    Strange. My 49 it is in the rear. Sorry for the bad information / assumption.

    Follow the hydraulic brake line towards the rear axle and you will find it. No adjustment, just replace the switch or check for a poor connection.

    Intake type on the Hemi?

    Watching this one too. My 49 Wayfarer does not have a drivers lock

    EXCELLENT work as usual.

    Check out "50 Freak". He's on YouTube and Hamb, maybe even here. There are many more mostly on the Hamb but some here. In my opinion 3" block is already too much and I would not go to a 4". Scrub lines and wrapping on rear springs is multiplied many times with blocks. This comes from a person who lowers all his old cars. Poise makes a super slide spring with reversed eyes and a better ride that will start you at about 2" below stock (non sagging spring) height. Add a 2" block and you are about the safe limits of a leaf sprung car. Any more and go with a 4 link and bags.

    I never thought a long bell would fit without firewall surgery.

    Wow!!!! Wish I had your time and energy. Looks great and good for you for thinking out of the box

    The flywheel seems to be answered so on the the damper. My 49 didn't even come with a damper so I would leave it off. A worn or wrong damper will be far worse than none at all. I understand ma Mopar put them on some engines and not others. FWIW my 49 doesn't have an internal or external coolant bypass either FROM THE FACTORY and has suffered no ill effects??

    Maybe the grease in the trunion is hard as a rock. Since you have it out pull the tin covers off the ends, clean all the old stuff out and put new grease in the joints. I used cv joint grease on mine.

    Got a little more done today. Shortened the steering arms, put my new brakes together, put my new steering box and other goodies together. Feels good to start going through all those new parts that have been sitting for years.

    Couple more

    Well it's been a year or so, new career, 4 kids and another old mopar to drive around has kind of put the Plymouth on the back burner. I did lift the body back off the frame to finish weld everything, paint and assemble it. I work on it in the driveway by day and push it under the body at night. Wish I had a 2 car garage. Mocked up the new suspension and finished the front bumper brackets. Kind of goes in spirts

    Don't know what that coating was but now they come covered in a thin plastic. FWIW

    It's interesting watching all the purist clubs die off and the hot rod clubs grow. Hummmm...... Maybe they are taking notice. I have also been mistreated by the purist clubs so if they fizzle away it won't bother me a bit. Or maybe they will lower their noses a bit to survive.

    Put that pan back on and drive it....... I've let them sit longer than that.

    I put one on my fuel gauge only. It is said the guage doesn't know the difference and works on 6 or 12 volts. My clock doesn't know the difference either and has been working well for years now on 12 volts. I installed a later 12v heater motor but I used the 6v one on low for years with no issues. This was all on my 49. BTW the starter doesn't care either just don't grind on it too long. Don't forget the 12v coil and you are good. I would think the radio will be more unhappy about changing polarity than voltage.

    I am not sure on the actual Plym 3 speed but first gear is the lowest ratio on most transmissions. Even with the best compression it will bleed down, turn the engine until the next compression stroke comes up then that will bleed down............ That's why the car would move a little then stop and so on.

    Wire shorting inside steering shaft or contacts at steering wheel. Disconnect wire at bottom of steering colum and see if problem goes away.

    If it sonic tests ok, then why not. It's not the thickness but the possibility of core shift or rust from the water jackets.

    Made me spit my coffee up laughing.
  23. Adam H P15 D30
    Leaving my 47 out because the front bumper is 4" from the ground, my Dodge has a coil and a quarter cut from the front, 2" block in the rear and the small leaf spring removed on each side from the bottom of the pack = 3". Personal preference.

    FYI. None of those guides are correct for modified vehicles, Depends on which part of the country you live in, mods done, engine choice, quality of work. I just checked out of curiosity and I sold my last hotrod for more than twice what that "guide" said it was worth. It seems to detract for any mods. One man's opinion.

    Bingo..... Double check that boiling point. It is much lower than 212 at higher altitude.
