Shel, Good ideas, I was thinking about a way to check to see if the pump actually worked. It will be a day or so until the pump shows up so I can check those lines. Thanks, Eric

I was at an auction last week and they were selling Polish Sauges without any casing??? I asked the guy who made them what the point was. he didn't like the casing, I think it was the idea that they were intestines. I like the snap of natural casings. There is nothing worse than the hot dog without the casing. I've worked in a pork plant pulling intestines, not fun but they are tasty!! My Dad always talked about the Potatakor sp? (potatoe sausage)that my Grandmother made at christmas. I finally found some a few years back, pretty boring, I'll take Kilbasa over it. Eric

Claybill, thanks, I am hoping this solves my problem so I can move onto the next one!! I would like to drive the Car to The Good Guys in DesMoines. Thanks, Eric

I moved a 8 x 10 wood shed once 20 feet using round metal post jacks like you see in basements. I built up some planks on blocks and was going to roll it like the Egyptians to the new raised platform. It almost worked to well. I gave it a test push to see how it would move and it went flying. Luckily I had some sag in the planks so it slowed itself down right about where it was suppose to end up. Eric

Norm, I am going to check the line from the tank to the fuel pump. It is messy with a full tank disconecting the line from the tank. I was curious about the cap too, I put a rubber gasket that I got from Tim on it a few months back but I hear no whoosh when I removed it. I am going to take my air hose and blow through the line. I think my fuel pump pooped out on me, I ordered it at worse I will have a spare. Eric

I just ordered one from "Parts Train". It was about $10.00 more than Rock Auto. That is for the Airtex #588. Parts Train didn't offer the Bosch which is $103.00. Thanks, A day late and a dollar short as usual. I had to go through all of the common companies only to find thet don't carry the stuff! Again Thanks, Eric

Norm, Auto Zone showed the pump but listed as unavailable online ot in store Checker didn't show any and one had to choose a 48 Dodge as the closest car:( Strange. Eric

Thanks, Norm

I did a quick check with NAPA online, no mechanical pumps. The parts links here didn't show any that I could find. Thanks, Eric

Pete's and others over heating issues...
eric wissing replied to James_Douglas's topic in P15-D24 Forum
James that sounds like it would work. More oil and cooler oil has to help. An extreme measure would be to fabricate a larger oil pan. An air cooled Porsche911 has what ?12 qts or some ungodly amount. Eric -
I did install that. If I hadn't read about other people here on the forum losing it, I don't think I would have known it was even there. Eric
-
Norris that sounds exactly like what it was doing. I undid the gas line at the tank, flows fine. I pulled the line right before the carb and turned it over several times, nothing. I think I was lucky getting it home now because I have to really pump the pedal to get it to fire up now. I didn't do anything to the fuel pump but I am wondering if that is bad now? Maybe an obstruction somewhere between the tank and pump. I looked inside the carburator and float and the gas is very clean. Maybe I will get a pump, probably not a bad thing to have as a spare even if I am wrong here. Eric
-
James, I will check that. I let it sit for a week before sealing it and after sealing it another week before reinstalling it. This will really suck if that stuff is coming loose. Eric

"When I re-installed the t/stat today, the antifreeze looked nice in clean in the head. The underhood heat is quite hot, the heat riser is frozen closed, if it is closed in the cold position, would this not contribute to higher heat under the hood." I had that problem with my car. I blocked off the heat by pass because after a few miles the gas would boil out of my carb. This might add some more heat to your engine too. ( A guess on my part) Eric
-
I should add that when I sealed the tank I ended up blocking the flow but I drilled some holes into the internal fuel filter-pickup. I thought I had great flow after that. It starts up fine and could get up to speed with no problem. Eric
-
I had the tank cleaned and lined because of crap that was causing the float not to seal. The exhaust should be fine, muffler. All of the pipes from the manifold back are excellent. I thought it was strange that after a few blocks it would lose power but not die. I will have to try it again. I would push my foot down but no results?? Eric
-
Same gas cap, I actually took off the filter because it was mounted low right before the fuel pump and was next to impossible to get to. The brakes might be the issue I noticed it was pulling to the left. The tank is clean as a whistle. Hmm, always something!! Thanks, Eric
-
I got the tank back in my 48. Put about 2 gal.s in so I could drive to the gas station. After 3 blocks I had no get up and go, didn't seem to matter how much I stepped on the gas. It didn't want to die just wouldn't pick up speed. Filled it up and same thing all the way home at about 10 mph. I checked the throttle, seemed ok. It revved up in the driveway. I again drove a few blocks and the same thing. At first zipping around and then no power?? Eric

Pete, Hats off to you and Joseph. Eric

Duel duces. Here's a neophite question. With that much carburation, would a hotter cam be a must? Eric
-
Again another great looking Plymouth. Love the color. Eric

John, I like it. It is subtle. Never a big fan of too much flash.Eric
