Plymouthy Adams

I know the feeling, while we rarely lose any time for driving the car, today was so nice I just said heck with it all and took the motor bike out for a good long cruise, blew through a tank of gas....now I think I will take mums out for supper and call it the weekend complete. This really does not mean much, the AC is still running for the house.

keep in mind the listing will allow for more drop here than many imagine.

hey, if they got rid of everything ugly, odds are we would also not have any membership here to speak of...

I did cut an article on this model, rare for sure......

I have two of these rare town sedans in captivity....they are as stated, kinda far and few between.

some things are just not worth the effort...a Pinto wagon even with the following of today's happy collector, this would still apply...this hold true for cars in a fire even if not physically burned to bits, the blast of cold water on a body to extinguish a flame....you have more luck collecting and selling beer cans for a living.

have you at least drained the oil and see how much water you holding inside....just what was the high water mark on the truck as it sat in the flood area...this will tell you volumes.

you have not even removed the gasket that probably is holding the piece in place....

is this modeling steering wheel one that is currently doing a runway, magazine or internet approach at marketing.....? if you have a current aftermarket wheel in mind, check next if it supports your make and models car....else list your wheel you like and ask if anyone has used it successfully.

you did good, years ago these were not available....I made my own using a set of the headlight coils for the same car. The solution across the market at the time were the door jamb contacts...nice idea and with a set in hand determined these would never work....the A and B posts are not very suitable for this ilk...likely after a failed attempt you would be welding up the area and go to plan B....the ones you show are in my opinion the only manner to do the task but since then discovered another manner that will work. Suggest you study even these closely as the A-post on these models are not at all friendly for wiring looms. Alternate means can be done using similar products....but will be a bit more involved....

have fun with running the wires....it is clear you have not studied the manner the door is shaped and the hinges are recessed and further that will apply to any contacts for the most part.....suggest that if you wish to use contacts...do not consider the typical hot rod offerings...HOWEVER there are some that can be used, a walk through a wrecking yard is suggested.

while the Plymouth chassis and body was typically used with the shortened wheel base cars.....the Dodge features/trim/etc places them in the Dodge realm in the Canadian market...the very bumper on this screams Dodge....in this GRAY area one must be careful when buying some grille trim etc while it looks Dodge, it is not full sized Dodge and you end up with a part that is not useable. It has always been my view that the Dodge styling cues surpassed all the other sister....Dodge would be Cinderella with the DeSoto being the evil stepmom and the ugly sisters Chrysler and Plymouth....☺️ (as in all things lumped, there are exceptions)

then likely it is an add...who knows how the PO wired it....it appears by the fuse attached to be of German origins. Typical VW/Porsche style, only suggestion, wire it for the application you need so to do the task you wish AFTER ensuring the validity of its operation.

have you considered the possibility it is the horn relay?

I think a look under your car now and then and or to look through the pages of your work manual would prevent a lot of running about with the fear the sky is falling....it is not rocket science or leading edge development of any sort, as you state, it is just an old Plymouth that has been around for decades and is not in any manner self-evolving its mechanicals.
