few golden truths in the above post..

unfortunately, my book will only give me the part numbers and brief description including lengths of the two remote shift cables needed when set up as right hand drive...you will need to source a repair manual for the export market for an exploded view...this view should be found in Section 19 of the exploded view of the parts breakdown manual. The RHD will have other special bracket, spring and spacer clips etc. We have a couple UK members and of course a few from down under that hopefully can share an exploded view edit note....cable is length for fluid drive, and length without fluid drive

more than not, the other switch is for the windshield washer...

yes

Brent, would not it have been easier just to put the hay in the silver truck and leave the other at home? ?

nice commercial drill press, this will out last you I am sure. As for the South Bend, I cannot see how I ever got things done about the home and shop without mine. Congrats for both items...

most trailer has 5 x 4.5 and if your dad had these on a valiant stock when they first come out...well, unheard of first years...even much later with the V8 going in a 5 x 4.5 A body rear axles pre-'73 are hard to come by....

these should be 5 x 4" pattern, and yes 13" rims.....just sold mine a month or so back....

I would bet a dollar against a donut it has never been rebuilt....and something you could do..your prime concern here is the points cam....if it is good...pop new bushes in and let the big dog eat.......worry about the vacuum advance later....

for the record, the mechanical advance if working is all you need for performance. The vacuum advance is there to promote economy as the low load at speed will allow the engine to lean out by advancing the timing....add the load back in the vacuum signal is lessened and the advance is retarded/returned to mechanical control. So other than a loss of a bit MPG you will not miss the vacuum advance.

the last modules were true 12...early..there is a question there and though I have one, I have not tested so cannot confirm and to be honest with you not much concerned as I have no use for 6 volts and could care less others opinion as this one is mine....lol Pertronix is not stable enough in my opinion and no OTC service with their line of products and worse than stock 6 volts based on that, again my opinion don't care what other think or do here. Langdon, many problems in the past with his stuff and that atrocious cap...care not for that....again my opinion. I see nothing wrong with point on a 6 volts system. I run them on 12 volts when and where they are of a model I can buy across the counter. No need to make things harder or reinvent the wheel. My last upgrade engine in the 48 does not even have a distributor. But in my opinion if I were going 12 volt with old school mechanicals, then the /6 dist upgrade is the only way to go.

feel your pain....we were hit Thursday when the third severe rain band passed through... I was awakened a minute of two before 4 AM shut down the computer....went to the kitchen and started to make a pot of coffee....lightening ran in on the phone line....heard the one in the kitchen go pop...burnt smell was most awful. Lost phone service, tested at the house connection box, nothing there. Called it in at 4:29 AM. Back up and running that evening but not after a second call as I did a follow up and had an extended window for service....bit upset with rural areas always taking a back seat to city folks. Figured I upset them as the line was disconnected on their end. 45 minutes later service truck in the driveway. Turns out, everyone lost service, many had their modems with side blow out. I am back up at 6 that same day, new service jacks in the house and whatever they had to do the line/drop. I did hit Wally World for new phones at 7AM as I knew their would be a run on phones. oh, 2.5 days....7 inches of rain...4 of them with the three bands Wednesday after noon to Thursday 4 AM....calm at 5:30 on....in that period was a few many tornado warning and out community siren fired twice with sightings...do not care for T-storms and winds...

your local big box store has online pricing also, shows if stocked, turn around and my one stores here gets orders twice daily from the hub....each store is a bit different....I hate to say it but the local I have an account at (set up so I would not have to stop what I am doing, pay for the special order in person at the store first) would get the part in but their counter folks today are so brain dead it is beyond belief and trying not to be gender biased but when you are more concerned over breaking a fake fingernail on a keyboard, well your priorities are out of whack toward the customer and the company needs better guidelines for 'work abilities and ethics'. The other store in town gives me better service, better quality of folks staffing and also orders in my part via a phone call and their site has better parts descriptions and in some cases, drawing with specs outlined. The third is just so out of line in prices it is my last choice for anything and the counter folks are helpful though...but one or two are cocky and not quite as up on the subject as they think. Their attitude is not the best to the walk in customer as they are the county selected store for the school bus and truck fleet they don't need walk in folks. It is often a chore seeking parts any more.

yes, I checked them out one time...once was enough to mark them as less than desirable retailers....same experience you posted....out of reason shipping.

many women go for that MRS degee right out of high school and bother not with anything but to play Mary from then on....women want everything from one man and man wants...well, let that one alone for now. Sometimes you have to cull one or two to get a good apple.

excellent....not every application is as successful....I am thankful we have an excellent staffed DMV here where I live, 25 miles to the north, a whole different ball game as they say. My friend got a bit of a run around with that office I do not think he would have gotten at this office. But...you can't truly say.

it is real easy to also click on your favorite browser, type in 1940 Plymouth radio hit enter, then select images.....host of returns

I had on one occasion to have need for the fire extinguisher. I was not the one to employ it however. I was working as a wrench for the local FLM dealership and was driving a Mark V in for a possible fuel leak campaign...my mistake, leaving the engine running when I opened the hood. The rough running combined with fuel leaking and the rush of air from lifting the hood, flash it went. Buy working next to me saved the day and the car by grabbing the extinguisher. Turns out there was a spark plug wire off and arcing along with the suspect fuel leak being actual. While there was little to no fire damage, the chemical residue was quite involved.

I agree with Sniper, counter a bit if you can....if they refuse, at least they are not in a position to fire you either. Layout and be ready to present to the boss what benefit it would be for you to be in their employment. Best wishes for improving your work environment.

a DKJ points out, install the seal, place cover onto engine...insert the hub onto the crank allowing the hub to now set the cover and seal centric. Now carefully snug down your cover bolts.

the later models used locks with longer stems...as are the stems on the door handles..could be from one of those. They look like ones I removed from a 50 Dodge

I am not aware of a modern sealed unit that will bolt on......the main nut has to remain in play as it adjusts total advance movement....cutting the line and slipping on a rubber hose is simple and effective and keep in mind the seat of the advance unit and the carb is set for ferrule use....if you search for a ferrule, a good seal is needed at the threads and you threads should be the same so not to damage the carb and distributor bases . Cut the tube with reasonable length you can slip the hose on up to the base nut and hide as much of the original as any replacement nipple will allow

never underestimate the Word of Dad

I had an audible version.....just charge the capacitor with the coil wire....set it on the counter, Ozzie would be sure to pick it up and if you heard him yell, it held and then discharged as it should. Well, it worked at least the first time I did this....he got gun shy right quick like.

added another tool to the inventory today...should have had this purchased long ago.... procrastinated a bit in hope I would find one at the swap meets.....no such luck so ordered in this Snap-On branded item....I am certain now that I have this, next swap meet I will be tripping over them.
