PT-81

I have had good luck with buying items from Roberts Motor Parts.

I just went to NAPA today and got 6 Autolite 295. Funny but someone just bought 4 of these an hour or so before me according to the counter guy and he said they sell very few.

I would welcome any other ideas regarding the Mopar Flathead 6 hot running problems and starting issues. Great site. Thank you.

A little bit pricey, but a nice original looking wiring harness comes from Rhode Island Wiring.

New_castle: Thanks for the response. I am thinking of contacting advanced distributors to get a ball park quote on a rebuild. My distributor seems to have a bit of play in the shaft when I hold the rotor and rock it back and forth. The advance seems to work when I increase rpm with a timing light on it. However distrutor is quite old...I know 6v can be tricky unless all is up to snuff. I have even purchased a new harness for the truck (yet to install) as the original has seen better days at 80 years old...GC.

I have a 39 Plymouth truck with a 1954 218CU Plymouth flathead in it. Everything is pretty much stock. I have been fighting this exact same problem as New_castle for years with littte success. I Have new carb,fuel pump points, plugs condenser wires tuned up, etc. Have tinstalled all stock heat shields, spacer under carb, blocked off the heat riser and insulated the fuel line to fuel pump, added a few other shields around the bowl carb. I will look into some of the other recommendations here. I hope I find the magic solution here as I am at my wits end with this and I love my truck.
