Mine 230 is .030 over, I'm sure it was bored just to clean it up--runs fine, uses very little oil but HP probably not noticable
-
Great lookin' car---and you don't have to get new license plates
-
It was fun hanging out and scrapping knuckles with you Don. I love the sound of your 265
-
So is that the cork out of a White Wine bottle? Red Wine just wouldn't be appropriate.. BTW I agree, Necessity is a Mother
-
they are not spirol springs but stainless steel looking leaf springs--they are the same basic shape as the copper connector that goes from the pivot point to the coil connection
-
they are 15x5--I also looked at their Smoothies (keep the brake dust off of the whitewalls) but they only came in a 15x5.5" and I'm not sure if they would clear the calipers without hitting the fender in tight turns
-
I have the ECI conversion. The Wheels Vintique Hot Rod Rallye wheels work perfectly.
-
Yep, did exactly this "dumb" thing and it idled and ran fine--until about 45mph and then lost all power

Call George Asche in Venus Pa 814-354-2621. He is THE Guru for all thing overdrive

Hear you on the front seats-which is why I put these puppies in my Cranbrook

Mine runs well at 4 BTDC--the head has been shaved about .015-.020

I was a little surprised looking at the "Second Chance Garage" specs They have the Cylinder Head Torque listed at Lbs.Ft.: 90-95 My shop '52 shop manual says "65-70 ft-lbs" did the spec change for '53?
-
Rained a lot here in the Fort (Wayne) today---would have been a ton of snow if it were just 30 deg cooler Merry Christmas to All---and to all a good night
-
I've had my P23 with overdrive up to 88 mph (GPS) and still accelerating--but I "chickened out" before finding her max speed
-
For 51-52 plymouths it was called "Nile Green"
-
Thanks, they're Wheels Vintique Hot rod Rally with baby moons (2006 VW Mellow Yellow paint)

Earl, your car looks like it might be the first cousin of my car
-
Good thing I moved--I can't afford to live in that neighborhood
-
Not to mention the Illini
-
I have the smaller (1/2" head) flange bolts on my engine--I got them at Vintage Power wagon several years ago
-
Well there goes that theory
-
It appears that the Old Diamond Backs that have no checking are bias belts--mine are radials could that be the reason my checked at in the rim area? Also I did not have a garage when I lived in Port Townsend WA 2008-2012 so maybe that's part of the problem
-
See attached 2008 diamondbacks after 15,000 miles
-
I bought a pair of Diamond Backs in early 2008. I've used only scotch-brite and simple green to clean them. They have not yellowed or discolored at all but after 7 years and 15,000 miles they are checked. The checking started about 9 months ago--still look good at 10 ft.
