  1. Out of idle curiosity, do you know what the spring rate for stock springs are? (1946 Plymouth P-15 or other applicable vehicles)
  2. On the topic of modernizing suspension... Anyone know of a similar front spring to ours that is a might bit stiffer? Even after putting new shocks on, she is mighty soft riding. p.s. 1946 Plymouth Special deluxe
  3. Ordered a Pain of Tie rod ends (One inner one outer) Should be here this week. Turns out Tierod ends from 1996 Dodge Caravans Fit our cars. I am using this as a holding action until I can order a proper full front end rebuild kit.
  4. https://www.ebay.com/itm/145495233685?mkevt=1&mkpid=2&emsid=e90001.m162181.l175008&plmtI
  5. Thats the one. I actually havent. Not sure how I missed him but I will check <p.s.> I thought you didnt like Andy. I got back under her and looked again, You are right in that the pitman arm itself doesnt have a spherical joint, It comes off the Drag link and goes THROUGH the pitman bar. Looks like it has loosened up. which is odd as it has a castle nut and cotter pin. No play in the tie rods, there is SLIGHT movement in the pilot side king pin. I had her inspected by a reputable shop shortly after I got her running. a full replacement of all front end components at the same time is in the works, I just keeps getting pushed down the priority list and I end up replacing single bits
  6. Yes its that time again. The steering is starting to get loose. 3" steering wheel play coupled with Polyglass tires means Jacquiline darts all over the road. I put her up on some ramps, had a friend shake the steer wheel while I was under the car. The ball joint at the end of the arm that comes off the steering wheel is showing play. Everything else seems pretty solid. My luck in finding a replacement has been zero! Anyone have a lead on a replacement? Thanks in Advance! Edit : 1946 Plymouth 2door coupe
  7. Got out and inspected the linkage. The adjustment screw for the Gear selector rod was less than finger tight. I adjusted it down until all the slack was gone, then turned it back 1/2 turn. .. then ran into the issue the Previous owner ran into. The adjustment nut and the lock nut are both really skinny, Making it hard to tighten down the lock nut. I did my best, I plan on replacing the nuts with wider nuts so I dont have to fight to get the wrench on just one nut. I did not get a chance to try the jack up the trans test, suggested by soth12003. but a visual inspection showed the mounts to be well hammered. I wouldnt be surprised to find out they are factory installed pieces. I do, however, have easy access to all four gears! Thank you everyone for talking me through this!
  8. Well... MIGs are great air superiority fighters, and can even make a passible Multi-role fighter. However they are **** at holding car parts together. I would have to follow the crowd and go with TIG welding.
  9. Nope, No action with the engine off. And actually yes. I managed to get her (Rather easily I might add) Into reverse by moving the levers by hand!
  10. Because it shows wear. Thats the one. Pretty easy to access once I pulled the floor panel... again... I have not adjusted the Clutch pedal. Never saw a need to. I will have to check on it! I try to shift into reverse and it just stops moving at the point where it normally would shift out of Neutral. Fairly solid, Dosent feel bound up, Feels blocked off. Dosent go into gear at all.
  11. Found/Removed the screw discussed in the first thread. It looks okay save the shoulder shows wear in one spot. Any word on a replacement?
  12. Had a beautiful day yesterday! Sadly it was darkened by Jacquiline refusing to go into Reverse. Its been getting harder and harder to go into reverse for a while now. Went out and ckecked the linkage under the hood but no joy. doing a bit of research I came across these threads. They seem to be addressing the same issue I am having. Can anyone translate them into pilot-dummy talk? To sum up. I have 1st 2nd and 3rd, but no reverse. ,
  13. Sorry guys, All ambition and no energy today. so instead I will leave you with the diagram that will etch the basics of Electricity in your mind so you will never forgeet.
  14. Will check the bulbs, Weather is kinda Snotty today (cold, wet ...) so I will wait till the weather clears up a bit, hopefully no more than a couple days. I will try to remember, but no promises. I'm lucky to remember what I had for breakfast.
  15. THAT is worth looking in to, Next time I'm out Ill check each bulb individually. The backs I suspect are okay, I have never even considered it when working on the front.
