Sure looks like a 46,47,48 Chrysler. This is a 47:

My old 49 Chrysler, long before I owned it, in Radium, B.C. 1956ish My cousins on the fenders

Looks like the banjo fittings are a viable solution to the space problem. Good luck with the rest of the installation...hope it's trouble-free for you, Don.

A friend at work a few yrs ago put a 3 cylinder Perkins diesel into his 1963 Chebby 4X4 one ton. What a beast that thing was but he built it to haul and it sure did do that. Hauled a 28 foot 5th wheel flatdeck like it wasn't even there. Lots of power and sounds great! The Brits send troops and equipment over to train at Suffield Base just south of here. They don't take the trucks back they just sell them here so quite a few kicking around after all these yrs

These guys had 3 windshields in stock for my 56 Nash Rambler, so they are no strangers to odd windshields. Cheap?? That ain't gonna happen I don't think. www.prosourceglassintl.com

I am on the email list for a local, busy, estate sale organizer They come in, catalog and price everything and have a well advertised 4 day sale. Email list members, however are allowed in 2 hours early on the first day. I've been to about 3 and got some good deals which the general public never saw. Do I feel guilty? Of course not

What models used the Moly Blocks?

Here's a 331 being rebuilt for a 40's big Dodge. There is a fairly detailed "blog" on the restoration process...Check the home page and scroll to the bottom. http://www.oldclassiccar.co.uk/dodge_rebuild/part11_engine.htm -
Don, I think they are full of dog-poop regarding their own products. This was posted on this forum but I can't remember whose it is Clearly shows outlets toward the middle of the car, quite accessible. Maybe send them this pic and ask them what's up??

Here's a direct link to some of Dorothea Lang's amazing photographs of the dustbowl. http://www.shorpy.com/dorothea-lange-photographs Click on "View Full Size" for some detail we seldom see in today's photographs. Quite a few old "motorhomes"

Pete, that's a real nice replacement for the Plymouth. It's a great idea to have the boys involved so they can learn about vehicles. Even if they never pursue cars as a hobby, they'll know what the "mechanic" is talking about when they are told the turbo encabulator needs replacing and it will be $2000. In the meantime, you know where they are if they are working on the Willys. Some of my best memories are of wrenching on old cars with my dad. Who gets his drivers license first?? Keep us up to date, or at least post a link every once in a while

I use FireFox as well.

Just tried it...no problems...worked fine.

I plan to offset the new V8/auto to the passenger side a bit for steering box clearance on the 49 Chrysler. The question is does the transmission tailshaft get that same offset, or would the engine get angled to place the trans tailshaft in the center of the car side to side?? I have the pinion angle figured out but the engine angle has me wondering. I'm leaning to offsetting the tailshaft. Thanks for any opinions on this

Randy I'm in a sort of similar situation. I don't mind doing the work, but it's a fight to get the owner to even meet me halfway. (I don't rent I work here...live in caregiver) Sometimes I wonder why I fight with them for the privilege of doing work to their house. Good luck with it.

Welcome back, Bob!

O/T, but relavant, dual master cyl question
PatS.... replied to buds truck's topic in Mopar Flathead Truck Forum
I have had brake failure over the years with dual pot equipped vehicles and in all cases I lost all the brakes. The theory behind the dual pot system does not match my real world experience. Not sure why it happened...in all cases they were not cars I had worked on at all!! -
M6 Governor, Interupter switch and carb for sale
PatS.... replied to PatS....'s topic in P15-D24 Forum
Thanks, Fred...I'll do that, although the PWHM is for 46-48 right? These are for the 49-54 M6. Seems to be very little interest in these very hard to find parts. Pat -
Looks like a decent kit, Don. What application or part number is the master cylinder you're using?? Looks like disc/drum m/c...are you going to incorporate a combination valve?

I have 2 sets of 6 "new" NOS 30 over pistons and rings if anyone's interested. Made in 1958.

For those with 49 and later fluid drive with the M6 semi-automatic, I have some hard to find essential parts for the transmission for sale. If your car is a keeper, these might be good to have on the shelf. Check out the for sale thread: http://www430.pair.com/p15d24/mopar_forum/showthread.php?t=22877

How about a set of those nifty magnetic lights that tow trucks use and stick them to the gravel pan/splash shield between the body and the bumper??? http://www.princessauto.com/truck-trailer/electrical/trailer-lighting/8002382-12v-towing-light-kit They are even available wireless
