    Please let us know how far the spring plate lowers the car. I suggested it but never have done it. Thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Same shape as my 49 Dodge but face is different? 49-52 Plym maybe????. But it would physically fit in my Dodge.

    Just measure the angle of the flange at the rear of the transmission. Then you match that angle on the pinion flange. /--------------------/

    Use a protractor to measure the angle of the engine and transmission (crankshaft angle). Make sure the pinion is set to the SAME angle. You can purchase shims that go between the spring and rear axle perches to change the angle.

    If a Hemi fits in my P15, a 440 will certainly fit. Not a bolt in deal but not rocket science.

    Beat you by 1 minute

    The sender probably doesn't care what voltage, but it must match the guage resistance to be accurate. If you are keeping the stock guages I would put the stock sender in and run a "runtz" voltage drop to the guage. Very easy to install. I bought mine at Speedway Motors for $15.00.

    Where did you get the radiator??? NICE RIDE!!!

    Well Said!!!

    Also make sure you NEVER have a flat tire

    Posie makes a rear spring that will lower it 2" or so. It's a Superslide so it might ride better also. Got a set on my 47 but I haven't finished it yet so I don't know how it will ride.

    Not to mention camber / caster angles as I'm sure the spindle does not come off the upright at 90degs. I cut 1 coil out but now I wish I moved the lower spring plate to the bottom of the control arm. I had my lower control arms "stepped" about 20 years ago on my 39 Plym. Only cost 175.00. Sure it is more now. I did have to make camber / caster adjustments after the coil was cut, but didn't when I had the lower control are stepped. FYI. Might not be enough camber adjustment available if the spring plate is lowered.

    Did you check it? Make sure the U bolts do not hang lower than the bead of your tire, or the bottom of the rim.

    I wish I followed this thread better. You were less than a mile from my house.

    I think the fuel pump is driven off the cam like most engines. Maybe a flat lobe for the pump??

    I'm not sure I even go 5-6 seconds, after 3 times it should start. I agree, that guy was a FOOL!!

    1- Fill tank and do the math (15g. tank I think) 2- check all grounds for sender (not sure if it's a 1 wire or 2) 3- remove sender and inspect float. Accessed through trunk floor 3- when sender is removed and grounded with jumper wire, move float arm throughout its range and see if fuel guage moves. 4- perform these and check back with results.

    472 / 500 Cad backed by a 700. Keep it all CADDI!!

    Looks good. Check your scrub line when you use blocks.

    If you end up needing a generator, I have one off my 49 that worked when removed but needs a rear bushing and brushes.... Free and good for parts. I live in San Bruno and work in Sunnyvale.
  21. Adam H P15 D30
    No, just look at it as necessary to free up space for steering linkage.
  22. Adam H P15 D30
    Just a thought........ Full fenderwell headers would leave you plenty of room
  23. Adam H P15 D30
    Sorry, I don't have any pictures and colum is out of the car. It literally sticks out 1" from the recessed firewall. Then I have 1 u joint going over to the frame, 1 support bearing, second u joint, then a third at the steering box. I have a 71 Firebird clip so the box is next to the radiator support, in front of the suspension. Believe it or not, the HEMI headers are about the same distance from the frame as SBC headers. Thinking back, you are running a stock box or another box in the stock location, My steering arrangement might not work for you?????? Not sure.
  24. Adam H P15 D30
    Maybe shorten it a little more. I shortened mine almost to the firewall, used 3 u-joints and a support bearing.
