Last winter I spoke with these guys https://affordable-fuel-injection.com/ about doing an EFI system for the 230 in my Coronet ... they basically said if it burns gas ... they can make a system ... they even said they could adapt a distributor to our engines that could even have computer spark control .... But ... the problem was PRICE !!! over $1500.00 plus options With the Sniper system my guess the price will be around $800 .. with the added benefit of the tuner screens tach , air fuel ration,volt & temp displays my guess the system will work with a Pertronix box or one of Langdons diizzy's add a Tanks Inc fuel pump kit and its running for under a grand

Holley has done it !! New Sniper Flanged as a 1100 Autolite 1 barrel... looks like Ill be upgrading to 12 volt this winter ! https://documents.holley.com/199r12046.pdf

My 53 dodge has a separate switch for the defrost fan ... with the heater disconnected no real need for power ...I used it as a keyed power supply running to a relay to power a pair of Fog Lights that I use as day time running lights ... I also like the fact that it gives the generator something to do driving down the road

the heavy steel radiator fans use a tremendous amount of power ... I remember reading about the fan on Corvairs having about 15-20 HP parasitic draw if your generator/ alternator is up to date I would go electric

first shocks I used were monroe ... the number crosses over to Chevrolet C10 recommended by he the maker of the relocation bracket ... that turned out to be Wayyyyy Too Stifff....they were not bottoming out ... Round #2 I used mounts from Speedway and fabbed plates to mount them on along with their Street Rod shock... now rides like Butter !!!! https://www.speedwaymotors.com/Speedway-Short-Gas-Filled-Tube-Shocks-Black-Painted,2183.html https://www.speedwaymotors.com/Stainless-Steel-Upper-Front-Shock-Bracket-Unpolished,3331.html

did a shock upgrade... Score Michigan roads...1 Shock mount ...0 lets see if version 2.0 lives

have fun bleeding both wheel cylinders on each front

I didnt get any pictures... but there was a late 30's Plymouth coupe with a Desoto Hemi at the Detroit Autorama this year ... fit like it was factory

Upgraded to disc and used a Cherokee Axle

I have literally new fronts I took off my 53 if you need to match up or see how its supposed to go together

I recently swapped out my rear axle on my 53 from 3.90 gear s to 3.55.... previously 50 mph was the sweet spot ... now its 60 mph ... when I finally get a Over Drive trans ... 70 mph will be easy

I'm about 100 miles south ... I have a couple friends who were directly affected whats crazy is I looked into buying on Wixom Lake back in January , but didn't .... the lake is now GONE ! Several rivers flooded due to the rain storm monday .. over 4 inches of rain fell flooding also on the Rifle River in Arenac County closed US23 in Augres and the Tawas River in Tawas City in Iosco County washed out the Rail Line that serves the Alpena Cement ,and Rodgers City Limestone Quarry .

in my plans the single piston M/C was the to go ...

good Info ..the one in my engine is in good shape .. I might just order one and install it next winter

I've been making serious upgrades to the 53 Coronet Drive-ability by changing the rear axle to lower the final drive ratio from 3.90 to 3.55and with doing that it allowed me to have self energizing brakes on the rear ....the 53 brakes were friction ...also increased the drum size from 9" to 10" and shoe width by 1/2 inchUp front I installed a Scare Bird Disc kit and fabricated a mount for a dual piston master cylinder ... wonder if I should add a line lock while I'm at it ...the 90 hp flathead will never, be able to do a burn out... but it would be nice to have for hill holding ....Swapping out the axle required having a new drive shaft made...this swap is getting expensive ...this thing had better stop on a dime with 3 cents changeDisc kit...$429.58Rotors ...2 @$37.99Caliper...2 @$22.99Pads.....$43.99Drums ..2 @$55.99Shoes...$34.99MasterCylinder..$48.00Distributionvalve $45.00hardware,hoses misc..$150.00cherokee axle $125.00driveshaft..$459.60sub total..$1570.10

what carb is that ?????

I'm 3/4 through installing a scarebird kit on the front and a cherokee axle on the rear along with converting to a Dual reservoir master ... hardest thing on the axle install was lifting the damn thing

I have been bouncing this idea around also : while I was at the Detroit Autorama this year I spoke to a Project Manager from Affordable Fuel Injection Systems who said he could easily build a system to work with my 230 engine ... based off the system for a 225 slant 6 https://affordable-fuel-injection.com/product/mopar-chrysler-complete-tbi-system/ langdonsstovebolt.com/store/#!/Stovebolt-Mopar-Mini-HEI/p/1222043/category=18665979 found this a couple years ago while working on my cousins Corvair you might be able to pick the guys brain he was ready to pull the trigger on a system .... other issues halted the project http://www.corvair-efi.com/

I have an extra axle that came out from under a 53 coronet hemi car come get it N/C

I'm guessing it doesn't care that we have positive ground

use RainX

nice curve ball putting the Poly Valve Covers on the chebby
