Mopar saw the value in electric wipers much earlier than other brands. Working wipers with a vac pump are as good as electric though also you can charge your phone without an inverter. The cigarette lighter USB adapters are just extremely cheap voltage regulators that take up to 15-16v and kick it down to 5v. The only thing you need to make is a harness with an accessory plug and another socket to flip the polarity

I had vac wipers on the ‘50 Plymouth that I had. I drove it in a downpour at night once and thought I was going to die. Somehow maintained the road until I found a pulloff

In my lawn mowers I use Sta Bil. Never had a problem. I use my left over boat gas in the snowblower in the winter. E15 fuel realistically is a non issue in 90% of cases. Especially if you use it all up quickly. Ethanol fuel gets old faster. My experience is that Sta Bil or other fuel stabilizer does work. I choose non ethanol premium for my ‘51 because I don’t know if the rubber fuel system components are compliant. But when I daily drove a ‘74 MGB with the twin SU carburetors ethanol fuel is all it got and I never had a problem

I think bendix were the first true self energizing drum brakes. Where the shoes float they pull tighter and that is self energizing. that said. I’ve driven a ‘50 Plymouth club coupe with stock drums. Same car with discs and now a ‘51 with stock drums. Also used to have a stock ‘51 Chevy. All those cars stopped about the same

TR415 is what TSC keeps on the shelf which is a .625 round rubber snap in. Being round it may or may not work. If it does great

Yes the 501OV is a metal clamp in stem. It’s a slightly larger oval than the original wheels. Carefully trim one side. fwiw the reason it’s not recommended to put tubeless tires on rims designed for tubes is because on tubeless rims there is a ridge that locks the bead in place which is usually absent on tube type rims as the tube holds the bead in place. It’s usually a non issue anyway but Mopars actually have the ridge… also a GR KR 15/16 universal tube will fit most sizes these cars use

Standard passenger vehicles have a .453 hole and most tractors and commercial vehicles have a .625 hole. TR413 is the common .453 stem and TR415 is the common .625 hole tractor stem as far as no oval hole valve stems that is incorrect. There is no oval hole stems in current production that fit the Mopar wheels correctly without modification. TR501OV is a larger oval clamp in that the grommet can be carefully trimmed and it’ll work. the oval holes are slightly larger than .625 and a snap in stem may work or it may leak.

My ‘51 is the only thing I own that I’ll worry about keeping ethanol free in, and that’s because I’m not sure if the carburetor was ever rebuilt compliant or not but it works perfectly so I don’t chance it.

You need resistor wires for a pertronix as well. It can/will burn up the module with solid core wires. The benefit of that system is radio reception

I’ve used pertronix. They work great when they work. Old pertronix were very reliable but nowadays they are not as high quality. The company has been sold and cheapened. Thats why I suggested the HEI module. The points won’t ever wear out and you’ll get start retard.

On the 8’s I’m not sure but the 6’s there were multiple distributors used. I would not recommend pertronix due to modern kits being questionable. Back in the day they were rock solid. what you can do, because you are switching to 12v is use a GM HEI module with the points and they will last forever. That also gives you start dwell retard for easier starts

Smaller makes more Revolutions per mile. So if it’s imbalanced you’ll feel it quicker

It’s a plate that has pins through the lug holes that goes on the balancer. Any time a wheel is what is considered lug centric ( Toyota is most common ) should be pin plate balanced though most cases you can get away with it… BMC wheels it’s a crap shoot since it’s because they are all bent
