See http://www.cascadepacificplymouth.org/510westphalswap.html Bob visits this forum every once in a while.

I think the casting date is on the block, possibly just below the distributor. Also, put a piece of paper over the engine code and use the side of a crayon to take a rubbing. You might be able to read it better that way.

You can also wrap a strong strap around the pulley and turn it that way.

Brake shoes with primary and secondary linings
jcmiller replied to mopar_earl's topic in P15-D24 Forum
The manual for 1936-42 Plymouths shows the longer lining on the front shoe. brakeSpecs.pdf -
Neat story: https://www.youtube.com/embed/qxCpK1W_Gjw

Are you using pieces from a donor car for the patches? Are you mig welding? Thx
-
That is a nice looking Satellite.
-
It's looking good. Thanks for the update. It gives me hope for one of mine.

I thought this was interesting so I figured I'd share it with the group. There is a '42 Plymouth for sale on Ebay that had been in storage for a long time. The current owner found what look like original tire-changing instructions pasted inside a hubcap. http://www.ebay.com/itm/231702487046?rmvSB=true

Thanks Bob. I'll keep that height issue in mind as I proceed. Perhaps it won't be a problem if I use the 1950 choke setup. Again, thanks for all the help and for the pictures. That first one cleared up another question I had about the fan. Mine is not symmetric and I wasn't sure if it was design or damage, but it appears to be design. Jeff

I've got the Carter 1 barrel. It came with the adapter, but the 1950 manifold has just the two holes. I've not checked to see if it fits yet. Fingers crossed. The manifold also lacks a second vacuum fitting. I think it does have the raised boss you mentioned. I really appreciate the info and the pics. I had some good pics of the other side of one of your engines, but not the manifold side.

Thank you both. From looking at the 46-48 manual, it looks like the booster brake was only used on the Crown Imperial, and not on the New Yorkers. For a 1946-48 New Yorker, would the hole in the manifold to supply vacuum be plugged, supply vacuum to something else, or not exist at all? This is a 1950 engine, but I want to make it as close to a 1946 as possible, even though I know the casting is a little different. I have to say, the 1946-48 manual, or at least the one I have, is not very helpful compared to the manual for my '42 Plymouth.

Is the device on the right an automatic choke? What is the function of the parts circled on the left? There is a rubber or plastic ball in the brass fitting between the tube and the manifold. Thanks, Jeff

Thanks, it's definitely a Rainier beer truck. I was interested in the maker. Sounds like Metro by IHC.
-
Anyone know what this is? thx.
-
Good idea. Found a good one, but it was too far away.
-
Good job. Keep posting.
-
I'm in Boise for a week. Anyone know of any good antique wrecking yards around here? Thx.
-
That's what I thought, but it never hurts to ask. Thx.
-
Is there a way to print an entire thread, including expanded views of embedded pics? I can print a thread, but the embedded pics are thumbnails. Thx. Jeff
-
Just be happy your transmission and carb are on the car! Mine are still in tubs in the garage.
-
Great thread! And timely. I just received an M5 and carb and was scratching my head. I also received a vacuum line that these pictures appear to show.

Feels like Christmas in July!

I think that might be a club coupe rather than a 3P coupe. I can't seem to find any photos of 1940 Chrysler business coupes, but the 1941s don't seem to have the rear quarter window.

Sure. Use the link above to go to website. Enter size, weight, locations in form. You get an email quote in 1-2 days. The quote includes the Fastenal store you take it to and pick it up from. You accept by faxing or emailing the form back. I had a lot of questions and they were all answered, usually within minutes. These parts were in rural Missouri but there was a Fastenal store 10 miles away. Seller packed up goods on a pallet in a pickup and took to store. Both stores had forklifts to load/unload. Shipping is enclosed and they said they never stack things on top of customer goods. You pay when you pick up.
