If you have a good 3:54 laying about..put it in...man will you see the difference in cruise speed at that same busy sound from the engine with the 4:+ ratio..just be sure the whine is not coming from a chasing police crusier
-
I can see their wisdom in that...they are renting a running car...that is an owners' expense..when you rent a car from Avis and it breaks down, who do you think ought to pay for the repair...you on the other hand provide insurance to protect them from loss due to you putting their property at risk.

I run my flathead Plymouth up to about 50 in first gear...of course I only have a two speed automatic and a 3:54 rear gear that is why I will leave this car stock. Still amazes me as to how smooth this thing runs. Back in the day you people would cringe at how the very car you are driving was rev'd and driven. These cars took some heavy abuse and are still ticking away.

I have never tried this myself but I tend to think it was covered here once before and was considered not a direct swap out...

I guess it could look that way to some people..it is the first reference I have ever hear though..

Trust me that horse was walking...

10..I knew there was two ways to look at the answer on the one I missed...one of them twisty types.

I'll see your "barn-find" and I'll raise you... (OT)

This is the type stuff dreams are made of..saw some really fine cars in there..even a Seven? -
After many dead ends and such I was at the point of sending an order to Restoration Specialties..still will but no in the hurry as I just got my flat head 5/16-24 screws coming in. We now have a fastener store in town..new...nice..lots of specialty stuff. Anyway..am asking what people used for antis-queak whre the fenders bolt to the body..this car did not use welting..41 Dodge..looked to be like a cloth type tape about 1 inch by just about 1/16 maybe a tad thicker...is this stuff like a tape or what? Is the FHL1116 in restoratino speciality catalog what I need...closest thing I have found..

Brad..sure glad you made it across the bridge..they don't play games there..I think it is still an automatic tow and that is not cheap... How you gonna sleep at night knowing that your car is somehow deceiving the geneal public with that faux radio scam...I'll have to send you one of my infamous "Geebo" anything for a dollar certificates. If you see PJ with the red Tiger..he should know about the certificate and also the drawing of him in his BMW..however I think he still gets a bit red about the face on that one. Bloodpressure is an awesome tool if you know what I mean.

What was the first year for 'fluid drive'?

without a google check am saying 39 -
Being a car and not truck..the battery as mentioned earlier shold be under the rear seat accessable by removing the seat bottom. I remember this from looking at the 40 DeSoto up the road from the house one day.

P15 windshield stainless moulding removal???
Plymouthy Adams replied to 47heaven's topic in P15-D24 Forum
They sure seem like they are glued after sitting in the sun for umpteem years. I carefully removed mine after breaking the seal between the stainless and the rubber with a dull putty knife..and even then it is still a trip getting it out... -
I cannot recall the measured difference between the 49/50 and the later 51/52 door where the bulge at the leading edge starts below the beltline molding but there is a huge difference..say over an inch..this I inspected years ago as I had a set of doors located for the burb but the difference was the bulge and one higher than the other. I did not investigate the door/dog house swap as an option so left it as a no-cigar kinda deal.
-
actually a 16 horse Briggs and Stratton is a very smooth engine.. First order of business would be to determine the fuel pressure..the rest is purely electronics...but without proper presure you deliverly during injection time may be low and sporatic at best.

Man knows a good piece of ash when he sees it...sorry...will sit out next three threads...

Don..I know it is an example of "because I can" but it ends there..unlike the Skelton bike..could not really see driving this thing about..I bet though at speed the engine has a gyro effect..what ya think...
-
Don't think so the 51/52 is wider across the cowl than the 40/50..the bulge at the doors are not on the same parallel...I contend that if the clip was changed..maybe the doors were also..I could not really see in the last picture the actual aligment along the door edge and front fender..cannot recall what was said about front doors but the rears interchange...the front were possibly the same size..just the bulge was different.

You can get a hand held u-joint tool for less than an arbor/floor press. If this be the only use you will have for the unit..not much worth it. I usually just use my bench vise.
-
you got a better picture of the door- front fender alignment? these will be unequal unless the doors were changed also..courious to see a picture of that area.

The only way to positive ground an ant is with your right heel on concrete..

With all due respect..that little bit by the gas pedal is your least concern those rivets patches may keep out a bit of air and water..but add nothing to integrity..those should be ripped out and correctly repaired...
