Damn Reg..... I've never seen a 1 BBL tunnel ram before....lol.

Well Frank, after all it is a one of a kind 230 SpitSfire 6. ?

I sent you a PM you.

Here's one I have on my 42 Dodge Business Coupe.  I didn't find a proper 2 bbl carb soon enough so I got a 1 to 2 bbl adapter and installed it upside down so I could drive the car

until I found a good 2 bbl carb.  Well......that was years ago and it's still like this.  Runs great !!!

If your radio is the vertical dial 602 or 802 .  Look at this radio on ebay.  It has the mounting bracket.

Yup, Hopefully it's only a blown head gasket and not a cracked block or worse...….a vandal.

The pet cock drain is on the distributer side of the block near the oil fill tube and distributer. 

That's a 1939 Plymouth not a 1938. Here's a 38.

I think it's a 54 Car ornament or the 49 Car. In any event I like it a lot !

Here's a set of B-4's

I need that wagon !!!!

My first car when I was in high school in 1966 was a 1933 Plymouth sedan with dual side mounts. I paid $225 for it back then.  I had to sell it a couple of years later as I became a dad and had no place to park in at my apartment complex. I always kicked myself for selling it and kept an eye out for another just like it for many years.  Fast forward 46 years to 2014 I finally found one on Craigslist in Tacoma,Wa.  !!!   This one was owned by the seller since 1958 when he bought it from the original owner.  It's in amazingly original condition and still runs like a top.

Yes just slide the hood ornament fore and aft until you find the best fit with the curvature of the hood.  By the way the hood ornament you showed is for a 53 Dodge car.  The truck ornament is much longer.

Pressing down on the inside handle opens the door. Lifting up on the handle locks the door. Then lock the passenger side door with key as Reg said. 

That would depend on which way the door handle was installed I suppose. Open end to front or back.

Somehow my wife and I locked ourselves out of my 47 in town.  I had spare wing windows so I broke one to get back in.

Properly maintained, you physically CAN'T lock your keys in with the stock set up.  Which is odd, as I was told many a time by my brother and father that as a kid I locked the keys in (being a good boy locking the truck) that they had to smash a window to get back in one time.  Makes one go hmmmm…

If your truck is stock there should be a key hole on the outside of passenger door just under the door handle.  The drivers side is locked by pressing down on the inside door handle and the passenger side is locked with a key from outside.

Why not get used glass?

Doubt you will find any new.

PM me, I have two sets I don't need.

Hey cool….another 33 Plymouth owner.  Welcome to the forum with your nice cars. My first car in 1965 was a 33 Plym PD.  I had to sell it a few years later due to a lack of storage and I final found another on just like it a few years ago.  It is a very original car with lots of little scratches and dings and I'll be leaving it that way.

So much info getting thrown at you here sorry...

 

Resist the temptation to clean up the block deck with a wire wheel. Or a wire brush. The tiny wires come off. They are prone to drop down horizontally between the piston and the cylinder wall. They can get wedged in place, maybe adjacent to a piston ring. Then the destruction begins the very next time you move that piston. Then expect a dead cylinder with no compression in short time. 

 

Seek out a brass wire wheel or brush. They have soft bristles.  Put shop cloths in each cylinder when cleaning up and de-carboning the area. Get a shop vac and suck up everything really well out of every cylinder. 

 

While the head is off be very diligent about keeping the area clean deck and covered up if possible. 

 

Good luck. Report back. Thx. 

Good advice.  I think that's what I did to my 230.  I used a wire brush on the valves and top of block and then not much more than a few weeks later my #1 piston looked like this and went from 110lbs compression to 50lbs.

Oh Man....those poor lizards !  At least they didn't die alone.
