Electric Wipers for '51 Plymouth? - Going 12 volt
Sniper replied to Bob Riding's topic in P15-D24 Forum
That is pretty much what I did for my 51. It works, but the wipers are slow.- 15 replies

hmm, a longer speedometer cable is cheaper than a new tail shaft housing. One would think, I know, that MoPar wouldn't make a special tail shaft housing for the RHD market. But what do I know, lol. At some point they did make a new tail shaft housing so there you go.

That would be the century before the last century, lol. But I was thinking that when I wrote it, lol.- 15 replies

I do not know, it is rated at 10A, which is the fuse size for the wipers. Not sure what fuse the horns use. I run my horns on 12v and they will wake the dead, in the next county, from last century.- 15 replies

When I worked at the cement plant we were changing out from sodium vapor to LED high bays. We replaced them much more often that the sodium lights, which was a PITA because we could just unscrew the sodiums and screw in a new bulb. Had to replace the entire LED fixture when they failed. The LED lights did not hold up well. But that might be more of a function of the ambient conditions than the lights. After all, it was 130F on the mill floor, in the winter. I sweated a lot, lol.

Yes, it is. The only concern I have is that the motor might rotate opposite of when it did as a 6v positive ground setup thereby messing up the parking feature. I am not certain it does rotate opposite though. But my parking doesn't work and that might be more of a case of the switch inside the motor needing attention. Have not looked at that. When I got the car the motor was out and the linkage completely disconnected, took me a while to sort that out so take pics, number the linkage ends, make a diagram, whatever you need to get it back together with minimal fuss.- 15 replies

Not a fan of the commercial trappings of Christmas. But nonetheless, have a great one.

I just run the original six volt motor in my 51 but it goes real fast on 12 volts. So fast I figured it was going to beat the linkage to death. So I made a current limiter to slow it down. They do make a 12 to 6 volt converter rated at 10 amps which is the fuse rating for that motor. I've got one but haven't tried it yet. I got it off of Amazon.- 15 replies

New B-3-B owner with some basic questions
Sniper replied to ktb's topic in Mopar Flathead Truck Forum
Hey I'm in San Angelo as well. If you need some help or anything shoot me a message -
The problem with an annual inspection reporting your mileage and basing taxes on that is people will get a big tax bill once a year and raise Kane about it. Kind of like how the income tax morphed into a payroll withholding situation. What the states ought to do and most likely will end up doing is you pay the tax as you charge your EV much like you pay the tax as you fuel your gas vehicles. That way they bite you a little bit at a time instead of a big chunk all at once

I am too dang old to sleep in a car these days. Regardless, lol.

If I recall correctly the nut is just there to lock down the screw so the adjustment doesn't move. You have to loosen the nut before you can adjust the screw.

Loren, If you are going to machine the crank and the flywheel to make this work Have the machinist tap the holes in the crank so you could use normal bolts instead of that crazy nut and bolt combo.
