Oh crap at least it wasn’t too expensive maybe at least I could use some of the gaskets hopefully Sniper, do you know what the function of the anti stall solenoid is and what it has to do with the Gyro?

Carter ball and ball is what I wanted to say I purchased a rebuild kit from rockauto and I’m hoping it’s for the Stromberg and not the Carter it did not state what Carburetor it was for, it was just on the list of carburetors parts listed for my 52 Coronet 230 six

I’m not available to look at my existing carb because presently it’s 4 hours away at my friends shop I have obtained all missing wiring to tranny and to carb but now I’m wondering if I have the anti stall solenoid attached to carb! is this device do what I think it does? Raise the idle if it stalling? or does it connect to the coil and actually stall the engine to provide a smoother shift?!! seems weird to me but I’m leaning towards this as I read everyone’s horror stories with this GyroMatic Is this switch really necessary for proper operation of the transmission that’s all I’m really worried about. I know the kick down switch is in stalled on the cob I’ve seen it but I have not seen anything on the other side of the carb where I see the solenoid is installed What’s further confusing is I had an extra carb in the trunk when I bought the car but it is a Carter bowl and bowl and I’m positive it’s for the standard shift car there is no solenoid or switches on it whatsoever. I’ve tried googling the solenoid for this car and I’m having trouble finding it anybody have a part number or an extra solenoid they are willing to sell me and or a complete Stromberg carburetors for the gyro matic Any advice would be helpful in the next few weeks I plan a trip up to try to get the car started I will keep everyone posted and again once again I think everybody for their help

Once again thank you Doug and Deb i hope I don’t but I may well have I don’t have the car to check right now , it’s 4 hrs away at my friends shop we just installed a newly rebuilt engine and now I’m in the process of obtains all missing pieces to get the Dodge on the road we have not started it yet hopefully before it gets too cold im on Long Island and the car is at my friends classic car repair shop in Massachusetts once again thanks for all your help

Now that I have the transmission wiring harness and I have the circuit breaker and resistor assembly from eBay now I think my carb is missing the anti stall control on the carb! no idea what it looks like the only switch I have on my carb I think is the lick down switch on base of carb any part numbers for these carb switches?? I think these are my last missing pieces of my puzzle any help would be greatly appreciated thank you!!

I don’t hVe any idea

I made an offer on one and it was accepted $85 im really pumped!! thank you everyone keep you all posted on my progress!!

I found one on eBay I made an offer and I’m waiting for a reply If anyone has an extra one I’ll buy it thanks for the help marty

Oh ok thanks

My support is missing too Hoping the resistor is included in the wiring harness I just ordered but thank you for proving me with the value

Hi Doug and Deb I spoke with YNZ wiring and they quoted $234 plus shipping i went to Rhode Island wiring and there’s is $225 I think I’ll use them because the car is located 15 minutes from RI and maybe I could pick it up and save shipping cost thank you for the advice so far!!

Thank you so much!! I’ll keep you posted on my progress ???

Oh wow that’s great info thank you! the diagram I mentioned was found here on this forum and in my ship manual I really want to get all the proper wiring can you give me a little more info on where you got yours?

does anyone have a spare wiring harness that goes to the transmission solenoid up to the carburetor throttle switches I am installing a rebuilt engine and I rewired all the wiring to the engine to get it running but the transmission solenoid wiring harness is completely missing I have two questions number one : I have the diagram and I could probably make one but it shows a resistor and doesn’t give a value if I make one or anybody else has made one do you know the value of that resistor? question two : would the car drive without the wiring to the solenoid? I’ve heard different theories on this, so has anybody driven a car without wiring to the solenoid and would it be possible to take it on the highway? The car once we get it running is located four hours from my home I hope to drive it home

My 52 Dodge Coronet had no wiring for the Gyromatic solenoid governor and interrupter switches and I want to add my own wring but don’t know the values of the Circuit breaker and resistor unit. I don’t know if this unit can be bought or is part of a wiring harness . Can this transmission harness also be bought!

Probably will not sue but I sure learned an experience solution yes I know anything can be fixed especially these engines with such a long run my current builder whose a friend and someone I trust thinks it better to find another block with less issues thank you all for your help

All right no one has really helped me finding a running 230 flathead 6 I know anything can be fixed my engine rebuilder is just trying to save me a ton of money and I trust him. I only said I feel like suing to try to get my money back because my first rebuilder never checked any other cylinders or pistons and when he assured me the pistons and rings were fine along with crank bearings cam and chain! piston rings cam and crank along with some of the bores all need major work and all replacements. so why would he do all of this valve work when the rest of the engine was so bad. Well it may have been my fault because I told him the valves looked bad and they did and the tops of the pistons all looked good and pretty clean and I mentioned that and he agreed with me but I’m not the expert he is and he ran with that he just saw an easy way to make money and redo the valves and assured me everything else was fine and it wasn’t so that’s why I want to sue him

Meaning?

I thought the same thing but I’m not too savvy on engine rebuilding procedures I think I’m going to sue this guy once I get more info on how bad the block and components really are that he assured me we’re fine!

That’s exactly what this place did!!

That was my plan! I disassembled almost all of it had it taken out by a local garage by me and I brought it to the machine shop to find out why it had no compression and they just focused on the valves and pulled out one piston and supposedly measured it and said everything looks good and that was the end that they never looked at the other pistons or did any other measurements and they did all the valve work and when I got the engine back the One piston they took out they didn’t even put back I should’ve brought it right back then and there but I decided to take it to my buddy 200 miles away and have them go over it before I decided to rebuild it and that’s when he found out all the Pistons were crap the bore was 60 over already and in bad shape So bottom line the engine is not even worth fixing and now I’m at the money I paid for a valve job on an engine that’s not worth fixing

You make sense toO. I’m weighing all my options and Sifting through everyone’s well appreciated advice!

That makes a lot of sense I will ask him to look into these oversized pistons! appreciate the advice

Yes the block is already 60 over and it’s stamped A so I think that means it started life 20 over!! my machines that I trust recommends not spending any more money on this block
