I have a 40 business coupe . I measured a 48 business coupe rear deck lid and it appears to be the same . Does anyone know for sure that the 40,41,42,46,47,48 Mopar rear deck lids are the same on the coupes ? (I know all the handles/license bracket, light are different.) Thank you in advance for your help .

Does anyone have a factory parts list that calls out the clip that holds the deck lid lock cylinder to the chrome bezel ? Or have any idea where to buy a replacement ?

gas boiling in the carbs , not good . My only thought is to raise the carbs off the manifold by 3/4 of an inch . Electric fuel pump with no return , but the rubber/steel fuel lines are not hot to the touch . Any recommendations ?

Thanks Merle , There is a 7psi kill switch inline with the oil pressure and like most every circuit on the former owners scheme it did not work right . I wired it correctly and coil comes alive while cranking when it reached 7 psi . I feel like an idiot . Thanks for the reply

Key activated . The previous owner made a completely new wiring harness and he did use 1 side of the dimmer switch to activate the solenoid . I eliminated that circuit and went straight to the key .

I just got my fresh 51 218 running and its the smoothest running engine I've ever played with . My problem is the starter seems to hold the engine back from starting until the solenoid is opened . So I crank it a bit and turn the key back to run to start position and it takes right off . Is this a condition of having a 6 volt starter on a 12 Volt system , a positive ground condition inside the starter or just a weak spring in the starter keeping it engaged not letting the motor take off ?

I replaced the output shaft seal on the steering box and after 8 days the slow leak started again . Wondering if there is an alternative out there to replace the original steering box ? Or a good rebuild service to ship it to ?

Does anyone know a good source for the correct window channel and window sweeper for a 40 Plymouth coupe .

Can anyone tell me if I need to find a 1.25 diameter 1/8 or 3/16 freeze plug to seal this hole ? Is there a source to purchase ? Or is there a heater hose delete adaptor needed .
