In order to mate the outlet to the stock radiator I wanted a molded hose. Now Dayco makes adapters that slip into the hose to neck down the inner diameter, that could work but with the height difference between the outlets the hose I have would have been too short so I would need a new hose anyway. So then the choice is a molded hose or one of those ribbed universal types. Both would need a 1 3/4" and 1 1/2" end. I don't like the ribbed hoses, esthetic reasons. SO a molded hose was sought. Here we see the old hose compared to the one I found.

Mark: i just did a search on ebay under the part number 1235538 and there isa seller that is stating these fit 46-48 and other sellers state that they fit 40-48. Do some searches on ebay. Rich Hartung

We've all been there! Both sides of the accusation too. At the risk of wandering too far into religion I'd suggest we all try to remember 'do unto others, etc'. We'd all be better for it.

In one of the above replies, you chose which, I read simply put.......I am tired of shelfish people......to this end I will say that I think this does come honestly with age as we in our upper years (old fogies) were never raised with the attitude of today's generation....we were raised to be courteous and respectful to others and a man's word was his bond. I love it when some clown blows around me on the interstate weaving in and out of traffic and I get the chance to wave a friendly greeting and honk of the horn as I pass by as the officer is writing their ticket. While not a pet peeve per se, this falls under poetic justice...my way to vent at his placing everyone at risk.

One Sunday, the Reading was how we are all part of the Mystical Body, how we all have different roles but part of the one body. After Mass, I commented to the priest, "Sometimes when I'm driving, someone will suggest what part of the body I was."

I guess I have mellowed with age. I no longer feel a "need" to challenge other drivers. Whether it be the guy who crowds the merge at on ramps, the guy who can't seem to pick a lane, use signals or the tailgater. I used to challenge them all, every time accompanied by choice words and sometimes gestures. Not anymore, too much rage out there. What used to be a form of recreation for some of us has now become a deadly game of road rage. I miss the old days, when at most punches were thrown to settle all but really major disputes, and it was somewhat acceptable to hurt, or get hurt, feelings. Ah yes, the good old days............

Hardknoxs...welcome aboard.............I havce owned my 1940 Dodge sedan since 1971, I installed a 318 Poly in 1973 & auto...the car has the original lower A arms, 41-54 Cast steel MOOG upper A arms, 41 stub axles, 1" heim jointed adjustable sway bar, mid 50's Ford Coil springs, relocated upper shock mounts and 11" vented PBR Oz disc brakes with a 9" narrowed Austin 1800 Rack & Pinion, rear end is stock semi elyptic springs, heavy duty shocks, 1991 Oz Ford Falcon disc brake rear axle, stock body with 2 widened rear fenders, custom made Alloy steering column using Valiant upper, bucket seats etc etc..........have attached some pics or the 40 Dodge & 41 Plymouth I had for a while....it was to get a 230 & 5 speed , finned head, etc............so........... ............my suggestion would be to upgrade the stock front end with better shocks and/or relocate the upper mounts, swap in a thicker sway bar, use a centre steer rack to reduce bump steer.....check out various engine mount kits that use early Ford biscuits & chassis mounts or modify the original Hemi mounts to suit.........but don't go swapping the chassis, these cars use a better engineered frame then early Frods or GM stuff and just need some basic upgrades.........if you want more info ask away........regards from Oz.......Andy Douglas

I ordered some carb linkage clips from NAPA like LeRoy and the smallest size did fit. There is a left and right clip. You can't turn the left clip around to make a right clip. So it fit my no. 8 rod that comes out of the Sisson Auto choke.
