    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

    No heat shield, don't think they were stock for everything Yes, it does.

    I routinely drive my 51 in 100+ degree heat with no issues and no vapor lock tricks. I dunno.

    Interesting sort of test

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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

    I already posted a link to that. Re-asking already answered questions is likely to get, at least with me, you ignored.

    Not a bolt in. The steering column shaft is one piece from worm gear inside the box to the nut under the horn button.

    There was a guy who recently detailed his swap to a center steer rack and pinion setup, lot's of ery good info there.

    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

    Sweet, love that he kept the vintage interior, right down to the steering wheel.

    The second picture is a sisson choke mechanism. It's an automatic choke, you are missing the linkage that goes to the carb choke butterfly. In the first picture you can see where someone hamboned in a manual choke setup.

    Heater duct and head bolt, or are you asking about the thing behind the circled head bolt? If so, Sisson choke.

    I hesitate to say for sure as I do not know how your hand brake setup is wired in originally and why the flasher is involved, I can guess though. I don't hae any Chrysler manuals to look at the schematics on
  19. Sniper
    dang it, you are right I snafu'd that one, lol
  20. Sniper
    With the proper flasher you do not need load resistors. https://litezupp.com/Flasher-Electronic-3-Prong-6-Volt-Positive-Ground Gee, from the culprits mentioned, lol https://www.ledlight.com/flasher-6-volt-led-3-prong-120-watt-positive-chassis.aspx All you have to do is read the write up for their flasher to tell you they don't know doodly.

    70+ year old rubber doesn't live long in use.
  23. Sniper
    Not sure what that word means. Measure out your old one, use the Wix site to find the right one, remember it is a bypass filter. https://wixfilters.com/Lookup/FilterBySize.aspx?catid=3&styleid=9
  24. Sniper
    No idea You still have the old one?
  25. Sniper
    Gear oil pump, turkey baster, etc. A real nut might even plumb a drain line with shut off ale into the bottom connection.
