It won't make it harder to turn over, but will keep it from starting. Especially if more than one valve is stuck.
-
I would be willing to bet that at least 1 intake valve is stuck open. The previously mentioned compression test will identify which cylinder (s).

The quality of the puller is of importance in this situation. I like to use an older USA made puller. An inexpensive foreign made puller will usually not work on a stubborn hub.

48 p 15 master cylinder removal and install help PLEASE!!
nc plumber replied to whippersnapper48's topic in P15-D24 Forum
Must have been the brand of cylinder that you used. I replaced one yesterday with one that I purchased from Summit, it was a perfect fit. -
If you don't mind that it is leaking and that you will keep an eye on the fluid level, then no it's not critical that you fix the leak. I would only replace the mount that's broken.

Do you own a volt meter ? Even an inexpensive one is very helpful. Check continuity thru the points, voltage to the coil. A few minutes of trouble shooting will isolate the problem.

I got 2 subscription offers in the mail yesterday, looks interesting. Popularity and reproduction parts are a large part of the Chevrolet's prices.
-
Turns out that the starters do interchange, ?. I would still like to find out the brand and model of the rusty starter so that I can get some rebuild parts for it.
-
The dirty starter is the one I removed from my Dodge. I was wanting to install the other one.
-
Are these 2 starters interchangeable ? I pulled the rusty one from a '47 Dodge coupe, has ps291 on the nose, no tag. The other from a '47 Plymouth, has ps1253 on the nose, tag MZ-4133. The rusty one turns very slow and draws a large amp load. I will rebuild it if I can figure out what it is.

I'm thinking a clogged line. The old pump acted the same way as the new one.

Moparpro. I think his tanks are on sale for $315 right now.

Yes, GM stands for General Motors.

I used Milton 476 on my Plymouth wheels. The center section of the valve stem was thicker than my wheels were, so I carefully dressed them down. They worked fine and most importantly they don't leak.

A little trick I've saw used on worn items is to dust the item with flour and shake off the excess. Sometimes it will help just enough to make out a number that was unreadable .

I've found that a few good whacks with a hammer will usually break the bond between the shoes and the drum thereby allowing the drum to turn. You made a good choice by focusing in on the brake's first. That's the most important system of the car.

Engine Sputter & System Charging; Engine runs fine & no charge.
nc plumber replied to Noah's topic in P15-D24 Forum
That is an interesting problem. Something is definitely amiss (pun intended) in the electrical system. I would check the voltage to the coil, both when it's showing a discharge and when it's charging. It shouldn't be showing a discharge when it's running , so if you can figure out why, then the other problems are likely to be resolved. I might be tempted to put the old regulator back in as a test. -
Correct, the tailpipe needs to turn to the right as it passes under the bumper.

1949 plymouth special deluxe cranks but wont start

I am only guessing but I think you have some debris in the carb. Maybe when you lifted the back some debris in the tank got in the outlet of the tank and into the carb. -
It's fairly common for some of the valves to stick open when an engine sits unused for a long period of time. I'd remove the plugs on the cylinders with the stuck valves and pour some Marvel Mystery oil in the cylinders and let it sit overnight. Adding some seafoam to the fuel would also be a good idea. Start it the next day and see if the valves are free.
-
I would paint it. I'm thinking it would begin to rust with nothing to protect it.
-
That is a drain cock, it will allow the water or anti=freeze to drain from the engine block. There should be an identical one on the bottom of the radiator to drain it as well.

I just finished bolting down my freshly recovered seats in the '47 I recently bought. Will try to get some more pictures later. I replaced the door panels and added carpet while I was in there working as well.

I've got a '37 Plymouth and have bought quite a few pieces from Moparpro.com

I once came across a stuck horn relay that was draining the battery. Someone had unhooked the horn so it wouldn't be blowing all the time, but failed to disconnect the power feeding the relay.
