    The Nicson pictured is the one I have now, many thanks to George.

    In my 1936-1942 Plymouth service manual: Tighten all cap screws (bolts) or nuts in the sequence shown, drawing all cap screws or nuts down evenly, repeating until they are tight. A final tightening should be made on engines with cast iron heads when the engine has been run sufficiently long to bring all parts to operating temperature. For engines with aluminum heads, check the tension after the engine has been run and cooled and while it is still cool. Using a torque wrench, tighten cap screws to 65-70 foot pounds, nuts to 55-60 foot pounds. Hopefully you have a service manual to confirm this, also, to show the sequence, which is critical.

    I have a Nicson dual intake on my 23" motor.

    I would get the drums turned & have the new/relined shoes arced to the drums....numbered/marked for each drum. I agree, if you only had to use a rubber mallet, you got off easy, which means, if you ever have to remove the water distribution tube....you're going to work twice as hard.

    Where's the "dislike" button?

    If you flip the rear axle to the top of the leaf springs, you'll have to move the spring pads the bottom of the axle. If you're not going to carry anything heavy in the back, you might be able to get away with removing a couple leafs.

    That's even better, practically right in my backyard. Any route is fine with my, even surface streets.

    Thanks, I knew someone would find it...believe me, I entered that number in Google search and went through at least 10 pages without seeing Metro Weatherstrip. Now here comes the "did you try 'this or that' search engine" comments. **EDIT** Looked up the part# on their website, says it's 3/8" thick molded sponge. Mine has that part#, but is about 3/16" thick rubber. The picture shows a rectangle shape, but I realize some depictions are just generic. Here is their website: http://metrommp.com/

    I finally found a cowl vent gasket for my 1938 Plymouth with the correct shape. All the gaskets I've seen available (even advertised for '38 & earlier) are for '39 and later with 2 piece windshields that form a "V" at the cowl & along the windshield. For the 1 piece windshield ('38 & earlier), it is straight along this side and a "V' shape along the cowl. I found it on ebay & unfortunately, the seller does not recall where he got it or who made it. The only marking on it is RP 100-L. Others may be different?

    If anyone is heading down the 605, let me know and we can meet around the 5/605 or 105/605 park-n-ride and drive down together. Fedoragent, if your concerned about speed, we can cruise around 55MPH and on a Sunday morning, the freeway should be pretty open. If my 201 can do it, you guys should have no problem.

    If I put my hubcaps in the dishwasher, it'd be the first things I've put in there in months. How did they come out?

    Very nice car to start with and a great story. I don't know much about the 42's, but I imagine there aren't a lot of these around.
  14. deathbound
    Know the area well, worked on the new 22 story by the Spectrum. After the holidays, just about any weekend, Sat. or Sun. works for me.
  15. deathbound
    I'm sure it will be the same high quality workmanship as usual.

    Pertronix has a 6V positive conversion using your stock dizzy. Search "Pertronx" on here and you should get some good info.
  17. deathbound
    Sounds good. Maybe after the holidays, when things slow down a bit.
  18. deathbound
    Same here, using one in my 201, no issues in the 2 years it's been installed.

    My 11 year old son and I (52) own about 6 complete set-ups and about 20 decks....but we prefer transition over bombing hills. Me about 3 weeks ago.....

    Thanks, don't recall anyone giving me the 1 fingered wave.....usually the full hand or a thumbs up.
  21. deathbound
    Yes, but usually just stay in the "slow" lane or the next over to pass. I think people have a little more patience and respect, since it's an older car....if it was a modern vehicle traveling at the speed I normally do, it'd be a different story. 55-60 is a good cruising speed for my car.

    Must be one of the Smurf's girlfriend.

    Hit 70+ with my '38, 201 c.i. engine, stock 3 speed, I think 3.9 rear, original wheels, stock size bias plies.
  24. deathbound
    And with the weather we're having now, you should be able to hit the streets nearly every day......that is until the "supposed" El Nino hits.

    For the upper rod clip in the first pic, before you secure it to the rod, start the rod in the hole in the rod clip, then through the carb piece, then through the other hole in the rod clip, then swing it onto the rod to lock it in. Hope this makes sense, you can kind of see it in Don's pic of his linkage. The clip should "sandwich" the piece/lever on the carb....not on 1 side like shown on yours.
