  1. No worries man, I appritiate you checking for me!
  2. I would be very much interested anyways, always good to have a spare engine to rebuild on the side. just let me know!
  3. For those of you not following. I had a mechanic disappear with a bunch of my engine parts. I found a guy selling balancer, collar, and pulley for a 1949 Dodge P18 Flathead 6. bulk dealer with no idea what size engine this came off. What are the chances that these will fit/function properly on my 1946 Plymouth P-15 with a 218 Flathead 6? Thanks in advance!
  4. Thank for the offer! Normally I would be all for it. However with my car down, I am kinda relying on the generosity of others. A long trip like that is a serious ask and I cant say for sure that I will be able to come up with "a ride". Thanks again!
  5. I I am in Longview, 35 miles north of the Oregon border. I would be interested in your harmonic Balancer, and possibly the crank pulley. As stated above I need a pulley for a 5/8 belt (Just measure the gape in the pulley)
  6. Not that I am aware of. Hopefully someone will jump in with an answer!
  7. S.O.S I hired a mobile mechanic to replace my front main seal. He disapered with a bunch of my parts. His tools are still here. I theorize He took the parts home to paint, as he has with other parts. I havent heard from him for over a week and the guy who referred him to me thinks "He might be in jail". His tools are still here so I am not sure what gives. I am trying to source 1 harmonic balancer, One Crank Pulley (the big one, I think its 5/8 groove) one "Motor mount" (The inverted U shaped piece that bolts in front of the timing cover) for a 1946 Plymouth Special Deluxe with a 218 Flathead six and a three speed transmition. Any help would be appriciated!

  9. Doing a new oil pan gasket to try and fix the leak I created last time I did an oil pan gasket. Noticed a slim wirerope wrapped around the base of the crank pulley. I am guessing it is from my last V-belt failure. I am now worried about the integrity of the front main seal gasket. The local parts hause doesnt even have a listing. I tried looking online. Anyone have a Parts number I can search?
  10. Well. I have revisited this. I spontaneously tried the "Push the clutch in" test. a couple experiments in and I found Clutch in no vibration. clutch out Vibration, but only in third gear. I am currently playing with the adjuster and have managed to lessen the vibration. Not entirely but an acceptable amount.
  11. Okay, I am almost through Gathering parts. Question hit me. I know "Electricity doesnt care which way its going" What about Relays and H-4 Bulbs? Do I need to wire things backwards (Positive Hot Negative Ground) or is just matching red to red and black to black sufficient?
  12. Okay, Got my Toyota endorsed headlight kit, Got my 6v H-4 bulbs. All sorts of ready to start installing. A thought occurred to me BEFORE I wv as neck deep in the project (A rarity for sure, but it DOES happen from time to time). I am Pro Relaying the headlights, especially as EVERYTHING (Horn, headlights, brake lights, EEVVEERRYTTHIHNNGG) goes through the ignition switch and I am keen to get some amperage AWAY from the switch. Will the relays that come with the kit work on a 6v system, would relaying the system require 6v special relays, or am I totally safe Plug and playing the existing the new bulbs into my existing harness? Edit : Read further down the thread posted by Sniper and read about relay issues caused to Sam Buchanan and ended up ordering the Bosch 6V relays.
  13. I also noticed that in item specifics the required voltage is listed as 12v ... That is one heck of a good deal! Thanks!
  14. Anyone have any experience with these? Last I heard 6V LEDs where junk. https://www.ebay.com/itm/176062383163?mkevt=1&mkpid=2&emsid=e90001.m161799.l174484&plmtId=700008&mesgId=3015&mkcid=8&ch=osgood&bu=44780323931&trkId=953f5779-c352-369d-be48-2cee33ce92e3&cnvId=700003&recoId=176062383163&recoPos=1
  15. The other day I noticed a fair amount of corrosion on my battery terminals. I tore everything down. Cleaned the terminals with a wire-brush terminal thing. Painted them with Baking soda water. cleaned everything off and put it back together. The starter spun like gang busters! Couple of days later(Literally like three), Starter is dragging again. Out of curiosity I took the battery cables back off and had a good look. There was rust stain on the parts and the battery cable ends where glazed. I cleaned everything up and put it back together. Starter turns like gang busters again. What am I doing wrong and how can I prevent Corrosion and the like in the future?
