I missed this on the first go round. Gotta get used to the slightly different format of this forum. Yep, bought a CD manual from Faxon the day I brought the Windsor home. http://www.faxonautoliterature.com/home_one.cfm I've bought a couple manuals from these guys. Its an exact copy of the factory manual without taking up the space. I print off pages as needed... have a copy on the server at work etc.

Thanks! The car is as solid as you can get except for the front floor needs some work.

And a couple pics of the car.

Don: Ahh... O rings.... Makes perfect sense. The petcock makes a lot of sense too. I'll have to get out my NPT taps. Greg: Got your PM! I'm thinking about doing the conversion, although I was looking at the Scarebird brackets. I believe they use a Ford rotor and a GM caliper with no changes to the spindles. Right now, I have to track down the problem and work from there. I think its the master cylinder, in which case, I may convert to a dual master cylinder. The one from ECI looks promising.

I'm in Marcellus. Neither car is up and running right now so I won't have any cars in the show. The Roadrunner is all apart and the Chrysler needs a little more attention and a brake pedal that doesn't go to the floor before it leaves the driveway. I'm looking through the photobucket right now!

Hi everybody, I'm new here. I recently bought a '53 Chrysler Windsor and I'm a little new to this. I've owned all sorts of sixties Mopar (have an A12 Roadrunner) but this is my first 50's vehicle. The car has a '50 Chrysler engine in it. It wasn't running when I bought it, some simple wiring and ignition issues had to be fixed, but now that I've gotten it to start, there is oil leaking badly near the base of the oil filter assembly. A little searching around shows me this is a full flow oil filter. I'm assuming there is a bad gasket between the filter assembly and the block. Any other possibilities? Before I take this apart, is there any source for a gasket? Or do I make one? Thanks!
