I had the line to the oil pressure gauge made up at napa

Thank you joecoozie, now I know where to start

I'm working with original parts

I'm rebuilding the brake system on the plaza wagon. Have put everything new at all four corners, all new brake lines (hard and soft) and now on to the master cylinder. when I started the master cylinder had been removed along with everything attached to it, I now have all the parts and am ready to install. My question is where is a good starting point for the push rod adjustment? should I start with it all the way in or about half way then adjust?

Good job, really coming together well. Course I am a little partial, here's a picture of mine

Welcome from California, lots of good info and good people here. How bout some pics of your new toy?

Pete, many years ago I changed the tranny on my 38 pickup, I found a newer tranny with synchros that was a for a three on the tree shifter, the case looked the same. I took the lid off and apart and found that the shifter forks (on the newer trans) would interchange with the original floor shifter forks, the shifter forks were different in both trans. I took both lids apart and put the forks from the newer tranny on the old floor shifter lid and it worked. The forks are riveted in place to the lid, remove the rivets switch the forks and reassemble, it was a long time ago and I can't tell you what year the newer trans was, more options

The rebuild kit from napa # 2-5066A. On YouTube Mikes carburetor has a step by step rebuild video, hope this helps

On my P-20 the choke stuff is on the head side and yes rebuild kits are available. I got mine at NAPA, later I can post the part #

Nice car

Here is a pic

Working on a 1954 Plaza wagon, it has been siting for about 20 years so some valves were stuck and had other issues so got the motor running nice and smooth. I had to pull the head and manifolds off to get the valves dialed in. Carb rebuild distributor rebuild new fuel pump new water pump. The fuel tank was pretty crusty so I had it boiled out, had already ordered a new sending unit (MoparPro), the new unit has a one wire connection and the original has a two wire connection. I went to the service manual and wiring diagram and it shows a one wire set up. So I called MoparPro at 4:30 on Friday not only did he answer the phone but was very help full with a lot of information. It is a rare sending unit used in wagons, I think the old one will work just clean the crud off a use a new float and it did ohmn out good.

Nice car with really cool history Welcome

Your car, your time, your money

Welcome from California, lots of good people and good information here

First of all Welcome, hey I have a set of wheels. <mod> post edited, offers of parts on the main forum is prohibited. Please contact direct via PM.

You might try Turners in Fresno, 1 559 237 0918, they have several cars there and they'll ship where ever needed.

Great information, and as usual it comes after I took all the valves out of the 54 Plaza I'm currently working on, it had been sitting for about 10 years and had 5 stuck valves. Again great info I'll keep it in my back pocket for future projects

Are these the wheels your asking about? center to center on the farthest hole is 6", I was told they are a 6x6 lug pattern, these came off a 1937 3/4 ton pickup and are for sale

Nice find, looks like it'll be a nice driver

He has a lot of mopar parts at his shop. I got the taillight lenses,backup light lenses and front marker lenses, all were NOS

Found a guy in So Cal. specializes in replacement lenses, but has parts from 1928-1968. I got the opportunity to visit the shop. I got parts for the P-25 plaza wagon I'm working on, parts for My P-20 and also a horn button for my 38 dodge pickup. Prices were really reasonable, since I'm low budget.
