Ok Please can anyone help me out here I am trying to see if anyone has or can lead me to where I can I find pictures or part #s for these parts I have circled in pen on my wiring diagram for my 53 Meadowbrook trying to sure I have the access to get the parts that I need as I don't see them anywhere on my car I hope the circled parts and names are legible if not please let me know so I can explain thank you all in advance

No worries Dave and soth I do have electric wipers and my carbs are the carter b&b so with using only one carb to check the vacuum it will be good enough for both carbs then? And yes they do have the plugs thanks a lot guys I appreciate it

I am only asking about if I could get some help as to where to hook up the gauge as I have a dual carb set up as for Internet connection for sales I don't follow you and I am not trying to have you look up anything for me just maybe some PICTURES as to where and how it works sorry I am a newbie to these flat heads just trying to get some help

Ok so I'm trying to find out if I was to get one of those vacuum tester from Harbor Freight where and how would I hook it up any please? Thank you

Ok thank you going to try that now will give update later

Los Control????

Ok so I bought a compression tester to check my '53 and front front to back front being # 1 and last one being # 6 so 1 thru 4 all reading at around 120 5 & 6 I get no reading but when I put a rag in each and turn car over they both shoot out like rockets so any advice as to what is going on or what I need to do please and thank you

Copy that Sniper and thanks so when you say good luck keeping it 12v positive ground how do i switch the other way because as of right now I was not getting spark when I got her ready to fire up again so I checked the wiring did a few switching in wires back to + - and she fires up now and same with electric fuel pump wasn't sucking gas to carbs it was blowing out until I read up on it and had to switch the wires as well on it and now it works fine just trying to get help on as to what I need to do if I should try and put back to negative ground when I do my 6 to 12 volt conversion I again thank you for any help you or information tips etc. you can offer also as for those reducers my gauges are not set up that way they are the male to female pin plug in if that makes any sense

Ok another question I finally got my 53 up and running well at least fired up my question is if I was to do the conversion the car is on a positive ground set up now when I do the switch over am I going to leave it positive ground and will I still be able to run accessories like radio speakers and such also this is what I am thinking of buying for my conversion I already have the harness and alternator going to try and use the starter as I've seen that I possibly can buy anything else that I might need or not need please feel free to let me know Id appreciate any and all responses

Thanks Rich so I did switch it back to positive ground and also switched the wires on the FP I alligatored it the ign switch real quick to see if she would start and also getting gas which she is now and FP is working fine but as you stated about the wire feeding the FP how or where would wire it to be setup correctly please and thank you all again for your help greatly appreciated

Ok thank you all but I did some re wiring under dash and found TDC rotor was more at the 6 o'clock position re ran my wires and I finally got her to crank over and yes supposedly it did or does have the kick down switch on I took it out the button never did nothing when I got the car but I appreciate all your knowledge in your responses but now I have one more little problem maybe you all can help me out with so I did wire it back to positive ground and now for some reason my Carter electric fuel pump is blowing out instead of sucking to carburetors it worked before but I had it the other way so my question is do I have to reverse the wires on the fuel pump I've been doing some internet searching and looks like I do have to reverse the wires just would like more input please and again thank you all

Thank you tired iron so if the horn relay is not properly wired correct it could possibly be why I am not getting spark? And I've tried to look up images to see what they look like and I can't find anything and that is why I was asking if anyone might have some to get an idea of what to look for or buy also trying to figure out what this box above my coil is for It had wires coming from it ( green arrow) to this push button switch on mounted to the dashboard the box says (autolite 4001 a) what is it's purpose please and thank you again

So have a question what are these that are circled and if anyone has pictures as to what they actually look like please and could it possibly be reason for no spark for my 1953 dodge Meadowbrook please thank for any information

Ok trying to see if anyone in here can help me out with some picture diagrams or links to find out the correct way the gear shift linkage arms brake and clutch pedal arms are supposed to be hooked up on my 53 Meadowbrook it's the 3.8 L6 standard 3 speed and yes I have the manual but it's a reprint and can't make out to good and help would be greatly appreciated thank you

Thank you Sam going to get plug for it today maybe that's one of the reasons I could never get these dual carbs in sync and run correctly lol again thank you
