The smoke that I'm noticing most prominent is coming from a pipe that shoots straight down from the engine along side or behind the exhaust pipe on the passenger side near the firewall and only points straight down. that is the "draft tube" in the days before PCV valves crank case vapors were released in to the atmosphere. driving the vehicle would create a vacuum across the opening of the tube pulling vapors out. in higher mileage engines you might see oil dripping from the tube as the oil vapors would condense.

Yes The steering shaft is part of the entire assembly. pretty much have to get the car about 3-4 feet in the air.

I just used a standard round o-ring. 2"id x 1/8 fit perfect in the grove in the tank. purchased from a local industrial distributor for a couple of bucks

old car timing chain stretch??? under load no play, as soon as you let off the gas the chain relaxes and your timing is off. can be checked with a timing light, if the timing jumps around you have a timing chain issue. Just a thought

difference between a good paint job and a bad paint job? The good painter knows how to fix/hide his mistakes. got a run, run it to the bottom of the panel and let the run lay on the floor.

'50 Dodge Coronet Vent Window Removal -- Help!
LazyK replied to Stargrinder's topic in P15-D24 Forum
on my 51 the window and the wing window share the same chanel/support. so to remove the wing window, you have to remove the widow from the regulator -
I used o rings for both. No leaks at this time

I plan to use the same source as the Radio. It will be powered only when the key is on. factory wiring shows the radio powered from the hot side of the gas gauge

I know they are part of the front end sheet metal. They are mirror images of each other, left and right side. From the under coating they should be up inside the wheel well. But for the life of me I don't remember where they go. Can't seem to get the bolt hole to match to anything

I agree 100%. Mine looked like yours and the chromer made them look like new. How ever be warned, not many places still doing it and it is not cheep. I have more dollars in the chrome than any other single part of the restoration. I would like to do more but i had to draw the line somewhere.

I used the rusty hope kit with the ECI master. ECI just needed to know what calipers were used with the rusty hope kit so he could supply the correct mater cylinder. I used the Rusty Hope kit because they were the only ones who would say their kit would fit a stock 15" wheel any competent machine shop can drill and tap your spindles. -
The opening on the drivers side of the head is for the water temperature gauge

that is wrong on so many levels

first experience, though I do not remember it, would have been the ride home from the hospital in 1955 in a 1951Plymouth Cranbrook . Drove the family 1960 Dodge Pioneer station wagon during high school. My first car, I purchased, was a 1972 Dodge Challenger, which I still own. Dodge Lancer and Plymouth voyager mini van while the kids were growing up. Today the daily drivers are a Jeep Liberty and a Dodge Ram 2500. Other than a couple of Toyotas mixed in I have always owned MOPARS . And that 1951Plymouth should be back on the road in the spring
