended up across the ocean.
  10. Your S10 ( not a Chevy- DeSoto model designation) DeSoto 3 pass coupe isn't the blue one from Seattle is it?
  11. I always thought they were cool as my brother bought one new for his Chevy 409 back in 1967 .I found this NOS Spalding distributor at the Portland Oregon swap meet 20 years ago for $200.0 It uses a 4 lobe cam-dual points for longer saturation... No I don't think they made one of these distributors for a six banger engine. There are no new replacement parts for these distributors other than points and condensors. Some guys are retro-fitting them with modern electronic ignition parts. They sell for quite a bit of$$$ these days. On the HAMB there is some info on the Spalding or later Grant Flamethrower distributors. .
  12. Don, The twin coils are needed because of the vintage odd distributor. It's a "Spalding Flamethrower" distributor that uses an ignition coil to feed each side of the distributor ...one coil for the left bank and one for the right bank. Pics are not of my distributor. I found a NOS one.
  13. The Intake manifold and factory twin carter carbs is off a 1957 D900 Dodge 4 ton truck. I liked the look of it.
  14. The right model #53 and left model #54 rotate in different directions-different motors and sqirrel cages. Just in case you don't know this!
  15. Yes... only one 1952 Chrysler 3 pass Hemi cpe was made ! .... The other green 1950 Chrysler is a NewYorker straight eight cylinder 2 door hardtop. As for my 1946 Chrysler 3 pass cpe, Chrysler made 701 1946-48 Chrysler NewYorker straight eight 3 pass cpes-very rare to say the least. Bob
  16. Thanks for the compliment and yes please do use it as wall paper! Bob
  17. Yea...I try to be good and be green for the planet!
  18. Why not leave the filter off and gain a lot of HP? K&N filters usually have special oil added to the element which require washing out every so many miles= pollution ! OMG
  19. Ed, Here is a not so good pic of it when i got it out of the garage...
  20. Saw this....http://www.garagejournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=275102
  21. I own a 1946 Chrysler eight cylinder NewYorker business coupe and a 1952 Chrysler Imperial business coupe that I'm slowly finishing. I did have a1952 D41 Dodge 3 passenger coupe too. Tammy Baker told me to reincarnate it to something more exciting. So I did.
  22. Thats the proper 218 230 Plymouth damper. I like it!
  23. This on going Phoenix story is wanting me more than ever to meet the man who knows how to just enjoy what he's doing regardless of what others say. Though I do think he listens as to what others suggest! I think PP and "Wise Way Tu" are one of the same. Bob
  24. Removing the lower A-arm pivot pin and lowering the lower A-arm with a floor jack is the safest and quickest easy way to remove the springs with the full body and engine--- if you do it properly. On a 4 post lift it's a wee bit different to do. But very easy too if you know what you are doing. By dropping the only the lower A-arm there is no need to deal with disconnecting the brake hose or shock to do it properly.
