    I am surprised no one has answered this. The wire goes to the big post on the starter. Make sure the screw you use to connect to the coke is not too long you as you don’t want to short it to the manifold. The choke is activated when you engage the starter. After the car starts the choke is then controlled by the bi metal spring in the choke itself.

    I have heard tales of the dreaded Imron paint. The nastiest stuff I ever sprayed was POR 15 on the underside of my 52 Plymouth. Another open all the doors and wear a HD filter mask paint.

    I sprayed several cars back in the 80's and 90's. Taught myself mostly to do the prep work and learned to lay paint. However that was in the days of Acrylic Enamel ande I really have no idea how to do base coat clear coat. Got good enough to the point where I did a few for a used car lot in town and several friends cars as well. Enjoyed it then, too old now. to contort well enough to do a good job.

    I would hate to think of the name the UPS driver called you when delivering that box.

    Some years ago I had a tech question I could not find the answer to and I called Vintage Power Wagons and spoke to one of their people who took the time to help me solve it. If you don’t get answer here you might give them a call.

    Sadly although I do get a vote on this it most likely won’t mean much. I am not a fan of electric vehicles in general and modded old cars in particular. Just don’t see the reasoning behind it. I apparently foolishly thought the reason behind driving an old car was to experience/relive the past for enjoyment. We sure are not running low on gas and the relatively few gas powered old cars are not in my opinion destroying the environment.

    Sarcastic? Us? Say it isn’t so.

    Yes wayfarer. That is correct as you found out. Sorry I did not get back to you sooner. Life...be aware it will short out if not insulated and cause a good puff of smoke. How I know this is a government secret. Frank I assume you have a fluid drive set up? I am not familiar with that but other here are. Might be information in the Tech section as well.

    I admire you folks who bring the cars back from the dead.

    If like my Sission choke that was on my 52 Plymouth it attaches to the starter terminal on the starter and applies power when the starter is energized. The other end fastens to the terminal on the choke. Be sure the screw is just long enough to connect as too long will short out on the Manifold. A search should give you pictures.

    I have heard they are good. I bought the parts for mine several years ago from Then and Now.

    The confusion about the Volare/Aspen comes from the fact that the Compact torsion bar set up from them is used in a lot of custom cars as the suspension is strong and reliable.
  18. plymouthcranbrook
    No Flash no Cash is often a problem. Good reliable running cars often just sit cause few want to drive them to the car shows. Not Cool enough I suspect. Good luck.

    We drove a 2001 Chevy Astro from 2002 till June of this year. We put about 175,000 miles on it In that time. AWD, reliable, with the exception of the transmission which went out at 178,000 Miles I was able to fix any and all problems myself. If it hadn’t dissolved to the point of concern I would still be driving it. And if the still made them I would have bought another. So, yeah, some minivans are worth it. Funny thing is I paid the most fot it than any other car I ever bought including the 2016 SUV that took it’s place.

    Seriously it seem that most of the old folks like me I know or have know really have lost the urge to go anywhere and when they get there do anything. The only exception that comes to mind was the then retired owner and his wife of the place I spent 40 years at. She dragged him around the world. India, England, France, all over, them and their scooters. Of course they had a ton of money.

    Could have been on a farm back south of absolutely Nowhere. Old Farmers often were consistently able to make anything out of nothing.

    Do I remember Travel? No I don't

    You're welcome. Sorry I couldn't help more.

    Carfax needs the 17 digit numbers put into use in 1980. Do you know anything at all about it’s past? Last state registered for example? I believe there are threads here discussing this as well. You might go onto the AACA site as well as it has been discussed there.

    Remember though, they are getting better and faster. And no matter what you do, you will get old and slow. A good relationship goes a long way to eliminate problems with family ?
