  1. Sorry Tim, To hear of the disagreement with your neighbour, ("Good fences make good neighbours"). Probably at one time this proverb would be taken as apolitical.?
  2. This young lady appears to have the necessary skills... ?
  3. As fitted on my 36 DeSoto.
  4. Frank, Interesting subject. Thanks for posting.
  5. Re. rear bumpers - Note 6 I have a copy of WM4205 , "1940 Through 1948 Illustrated Passenger Car Parts List" (CHRYCO).The rear bumpers for the Dodge D25 And Plymouth P15 share the same part numbers... Parts referred to in Note A used on P15 - 9,659,838 to 9,660,704 and D25 - 9,751,206 to 9,751,864 inclusive, parts referred to in note B used on all others - Note "A" 954949 Face Bar 953809 Support Right 953810 Support Left 1064774 Buffer Plate 953834 Stone Deflector Note "B" 1118318 Face Bar 1115597 Support Right 1115598 Support Left 1123504 Buffer Plate 115483 Stone Deflector
  6. Maybe an alternate method?
  7. Seriously - and I hope without appearing to be sarcastic...this is July 1, not April 1st. I think at this point you should consider hiring a knowledgeable mechanic to help you out. LOL
  8. Check the ohms reading between the movable point(s) in the distributor and the plus terminal on the coil...
  9. Looks like you have solved your problem. Just a matter of further checking your ohms readings. I think it has already been mentioned ,the distributor points must both close and then open and if everything is in order,when they open is when the high voltage spark from the coil is generated and then via the distributor cap and the rotor is sent to the spark plugs...I'm a little slow - Merle said it first.?
  10. HT = high tension ,probably referring to your wire connection from center of coil to center of distributor
  11. Hickory, Nice work...
  12. There were some Hayes body Chrysler coupes in 1939.
  13. I've seen vintage brake alarm lights listed on ebay if you want period correct look. Rather than a light indication, on my 1948 Dodge D25, the car was fitted with a brake whistle. When delivered to the original owner, the cost was $1.75. It operates off manifold vacuum same as the wipers, works well and is foolproof. The whistle sounds kinda like a whistle fitted to one of those toy steam engines or a whistling kettle. I found another on ebay some years ago for my 48 Nash ,virtually the same thing ,not expensive, at the time around $20.00.
  14. Lucky your granddaughter was not hurt. To add to the existing distracted driver problem, here in Canada we are now looking forward to the use of mind numbing substances being legalized...hopefully without an increase in traffic accidents . Possibly looking to the future, fully automated vehicles may be safer on the highways.?
  15. I would use this solution . I might use hard solder, (silver solder), to anchor the stud.
  16. The proud owner of this Chrysler woody is also from BC...well traveled and I'm sure would love the opportunity to discuss the history and features of his car ..
  17. Nice car...Looks like he was packed and ready to head off to Pebble Beach. LOL
  18. The interest we share on this forum as per the name is not based on our political persuasion. Thanks to all of those who are keeping this in check .....
  19. As a matter of interest , referring to barrel type metal in- line fuel filters. I removed one from a vehicle I was working on, when I shook it kinda rattled- like a PCV valve. I cut it open and found the internal filter had become dislodged from the outlet end - the glue had let loose, obviously the filter was useless and wouldn't serve it's purpose , (It was labelled Made in China). I replaced it with a NAPA 3032 fuel filter that looks pretty much the same but is labelled as Made in USA. We'll see how this one lasts. Ethanol in the fuel may have been a factor in the failure or this part.
  20. Interesting the backgrounds and talents of forum members...a diverse group indeed, (in a good way) ...
  21. I took this photo of a set of points (Made in USA).Hope this helps...
  22. The fitting on the fuel line pictured in post #4 looks like it would be a correct fitting. The fuel line fitting in post #8 looks like an improper match, sort of like a distorted bubble flare.IMHO
  23. Well Knuckle, There is not one person on this forum who is not aging, some of us are more advanced in age than others. Nice that you are keeping active and I for one enjoy reading your input on this forum.
  24. I wasn't aware of that - kinda nautical, (left-port-red). LOL
  25. Sorry if my quote was misunderstood, I was referring to your reply.
