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.

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.

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.
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.

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.
