    The other day my wife asked me what a Tesla looked like. I showed her one and said. Our Miss Daisy is 85 years old this year. In 85 years from today that Tesla with be a baked bean can.

    When we first bought our 37 Plymouth the seller told us we would have a perpetual smile on our faces. We have owned our car now for 4 years and she still brings a smile to our faces. I heard someone say, 'You know the love affair is over when you don't look out the window of your home just to look your car...... Yep she's still there!

    I don't know much about this guy but it might be worth a listen as an option for your radio.

    17 years old and your first car is a 48 Dodge. Oh to go back in time. I would ditch the girlfriend and spend all my time and money on an old car. Great choice we look forward to seeing more photos.

    AB shipping to England is a flat rate of $65. I doesn't matter if your order is $5 or more you still pay that flat rate. I wonder what it is like in Canada?

    Given the choice of the Plymouth or this Juke, I'll take the Plymouth every time. I prefer to drive my 37 Plymouth than any other car I have ever driven.

    In my 37 Plymouth, it has been changed to 12vdc negative ground. I have had no problems with the starter.

    That can be the beauty or the dull drums of this hobby. Everyone has a belly button and everyone has an opinion. The fact is it is your opinion that counts. Personally, I would look at the resale of the vehicle. In this case though, I think it would be a 50/50 split. Go with what You like and do a good job. Well, that's my 2 cents worth.

    LOL, you'll get use to that to the point that as you're working you start to feel something sticky on your hand only to find out it's blood. You can then be like OJ Simson and say I don't know how I cut myself. I do it all the time'.

    Welcome from the Yank in Limmy Land. At 69 years of age, I always wanted to be the owner of an old car when young. Things just didn't work out for me. I am glad it has for you.

    I had this problem. The more I drove the car the higher the pedal was almost like having Power Brakes. If I left it a day it would be normal until I started using it again. I readjusted the master cylinder free play and the problem went away.

    I have never opened up one of these but have on machinery. They are all basically the same. You have an electromagnet that when energized pulls in a set of contacts. after the coil has collapsed (de-energized) there is a spring that opens the contacts. I suspect the contacts are welded shut or there is gunk preventing them to open. A broken spring is also a possibility. They are simple devices and worth a try to repair yours.

    You should have one. At least last march you said you have one.

    You first need to see if your starter button is working properly using a meter I mentioned earlier. With key 'on' you should have 6vdc to the button but not on the other side until you press the button. If you have voltage on both sides you have a bad button Lets start there
  18. SteveR
    Check continuity on the starter switch. should not have a reading. Then depress it it should change. Do you have 6vdc from the start switch when at rest? Should be 0vdc Possible stuck contacts on your starter relay

    Here's a diagram. It looks like a 2 speed motor Look at page '8' for the diagram http://www.route66hotrodhigh.com/TechSheets/pdf/Desoto1946-48.pdf The above is found to be corrupted. Do not use!

    This guy has 5 videos on rebuilding a Chrysler flathead 6. I don't remember which video has your information. You might a;so want to check out Kieth's Garage.

    In my 37 Plymouth I have a 1951 230 engine with a 39 tranny. It all bolts together. The hand brake is a 37 as mentioned earlier. I would think that the best thing to do is take your engine and tranny out which is what you would have to do anyways to rebuild your car. Otherwise, it's a guessing game. You may find as I did on my 39 tranny that there are 40-41 synchros & clutch gears inside.

    The brake lever is on the right side on a 37. I see yours is on the L,H, side. The transmission is the same as mine except mine is a 39. So you could use a 37, 38, 39 transmission

    There is never enough stuffing. I sent you a PM
  24. SteveR
    I always stuff the bird. I make good use of every nook and cranny. I salt the cavities and rub the salt in, then stuff it. I use different pieces of bread including Soft Pumpernickel the onions and celery are softened in butter with sage, salt, and thyme. Mine comes out perfect every time. Thats one of the great things about Christmas.... traditions.
  25. SteveR
    Ooo, I believe that the turkey is a vehicle for the stuffing. Whats your recipe?
