Just ordered a new master cylinder. Gonna top it up and hope to make it to the garage!

Hello all found a large puddle of brake fluid on the ground today. Brake pedal went to the floor mostly. Leaking seal? This fix it? https://www.napacanada.com/en/p/NUP143
-
So... if I wanted to top up the engine oil, I would remove the filter and pour into the tube?
-
My parts list book doesn't list it. 'Does anyone have the service manual with a picture or diagram?
-

Nothing came out. Wasn't plugged with crud. Had engine oil on it so I suspect this is not the coolant plug.
-
Clearly, I have not done the whole job. Back at it tomorrow. drain the block (pick the crud) remove the lower rad hose and flush multiple times. Its all all a great learning experience.

This the tap? Between oil breather and distributor

Fffffffffuuuuuuuu.... ok. Now I know

Flushed the rad till it ran clear. Refilled with 50/50 strangely, it only took half the amount of fluid that's listed in the manual is there another drain on the engine for the fluid that's inside the block?

Am I hallucinating or has the 47' Plymouth shop manual disappeared from the downloads section?
-
Anyone know if a replacement thermostat is 160 or 180deg ?

Just opened the rad cap. It is caked with brown sludge... pulling the rad now
-
I'll try pulling and flushing the rad next weekend.

My P15 is running a little hot so I've been thinking about doing a rad flush with this. http://www.canadiantire.ca/en/pdp/prestone-radiator-flush-plus-cleaner-0380811p.html#srp Is it safe to use this crap in my 70 year old rad? thanks!

I have found MMO at Ace hardware stores in southern Ontario! $65 for a dozen and an ad from a 1948 Motors magazine.

Spent a few hours with her today. ''Installed the battery the correct way,,, 'traced the interior lights to a bad B pillar switch. Traced the no brake lights to the brake light switch, mounted to the frame rail on the drivers side, and simply pushed the wire back into the socket... drove for a few hours. Amp meter goes into the positive now, not neg. i just barely push the starter button now and she starts up. Next project, fuel line heat shield. Is installing a new rigid fuel line from the fuel filter with it bent away from the manifold a good idea? thanks for everyone's help!

Just re-read the comments... clearly it is in backwards. 'I'll flip it and see what happens.
-
Not yet. Busy work week. I noticed that the positive from the battery is going to the starte solinoid and negative to under the engine block. 'I think I need to switch the battery around has having the battery in backwards been hurting the system?
-
Wow. That's great info again.. one last question. 'When I hook up my 6v battery tender, should the red clip go on the post with the wire that goes to the starter? and when I'm driving, should the needle on the Amps gage be in the negative?
-
And can you tell me what a negative ground is about? one side of my 6v goes to starter, one to a mystery location under the engine yeah. I'm new...
-
Yes it is a P15 thabks for the info. I'll get some wire, an inline fuse and track it down!

Hello all i do not seem to have any interior lights. No dash lights (switched the toggle back and fro) no back seat headliner light. Tried to remove the bezel but couldn't get it off. Don't want to break it. Opened and closed the door. Flicked the little switch in the back seat on drivers side Tried with head lights on and off. They work. Break and signal lights work. Is is there a special procedure for removing the dash bulbs behind the console? Arg...
