in first post he stated IAT 4011
-
use the same words you typed here...found plenty of them on e-bay
-
where was the green paint noted....if an underside of a panel or say in the trunk....this would be ecosheen paint....a greenish color that varies from assembly plant to assembly plant.
-
invest in a better stereo system...
-
Sadly the new market is plastic...not even a quality nylon breaker cam on the points....back in the day when they were phenolic and a dab of lube actually did some good. Not much quality in points as technically they are way out dated....
-
well....my 48 Plymouth has an active air bag......three point belts and front crumple zones.....but that is just what I wanted with the build....
-
lot of negative talk here but for sure, the older cars unlike the new designs do not have crumple zones built it to sacrifice the frame and outer structure of the car to save the occupant. However that being said, if you are installing belts common sense applies....if at all possible, do incorporate 3 point belts and make good use of the shoulder strap. These are not that hard to install in the older car if you buy the right model belts....I have no aftermarket brand that I would recommend here. I also do not care for the most commonly referred to brand cheap washers. I also suggest you take a good in depth assessment of your older cars metal before any install. I use donor set ups for my cars and have never had to crash test them, but I feel more than comfortable they will do the task if called upon. At least at one time the design was tested. You have never seen the NHTSB issue a statement saying at x year change a belt. Some calls are made after an accident however and a rebuild of the car. IF you do go to the donor belts, just be careful the vehicle you glean them from were never exposed to the elements while in-op with broken glass or missing doors allowing the elements in, again, common sense.

Hey, I drove from Elko Ga to Canton one Easter to buy and tow home a car.....good trip...
-
FIAT fully integrated artillery transport...surely this was the driver's thinking maybe.
-
that little fellow surely has the look of disgust on his face...feel for the little guy...come on south big boy we will treat you a bit better than that.....I believe the same forces are behind the YAHOO mail....seems every other week I get slammed with the new version which I detest with a purple passion, to busy of a page to suit me. Anyway....find my way back to classic and hope it stays classic....

Overheat / fuel / hot restart
Plymouthy Adams replied to Steve Nelle's topic in Mopar Flathead Truck Forum
I have not seen any test results posted that positively conclude that it is fuel related. Looking suspiciously like a coil issue by description...of course you can test for that also... -
I believe the man is experiencing the all metal frame of the seat and how would one route the belt passing through a possible made man cut in the seat pan and STILL be very much able to adjust the seat with the belts passing through and not worry about chaffing or other damage to the belt and still be totally safe and comfortable install. There are ways and suggest you walk through a wrecking yard for a good donor inside anchor that is not fabric for to retrofit...
-
depends on the seat belt retractors if so equipped....if just lap belts....contact points should angle to the belt line of the passenger when seated....
-
Up early and have a couple of things planned to do and checking weather for best time to initiate some of this work....kinda disappointed in the forecast..... the big letters normally represent the current temperature.....figure I beat them out of bed this weekend. N/A Humidity NA Wind Speed NA Barometer NA Dewpoint N/A Visibility NA
-
the head bolts are not same diameter shank from thread to beneath the head of the bolt, the are undercut so to prevent rust and seizing.
-
I care not for all the bells and whistles....first they annoying, while safety minded by design, they are dumbing down drivers daily to depend on the sensor alerts and not honing driving skills. I bought my newest vehicle in 2015 and now have 35K miles on it...I bought it because it was an AVP trim Caravan. Very much a base model with few appointments. For that reason, I bought the vehicle. Turns out, 2016 was the last year for the AVP. My vehicles are getting older, scouring for a low mileage older vehicle has not been very successful. Unfortunately, Mopar does not offer anything I want these days.... dragging my feet but one day, got to get a bit of an upgrade to my 06 daily and hoping not to make it the low mileage 94 cruiser van or even the 90 B250 which is super smooth. While nice rides...they do suck up a bit of fuel for the local commute. Not happy with today's choices.
-
ensure you are not over pressuring the needle and seat with the constant use of the electric fuel pump over filling the bowl and dumping fuel into the manifold.....not all these pumps are low pressure like stated on the box. In other words..be sure the fix is not the cause before moving onto another probable issue.
-
could well have been...HEY EVEERYONE....Eneto-55 says your car looks like an electric razor.....!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!😁
-
I would guess off shore parts and labor....but this is JUST a guess.....remember, business today is not to satisfy your needs but to line their pockets and the deeper they get into them the better...at the age of these vehicles there is no longer factory support so what little you get is not always the cream of the crop....fewer crops planted is all I am saying and for fertilizer, they for sure using BS
-
I know most want to keep their vehicles looking stock. BUT at what cost in time, aggravation and cash. The fuel pumps offered for these cars today are typically junk by all the reports we get from the users here on the forum. While you can yourself rebuild you pump at home with simple tools and for lower cost, better job and higher reliability, many do not take that path. For me if I felt the fuel pump had to be in place to satisfy THE LOOK, looks would be all there would be to it as I install a quality electric Facet cube pump and let the big dog eat. Remove the lever and slip a blocking plate in place between a couple gaskets....no one the wiser but you for the most part.

I read somewhere on a forum a personal observation that to his opinion, all new cars look like electric shavers. I think they shaped like cockroaches. Back in the day, yes many cars were nothing more than the upgraded coach. But as time went on, each maker added a bit of bling and pizazz to their creation that later became an iconic feature of the brand, be it a gunsight grille or dual kidneys....one can at a glance name the beast. Things change....everyone is different in the same ole way.

the flying butter brick...got to love it.....I refer to my Morris van as the Flying Brick....the little bastard with the drivetrain upgrades will do 80 MPH on the interstate and likely could do more....not that I think it appropriate....even 80 was more than I expected but the chassis upgrades allowed that speed, before the upgrades...60 was a bit hairy...this is about 20 over what most folks call flying along in one of these bricks.
-
in a perfect world the Butter-bus would be the winner as it self lubricates. If not whole butter it could not win even if by a margarine.

I have more car than I ever will get to in my life time...they bring me joy to own, I like yourself, can go out to the barn and touch them and keep alive in my mind them in their heyday and how I may revive them if and when I ever get the time. Sadly I have moved a few cars of late....but they were as much an investment as they were for my enjoyment. So yeah.....go out, touch them, drive them polish them and if a sour neighbors says anything just turn and say: WHAT'S IN YOUR GARAGE
