  1. First off, this belongs in the classified section, not here. Secondly, what is it and if you say a flathead six I will taunt you again.
  2. It would depend on if the fuse panel is going to be a constant supply or a switched supply. Constant supply, at the battery side of the stater solenoid, thru a fusible link. Switched supply, at the ignition switch, thru a fusible link, where the red wire is connected to the switch.
  3. I don't see any pressure readings. You don't know that you have a leak, all you do know is that you do not have a working AC system. Many things can cause that.
  4. This myth needs taken out, shot, hung, quartered, drawn and run thru the wood chipper. Exhausts NEVER need back pressure. If you have back pressure you are choking your engine. https://www.motortrend.com/news/engine-masters-ep-9-busts-the-backpressure-myth-3-vs-2-5-inch-exhaust/
  5. Rockauto crosses PA's OEM part number to the following https://www.rockauto.com/en/partsearch/?partnum=1550929 The specs give the dimensions.
  6. the easy fix is a lift. My son and I changed the oil in the trans and rear end this past spring. It really wasn't an issue.
  7. So what do you do if the surface is not flat? In the link I go thru a new water pump and I check the gasket surface for flatness, it wasn't so I fixed it. Same repair would apply here http://www.yourolddad.com/cooling-system
  8. They also didn't break down like a lot of the competitors. Classic tortoise and hare. A Petty Plymouth
  9. 95 kmh? 95 mph?
  10. Those are some pretty holy floors and the Plymouth Doctor is no longer making them.
  11. Exactly and the noisiest part is the cooling fan. I drove from Memphis to San Diego in my 64 300, 4.10 gears and a three speed manual. It sang to me. But back then the speed limit was 55. Which I never did, lol.
  12. New rear drums, $89 https://www.ebay.com/itm/312278878867?hash=item48b5458a93%3Ag%3AuREAAOSwqRBbR6R5&fits=Year%3A1948|Model%3AP15+Deluxe|Make%3APlymouth
  13. Lol, his gas tank on Amazon is $200 more than the same tank off his website. Shop around, https://fueltanks.com/products/1940-1948-new-reproduction-gas-fuel-tank-for-dodge-desoto-chrysler-and-plymouth-vintage-cars
  14. No heat shield, don't think they were stock for everything Yes, it does.
  15. I routinely drive my 51 in 100+ degree heat with no issues and no vapor lock tricks. I dunno.
  16. Interesting sort of test
  17. I think it works as a sort of Atkinson cycle variant, where the fuel air mixture isn't sufficient for full power but it takes advantage of the longer stroke to get more use out of what it has.
  18. I recently watched a YouTube video from a guy that ran a lawn mower carb on his Maverick, with a 302. With no real special effort he got 40mpg.
  19. That gas isn't vaporized, it is atomized, which is not the same thing in the context of what I think Hickory is referring to. In this case, atomized means very small liquid state particles and vaporized means gasoline that has gone from liquid to gaseous state.
  20. Probably better, I recently bought a set of these for my 8 3/4 I am building for my 65 Cuda and the threads are weak.
  21. A working Sisson choke is no great mystery and neither is adjusting it. You don't need special tools or a ton of literature. It is a very simple thing to do. http://www.yourolddad.com/choke
  22. I already posted a link to that. Re-asking already answered questions is likely to get, at least with me, you ignored.
  23. Not a bolt in. The steering column shaft is one piece from worm gear inside the box to the nut under the horn button.
  24. There was a guy who recently detailed his swap to a center steer rack and pinion setup, lot's of ery good info there.
  25. Of course the question is why is the Sisson disconnected? Is it bad? Wrong carb? Where is the linkage that is missing? Here's a picture of the setup on my 51 Cambridge
