Well don't shoot me but I'm a hot rodder at heart and have wired my fair share of cars in the past 40 years. Never had to do the math do wire a car yet The only thing I'm looking at adding a rhunts to is the gas gauge. The reason I chose to convert to 12 volt is for modern electrical items such as electronic ignition, and radio.
I wasnt aware how the choke actually operated or how to set the choke. Havent purchased a owners manual or servic emanual yet. Not much on the math part on electricity. Was hoping i could just use a voltage drop inline to the sission choke.
Im planning to rewire the Wayfarer and convert it to 12 volts. What have you all used to drop the voltage to the electric Sisson choke. I know I need to use a rhunt on the fuel gauge.
My sunvisors on my 49 Dodge Wayfarer convertible are missing. Any Plymouth convertible or Dodge convertible visors that will work as a replacement. The brackets would have two holes.
Thanks for any help, Dave
I need a new firewall pad for the 49 Wayfarer. Is the Plymouth firewall the same.
Here's a link to the pad in question, thanks for the help Dave

Hope this is posted in the correct place.
Being new to vintage Mopar and also the forum, who is the recommended parts suppliers I could use for my 49 Wayfarer
Dave
Car isn't a high dollar restoration, pant job is average so is interior. I call it a nice driver, main thing is there's no rust. From what I had found on others was rust is very common in the rocker boxes and floors.
Dave
Thanks Tod, this old car has really sparked my interest. I've always been more interested in older cars with updated drive trains but the more I'm looking at the Runabout I'm leaning on keeping it on the original side.
I have also found a body tag on the firewall stamped on it is 5070R. Does this tell me anything.
Thanks Dave
The Kentucky title I received with the car reflects the engine number. I'm going thru the required paperwork know with the Indiana BMV to use the serial number located in the door jamb. Thinking if the the engine is ever replaced there will still be numbers that match the title. The car does have the Fluid Drive and the emergency brake does need some adjustment. I'll have to do a search of the forum to find out how to perform the adjustment.
Dave
Thanks for the information. I was hoping the numbers would reveal more information. I just brought the 49 Sportabout home Sunday so I'll probably have more questions as I dig into the car.
Dave
Im a new member to the forum and also a new owner of a 1949 Dodge Wayfarer Sportabout. Im not new to old cars, I've been playing with them for 40 years. With that being said can someone help me decipher the serial number and engine number.
Serial # 37038755
Engine# D30193223
Thanks for any information you can share with me.
Thanks again Dave
