    The vacuum booster on the fuel pump is designed to provide additional vacuum to the wipers to lessen the loss of vacuum on acceleration. Jim Yergin

    I am using Gabriel 81676 shocks. Jim Yergin

    Nice to see the progress. Thanks for the update. Jim Yergin

    My experience with my P12 is the same as Ed's. I was able to connect the original and it worked but it was very tight and I ended up replacing it with one for the overdrive transmission. Jim Yergin

    I had to remove material from the calipers to get my 15" original wheels to fit on an Explorer rear end with disc brakes. I have since gone with Explorer rear drums. Jim Yergin

    Purchased a container of cleaning solution specifically designed for clocks and watches that I found on line. I submerged the mechanism in the solution and let it sit there until clean. I then lubricated it with special clock oil. I also cleaned the contact points. Jim Yergin

    You are welcome. Glad to hear you solved the problem. Jim Yergin

    I would adjust the selector rod on the transmission. It is the one with the spring and the nut on it. Probably needs to be tightened. Jim Yergin

    Where is it located in a P-15? Jim Yergin

    Thanks for setting me straight. I guess I got the sizes and the remedy switched in my faulty memory. Jim Yergin

    I am not sure but I believe the P-15 clock is taller than the P-12 and that I have been told that to fit the P-15 clock in the P-12 dash you might be able to remove the trim piece shown at the bottom of the P-12 clock in the picture you posted. BTW, that picture sure looks like my dash and my clock in my P-12. Can you ask the seller of the P-15 clock to provide dimensions and compare it to the opening in your dash? Jim Yergin

    Terrific news Bob. Congratulations. Jim Yergin

    Lloyd, Here are pictures of my carb and the kick-down switch. I actually don't use it. I use a switch on the end of my shift lever. If you wanted to keep your carb, I would think you could do the same. You might want to call George Asche about the carb. Jim Yergin

    The carb on my 1941 P12 would not allow the installation of the kick-down switch when I installed an o/d transmission. I ended up using a carb from a P15 that I got from George Asche. Jim Yergin

    Jason, Glad to hear the car is running well. When nice weather returns we should try and get all of the local forum members together. Jim Yergin

    Looks great Bob. With my '41 woodie with O/D the road noise at 65 drowns out the creaking wood. Going 65 is not a problem, it is having decent brakes to stop from that speed is what I found important. Jim Yergin

    Joe, just one slight correction, my car is a '41 not a '49. Jim Yergin

    Yesterday, Joe Flanagan drove out from Alexandria, Virginia to my home in Warrenton, Virginia in his 1949 Plymouth. It was a real treat to see Joe's car back on the road after all these years and to get a chance to ride in it. Joe has done a great job on restoring what was a real wreck. I have a personal interest in it too since I donated the block Joe used to rebuild the engine. It was a fun morning riding in each other's cars and spending time with a really nice guy. Joe, thanks for coming out my way. Jim Yergin

    Congratulations Joe. That's great. After all that you have done you deserve it. Looking forward to seeing you and the car out at my place. Jim Yergin

    I found and fixed the problem. The ECI pivot bar I have in the car had become misaligned with the brake pedal pushrod keeping the pedal from moving freely all the way back to rest. Got it aligned and the pedal returns fine now. Jim Yergin

    It is a "kick down" switch that allows you to drop into the lower gear on your semi-automatic transmission without having to floor the accelerator pedal. Jim Yergin
  22. Jim Yergin
    Sounds like you have one of these. Jim Yergin
  23. Jim Yergin
    Thanks for all the suggestions. My return spring is there but maybe it has lost some strength. I will check it out. The thing is the pedal returns just about to the free play outer limit, just enough to keep the mechanical brake light switch on. Makes it easy to run down the battery if I don't remember when I stop and leave the car. Jim Yergin

    The brake pedal on my '41 Plymouth is not returning all the way back after I let up on the pedal. It comes back about 90% of the way and seems to "catch" and I have to pull it back the rest of the way. The brakes engage and release fine otherwise. Any suggestions I what I should be looking at?
