Hello everyone. New here and new to Mopar and new to Flathead motors. I just picked up this 1949 Chrysler Traveler. I understand it's a First Series so most of it is left over '48 stuff.
There are some things I will need to do with the car. My first concern is, the car falls flat in 3rd gear trying to ascend an incline. When I down shift into low gear, it sound like I'm revving the hell out of the motor. Somewhere along the line, someone installed an electric fuel pump. I'm wondering if the motor is starving for fuel when going up hill. Otherwise it drives fine. I was also considering putting back to a mechanical pump. The fuel pump seems readily available.
