Normspeed Posted November 19, 2009 Report Share Posted November 19, 2009 Joe you could also email Neil Riddle, Seaplym on ebay. He may have the bolts you need. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Yergin Posted November 19, 2009 Report Share Posted November 19, 2009 I've tried McMaster-Carr and Restoration Specialties and neither has the type of flywheel bolts I need. These are round-headed bolts with one side that is flat. Does anyone know of a source for these? Joe, The Chrysler part number for those bolts is 871685. A search on www.partsvoice.com using that number shows that Collectors Auto Supply and Valley Vintage Auto Parts have them. Collectors' price is $20 and Valley Vintage's price is $4.00. The Valley Vintage web site is www.vvap.com Hope this helps. Jim Yergin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Flanagan Posted November 19, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 19, 2009 Thanks, guys. I never thought of Neil Riddle. Probably a good bet. Jim, that's fantastic. Another resource I didn't know about. I've heard Partsvoice mentioned here but never paid much attention. Until I needed a part, of course. And Tim, "a word from our sponsor?" You lost me there. It's still funny in some kind of way, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerry Roberts Posted November 19, 2009 Report Share Posted November 19, 2009 Joe , Just wondering , this time , can you tighten your flywheel bolts before you put your oil pan on ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norm's Coupe Posted November 19, 2009 Report Share Posted November 19, 2009 Rotary phones have been around much longer than cell phones. Vacuum tube radios have been around much longer than ipods. Conventinal ovens have been around much longer than microwaves. Buttons have been around much longer than zippers. Shovels have been around much longer than snow blowers. P-15 coupes have been around much longer than the new vehicle you just bought. Why do you drive your new vehicle and leave your P-15 parked in the driveway? I think you need to adjust your logic:rolleyes: Don, Can't drive the coupe. It has no cowl vent in it, and it's in the garage, not the driveway. In reality though, I don't drive my new car that much either. Have only put about 730 miles on it since August 21st. But it looks good in the driveway too. I also have a vacuum tube radio. In my opinion microwave ovens are useless too. Just a big coffee warmer. And, yes, I do have two snow shovels. And, you didn't mention it, but don't own a flat screen TV either. All of ours are from the 70's and 80's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dodgeb4ya Posted November 19, 2009 Report Share Posted November 19, 2009 I've tried McMaster-Carr and Restoration Specialties and neither has the type of flywheel bolts I need. These are round-headed bolts with one side that is flat. Does anyone know of a source for these? Also, Greg, I didn't see your post earlier but thanks for the tips on the torque wrench. I've never heard of a beam wrench. I've also been in situations where there is no room to fit a torque wrench. I guesstimated. This is the special MoPar bolt Joe is looking for. This one is no good.

Joe Flanagan Posted November 19, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 19, 2009 Joe , Just wondering , this time , can you tighten your flywheel bolts before you put your oil pan on ? Jerry, The engine is currently on a stand, which prevents me from installing the flywheel. I have to wait until I get the engine on a hoist and hanging from a chain, then I have access to the crank hub.and have plenty of room to put the flywheel on. But then I'd have to install the oil pan from underneath the engine while it's hanging on a chain, which I suppose I could do, but it would be much more difficult than doing it on the stand, which I can rotate so that the engine is upside down and the job is very easy. Also, I have the cork gaskets at either end of the block, which stick up a little at the ends and this is much easier to deal with the engine turned upsided down.

Young Ed Posted November 19, 2009 Report Share Posted November 19, 2009 Joe I've got a crank in the garage with all 4 bolts sticking out of it. Let me know if you need them. I've been meaning to knock them out anyways as the crank is standing up on the bolts! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Flanagan Posted November 19, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 19, 2009 Thanks Ed. I'm getting ready to call Valley Vintage Auto Parts here in a second to order new. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blueskies Posted November 19, 2009 Report Share Posted November 19, 2009 Got mine from Vintage Power Wagons... they may still have them if your other source doesn't pan out. Pete Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Flanagan Posted November 19, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 19, 2009 They're in the mail from Valley Vintage. My local NAPA has the oil pan gasket and the throwout bearing. Still looking for a place locally that will rebuild my clutch. If not, off to Tennessee it goes. But with shipping, etc. it might be about the same to buy new. We'll see.

Joe Flanagan Posted November 19, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 19, 2009 It's a flat rate regardless of the weight? At 13 bucks, that's not bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes , It doesn't matter what it weighs within the USA . Parcel Post might be cheaper but it can be very slow . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
