  1. When using a dwell meter to set points how does the dwell angle correspond to the points gap? For example I think my dwell angle is 38 degrees. If it’s 30 do I increase or decrease the gap? I’ve always used a feeler gauge but I’m always willing to learn a better way.

  2. Is there an adjustment for the fast idle on a Stromberg BXVES carb? I’m at work so I don’t have my service manual available. I’m using a manual choke since the Sisson quit working. After letting it warm up this morning I couldn’t get it to kick down until I accelerated out of the driveway. Just wondering if something is sticking or I need to adjust something.

  3. The resistor is crucial if you have the gyromatic trans. I didn’t know that when I did the conversion on my 52 Coronet and the module burned up after starting the car 3 times. I’m back to points. I’ll do the extra maintenance for now. If you search the technical archive you will find threads on how to properly do the conversion with the gyromatic. 

  4. Having had to remove the carb from my 52 coronet I’m wondering what everyone is using to remove the nuts. Seems like an open end 9/16 wrench is the only option. A bit cumbersome especially on the side facing the head. Anybody have a homemade remedy?

  5. If he’s still in business try the Plymouth doctor. Some years back I got inner and outer rockers from him. I had a 49 D24 at the time. Same body as your Windsor. It’s not unusual to have a 49 that looks like a 46-48. Mopar extended the 48 model year until April of 49. Those cars are referred to as 1st series. I had a 48 Windsor in high school. Loved it. Good luck with your car.

  6. I’m confused. The choke assembly I bought at the swap meet seems to be opposite of mine. I wasn’t aware that there was more than one variation of these. When I say opposite I’m referring to the arm facing the opposite direction.
