Happy to help - love 25 miles south of you. Would even drive my p15 up to see you. I’ve seen that car on Craigslist for a while now. Looks like you got a nice one! -
Hebrew, but you’ll have to find someone else to translate.

How’s your coolant level? Notice any loss?
-
Proud to say, all good friends of mine!

Chris Paquin has them at Bernbaum.

Sound like you got a problem gub-na... remove, cleanse and reinstall. Or grab another of eBay and test.
-
Glad to see this. Hope it’s something that can be brought back to life.

From my experience in the north east, serial number is synonymous with “VIN”. I’ve only come across one yet that was registered with the motor number and that car was a 1940 p10.

The original rubbers were stapled to the steel in your photos.

The metal strips do indeed support a rubber fin that is meant to close the gap between the radiator and the hood. This purpose is to deflect the air coming via the grille thru the radiator and not up and over.

Interesting to learn this, I had assumed all the Motorola radios worked the same thru the 40’s.

Pull the silver caps off the buttons and dial in your station with the small dial under that cap. Then replace the silver cap.

I'm not 100% sure what Chrysler called it but this paint was a near 100% match for the steering wheel that I repaired and repainted. The wheel matched the column. I also just searched the paint color name on this forum and its been used a few time by others here. https://repaintsupply.com/sem-15023-cordovan-brown-color-coat-vinyl-paint-p996.html?utm_source=google-shopping&utm_medium=organic&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIsOHIkJ2n4AIVR1SGCh3VBAlZEAQYASABEgIlJvD_BwE

Thanks for the info guys. While I appreciate the value of the scans for portability, I think I will chase one of these vintage Carter Manuals. Will go good on the shelf with the rest of my collection of vintage Mopar service and reference manuals.

I'm looking for a resource that I suspect existed at one time, maybe still does? Specifically some sort of publication that describes the differences between the B+B Carter Carbs from the 30's -50's. Any one have any links to reference materials? Names of books I can search? Example: Would be nice to see something that gave basics for what the difference is between and D6G2 and D6H1. thanks in advance, Mark D

Shane is a good friend of mine. I've seen the car you bought up close a year or so ago, when it was with the prior owner also a friend I'd made out that way. All good people and I am sure you will have this car up and running in no time. Love to hear what your plans are for it and what progress you've made. Mark D

I believe it is Cordovan brown.
-
Yes, it’s called a tack strip and a modern equivalent is available. Just bought for my convertible top last year from a mail order. Search convertible roof tack strips.
-
Right-o bore and stroke are indeed different. But I’m curious as to any reference materials that might be out there explaining the differences in the 201, 218, and 230 blocks.

Last fall I bought a 1940 P10 business coupe. The owner claimed the car had the engine replaced sometime in the past and that the former engine was in the trunk. When I got the car home I removed said engine from the trunk and took these accompanying photos. These past sat few days I’ve been thinking about beginning my first engine rebuild and thought this block might make a good candidate. A couple questions for you guys in advance: - is this a P10 engine? The third character appears to be a letter I... - if this is a P10 201 engine can it be rebuilt as a 230? Thanks - Mark

Came across a bunch of photos posted on the Hudson Terraplane Facebook page the other day of a fella that built custom fit skirts for his car. The images tell a great story of how he made the skirts with his English wheel, bead roller, and expander/shrinker, and spot welder. He made a couple for his buddy's as well, but noted that they take so much time to produce there was no profit in it. Hope you enjoy the photos as much as I did.

My bet, the original post would have had more pics if he wasn’t trespassing to get them. Base your call on what you see, I base mine on the one that’s in my garage.
