Will try that, if the new switch does not help my problem. As always thanks for the ideas...Greg

Will try a new switch and hope that helps before I get rear ended....

My brake lights work, but only if I stomp on it like no other. Most the time, just applying the brakes normally, do not light them up. Any ideas on how to fix this as a couple of people have gotten upset while following me. (New brake light switch, after market switch, ?.?) Thanks, Greg

Do you think adding some thickness to the lever on the starter would engage the pinion before hitting the starting switch?

Evening guys, I have an issue when starting. Sometimes when I push the starter pedal, it does not engage the flywheel and makes a grinding noise. Other times starts up just fine. Just had the starter rebuilt and did not fix the problem. Did the same thing with the 218, now have a 230 installed. Usually fixes itself it just push car forward or backwards a few inches.(12 volt) Any ideas? Pedal not pushing forward enough? Teeth ratio problem? Thanks, Greg

A lot of good suggestions guys...Thanks. Have to get the car back form these guys as they are sitting on it, now that I already paid in full. Again, thanks for all the suggestions, this website is amazing!

Thanks P.A. as usual for all the good advice, will check all those suggestions out.

Beautiful motor!! Think that is the route i'm going to try as soon as I get it home.

When I drove it home it over heated(212), so took it back. Now they say up around 190, but then coolant comes out the top when they shut it down. There is a thermostat in it. I'm to the point I'm going to go down get it, bring it home, and work on it myself. ERRRR!

I just had a 55 Dodge 230 put into my 40 Plymouth. The guys installing it say that there is flown the radiator and the water pump is working well, but still runs hot. Is it possible that the stock radiator is not enough for the bigger engine? Should I just buy a new aluminum radiator and see if that helps? They tell me its timed right. I'm getting the feeling this so called "hot rod shop" does not know what they are doing, and its pissing me off. Thats what I get for finally paying someone for something I should have done for myself. Thanks for any help getting her back on the road.

Thanks mack, love the rulers!!! Helps a lot.

Thanks guys, a lot of great ideas. Will put something together close with a few extra pieces of lumber to make adjustments when I get there. Thanks! HK: Hope to see your car someday at a show around DFW.

Thanks Don, I'll try it, should be close enough. Appreciate your time... Greg

Evening guys, I'm going to transport a engine with the transmission attached, and would like to build a stand to keep them upright in the back of the truck. I do not have the car currently, so I cannot get the measurements that way. Anyone have approximate dimensions of a wood stand I can build to transport the engine? If not guess I can lean it up against the side with a few bags of mulch. Thanks for any help and sorry for the silly question. Greg
