Knuckleharley you are an inspiration. No prognosis is going to shut you down. I too enjoy your posts. Keep on keeping on as much as you can.

I use Merle's method too.

Very nice, thanks for sharing.

Around here someone would be using that as deer hunting stand.

You are a patient man. I have replaced many vehicles with much less aggravating issues very quickly. I can and do respect your perseverance. Hopefully you are good for a long time this time. -
I would probably pull the battery cables off until you get a chance to check it out. Hate to see it catch fire. If it is wired wrong (actually discharge vs charge) and something is creating that much current draw, it will make a lot of heat very quickly.

If it is a one way or check valve it is to prevent fuel taking the path of least resistance back to the fuel tank. Not a substitute for a fuel return line.

Been unseasonably warm. We had snow one day. About an inch and it didn't last. Enough rain since to clean the few roads that were salted. Not a big fan of winter either, but if it would stay like this run of weather I could get used to it.

I was wondering the same thing. Prayers for all involved. GM, Ford or Mopar, these old cars bring us together and make me feel connected to the folks who are connected to the cars.

Could you pull that broken front motor mount isolator out of there and run a couple bolts thru the mounts with nuts to hold it in place to stop the engine from twisting when you apply torque to your breaker bar?

64 degrees F here today. Great weather for December 16th. Got the old girl out and warmed her up, cycled fluids a bit. Just too nice a day not to.
-
I would run it knowing the history, but admittedly, I am a bit of a hack...........If it makes you feel better to replace go for it. The captured step idea makes sense to me as a reasonable solution.

May take a bit more than JB Weld before you can buff that out!??

Here are a couple references I copied over on the HAMB. Monroe shock dimensions.pdf Monroe_Shocks_Chart.pdf

If the car seemed to stop normally with one front wheel not braking at all, chances are good the other front wheel wasn't doing much either. I would be checking the cylinders on the other front wheel very closely too. With one front wheel braking and one not braking I would expect a significant pull to one side when braking. If all you had was rear braking, your new normal will feel much better. -
Welcome. Nice car.

I have done some parades. I find the system that works for my car is to keep the rpm level up a little bit and clutch disengaged as much as possible.

Turned out to be a beautiful day here in Central Pennsylvania. My wife and I took the '41 out for an hour or so. Here it is getting fueled up as we headed home. Last ride of the year? Maybe/maybe not. Funny story, at an earlier stop today a teenage boy came up and said "Cool car, that must be what, about a 1976?" I said 1941 Dodge, and he said "Was that the first year they even made a Dodge?" He was polite and even told me AutoZone probably won't have parts for it but I could try Google on the internet if I need anything. Made me feel really old!

I had the '41 out the other day. Wanted to turn it around and ended up with a short 10 minute drive. Sorry no picture, but I did get it turned around so I can access it easier in the garage this winter. I may get it out again before all the roads get salted.
-
Interested to hear how it works.
-
Very well said.
-
Happy Thanksgiving!

Look forward to your review.

I see the headline now: " Frosty morning prompts local man to attack gearing issue armed with clean wrenches and a pot of coffee!" Oh the horror! LOL, Happy Thanksgiving!

16 degrees F here this morning. Oil hot air heat doing it's thing. We have converted our wood burning fireplace to propane. Good backup heat source but try to use it a little each month just to verify operation if needed. The garage is also oil hot air but since I only heat it when I am in it, I usually just use a kerosene torpedo heater. Stay comfortable everyone!
