Hello,
This may be pre-mature and I hope I came to the right place. I am very close to purchasing a 1934 Plymouth Model PE. 2 door coupe, While I do have 2 restorations under my belt ( both GM 1956 and 1964) this is my first experience with a pre war Chrysler product and a 6 volt positive ground system. I have to admit since I have reached the age of 70 I have became lazier and this vehicle is about 95% or better restored . I sought this vehicle because I am no longer able to do what I used to do, However I am not so Naïve to believe that a a 90 year old vehicle will not require something. That being said here are some questions for you vintage Mopar owners . Do you use lead additives in your fuel ? what oil do you use ? I live in central AZ. so viscosity will come in to play, it was suggested by the current owner to use petroleum based racing oil or similar due to its high zinc content. I also know that 6 volt systems rely heavily on good clean grounds. What do you guys do in the event that your 6 volt needs a jump and you are away from home ?
I hope I came to the right place for help and answers !
I look forward to being a active member. For 50 years I have dreamed of owning a vehicle with fat fenders and running boards and it looks like I'm one step away !!
Thanks any help, tips, suggestions or comments are welcome.
