old mopar fan

No unfortunatly the only ones close enough are my inlaws. They are great and wouldn't mind having it htere but I don't want to stretch the favors from them. We already have my wifes 72 Plymouth Scamp sitting on there front lawn forsale, I don't want to turn there yard into my junk storage.

Sorry Don mine does not have the jiffy jet

Thanks for the kind words Andy. And if anyone needs anything off of a 48 Dodge 4 door Please contact me soon. I am trying to keep this car from going to the crusher but am running short on time( about 2 weeks at the most).The only items I have sold are the visor and the motor. Plenty of good body parts tranny and interior parts.All parts are cheap I am not trying to make a ton of money I just hate the thought of junking any old car and I am just trying to make some of my money back. So again Please help me save this car or atleast some of it from the crusher. Anyone interested can email me at jeff.pierson@covidien.com or call me at cell (508)294-2143 home(508)947-4583 Thanks again Jeff

Thanks Ed I am keeping my wifes toy its a 72 Plymouth Scamp so me and the boy:D will have an old mopar to play with. And my daily driver is a 79 IH Scout II that I hope to pass on to him when he gets to be driving age. I am more bummed out that the car might end up being reborn as a toyota than I am to see it go. I will hate to see it go but if it goes to someone who can use it and enjoy it that would atleast make me feel better than just sending it to a junkyard. and if it comes down to me junking it I would gladly give you the motor out of it if you could get it shipped out there. The thought of junking any old car kills me.

Hi evryone I ask the moderaters to leave this here for a couple of days since there is more traffic in here than in the classifieds. I have 48 Dodge four door that I need to get rid of fast. My wife and I are having our first baby and are putting an addition on our house to make a second bedroom. I have no time space or money to do any thing with the car.There is no title so I am trying to sell it as a parts car. The engine runs great the brakes are frozen so I don't know how it drives. It is all original with very little rust through and is 100% complete the only thing missing is one knob on the dash. I am only asking 550 for it. Construction is scheduled to start 1st or 2nd week of june and if I still have it then I will be forced to send it to a junk yard which I do not want to do but have no choice. Please someone save it you can contact me by email at jeff.pierson@covidien.com or call me at (508) 294-2143. the car is located in Middleboro Ma. about 30-45 minutes north of Rhode Island. Thanks in advance Jeff

I think so to claybill from the link that teardrop gave me it looks like it the same part# for all the 39-50 Dodge and Plymouths

Thanks teardrop I think that aswered my question

79 International Scout II with 307,000 miles on it. It has been my daily driver since 97 when I got it with 48,000 miles on it.

Hi everyone I have a visor off a 48 Dodge that I am selling. The guy who wants it has a 41 plymouth. Does anyone know if it would fit his car? He lives in Australia and I don't want him to pay to have it shipped all that distance to find out it won't work for him. Thanks for the help Jeff

Thanks I thought the price seemed way too high. It is a 1948 Dodge D24 the carb is a Stromberg BXVD-3 and under that number is a smaller type number 382599. I have had the carb soaking in a can of carb cleaner for about a week so I can see the numbers and there is no guessing through the grime. thanks again Jeff

Hi guys i am in need of a carb rebuild kit and the onley one I could find locally is at a place that specializes in all old parts. They have one in stock for 103.00 dollars. Is this the normal price or should i try somwhere else? Anyoneknow where I can get one for a more resonable price. thanks Jeff

Thanks guys that helped alot and 48mirage that is the number on the side I was having a hard time figuring out if the last number was an 8 or a 3 and I gave the parts store the number with it ending in 8. I am going to call them and get the right rebuild kit. Thanks again you guys rock

Hi all I was trying to get a carb rebuild kit for my Dodge,its a 48, and I assumed it had a carter. But after a soak in the carb cleaner I found out it is a Stromberg. Is this original for my car and How do I tell what model I have? I did a search on here and a google search and all I could come up with is info on the 97's and it looks a little diferant than the one I have. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks Jeff

It looks like the 48 D24 in my drive way.

Horay it started and moved under its own power. My farther inlaw heard it crank the other day and got excited to hear it run so he came over this weekend and we decided to play around with it. A couple of weeks ago I bought a new battery and hooked it up to see what worked and what didn't work and just about every thig worked but no start. ( I haven't moved my tools to the new house yet so I was working with channel lock pliers and a 4 way screw driver) so I borrowed a meter from work and had 6v on one side of the coil and about 2.1v on the other side. So when dad inlaw came over he said that it probaly just had bad points so we poped of the dis. cap cleaned the points and then set the gap. We were going to pull the plugs but had no plug socket so we said what the hell and poored a little gas down the carb hit the start button and it fired with out a problem. It ran a little rough for the first couple of seconds and then smoothed right out. The choke stove was a little rusted up so we had to bring it off by hand but it warmed up idled smooth and moved a couple of feet with 3 flat tires and a front brake locked. Hopfully this weekend I can go play with the brakes and make run and drive after new tires. And to all who helped me with pointers and tips thank you
