  1. I have a Langdon's 32/36 Weber on a rebuilt 230 1947 Dodge. Original fluid drive trans. Original rear end. Electric fuel pump. I'm very happy with it. I can cruise comfortably at 65, but rarely need to. Is it necessary for better performance?..not really Do you get better gas mileage?.. probably. For the price of finding a single barrel Carter BB that's not worn out might be comparable to the price of a new Weber. I'm not knowledgeable to argue the merits of double vs single. My car starts reliably. It idles smoothly. I don't need it warm up to drive. My 2 cents This may or may not help
  2. Ahh! Ah well. Still a good story ?
  3. Hey Merle That's an amazing story and the fact that you now own the car. Very cool! Looking forward to hearing more about car and maybe seeing you drive it down the road.
  4. The bell housing covers the fluid drive and clutch assembly. The main shaft of your transmission slides through the throw out bearing and fork, through the clutch assembly and into the fluiddrive/ flywheel. The transmission then bolts to the bell housing.
  5. Clutch and pressure plate assembly mounts to the back of the fluid drive unit.
  6. Crank mounted to fluiddrive assembly
  7. This may or may not help. The radiator support bolts to the frame and then the inner fender guards bolt to the radiator support. The radiator bolts to the holes circled.
  8. It will be interesting to hear from someone with knowledge. I've always hooked the leads up to the coil.
  9. I had a new mechanical and an electric fuel pump in succession set in my freshly rebuilt engine in my 47 sedan. Cruising the coast, heard a terrible metal crunch and the car died. Turned on the electric fuel pump and got myself home. This is what I found in the pan. I only run the electric fuel pump in this car now
  10. No photos of your axe throwing skills?
  11. You gonna go? It's a short cruise for you. I think I'm missing out. I'm not a member of the American truck historical society. Where have I been!? There will probably be some cool trucks there. Take some photos if you go
  12. Another great BBQ. Great to see everyone again. Sorry for the Irish goodbye, but I can't wait till noon for you bums to wake up. Safe travels to the Midwest boys. Brent and John, I hope you made it home safe. Thanks again Tim for another great BBQ. Here's a picture of the sunrise, since you missed it. ?
  13. It's a 218. https://www.t137.com/registry/help/otherengines/pengines.html
  14. Love it. I dig the outfit. You look like a young Chuck Norris, looking for an ass to kick. I love those bunny ear handle bars with the high mirrors.
  15. I see you've mastered the Napoleonic pose. Nice car. If I was to take a dirt nap, that would be the car I'd want to roll in.
  16. I love the Rockford files! I used to torture my wife watching it. I'm going to have to watch an episode tonight! ?

    There also some things I wish to forget.
  18. Not sure if someone posted this already. Fun to pick out the Chrysler products. https://youtu.be/YM5A4TamTzo
  19. Ennis Montana I didn't get to try the distillery. Next visit ?
  20. You mentioned bringing it home on a barge. Did you find the car in Stehekin? I've been to Lake Chelan a few times. It's beautiful up there.
  21. Another reason to visit the National Motorcycle Museum https://nationalmcmuseum.org/2016/07/29/plymouth-monster-and-bonneville-in-1935-one-mans-dream-for-the-worlds-fastest-motorcycle/
  22. I posted this picture earlier. Another member was trying to figure out what the springs he had in hand were used for. The picture posted are vibration dampener springs for a Chevy Corvette. I imagine they were a gimmick at the time.
  23. That's a nice, clean set-up. Which set-up did you use in the cab..floor, under the dash, or the original pull? I hope to see you and your truck at the picnic..I'm going to steal your design?. I look forward to seeing your progress.
