  1. I measured the overall length of the one I have at 19 3/4" ,ctr-ctr of outer ports at 16 5/8" .The intake in the ebay ad appeared to me to be longer...
  2. Pete,Thanks for the "heads up" on the Hemming's update - Don pegged it.
  3. I would question the application of the Edmunds Intake described in this ebay ad, although I rather like the air cleaners...This is what the length should be for a 25" block (my parts)
  4. Brian,I hope a resolution with Line X works out to your satisfaction. Nowadays customers seem to be all too willing to accept excuses for poor products and poor service...
  5. I took a couple of photos that may help you... - In the first photo from left to right, it reads 1 1/2 TON - 2 TON - DODGE - In the second photo, (rear of intake), ELLIS DUALPOWER MANIFOLDS - L.A. 23 CAL - PAT. D154886
  6. - Gotta keep planning and moving ahead ...
  7. ...Just watched this today,I liked Jay Leno's comment,"Imagine going to a car show and never having to detail your car."
  8. ..Nice collection of tools.. -sparks?-
  9. Verrry nice !...
  10. I found this wiring diagram on line,not sure if you've seen it. You can zoom in on the diagram. It shows the connections to your ammeter (U).
  11. Good advice,from someone who lives in the area..
  12. Although I've owned vehicles from other manufacturers over the years,the cars I miss the most from my youth were both Chrysler products...First was a '48 Dodge coupe and the second would be a '37 Chrysler coupe. I have replaced the Dodge and if I found a '37 Chrysler coupe in decent shape I would be tempted to buy it as well. To go off subject a bit,I've always had a love of cars,trucks and motorcycles.Coming of age in the fifties,vintage vehicles were plentiful and affordable and even with my limited income I was able to acquire a few.Where I lived at the time they could be found in very good condition and as others have expressed I wish I had been able to hang on to a couple of them. Anyhow,the interest for me continues to this day.I realize now I'm not bullet proof and my need for speed has been tempered somewhat -that said, although I enjoy driving the vintage cars at a somewhat leisurely speed,I still have a couple of motorcycles on the road... Still looking for that '37 Chrysler coupe .
  13. This is a photo of an IND 251 I have,(25" block),similar to what Don has shown, although not as clean. Length of the tube is 6 3/4",(exposed)...
  14. Enjoyed reading this ...I've been tagged with various nicknames -some less than complimentary - doesn't bother me. However, personally I tend to distance myself from whiners .
  15. ...Port - Starboard?
  16. Nicknames can be interpreted as somewhat friendly or insulting .I had a best bud in school who was 1st generation Italian ...AIthough I never did - he jokingly often referred to himself as a WOP .I remember him as a great guy.Depends on the relationship between individuals .imho
  17. ...Probably the closest I'll get to having an Airflow - I bought this at a 2nd hand / junque shop a few years back.I believe it came from a '37 Chrysler Airflow.Unfortunately the lens is cracked...
  18. From an article in Hemmings, re Chrysler Airflows..."The Airflow's body was developed in conjunction with engineers at the Edward G. Budd Manufacturing Co., and Budd eventually supplied many of the Airflow's stampings. To keep production costs in line, Airflows were designed to share many common major components, making parts swapping among cars possible to some degree today. No one is stamping out reproduction body panels for Airflows, so your best bet is to locate the best car you can find or hunt up a parts car. The flat sections of the Airflow's floors are made of wood, so restorers commonly replace rotted sections with 5/8-inch-thick marine-grade plywood, painted black, Librenjak said. Common areas for body rust include the rocker panels near the running boards, the rear trunk area (on cars with either the inboard or outboard trunk) and, occasionally, the lower cowl where the fenders and doors meet."...Supports Don's reference in post #2
  19. Thanks for the photos. The car looks great!
  20. "Grumpy",Heck - I have the coffee cup from my granddaughter. Nice to have a young willing hand to help out,hope you spark an interest in the hobby with Lumpy...
  21. Interesting Dodge. Thanks for the photos. Studebaker used a similar swinging light as a brake light in the mid thirties - vacuum operated. I believe they were available as an accessory called "Studebaker Wig-Wag"
  22. Hard to say what condition the car was in when the fellow began his project...I chuckled reading the comments.Thanks for posting the photos.
  23. Reg,Had a look at the photos.The car you're buying looks great.Have fun ..
  24. Wilf,You're welcome. Appears to be a "typo" in Bill Watson's info.- should read bore size was the same, stroke was changed for the 228 cu in. (see chart post # 6)
  25. Noticed this from another thread this morning - Some further info for you... http://p15-d24.com/topic/36924-engine-number-identification/
