Plymouthy Adams

Don..you be surprised at the number of water cooled bikes including two strokers...my 84 is water cooled also...one of my favorite items when two stroke running..Blendzoil (sp)...man does this stuff have a funky odor that lingers in the air forever...my Elsionore engines loved this stuff..

dad had a knucklehead back in the day...his was not cut up like this pictured one..had leather bags and all...real sharp...his brother rode an Indian..they hit each other in a curve in the mountains...both went over the hill...pretty messy I understand...

Got your tank back in............could you elaborate on why it was out and what was done to the tank while removed from the vehicle?

Tony...most of these I have seen are pretty crude in some regard to the size and placement of the fuse panel. I do however have one here that is new in the box and came with the 41 Dodge when I got it...however for my application it was not sufficient for all the modern devices my car has. The circuit panel has a very small foot print, caries 20 fuses, 21 circuits and has the flashers etc...the company name is it's a snap www.itsasnapwireandcable.com I probably will install this harness in my 48 Plymouth as I do not intend to dress it out as much as I have the 41 Dodge...I do like the smaller footprint of the item..install books looks great, wiring for both GM and Chrysler components drawings are included..price looks very reasonable .. Just returned from the shop...mine carries a zz20 part number....not sure how old this brochure is but it list the harness at 265.00 plus 100.00 instant rebate for 165.00 out the door price...

Greg..just got back in from a road trip...could not get on site very well..limited access to computer and the one I did get to was on dial-up...enough said there.!!! I looked at the shot of your crossmember...as it attaches to the side rails, only thing coming to mind at the moment, not clearly pictured is the 18-20 inches to the rear...concern here is the mounting of the master cylinder and if the newly positioned cross member is of the design to refit here and clear. Other than that the install is looking clean thus far...few more pictures would be great...

I think the dropping resistor you need goes by the name RUNTZ...check it out on the net....the voltage will surge at first turn on, allows fast spin up then adjusts the voltage..the motors can take this surge without a problem.

Norm..don't know about the hot air..but was talking to my stock broker yesterday..he advise me to "hold my water and pass my gas"

He's just scoping the place and checking your attitude..he is just waiting at the chance to use your place for a wild party when you go off...they don't call him rockin' Robin for nothing...

Mopar air is out there..you just need to get up to the right speed in order to compress it...

Thanks Norm...I have a couple of these radios about the place...have printed a copy..much obliged.

I have always had the silicone to set..have some that take quite a while sometimes..sure age does have a role in this...was the mixture when applied smooth or was it showing signs of chemical seperation? If there is sign of the mix seperating interally..chunk it...not worth the hassle to clean and re-do.

James..you are correct about the placement of the holes in the newer dual sockets..I found a bunch of pigtails at the local swap meet last year and these were drilled ever 90 degrees so all you had to do was index them....made upgrading a snap...you can find these most the time at the site where lots of automotive electrical is set on display, tape, lugs, fuses, lamps etc...They are not expensive at all. Just wired mine night before last...also quick connect water tight pigtails are recommended here also..makes for easy off and on...

I am sure he wants it for to complete the looks of the car...I will have mine installed but never to be used..Widow Makers one and all...

Georgia Cruise control...often used with those famous words, "HOLD MY BEER AND WATCH THIS"

Well Don and gang..hope you all meet up quick enough and have a great sit down meal...as for me..tonight I take wife two out to dinner..her B-day...you know the place Don...Mennonite Restuarant...

when you got up at 2AM..sure hope you were going home...who in their right mind gets up at that hour? Used to be my going to bed time. I am sure your's is a dry heat..until we got our rain and it got muggy humid...the temp was up but was very tolerable...however my grass is now green for really the first time this year...and the trees are not moving around chasing the dogs...

Put it on the Underhill's credit card...want the number? (Fletch)

I have a gut feeling the only thing going down between Coatney and Pete (aka blueskies) might be some hot wings and beer...(I'll place my money on Don if that is the case..)

No Dennis..not upset..just disappointed that they were even out there on line somewhere..I have nothing invested in the event...but I think I would be very disappointed to think I was going that far to see an event that has already been played out and end up as a mock show...can't speak for everyopne but for me it would be like I was getting ripped off...

have you tested the flexible lines for restrictions..seem the right brake is doing all the work..check for full flow on the left...

I have a feeling that for public safety they have unearthed the vehicle ahead of the crowd...going to be a lot of disappointed folks. The water, hate to see that but in reality it was a below ground vault..I do think I recall it is on a platform.maybe the only way it would be able to come out in one piece...I am upset in seeing pictures before the event...slap in the face to those who have invested in the adventure.

They do not have a wiring kit for that and they do not have the luxury of custom building one at a price they can offer that yuou could afford, the resitasnce issue is a cop out..go to the wire guage resistance table and see, 12 guage I think has an internal resistance of 1.56 ohms per 1000 feet...trust me..the resistance is not an issue..the fact that they don't have the kit and want to sell you an off the shelf one fit all is the driving point in their answer. Many upon many cars have their batteries in the trunk..however most aftermarket wiring is designed around an engine compartment install..my 66 car has the battery in the trunk from the factory..V8 etc etc.. For all practical purposes, build your own from donor cars...put you components where you want, easy access, easy replacement, use current model available parts that will be servicable years down the road..it is not hard..a wiring harness is just a bunch of individual circuits bundled and taped together breaking out at each componet for connection.
