Thanks Andy, I have sourced a set from Antique Auto Parts in the states. Will I see you at the Chrysler Club Nationals in Griffith next year ? I am all booked in.

Is it right that all Chrysler SV6 from about 1938, have the same valve springs ? Thanks, Roger.

Be aware if swapping engines. Your Hydrive transmission needs a Hydrive compatible engine, because of the engine oil supply to the trans.

I have recently installed a heater in the DeSoto. I picked it up in a second hand shop. I bought a new brass heater tap, which is pull for on. I used the old choke cable to operate it. I had an old heater fan switch in my stash, it is off/on and variable fan speed. Works really well.

On the question of ice cubes in your wine. Use frozen grapes instead, they don't water the wine down.

Welcome to the Forum Bill. That's a very nice car. I am another Aussie in Vic, I drive a 1955 DeSoto. I am sure you will get plenty of the info from the members here.

Recently had my grandson lay some vinyl wrap on the car. Colour is Ivory. I reckon it looks great.

Flathead to Slant 6 distributor conversion...
Roger the Dodger replied to thrashingcows's topic in P15-D24 Forum
I did this conversion to a 1952 Dodge I used to own. Ran with the electronic dissy for about 2 years, then sold the car. I have since bought a 1955 DeSoto, and after having to pull the dissy to check the points I will be doing the conversion sooner rather than later. I have a slant electronic dissy and a spare flatty dissy. Also have a Bosch BIM024 controller, so will not need to spend a penny. -
Andy, it is a 1937 DeSoto S3 Coupe owned by a member of Chrysler Restorers Victoria. Roger.

Today I attended the Chrysler Restorers Foundation Day Lunch. Some of the cars there. And really nice work on the cake. 300Km round trip and the DeSoto ran great.

Took the DeSoto to the Bowls Club for the first time today. Got a lot of nice compliments about it. Then getting fuel after, the young bloke behind the counter said "nice car sir".

Andy, we get one copy of the mag' sent to our Club monthly, and I grabbed it. lol..I think we send one of ours to NSW as well. All the best Roger.

Hi Andy, I have known of you for years through Ozrodders (user name Ramp) and this Forum. I have the NSW mag with the article about you. I was talking to Editor John at Cowra 3 yrs ago and he was saying he wanted to open up the magazine to cars like yours. Glad he has. I even have a photo I took of your Brown sedan at Narrandera in the 70's. All the best, Roger.

Some photos of the DeSoto on our trip to Adelaide for the Chrysler Restorers National Rally last week. We did 1880Kms, no problems.

Fist drive with the new Permit plates. Drove to Church, but took the long way there and back through the hills.
