  1. I would like to know the main jet size for a '48 Dodge. My car, a 1948 Plymouth is a bit of a Frankenstein in that it has a 1942 dodge war surplus motor with it's original Plymouth carb. I can tell it's lean by the way it runs and a plug check. the main jet is a 256. I also have the original military carb that has a 314 main jet which I tried. It helps but may be a bit rich. Does anyone have any info on jet sizes. Jim Magennis
  2. In 1963 my 1950 Plymouth six expired so I put a 1955 Plymouth V8 in and moved the steering box into the frame for clearance which maintained center. Maybe a bad idea but it worked for years. Jim M
  3. You have your work cut out for you but it's better than some rust buckets people attack. As for knees I can relate some horror stories. I suffered for years with knee and leg pain. I got sick a few years ago lost ten pounds and my knee pain went away. Time can be a good healer.
  4. I used this grease to stop my steering leak. John Deere Special-Purpose Corn Head Gun Grease - AN102562 Jim M
  5. That white with stock chrome is fabulous.
  6. i believe the short wheelbase P22 included the Suburban,Fast back and 3 window business coupe. The P23 was the 2 and 4 door sedans.
  7. I have a 1951 MOPAR parts book (USA) and it lists the rear glass P22- 2DR sedan as 1367 367 and 3W coupe as 1337 038. Can't say for certain it is a crossover to the Canadian Dodge. Jim M
  8. Great pictures. Thanks for posting. Jim M
  9. After playing silly games with my vaccuum wipers and pricing a repair I made the smart decision to buy a Newport Engineering unit, which works great. As I think back on my restoration this may be the only time it didn't take three times as much money, tries and time to fix an item. Jim M
  10. A Desoto pickup? Who would have thunk? Jim M
  11. The picture looks like an automatic? If so I can understand the concern about no center support. Jim M
  12. Fede, You may want to find a copy of Hemmings Classic Car July 2010 it has an article about your Desoto. Jim M
  13. Knuckleharley, What a blast from the past. I forgot about this method. It's a method I used on motorcycles. Jim M
  14. Tim, A dodge OMNI ?! Wow, what a deal. Jim M
  15. Verrry interesting. Who would have thunk. Thanks for posting. Jim M
  16. This reminds me of an old saying. "You know that tingly feeling you get when you really like an old car? That's common sense leaving your body." Jim M
  17. You may want to check out DuckDuckGo.com as a search engine. They don't track.
  18. The hydrographic method works well. The original pattern may not be available. Jim M
  19. I had a shock lock in the fully extended position when jacked up but both shocks would be even more unusual.
  20. This makes me wonder what blend of gas you have up there? Modern gas can be corrosive in carbureted engines. FWIW I use boat gas which has no ethanol.
  21. This may help. I used a NAPA fil 6184
  22. So far so good. I removed the residual valve from the master cylinder and used a 2lb for the front and 10lb for the rear sourced from Speedway motors.
