I have new bottom door weather strip for my 1936 plymouth coupe that I purchsed from Andy B's. The rubber strip measures 1 5/8" wide. The shape resembles the lower case letter "h". Not exactly sure how it should mount to bottom of door. I would appreciate any suggestions.

Dear Sir, I tried making my own jig to remove the steering wheel. It won't budge! I have tried all over to find the tool that you have pictures of. I come up empty. I am stumped at this point. I would be glad to send you a check to borrow your tool if possible. Please get back to me. Sincerely, Frank J Rizzo 5 Pembroke Dr. Jackson, N.J. 08527 Home 732-534-5027

Looking for an overdrive tranny from 1936 - 1939 plymouth

The ethanol in today's fuel is doing a number on my carb to intake gasket. Is there any material out there to make a gasket that is resistant to the ethanol?

I am starting a full body restoration on my 36 coupe. The car is remarkably solid, I pulled the door panels off and the inside has just very thin surface rust. I would like to wire brush this area and coat the inside door panel area. Do you think a por-15 or other coating that dosen't require complete stripping is a good choice?

My 36 steering box has about a 2'' play in the wheel. How do I go about this fix?

I adjusted my intake @ .008 and exhaust @.010 when engine was hot as per tech info. I still have ticking that I can hear from inside the car. I know loose is better than tight but the ticking is annoying. Should I go a bit tighter or look into new tappets?

After adjusting valves as per (valve tip info.section) I still get slight tapping. Should I go a little tighter on adjustment?

My 1936 three speed tranny leaks. How difficult is it to replace the seals?

The glove box door on my 1936 ply. does not stay closed. The tension is lost in the hinge. Does anyone know where I can find a replacement?

Not sure if I'm using the correct water pump. I have a 1950 ply block. The mounting suface for the water pump has 3 holes for the bolts that matches up fine. There is the "D" shape openning for the ditribution tube and also a 1 and1/2'' hole in the block. On the backing plate of the water pump is a small hole 1/4'' on the top portion of the 1and1/2'' block hole and another 3/8'' hole above the "D'' shape distribution tube hole. This 3/8''hole does not match up to anything on the block surface. Any feedback will help.

Anyone have an exhaust manifold with a working heat rise for a 50 flathead?
