  1. I would like to get our 1950 Dodge Coronet painted. I live in the San Francisco bay area In California. I am amazed at the cost in this area and how long it will take. Do you have any leads, feedback. How far from me are you? Thanks in advance.
  2. I would like to know if our cars and trucks had colored battery cables. If so being positive ground would that cable be red? Or the Ground always be black.
  3. I am looking at a few pieces from the Plymouth Doctor. Have any of you used them? Where you happy with the workmanship? Do any of you have a different supplier? Thank you.
  4. Try looking up a company Called WILCAP. they are in CA. Paul is his name. maybe he can help.
  5. Thank you all for your input. I will keep looking.
  6. Stargrinder, will you wing window open? That looks to fit the car. I like the size of the base did those come on your car? That mirror diameter is bigger the mine at would help. do you know where it came from?
  7. This what thought I have some Crestline books from years ago and i see no mirrors. Thank you for the information. I will keep looking something. I have some 58 Plymouth but they look to big.
  8. Could some please send me some pictures of the stock mirrors for Coronet. The car had clamp on Mirrors when i bought it. I put on custom/ aftermarket and they look to flimsy for me.

  10. Big question. with our positive ground cars do I wire the the Pertronix coil as marked ? Or will the wires need to flip?
  11. Wayfarer311 On my 1950 Coronet the wire goes straight to the starter . Please confirm this. the wire is in the small harness with the carb, resistor, circuit breaker, choke, and the tranny.
  12. The part number I was sold and resold the second time is 2563LSP6. I wired it per verbal instruction. I would like to get to the bottom of this for the fluid drive / gyromatic cars.
  13. That is the horn relay, I looked under the dash I will try a few and see if they are worth sending.
  14. Snowe, The last two. Let me know if these help i will try to get the tranny wires next. Should they me closer?
  15. Snowe I have a few to try.
  16. I would like to follow along. I have tried two times The guy at Pertronix ended up being no help to me at all. I tried to explain about our transmissions tied to the ignition and got no where. I did read a post about a 7 ohms resister and that was needed on the fluid drive cars.
  17. I will get some pictures of my car I also have a 1950 Dodge Coronet. I have just made a new harness that stated with the carburetor thought the transmission controls. I do think a copy of the shop manual could be a great help to you. I use mine every time I do anything on my car. I will be converting to a 6 volt positive ground alternator Soon. The company I used also has a kit to keep the 6 volt transmission controls if you want to change/complete the 12 volt conversion. That company is " Vintage auto garage " 800 516-4461 Jay Johnson.
  18. I have an factory aluminum head that is at the machine shop know being cleaned. I can see that it is much shorter then an iron head. The repair Manuel shows that my 1948 Desoto C.R at 6.6. This is a 25 inch engine. Is there anyone that has CCed their head. I would like to know what Numbers our member are getting. I plan on CCing the aluminum head a spitfire head and a plan old run of the mill head. I want to end up at just about 8.5 to 9.0 at the max. While I am here has anyone had there engine fully balanced.
  19. Question Do the holes in the tube face down? I am getting to this point very soon. Thank you
  20. I need some advise I have a 1950 Dodge Coronet. I am having tail light issues. I think I need a headlight switch. I can not seem to find one yet. and would like to know what some of you do for replacements. I have spent many hours on the internet and can get close. Most all are still 12 volt. some will pull instead of turn . some have a fuse. I thank all of you for your help.
  21. I am truck shopping and need some education. The B trucks are called Pilothouse. I am seeing trucks for sale that do not have the quarter window. I missed out on a half ton "1948" flatbed and now I see a "1953" the same no quarter window. I do not know why. Would someone educate me on this era of truck I have tried to read about them and have not came across this cab information yet.
  22. I want to check. If i looked up up this correctly. I bought a flathead six, 25 inch head. This engine has a power steering pump. The first three digits of the engine number are C53 . I think this is a 1953 Chrysler is this correct? I do not know when the number and the year started to be the same.
  23. Hello John,

    I am researching a Disc brake conversion for my 48 Desoto. Is your master cylinder under the floor? I need to keep my clutch pedal. is you set power also? 

    I know me if I make one it will weight about 30 pounds. Any information would be of great help.

    Thank you

    Frank

  24. I was looking to join another forum also a Mopar product. The webmaster told me about a interchange book he thought he still had but did not. He said it was printed from Chrysler and covered any part that would interchange from 1946-1948 , All four brands. Has anyone seen one, Have one or know of this printing. I would love to have this in my library. Any help with anything like this short of a Hollander will be greatly appreciated. Could something like this be from an outside source?
  25. Hope all are doing well. I am looking for a company that i had found late one night and can not remember there name. I think they had only Mopar stuff. I could be wrong there also. I want to say they were in New York? Does any one have any names they can throw my way? Hope so. Frank
