Here isa Power line MoPar Battery Sign rich hartung

But you need to have the cap and dizzy setup so that is the order that they fire. If you have the wires in an incorrect hole then everything is off. So you have to know where the number 1 hole is in the dizzy cap and then go from that point. Rich

I saw a post this morning about someone posting a question regarding if MoPar had an original Battery. I just purchase an original All MoPar Battery catlog that covers from 1929-42 and it is in color. Have postes some pictures of the correct MoPar battery. i have never seen any of these for sale or even in any cars But if you are point judging then this is what should be in your car or truck.

Which NGL sparkplug number hope 14 mm with a 3/8 reach. Are there a riesister type plug? If resiter might have to gap at 30. What was the plugs that had been in the car? Are you getting spark at any of the plugs. remove a plug wire from the plug and have someone try to start the car and verify that at least you are getting a park at the end of the wire. Rich

Here isa color picture of the MoPar Battery that is taken from my MoPar Battery Catalog. I have never seen a MoPar battery at any swap meets I have seen the Willard Battery. I have more literature on MoPar Batteries and will list a copy of the Battery catalogs from the 30's to the 50's. Rich Hartung desoto1939@aol.com

what sparkplug did you use? What is the gap that you set p on each plug. Are the wires connected correctly for each plugs and by this I mean the firing order s number one on the cap is going to number 1 plugs. Did you chnage anything elase while doing a tuneup or just the plugs? You should just snug up the plugs. We all need more info Rich Hartung Desoto1939@aol.com

The fan belt on the 36' Desoto is falling apart. The number on the belt is Raybestos V-609. Do you have the cross reference number for a replacement?

Spring Carlise April 21-25 Anyone going to be attending?
desoto1939 replied to desoto1939's topic in P15-D24 Forum
Extended weather for next week. Wed 50% chance of rain rest of week looks to be good. So I might be going on Thursday. I will put in an update after I come home. to let everyone know if there was a good amount of venders or not. Mark, this has to be about a 6-9 hr drive for you. Its about 2-2.5 for me. Hershey is also close to me and that about 1.5. I do have a site at Hershey every year so if you come down stop by I am in the Orange field OAD7&8 Row AD site 7 and 8. Rich Hartung Rich Hartung -
Thnaks for the updates from the members that are looking at the catalogs. I am always search for original catalogs that can provide information abut our older cars. This is how I learn from these catalogs. A friend has a 38 DeSoto and when i looked at the Oil Filter catalog i saw his original style canister so I learned something again today. You can never stop learning. Rich Hartung

sometimes you do find the holy grail. I found a NOS plastic insert for the Speedometer cluster for my 39 Desoto. The seller did not know what it fit. I later on sold it to a gentleman in South Africa that needed it so it went to a good home. We are always on the hunt for these early parts and just think that yours is 80+ years old and is still in such great shape. Rich Hartung desoto1939@aol.com
