Oh my no, it can stay put till the museum is gone. After that you can move it and get your happy spot all better. Lol

Seems to me that of all the forums available here that Off Topic is the best location for this information. Covers all bases. I suggest a moderator combine these 2 threads in the off topic forum.

Oh my no. I want it to stay here. That's why I placed it here. So I highly recommend a mod to keep it here for all to see.

Oh, you guys listed it under off topic. I thought it was extremely odd no one was mentioning it. It should never be in off topic. Off topic would be a Ford museum. Lol Any who, I thought I'd pass it on as it wasn't mentioned on the forum. A Chrysler Museum for Chrysler vehicle's is definitely worthy of making the main forum. Hopefully this will make it to more eyes. I myself never been on the off topic forums because, it's off topic lol

Last weekend the Walter P Chrysler Museum will be opened. It's permanently closing. We'll be making the trip that weekend. December 17th and 18th.

I will be there all week. Sunday through Sunday. 

Earl

74.00 is cheaper than your air filter assembly falling off or leaking dirty air in between the carb and filters and dusting the engine. Just my. Two cents lol

Earl

Well I learned something new, the plug does have a tiny hole in it, never noticed it before.

Is that vent clean and open? Very important that the vent functions on that type of master.

Earl

I will be at Hershey Sunday through Sunday.

I would add a high quality electric fuel pump and regulator and get rid of the mechanical pump.

I assume your heat riser is working correctly or at least held in the correct position? My heat riser was working backwards cause the spring was made incorrectly and the car didn't like that at all at idle for long periods. Got a correctly made spring and that took care of my idle issue with the carb.

Earl

I have a Champion in my 52 Dodge. Three row and it fit perfectly and works much better than the original. Got mine on Amazon. I also added a coolant recovery tank with a coolant recovery tank compatible radiator cap.

Earl

Adjust all linkage as per manual. Replace the missing or bad rubber bushing.

Earl

On my 52 Dodge I left the brake pedal on and removed the pedal pad and removed the master with the pedal still attached. My 52 has the clutch pedal on the frame.

Earl

Echlin was my choice for electrical.

Bought Echlin tune up parts for my 52. Appear to be China. Rotor was sloppy on the shaft, got another one and tighter but still sloppy. Wasn't impressed. Coil started leaking oil and had to be warranted like the rotor. Condenser had a strap instead of wire and was difficult to get it in place without shorting it. It appeared universal.

Earl

I loved standard brand. Use to sell that brand back in the day when I worked at Big A auto parts as a kid.

Earl

The wires are graphite impregnated suppression core wires with a thin winding around them. They are a still considered suppression wires though. I bought them specifically for this conversion. I previously had solid core before the conversion.

The timing was set at 8 degrees BTDC. I kept that with both the points and the Pertronix. The key give away for me was the fact that it was running beautifully in the morning. After sitting for an hour or so, started it and it was missing and stuttering.

I didn't contact Pertronix. I am going back to work tomorrow and needed the car running. I spent too much time chasing this problem down. Frankly, by this point, I have little faith in it, and even if I warrantied it out, I would always have that doubt. I know it has worked well for a lot of people, I just haven't had the best of luck with them. I guess I'll just stick with the points, BUT use high quality parts!

Points and condensers fail as well. Good luck finding anything not made in China.

Earl

You can not use solid core wires with Pertronix.

Have you contacted Pertronix?

I assume you're setting the timing? The timing used on points won't be the same as with the Pertronix.

Earl

Electronics do not, I repeat do not like low voltage and bad grounds. I wouldn't be surprised if a lot of the failures is do bad wiring, bad/dirty connections, too low or too high voltage, bad coils, or using solid core wires.

I plan to install a kit and their coil. Just haven't got around to it yet. I also plan to install a 6v alternator to keep the voltage constant.

Earl

I've seen new reproduction heat shields on eBay if you prefer store bought.

Earl

Single circuit systems have no backup like dual circuit. You definitely want to replace everything, I mean everything. I also highly recommend a dual circuit master cylinder. Nicopp lines are great and not expensive. Also make sure your parking brake is working correctly as that is your last chance of control if the single circuit system ruptures somewhere.

Earl

The M6 transmission is underdriven. 4th gear is 1 to 1 same as 3rd gear on a 3spd.

Earl

Aren't some of the bands adjusted during fluid change? Maybe just a matter of band adjustment?

Earl

An interesting fix, not exactly simple. Not sure I understand where this filter is. Pictures by chance?

Much more simple than needing a complete rebuild or trying find a good used trans or converting it to a manual trans.

Earl

I removed the drive shaft from the transmission and separated the case around 2", rotated it and found the filter which was plugged almost solid. I cleaned the screen, flushed the bottom of the case as best I could and struggled to put the case back together but finnaly managed. Filled with fluid, took a drive and it performed perfect. Thanks for all your help!

When I had mine apart to clean and reseal, my screen was mostly plugged. Many years of nondetergent fluid had took its toll.

Glad it was a simple fix.

Earl

Pull, clean and polish the pressure relief valve. Make sure the solenoid isn't sticking keeping the ball from fully seating. May have to pull the trans apart and clean the pump suction screen. Pump could be weak.

Earl

Kinda but still not a flywheel. Flywheel keeps momentum for the engine, fluid coupling takes that place. The plate is just that, a plate. Is no flywheel. Not sure what he wants to inspect, but I can assure you, there is no flywheel.

Earl

No flywheel to inspect on a fluid coupling. It bolts directly to crank. No flywheel nor flex plate. Starter ring gear is on the fluid coupling.
