Could be the pump. Could also be sucking air somewhere through a bad piece of fuel line. I had an issue with mine doing that years ago and it turned out to be some junk in the tank floating around and occasionally blocking the fuel pick up in the tank.

Good to hear! Nice to hear you do some parades. Great way to introduce the youngsters to old cars.

Tim, I agree with you. We always opted for Motor's when we could get them. They always seemed to be a little more thorough and easier to follow.

Was helping Dad with his '93 Chrysler tonight. Me, my dad, and my brother in his garage for a couple hours is our version of a family reunion. Anyway, as I was leaving, dad gave me two old manuals. These are like gold to me, dog-eared pages, scrap paper notes and all. It is like a family history. The Chilton's is a 1940 to 1953 and the Motor's is a 1935 to 1952. As you can see they are well used and dirty as any useful automotive literature should be. With the proper manual my dad can fix anything. He taught me the importance of researching an issue before I knew what research was.

Nice pics as always. I sure enjoy seeing the old Plymouth out and about.

Glad I could help! Keep us posted on your progress..........Tim

http://www.fordification.com/tech/rearends_ford05.htm Tag = WEB-H Used on = Comet '67-'69, Fairlane '67-'71, Montego '70-'71, Torino '71 Ratio = 2.75 Ring gear size = 9 in NL = open 28 = axle splines This is how the tag decodes. If the center section is in the original housing you should be able to use wheel cylinders for the above listed cars..........Tim

The Mopar 7-1/4 is a good piece. have one in my 69 Dart but beware lots of them are 5 on 4.25 bolt pattern.

Andy, I am certainly no expert on this, but from looking at Bernbaums site it appears there are two different gear/chain sets based on the year. 34 to 55 and 56 to 59. VPW also has two different ones but one set is marked for the 251 engine 60 and up. Now both picture gears that are grooved but it appears there are quite possibly 3 different sets as you suspect. The old set (34-55), the later set(56-59) and the latest big block set (60 and up). Unfortunately I have no idea which is which. Maybe the wide one is the big engine version and the groove / non-groove are the difference in the year sets? I don't know, LOL, and I hope this doesn't add to the confusion............Tim

Looking good Moose. That is a nice car.

Good video. As a young fellow I entered a demo derby once in a "65 Plymouth Belvedere. I finished second to a 67 Pontiac Bonneville that was bigger than a house, or so it seemed. For the next derby a local car dealer gave me a car, a Chevy to run with their name on it. I was playing around on the racetrack before the nights events and blew the thing up. Dang Chevy. Thus ended my derby driving career. LOL

Great pics RobertKB. I like the garaged pic. I need to get one of mine in the garage.

Test pic done with Photobucket. You're right, a caveman can do it!

Great pics as always Bob. My daughter and I had mine out for a ride today too. We got some sprinkles just as we got home, but no rain yet.

I like that Sport fury, Always had a soft spot for the mid sixties two door hardtop Mopars. The '64 Sport Fury is one on my "most wanted" list.

Looks really good. That is going to be a beauty. i took the liberty of resizing your photos so I could see them completely. I use Picasa, it is a free download and works good for this. Here they are.......

I think the Soul looks good, but what do I know, I like big butt Dodges too...

My kinda guy. There is no satisfaction like doing it yourself and you appear to be very skilled. Nice cars.

My daughter has an original Kindle and she loves it. I don't know anything about them other than she says she would like to have one called the "Nook" if she were to need a new one.

Kyle, I still have all those bars and the rear bumper guards. When I had the painted bumper on the front I had them on too. When I found the chrome bumper I didn't put them back on. I always figured someday I would get them chromed and I still might but I think I like it better without right now.

It isn't a Mopar but it is an old car. A guy that works for Hagerty Insurance in Michigan has committed to using a Model A as his daily driver for 365 days. he is on about day 30 and you can follow his adventure at this link http://www.365daysofa.com

Great pics! Looks like a neat place to visit.

If it is like the ones I have done on other Mopar drums it helps to have a third hand. What I have done is use two pair of channelock pliers. Put one set on the end of the cable and the other set farther up the spring. Hold the first pair steady and pull the other pair away from the first pair. At this time my assistant (usually my wife these days) slips the arm into the opening created. I've done them myself but you have to be lucky for the cable to stay rigid enough to work against. Hope this helps............Tim

Luckily, although it was very soft, it was also very dry soil under that roof. The underside of the car is exceptionally solid. No floor or frame work was required, other than cleaning and painting. The rocker panels were rough behind the running boards, but only the outer part. Believe it or not the muffler and exhaust pipe were shot but I am still using the tailpipe that was on it when I found it. The brake system was all shot too, with rusted lines and corroded up cylinders and master cylinder. The engine was locked up with a broken piston and the fluid drive drive coupling seal was bad, as soon as we turned the engine all the fluid ran out of the coupling. The car was complete, minus the dash clock, which I found one in a box of old stuff at Carlisle. The stainless trim was good but all the chrome was bad. We painted the chrome and have replaced it over the years with driver quality chrome as we find it reasonably priced. The only painted chrome I still want to replace is the rear bumper. I bought a spare to have rechromed, but haven't had the spare cash to have it done. (Kid in college) I would like to find one of driver quality since a newly chromed one may make the rest of the chrome look bad. I don't know that it will ever be "done". In a way I hope not as I would probably grow bored with it if it was. Does that make sense to anyone else?
