Tom, You don't have the extended warranty on injectors Find out which cylinder it is and do a compression check on that cylinder and the one next to it. DO NOT CLEAR THE CODE.... Also, how many miles are on it??? If all looks good, swap coil with another cylinder and see if the missfire moves. Did the coils come with new boots? If not replace all the boots. Also check and make sure no oil is leaking from the valve cover seals into the spark plug holes, they should be completly dry. FYI the computer will shut the injector down for that cylinder when it detects a missfire. If the missfire does NOT move when you move the coil its 1) harness problem 2) PCM driver or 3) low compression caused by a bad exhaust valve. let me know what you come up with. BTW if you unplug a coil to see if the cylinder drops, the PCM will turn that injector off to save your CATS, so you can't use that test on these vehicles. Works great on our flatheads though.

Is it a 32 valve 5.4L? They have problems with exhaust valve seat going bad. BIG $$$$$$$! Some have warranty extensions on injectors leaking, much more common. Send me the VIN and I will run it and see. I've seen these injectors take out a whole engine. Oh, by the way, you didn't put Bosch or split fire plugs in it when you changed the coils did you? Adam

Wow........ Back to the HAMB. A lot of GREAT info here but if it's not stock, not very friendly

My point was if I was going to rewire a car as the origional poster stated he was going to do, it would be FOOLISH not to convert it and not worry about it. IMHO. There is a reason vehicles are 12v now. OH and generators just plain SUCK

My Dodge was rewired by the previous owner. He did a pretty good job, but for the life of me I cant understand why someone would rewire a car and not convert it. I know people say 6v is ok but cars are 12v now for a reason. Running 6v makes everything electrical work twice as hard, therefore last half as long. 1/2 the voltage 2x the amps. I know I don't post to this site much but I've been doing this a loooong time so I know what I'm talking about. Moral of the story, if you gunna rear wire it DUMP THE GENERATOR AND CONVERT IT. Save yourself the headache. Adam P.S. Yes my grounds and terminals are clean but always chasing something electrical

But this weekend the weather is good and the car will be at Dream Machines in Half Moon Bay, CA Dream Machines This is a awesome event, everything from air planes to scooters, to old washing machines... ---- Looking foward to meeting some of you guys. I'll be there too with my 49 Dodge.

Just buy a set of punch stamps and restamp the frame. It's not that difficult, I restamped the frame of my 47 after I pro streeted it and the back frame rails were in the scrap bin. Mackster- Just get a VIN verification and make sure it hasn't been registered in 4 or 5 years. CA will drop it off the books and you only have to pay 3yrs or so??? of back reg.

WOW, hope it goes smoothly. I used a front steer, modified radiator support around the box. Radiator clears by 1/4 inch. Almost too close.

Nice looking car, Any pictures of the subframe. Just want to compare. Did you use a front steer or rear steer clip?

Hello all, Been lurking for a while now because I mostly do streetrods. I do enjoy reading about all the adventers with the flatheads. I enjoy it so much I bough a 49 Dodge completly stock. Did do some mods and I am enjoying it. Some quirks happened but still a solid ride. I am well aware how reliable these engines are. My 47 PLym was a basket case given to me because the P.O. said it was too far gone to be fixed. New floors, rockers, trunk, subrame, and HEMI, almost ready to go.

Hello, Lurker here with first post. Those heater cores are easy as I remember. I THINK you just need to pull the glove box out. At least that was the way I did it on my 86. Took about an hour.
