I decided to have the transmission oil analysis done by Blackstone Labs http://www.blackstone-labs.com/ as I was just interested in seeing what could be learned. I got good news and thought someone might benefit from seeing the report which I will redact and submit again tomorrow. [great point knucklehead] The process was really simple and did not upset my local post office. I found the staff friendly, helpful and informative. Howard

Folks, I have thrown away several sets of Coker's for various reasons. Call Diamond Back, talk to James. I have done business with them for years and have their tires on my 49 Special Deluxe with Beauty Rings...a few bucks per tire but makes all the difference, on my 36 F*rd and on my 55 Nomad, and those are custom redlines. Only use Simple Green for cleaning and spray that on a clean white terry cloth or micro fiber towel, not directly on the tire. I also suggest using one cloth per tire so you are not just moving dirt from one tire to another.

look between the starter mount and the lip Sorry, not good at uploading individual photos so I direct you to this album: https://picasaweb.google.com/105464848349468493648/Magoo#

Well maybe I have finally resolved my overdrive. The image is the section of wire running from the overdrive relay to the solenoid which was pinched between the bell housing and the firewall. It was a dead short to ground. Really looking forward to some trouble free driving.
-
yes, the ad is there...thanks.
-
If you get the plunger made please keep me in mind. I'm happy to share in the machine shop costs.
-
I'll check my NAPA store in the morning. Thanks -
Speedway and Chromeit both stock peep mirrors. Limeworks has peep "like"

Thanks so I'm ordering a gallon from 5th avenue (when ever they return the phone call). Appreciate the help.

Did you come up with a source for the plunger? I need one as well,

Anyone have a source for overdrive lockout switch?
Howard Tarnoff replied to rhelm1953's topic in P15-D24 Forum
Can you elaborate on running the overdrive without the lockout switch and what it may do to the engagement solenoid? Thanks! -
Congrats Don, if there is a spare 12 Volt overdrive solenoid in the trunk I would love to buy it. My 49 is off the road again, the hold winding is a dead short.
-
I have had my solenoid out and of course a good deal of oil has self drained from the transmission. Thinking if I were to change to a synthetic this would be the time to do so. Has anyone done so and what were the results? Any while I am asking (and yes I have searched) what is the total capacity of the transmission and overdrive. Thanks

I've had one set of Cookers only and tossed them within two years. I have had several sets of Diamond Backs in various cars and not on yellowing issue. Do not use whitewall cleaner. Spray Simple Green on a clean terry towel rag and wipe lightly at least once per month. I'm running Michelin Diamond Backs with Whitewall and Beauty Rings on my 49. Talk with Jim up there. He knows his stuff.

Thanks. We started with Silkens Mercedes 904 blue and kept playing with it until my wife liked it.

Give my regards to Tom Clancey. Miss the Alzheimer's Reunion since moving to FL. Yes, my 49 is fully sorted out.

We are leaving Daytona on the 8th and heading to Pigeon Forge, actually Sieverville, TN. This is our third yeard going to Shades of the Past. Anyone here attending? I will either bring the 49 Plymouth or 55 Nomad
-
Ordered one you posted from eBay. My local Advance was out of stock, all three of them. Thanks again.
-
Yes, exactly

I'm looking for a source for the "horse shoe" shaped clip for the ROUND ignition coil from Langdon. A supplier and part number would be very helpful. Found that a #14 wire was run from the ignition switch to the coil and a bung job - Crimp Clips and Silicone - was used. So much for paying someone to do these things. I tried search here and on google and get nothing.

Fat fingers on an iPhone. I'm really happy with my GA 2nd Gear.

And this is how we are dissipating heat from the coil. both sides are now vented.

Was rewired in 2008. Again, I had not been under the car in years. Nothing like that exists anywhere else
