Hi My 3rd gear has gone on my 49 Plymouth I have recently put a new clutch in it. I still have 1st and reveres 2nd can be difficult to get sometimes. Any ideas why? Was thinking it could be a selector broken? Also I have another gear box I could put in it but it’s out of a 58 fury would it fit?

Hello dose anyone know where I can get dual carb linkage kit for a Plymouth 218? Thanks

It’s just preference really what ever your happier with. I would say steel with the tank seal that you can get from frost restoration. I have used in a few things and It seal it all up from the inside. But it’s down to what ever your happier with really. Both prob as good as each other just think the steel one would be better
-
The only problem with a plastic one is they crack but if you get a steel one you can put tank sealer in it and it will seal it up then you wouldn’t have a problem with rust.

Ok thank you for all your advice has been a big help

The Weber is for a 1960 series 2 Land Rover

Ok I’ll try that and see if it helps thanks

Ok i guess no one has modified a new carb on the old manifold before then
-
I have seen some carbs squirt fuel down the manifold when the throttle is pumped so was thinking that would help start it. So was asking if anyone has modified a different carb to go on the manifold and what make?
-
The car is a 49 Plymouth Special Deluxe with a flat head straight six with a 12v conversion done . My thoughts are that if i put a carb on it that pumps fuel when I pump the throttle pedal it will start better as the carb that’s on it now will only put fuel in the when it’s turning over.
-
Was thinking of putting a Weber on but wondered if anyone had done it?
-
Yeh the choke works fine once’s it as started but getting it started when cold with out pour fuel down the carb takes about 20mins
-
I have an electric fuel pump on it already but dosent make any difference was thinking a Weber as the spray fuel down the manifold when you pump the throttle pedal and the original on is on a vacuum pull through of that makes sense. So I’m abit stuck as I don’t want to put the that Weber on if it’s going to under fuel the car

Hi I’m new to this so bear with me. I have a 49 Plymouth with the flat head straight six in it. I’m having trouble starting from cold unless I pour some fuel down the carb. So Dose any one know if a Weber 34 inch carb be ok to go on it as I’m worried it would be under fueling the engine? Thanks mike
