John Mesloh at T&C Restorations (http://www.tncrestorations.com/) was nice enough to help me out on this. Yesterday I received this in the mail. Jim Yergin

I converted a 218 to a 230 using 230 crank and connecting rods. The flywheel I used was for a 230. It was drilled for both a 9" clutch and a 10" clutch. It came out of a later model car and I had to change out the ring gear. I installed a 10" clutch and have not had any problems. Jim Yergin

Ed, Sorry you missed the point for my posting. While I am happy to know that your dad found a substitute for the relay, that knowledge does not tell me what he used, where to get it, or how to connect it. The site I posted provides that information. Whether or not you choose to install it within an original relay box is irrelevant. I happen to like it that way but that was not why I posted the site. I just thought someone would like to know where to buy a substitute, what part number to use, and how to wire it up. Jim Yergin

My overdrive relay stopped working. I searched the web and came across this site with a fix using a $7.00 relay from Radio Shack. I built one and it seems to work. I thought I would pass along the information in case it can be of use to someone else. http://www.studebakerparts.com/studebakerparts/store/s/html/pages/relay.html Jim Yergin

Bob, I forget what the difference was but I discovered there was one when by mistake I tried to install the emergency brake drum from a P23 non-O/D transmission on my O/D. Would not work. Jim Yergin

I don't know why the brakes would engage just sitting there at idle, but otherwise I would suspect that the relief port in the master cylinder is getting blocked. As you use the brakes the pressure remains unreleased and the brake stay engaged. I had that problem with my '41 Plymouth. The relief port was open but the travel on the master cylinder push rod was incorrect and would not clear the port. It also may be that the port became blocked when you rebuilt the master cylinder.

I don't think there is a four wheel package. You have to order a front wheel kit and a rear wheel kit. Jim Yergin

Congratulations on finding a better job. Glad to hear it. Jim Yergin

Just out of curosity I checked the 1936-1948 Plymouth parts book on Chet's site. It shows the same clutch release bearing for 1936 through 1948. Jim Yergin

Minor Victory after a Major Stupidity
Jim Yergin replied to Chester Brzostowski's topic in P15-D24 Forum
Chet, Thanks but no thanks. I have plenty already. Glad it worked out for you. Looking forward to seeing you in February when Chris returns for his car. Jim Yergin -
I removed mine without any heat. Just knocked it off. I heated the replacement ring gear in an oven and then installed it. Jim Yergin

Can George Asche help? Jim Yergin

I have a 230 in my '41 P12 and am using the original 201 bell housing and foot pedal starter. I did have to change the ring gear on the 230 flywheel because that flywheel was a later model and had a different teeth count. The ring gear is available from Vintage Power Wagons. If I can do it you know it can't be that difficult. You cannot use the 201 flywheel with the 230 block because the offset on the 201 flywheel is different and the starter will not reach the ring gear on the 230 block. Jim Yergin

Are you sure there are no markings? On mine they are very faint but there is a "4" impressed in the metal by one terminal and a "6" impressed by the other. Jim Yergin

I am looking for the turn signal actuating cam that would be installed on the steering wheel. The parts book calls it "Directional Signal Lamp Switch Release Fing'r" part #866923. It is listed for use in '41 Plymouths but I imagine not too many Plymouths left the factory with it. I believe it more likely would be found in a Chrysler or Desoto. I have done part number searches on the various suppliers' sites where I have found other Plymouth parts but no luck. Does anyone have any suggestions where else I might look? Thanks. Jim Yergin

Good eyesight. Actually it says "Sam" (our first born). Jim Yergin

Here's what I used. Jim Yergin

For what it is worth, the headlight terminal block on my '41 P12 Plymouth is in the engine compartment on the driver's side about midway on the inner fender wall. Jim Yergin

Joe, Sounds like you are trying to avoid re-build III. What, don't you believe that the third time is the charm? Good thing you checked the bearings. I can't imagine you are getting much done with this very cold weather we are having. I for one hate it. Jim Yergin

Take a look at what blueskies has on his web site: http://www.50plymouth.com/07-cha/cha.html Jim Yergin

Don, Just curious. Why was that the only movie taken with that camera? Jim Yergin

Saturday morning I drove my '41 woodie in the local Christmas parade. My entry was sponsored by our law firm and that is why the banner is on the rear of the car. Car ran great. Now it is time to drop the transmission and fix the O/D. Jim Yergin

Very nice. Looks good. Jim Yergin

I will be interested to learn what George finds wrong in the O/D. Jim Yergin
