    What are you trying to say? I used to ice race in the far distant past, although we did do wheel to wheel. I don’t ever remember doing 90 mph though, unless you count wheel spin.

    Back in the 70's before my wife's Grandfather gave up driving he and the Grandmother went out occasionally together. They were a team. He did not drive anywhere without her. She helped him watch traffic and they only went locally to the Dr. or a restaurant. Considering they were both in their 80's at the time they did pretty good. They stopped when he was about 85 or 86 as he said he no longer felt confident of not hurting someone else. Hopefully I will be as smart. I have known others who drove safely into their 90's and then my Dad quit when he was younger than I am now(70). You never know how long you can go on.

    Ran when parked.(Get it, Ran?)

    Well since the conversation has slid(?)a bit I will mention that on both my wife’s and daughters Kia Soul I put on a set of a relatively new tire design called All-Weather tires. These are by Nokian, whichI believe is a Finnish Corporation. Kia Souls with original tires ace about the worst snow and ice cars I have ever driven. Short wheelbase and light weight even with front wheel drive they sit and spin. And stopping, forgettaboutit. But changing the tires made a dramatic difference. Great traction and much better braking. Not cheap, one car was $750 and the other almost $700 but worth it.

    Well what I did on my Plymouth when I needed tires was to go to a local used tire seller and got four radials in good condition. I paid about $250 for then. Although not historically correct they have done the job well. Much better than the H78’s that were on there.

    https://www.worthpoint.com/worthopedia/vintage-gold-chrysler-award-tool-1-2-inch-torque https://board.moparts.org/ubbthreads/ubbthreads.php/topics/58648/1.html http://www.moparchat.com/forums/vintage-mopar-chat/96928-vintage-mopar-gold-tools-value.html In the 1960s, color filmstrips supplanted black and white, and larger-format reference books were used. The Gold Tool Award (with gold-anodized tools not really meant to be used) was launched in 1962. Chrysler field personnel took an active role in meeetings as change continued unabated: unit-body construction, PCV systems, the Slant Six and Valiant, and more.

    Could well be legit. Didn’t know and two factor here seems just silly at least for me.

    I expect mine only leaks while running and maybe a short time after parking. I do occasionally run it in the garage just cause if I haven’t had a chance to drive it for a couple of weeks. Still only a small amount

    As I arrived on site a minute ago a screen appeared asking me two set up two factor id for my account. It wanted to set up security questions for the safe operation of my account. It took a couple of try’s but it finally disappeared. Looked phony to me

    I noticed a leak on my 52 shortly after I bought it 18 years ago and did worry mostly about getting oil on the clutch disc. But the leak was small(never enough to show on the stick) and eventually I decided to heck with it and put a drip pan under the car. Don’t regret that choice at all

    Mine were so bent and twisted I just made my own

    Sigh, life.....
  13. plymouthcranbrook
    With the health annoyances I have had this summer I decided to have a local shop replace mine and so far(maybe 200 miles) doesn't seem to be leaking anymore at all.
  14. plymouthcranbrook
    No. I just did a Google search and that is one of the results. I read it and thought it might be worth your time to investigate. The thread mentions old Chrysler books that were used for that purpose. Maybe you can go on the HAMB and contact the poster to see if he has any further information. Good luck in your search

    This thread on The HAMB. Has some information regarding identifying Mopar Flathead engine parts by casting number. Might be helpful: https://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/threads/help-identifying-mopar-flathead-6-in-my-1936-dodge.1058541/

    I’ll have you know I use rubber gloves. No leak through if I trip and fall into a puddle

    Small engines were always my nemesis.

    You might talk to Jon at the Carburetor shop. I don't think there is much about carburetors he doesn't know. http://thecarburetorshop.com/

    Sign is in good shape.

    My Sisson worked well on my 52 but after starting things went south. When I put the Langdon set up on I also chose a manual for ease of installation. Starts with no issue and can open the choke almost fully immediately.

    Our fourteen year old Shepard mix has the usual Shepard problems with his hips. He has been on gabapentin for a Few years now. It seems to help him move better when added to the two arthritis(at least I think that is what they are. My daughter the Vet tech gets them through her Vet). He gets two 100mg tabs per day. After I reread my post I realized it could be taken a few ways. Only meant that it seems to be a good useful drug. Then if you want we can discuss my close and personal relationship with Tramadol.
  22. plymouthcranbrook
    And it works for dogs. Hope it helps you out.

    I remember having a difficult time when changing the rear mounts on my 52. No problems like you have had but a lot of push and pull. And that was long before I changed the clutch.
  24. plymouthcranbrook
    Brake clean? Put down a protective layer, spray off wires and clean residue. Then allow to dry completely before Starting car. That is my thought.

    So there must have been a lot of damage to shocks on the gravel roads. Even though I am old I never considered a need to protect car shocks.
