Is my battery hooked up backwards?
Plymouthy Adams replied to bartenderfloyd's topic in P15-D24 Forum
for the very low rpm's these engine operate the polarity of the coil is insignificant and the only difference one will see is the changing in opposite contact point of the metal transfer during normal wear...now if you were racing and operating way northward in the upper limits...another discussion entirely as for the heater motor, unless someone has changed it to a permanent magnet...its rotation is also unchanged.. -
everyone see faces and shapes in cloud formations, they recently cleared the power lines of limbs and brush given me this view, even more detailed in early morning light.....

as chasing threads already in place but needing dressing is a far cry from starting new threads in raw material.....I agree, the sensible and economical choice was the one you made....and given the rare use in the future...and as a chaser...will work time and again. I have found some of the overseas taps are worthless for new thread cuts...excellent dressers. Glad this worked out, my local sells quality taps and dies at a slightly better price than the one seller listed above. If special order, usually fills within 5-7 days.

depends on the polarity your charging system is flashed.. -
hey guy.....if it's yours and you're happy....I am not going to throw a wrench through your windshield....might cast a frown now and then....don't hate me for that...???

birds of a feather comes to mind except.....chebbies ruffle mine.....!!!!

I can hear Fussy right now...."alright Elder you were given two eyes and two ears as both are twice as important than talking, unless you are eating, keep that pie hole shut...!" ?

hog head may have tripped you up.....look to the carrier same location for said numbers.....just for giggles...go to the pictures you posted above where the drum is leaning on the rear backing plate showing the full length of the axle...study that a minute...does anything in that picture resemble a hog's head? lots of luck on your project...have fun, remember, having fun is what this hobby is all about....

I am not so sure that data was ever recorded unless someone at the historical society took the time to decipher each build card.
-
not familiar with the dodge books, often they show less than the Plymouth books....Plymouth factory manual has said data printed just prior to first page on rear axle. Odds are you are running a 3.9 and you should be able to verify this by cleaning the very top center of the hoghead where it butts up to the banjo...you may see 3.9 or two numbers....one will be pinion count, other the ring count....divide the smaller into the larger and get the ratio...depending on your terrain and manner of driving...one would best study his driving needs/habits before buying a gear that may well leave you with that FLAT feeling when driving...
-
It appears that axle is removed from the car...did you measure and record the pinion angle at curb weight...who is to cut, transfer and weld the perches or if you buy new ones same process just less the cut. The angle can still be accomplished out of the vehicle based on your perch position....suggest you do record than data now. Whatever axle you choose will need to mimic these specs.

there are a number of good article with pictures and drawings on the internet that are easy to find, full of information and would bring you up to speed on your proposed task real quick. they are a good investment of time if you are new at all this and can save you money and time and prevent possible errors..number of items go into swapping out a rear axle...none of it is hard....many may require a bit of investment in other areas to make them work once installed....driveshaft is one of the added larger expenses some times.
-
they even less serious about their mods to the chassis when grafting subframes and the sort into play.....I have seen some cars that I felt if they ever got wet the very rust on them would dissolve and prove to be the very item that kept them in one piece...Fatman uprights are fabricated from new metal...not cut and welded old stock...I own two sets and I find no fault in them. I also am not from Hazard County and go by the name of Bo....

back when in the work environment, we called this 'lip service' it would be nice to see some teeth marks now and then -
sometimes I think there is even more love and devotion put into the little foreign sport cars than any American make and model. As owner of many different models and some 20+ foreign cars of different countries....I find these cars the better thrill when driving....not due to be being fast or anything like that, just the manner they handle. They are quite the pleasure to own for the most part is my finding.

the business lost that personal touch where the owner knew the customer and loyalty was part of the game....fuel credit cards kept the stations afloat...pumping gas during a price war was interesting....17 cents a gallon.....we need a roll-back on this....

I agree with you.....even phone marketers are now using a local number and I have even had them use both name and number of my doctor in order to slip a call past my anti-spam screening....would anyone with any sense deal with a person stooping this low? YES, they are in my opinion that stupid. Cut a couple pictures last night of Don and some of the older gang here at my house years ago. Don was a good friend, miss talking with him. Contacted a couple of the other members just to keep in touch. -
I did my stint at the local Texaco after school and a summer or so....thought it was fun for the most part, full service back then....

I have started my composting/manure mixing and the aeration of my 50 garden buckets....I have 22 complete and picked the remaining material for to finish the remaining 28. Thanks goodness I have no sky-rats in my area. The buckets have proved to work out great against furry munchers and diggers and give me optimum use of my water. Won't be that very much longer till panting will be upon us.

or maybe even a chevy forum.....I have no heartache with you using brand x but in truth your questions would be best answered on their forum...
-
enjoy the hobby......stay active on the forum.....before you kick off...sell the cars and leave the heirs a picture.....especially one of you enjoying the proceeds from the sale......?

I moved to the area I am in now some 26 years and have not seen the first ice cream truck yet.....even before I moved, the trucks were on the decline as they moved to the larger and newer housing areas I believe...the older homes were full of grandparents at this time. Economics play at every level
-
Frank...I have seen carboned up engines that would not turn over with the carbon fallen from the combustion chamber and down on the piston after sitting, getting damp drying out and then flaking off and down...simple pull the head, decoke....new gasket and many miles and smiles down the road....a piston, if more than one car cut rust to a certain degree then bind up again....seen this many times also. Would I suspect a bent rod...only if the lever used was quite long....would I suspect rust and frozen valves....you bet your sweet bippy I do...

remember when your mom told you that if you heard the music it meant they were sold out......?
