You guys are awesome. Thanks!!

Hello all. I have a 1951 Plymouth Cranbrook. The rubber part that connects the filler neck and the tank is all cracked and leaks when I fill up the tank. Anyone know where I can get a new one? I've done some searches on the web and can't find any. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hello. I have a 1951 Cranbrook. The rubber oil pressure line that connects the hard line from the block to the line that goes into the dash is leaking. Anybody know where I can find a replacement? Thanks

I have looked. The negative terminal from the battery is going to the engine block. I was having problems with the charging, but i had work done on the voltage regulator. It stopped being a problem. I then let the car sit for some time while I was out of the country and then out of the state on business. It was having a really hard time starting the car with the cold weather and the like and so it I had to keep recharging it. Once the car was running it ran great all day long. It was after it sat for like a week or two that it was having trouble getting started again. So i would drain the battery trying to start the car. It eventually just crapped out and would not recharge any more. What I'm understanding is that I can run the battery with the set up as is and not really be doing any damage. I should look at the wiring and follow the connections and see what the situation is. My car does not have a radio so that is not an issue. Everything else works fine when the battery is charged and running. Will this new battery just lose its charge over time? Will I be back in the same mess in a few months? Thanks to all the responses. Sorry if I am not getting the electrical stuff, like I said, I suck at that and know my limitations. F.

I have been running my car (1951 Plymouth Cranbrook) for over a year now with the negative terminal grounded to the engine block. That is how the car came when I bought it. The battery is very old and does not hold enough of a charge any more and so I decided to replace it. I bought an Exide 6 volt. When I bought the battery, I was reminded that the car is a positive ground. So I scratched my head and wondered how is it that its worked all this time. I am really bad when it comes to electrical stuff. Can anybody help. How do I know if my car is still a positive ground? Could it have been converted at some point to a negative ground? What will happen to this battery if I run it with the negative grounded on the block? Really confused and in need of help. Anybody? Thanks

sweet thanks.

really? NAPA auto parts? WOW that is easy. I thought it would be something way more complicated. I found these. Any thoughts? http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=370061815687&viewitem=&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWAX%3AIT

Hello All. I have a 1951 Plymouth 4 door cranbrook. It was running fine until i went away for work. the car sat for two weeks. it got home charged the battery and it started fine. after a while of driving, i noticed that heat gauge was going higher and higher. i pulled over and turned off the car. i looked under the hood and all i could see was smoke coming out of the oil. i waited a few hours but the car stayed hot, whats more at first it continued to get higher and higher. it now runs well but the heat is higher than i am comfortable with and higher than it used to be. i have checked the oil and it seems fine. i will be changing it just because soon. i toped off the radiator. any thoughts on what could be wrong? this is my first 50's car. i have always had cars from the 60 and so i am still getting used to som of the issues. any help would be greatly appreciated.
