Help! Oil pressure dropping under acceleration
Jim Yergin replied to ActionGrant's topic in P15-D24 Forum
According to the master parts book on Chet's site, Joe is correct. Green is heavy duty, red is light duty and plain is standard duty. The same parts are listed for all years 1936-1948. Jim Yergin -
Greg, In checking my carb, I can see the small hole in the base you refer to. However, I do not see a corresponding hole or slot in the manifold. Should there be one or is the vacuum created solely from the space left open in the gasket? Jim Yergin

Welcome to the forum. I am just up the road from you in Warrenton. I have a '41 Plymouth woodie. Are you going to the Sully show in Chantilly on Father's Day? Jim Yergin

Very good. I misunderstood your situation. Good luck, I hope you get it straightened out. Jim Yergin

Joe, I think you said that your amp meter showed neither a charge nor a discharge. A faulty generator might explain a lack of charge but wouldn't the amp meter still show a discharge when you hooked up the headlight? Jim Yergin

Greg, The thread I show in my post just before yours is one of Lou's threads about his a/c. Jim Yergin

I have a '41 Plymouth wagon. For my top I used sail canvas I found at a sailmaker's supply store. It was the only material I could find wide enough to fit. I installed it using canvas pliers that artists use to mount canvas to a frame. I got the pliers at an art supply store. First I installed a muslin underlayment and then the canvas. Once installed I painted the canvas with fabric paint in a color that was close to what I found in a color ad from 1941. I then applied a waterproofing sealer for canvas that I found at a boat supply store. So far it has worked well for me. Here is a picture of my car. Jim Yergin

torque for cam bolts and timing cover bolts...
Jim Yergin replied to Powerhouse's topic in P15-D24 Forum
Here are some torque values from Motors Manual. Unfortunately it doesn't appear to have what you are looking for though. Jim Yergin -
Not by me. Sorry. Jim Yergin

Greg, Have you ever watched this film of the surrender ceremony? www.youtube.com/watch_popup Jim Yergin

I have a vintage 6 volt Sun tachometer in my car. I found it on eBay. It uses a transmitter that is mounted in my engine compartment. You just have to find a 6 cylinder, 6 volt transmitter because they also were made for 8 cylinders and also 12 volts. Jim Yergin

Interior and Exterior Parts for 1947 P15 Sp.Deluxe
Jim Yergin replied to 56 Crazy's topic in P15-D24 Forum
You might want to check the "Links" section on the main portion of this site. Click on "Return to P15-D24.com" in the upper left corner to find it. Jim Yergin -
I think the numbers may be different because the convertible dashes were painted body color while all the others were wood-grained. I believe the dashes will interchange. Will be interested to hear what you find out. Jim Yergin

Trees are not our old cars' best friend.....
Jim Yergin replied to BobT-47P15's topic in P15-D24 Forum
Bob, After your experience with the coupe, I would have thought you already knew all too well that trees are not your car's friend. Jim Yergin -
Moose, that's neat. Jim Yergin

Michael, This thread shows how I addressed the problem James Curl is referring to: http://www430.pair.com/p15d24/mopar_forum/showthread.php?t=8604&highlight=bushing Jim Yergin

Thank you very much for the information. Through the BESTgasket web site I found and ordered a neoprene replacement seal. I was hoping to make it to the second annual car show at my son's high school this Saturday. The first one was a lot of fun. While I hate having to wait even longer to get the car back on the road, for sure I do not want to have to take the engine out again to repair a leaky rear main seal. Jim Yergin

Joe, I will be interested in what you find. I have the same problem with mine. The idle adjustment screw is back all the way and not even touching. I tried but could not find a vacuum leak with the propane technique. Jim Yergin

I am reassembling my engine. It uses the rope type rear main oil seal. I could not find the replacement neoprene seals. I purchased the FelPro rope seal that is supposed to be for my block (a P23 block). The instructions say to press the rope into the groove and then cut the ends off even with the block and the sides of the cap. The pieces of rope seal that were in my set are not long enough to reach much less have any extra to cut off. I would say they are about 1/4 inch short on both ends of coming level with the block. Do I have a problem? Jim Yergin

Re-sleeving may be the best way to go. The actual wheel cylinders for '42's may be hard to find and/or very expensive since they seem to be the same as used in '41 not the more common ones used on the P15. The part nos appear to be: Right Front: 857156 Left Front: 857157 Right Rear: 857160 Left Rear: 857161 Collector's Auto Supply (http://www.collectorsautosupply.com/search/index.htm) shows listings for all of them except the left front one but very expensive ($190@). Len Dawson does not have them. Jim Yergin

Looks outstanding Joe. I guess you couldn't have asked for better painting weather this weekend. Jim Yergin
