Beautiful car. Welcome to the forum. Tod Fitch has a list he made up on his website. Look up Plymouth the first decade and it will pop up. The IPad will not let me copy the address to paste it here but it is easy to find. Another good suppler is Vintage Power Wagons for items that are shared between truck and cars. A few salvage yards like French Lake Auto Parts and Moores on South Dakota also are Mopar centric.

I hope everyone has had a great holiday so far and it just gets better from here on out.

ECI’s time and main purpose is getting you to buy their products. It is never a waste of time for a honest company to talk to a potential customer.

Drip rail?

Either those are giant wheels or the smallest rotors I have seen in a long time. What kind of stopping distance does it have?

He relocated shortly after posting that.

Except make the invoices for $5000 each and be sure your insurance has a good towing package. Oh, and get a couple of big drip pans for your garage floor.

You are discovering what everyone who drove a car knew 50 years ago and back knew. Something that is completely missing from modern cars. That cars, like people, have personalities. Likes and dislikes, demands and requests, to operate in any manner at all. The more you learn about your car and respect its needs the better it will run. And the more enjoyable your time with it will be.

Arcing the shoes to the drums makes them work better immediately by matching the entire shoe to its drum. Avoids the reduced braking until it works itself in.

Depending on what is in your car now it might with minimal effort . If you have a 23 inch block I have read moving the Radiator to in front of the crossmember is necessary for sure. I bet others have done it and will have more detailed information. Try doing a search and see what comes up.

Here in Illinois our EA plates turn into pumpkins on November 1st except for National Emergencies so I am packing as much as I can into this last week.

You can also contact Moores in I believe South Dakota. I bought a couple of things from them a while ago and had no problems. http://mooresautosalvage.com/

I have the Langdon Empi carburetor on my 52 which sits on an adapter that is somewhat tall. If the outside air temp is really high sometimes there is a momentary delay but usually not. I have more issue with my stock 80 Volare than the Cranbrook.

Although I have never built a complete engine from scratch I will suggest that unless you trust the machine shop completely be sure you check that all the oil and coolant passages are clean and clear. You might already know this and thus can safely ignore my post but I felt it needed to be said

I have had this happen. I took home a brand new battery from a major regional retailer a couple of years ago that was meant to replace one that died early. When I installed it was stone cold dead. I made them test the next one before I left the store.
