  1. if fulton is still in business try a call to them. capt den
  2. my jeweler had a guy that could work on small parts. they can solder tiny stuff and work with snall parts. worth a try. capt den
  3. synthetic oil just burned thru my engine a little faster than the old conventional oil. the manual for my car [54 windsor] calls for oil changes at 5000 miles. i do it more often. the old filter is a mess to change and the filters have gotten costly. chrysler did not even put a drain plug on the cannister. why the heck not? i use 10w 30. capt den
  4. if new to these cars remember the left side lug bolts are left hand threads. good not to let a tire shop try to remove them as they do not know this and will cause damage. good luck with the car. capt den
  5. when i had mine done i think .060 was the limit. i had mine milled only .010 as i just wanted to have a flat surface. i have also taken heads off and put them back on with no milling.just check for a good flat surface. capt den
  6. NEVER HEARD OF OR SAW A LIGHT TUBE BEFORE. SOMEONE WILL KNOW.
  7. going thru alot of these posts. sad to see don coatney he was a fountain of info for us all. i have some decent tools but nothing like what some of you guys have.when i learn how to post pictures i will post my homemade water dist tube puller. capt den
  8. my 54 windsor is 4.5x5 for the rim. i have a 51 plymouth rim for my spare and it fits. also, the 235/75 tires will rub on the tie rod ends on the front. i had to use 225x15 to avoid that. capt den
  9. dorman makes a core plug that you put on with a wrench and a socket. part # 568-010. they are about $5 each at any parts store. you may have to order them, or look online. they are supposed to be temporary, but mine have been in my 265 block about 8 years. easy to install with the engine in the car.
  10. i know tis is an old post, but i have done business with them. i recommend them. good people, fair prices. they actually call you back. capt den
  11. i stumble when i accelerate, too.
  12. not sure if they ever had a visor for my 54 windsor convertible. dennis
  13. i have settled for the blind spot mirrors. tried others, like the swan necks but could never get one to be useful. i have spots on my 06 chevy truck, and on my wifes honda.they do the job and make driving safer. dennis
