  1. Do not lube an oilite bushing
  2. The pilot bushing typically installs flush to the end of the crank. As for the rest I'm not exactly sure what you're asking for.

    Oh sure, just as he finally got it properly broken in you went and got a new one. Gonna take lots of work to break in the new one, lol.
  4. Being a function over form kind of guy myself and based on what the OP wants them for I would temporarily rig one light of each up, with separate switches and see how they perform at night before I made any permanent decisions.
  5. The 230 I bought to build had shimmed bearings, never saw that before. Plastigage will do that for the OP, no need to spend money on calipers.
  6. Solution, offer the OP a sum he cannot refuse then keep it 6v.
  7. THIS IS NOT THE CORRECT FORUM FOR THIS THREAD This is the technical archive forum, where already answered stuff of technical value is saved. As in it's a FAQ section. Use the P15-D24 Forum instead
  8. Problem is, I don't think the OP is planning on having the crank machined so it really doesn't matter. In which case two options apply. Don't worry about and leave the bearings alone or just put new ones in the same size as you have. Neither is optimal
  9. Hmm, looking at Andy's post I see something that might work Yeah, it's listed as a fog light bracket, but it looks like it would clamp to those bumper brackets and a piece of angle iron bolted to the top would let you mount a plate? No, I wasn't looking for anything like this, I was looking for add on fog lights, lol.
  10. Not an issue if you convert to 12v, lol. Sorry
  11. Well, maybe if he bought a set of real good standards to verify his readings then it might be ok. But when your measuring things whit thousandths or ten thousandths of an inch tolerances, cheap stuff probably isn't up to it?
  12. I dunno, call me a snob but I's rather spend my tool money on real quality tools. Like Starret or Mitutoyo. Yeah, they cost a bit more but are definitely quality tools.
  13. Isn't there some meme where there is a version of hell and the cooks are British?
  14. Yeah, but it's British air, probably end up with a craving for tea and crumpets.
  15. In the downloads section there is an article about swapping a 318 into a 51 Plymouth. Might give you an idea though most, if not all, of the suppliers mentioned are out of business.
  16. You can use tiny url to shorten those long links. https://tinyurl.com/app Your long link becomes https://tinyurl.com/3a7nu28w I went an looked at the Carter link so see if they gae that specification. They do not, but by god they et you know it's 139mm long. Who cares, not like most of us (any of us?) know how long that is without converting. Lol I did fond the installation manual though https://www.manualshelf.com/manual/carter/p4259/installation-manual-english.html No help there, FWIW.
  17. Y0u could do that, or just push the rod and piston assembly up some, it's not going to slide down on you in the time it takes to do the inspection.
  18. Ain't that what Sheldon's Memaw calls him?
  19. When you act like getting info out if you is akin to pulling teeth help will not be forthcoming. This is a modification that I do not think anyone here has done so you are pretty much on your own. If you wanted to return it to proper original working condition, help would be there.
  20. Yes, that info would have been interesting to have to begin with. None of us are Kreskin. You realize the info on the ad was wrong in regards to the engine? Anyway, what do you mean by a "hood lift system"?
  21. Looks like photos from a "classic car" dealer. Here you go https://www.streetsideclassics.com/vehicles/2835-phx/1948-plymouth-coupe-pro-street
  22. Well, I went out and looked at it. Not in the path of totality, only 97% here. It got a bit dark out, temp dropped a bit. Tried to take a pic, but no dice. That's two eclipses for me in the last 8 months or so. An annular and a total. Wee, lol.
  23. Do not go gently into that darkness. Make that Z car fly, lol
  24. Yes, I use Duck Duck Go, here is a screen shot, note the search term I used. Just replace "engine flush" with whatever term you are searching for
  25. I am lucky, it is car driving season year round here. But I do drier her in the snow and rain too, so maybe it is just me, lol.
