  3. Hi Harmony I have the same problem on my 51 Dodge,, I bought a "Grease joint Rejuvenator" on amazon. did not try it yet, but sure I will try your way and maybe a mix of both ways to unclogged. One full turn out with the bushing, use to Rejuvenator, screw back-in, and do it again until it works like new.. lol Thanks for the information..
  4. Hi Doug so that gasket is very important?? mine is missing, the choke works good , but not 100%, like it should be,, it is hard to adjust.. Thank you for the information, as I can see, they are simple to work on, but every little parts needs to be there.
  5. Hi Gtfastbacker this is what I bought for my 51 Dodge.. did not installed it yet. 6 volts input to 12 volts, it is adjustable just in case it's off ( too high or too low) a bit on voltage, it is chinese after all!! lol,, It's about 2" long x 1 " wide.. I don't remember the 12v amperage coming out but I'm sure it's enough to power/charge a cell phone or small transmitter..
  6. Hahaha so funny,, When I go to a show & shine meeting,, I blackout the ''Do not'' on the sign that said, ''do not touch' so peoples can enjoy it,,

  8. hi you all. Is there a way to stop the right side hubcap to walk or move toward the tire valve and bend it???
  9. Hi, its this time of the year again to start thinking about it,, Where the summer went.. I was readings in an article on winter storage, pretty well standard stuff, except for one thing.. To open the doors and trunk slightly, to give the rubber seals a change to relax!! What do you think on that or anyone as tried it??
  10. Talking about the fuel gauge, it is always moving when you are down from the full mark, it move with the motion for the car and bumps.etc.. If it is normal ? will this wear out he fuel gauge mecanism after a while,,?? any maintenance with light oil to the dash fuel gauge or something like that. or is it a problem with the fuel sender?? or finally '' live it alone '' lol
  11. I found an article about the eternal question, How Fast Should I Drive It?, especially for the younger collectors.. Interesting in the way ours engines are built compared to others brands.. .Plymouth First Decade: How Fast Should I Drive? (ply33.com)
  12. Hi, I have a hard time to figure out the gas mileage on my 51 Dodge with a 251, 3 speeds, and a 3.9 axle, It does idle more often & longer than my modern car, mainly for maintenance and at show (peoples want hear how quiet the engine is,, ?). But the last time I check it was around 15/16mpg(us) combined,, and the city traffic up-here is light and I drive 45-50 mph on secondary road, I should be happy with 15mpg, but with 1,000miles a year it is hard to figure it right,, but since I will be going to the 2022 P15 pinic in N.H... a 350 miles ride one way,, sure will be able to figure out the MPG a lot easier,, Here a thread from 2017 about Fuel economy,,
  13. There is this site who helps find Ethanol-free gas station across North-American, up here on the eastern part of Canada, most 91/94 octane gas sold by well-know gas station is Ethanol-free, and lucky for me the Costco in my town sell 87 & 91 Ethanol-free,, As for the price,, as today,, with all the calculations it turn-out to be about $5.22 a US gallon, and Monday it will go up again, the radio just said, Montréal is already at the $2 mark a litre,, ($5.88us).. wow that's crazy; on my 51 Dodge, I used 87 at Costco and 91 every where else.. here the link,, up to date I don't know?? Ethanol-free gas stations in the U.S. and Canada (pure-gas.org)
