    All 1950 NewYorkers came with Fluid drive and of course "Prestomatic" Hi-Lo 2 range 4 speed transmission, all came with the straight eight engine as standard .Power brakes were standard too. Bob

    Nice work!

    A couple close ups of the special carter #T109-70 vent or emulsion tube removal tool. Bob

    If you always set the points back at .020" stock timing will always be at the same mark TDC/2 degrees before ect. I would deal with the timing later if you have now found sooty fouled plugs-thats your problem for running rough it sounds like. Timing being off will cause sluggish starts and loss of power-Late/retarded where as early/over advanced will cause excessive spark knock under moderate load and resistance to crank over upon start up-spark occurs too early igniting fuel mixture before the piston comes up to TDC. Put some new pluygs in it. Good luck! Bob

    Some other ideas--..You might want to pull a plug wire with engine idling one at a time to see which cylinder or cylinders is weak/dead-The RPM wont drop off when you pull off the wire to the problem cylinder or cylinders. Look for a bad spark plug/vacumn hose off,stuck valve ect.. You should probably look at the plugs now and if they are black replace them don't clean them-they should be tan in color. Coil also could be carbon tracked- high tension tower to either primary stud-shows up usually under load. Compression test might also be called for . More than likely its plugs or points/condensor issue-simple things 1st!

    Make sure the little 2 distributor wires in the distributor are in good and tight condition. One is a ground wire and the other the 6 volt feed wire which commonly breaks or can ground out as the vacumn advance operates and flexes this wire. Also check the fuel supply-flex hose at fuel pump for cracking. If it now runs worse now after you adjusted the points I'd be pulling the distributor to more carefully look at it- point contacts and the wires ect.! Bob

    No apologies necessary at all-just take care of yourself. Keep posting advice too- -whether good or bad, right or wrong we all still like to read it from everyone!! Bob

    Lotsa cotton balls.

    Gas will dissolve RTV! . Gaskets on a carb should be assembled with no sealant. Check all mating sufaces for flatness before assembly. A piece of glass is good to check flatness. Bob

    Aren't the OE valve guides cast iron except on the big H-duty trucks W/ sodium exhaust valves- those guides being bronze? Bob

    I use California car covers also- top of the line versions-no problems and fit perfect but pricey too. Bob

    I believe most factory installed OD's starting in 52 had a different type of lower bell housing to support the extra weight of the OD trans. It was a cast iron lower cover that the lower 2 holes of the 6 holes on a OD attached to (Threaded into). That homemade mount looks kinda weak too! I don't think you need to install another auxillary mount to support the OD. It should be good to go with the way it is. Bob

    YEA!!!!!

    Looks to be a 2-1/2 tonner.

    It's for checking piston TDC or valve timing or even piston stroke.

    Big T/Sigs for a big boy Dodge! 4" lowers and 3" uppers.

    New complete 3 piece chain sets interchange between the 23" and 25" engines. I would not just replace a worn chain and put a new one on an old worn crank and cam gear. Bob

    Jim, I have reposted the crankshaft nut sizes/styles picture with the 1-11/16" hand crank nut included with the 1-13/16" nut too. I just didn't look through my crank nut selection well enough! Bob

    This thread needs to be TERMINATED- It's just too stupid!
