I was looking at a possible gas mileage improvement. That and I have seen a number of threads that show the small chrome air cleaners as restrictive making it run rich. Looking at something besides just stacking the filters.

Wow $375 is more than I have in my carbs, intake and cold air intake. I guess you pay to have someone figure it out for you.

Well I looked through my favorites and found the thread about the IAT 4101 dizzy. Here is a link. Also yes it will fit in your engine at least it is in mine. http://olskoolrodz.com/forum/showthread.php?t=47895

I am going from memory but I seem to recall reading that the 4101 is the only model that you can still buy vacuum advances for. Ours are pretty old and the diaphram leaks on them fairly often. I would at least see what replacement units are availble for both before i made a purchase. Normally no vacuum advance was an industrial engine that ran at a set rpm at least on the newer flathead engines..

I am looking at using 3 inch aluminum pipe like the link below. It comes in alto of variety. I have the duct type hose as well but was worried about the turbulence from the ribs. That is what is in the pic above as well. I picked three inch as it should provide more than enough air as the carb bonnet had exactly that size and fed a larger engine with smaller carb bores. I drilled it out to fit the bb's bore and spacing. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Aluminum-Pipe-Joiner-Silicone-Hose-Adapter-3-X-3-Long-Turbo-T3-Intercooler-/200848433546?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&hash=item2ec37fe18a&vxp=mtr Moose It comes in allot of configurations. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Type-RS-S-RZ-BOV-Blow-Off-Turbo-Intercooler-Aluminum-Charge-Pipe-3-OD-/380588854181?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&hash=item589cdd0ba5&vxp=mtr

Thanks Ed I was wondering if I may have a missing part, but I guess not.

I haven't done a ram air system but I have been playing around with putting a cold air induction system on mine. Here is what I am looking at. Lets see a picture of what your setups look like. Al

I have nothing under my cowl vent at all. Was there anything like this on a 50 Plymouth? I do not see anything in my service manual or parts book. Is this an option with a heater?? Sorry not trying to derail the thread. Al

Rodney Depends on how you are trying to wire it. If you are placing it between the headlight switch and dimmer switch.The switch side would be wired to the headlight postion in which case you would only use one side of the relay with the "lights" side going to your dimmer. If you are wiring it after the dimmer then it would be hooked up as I said above.This keeps the fuses in line the way they are supposed to be. Hope this helps and keep the magic smoke in as always. Greg types faster I do believe.

A Friend of mine took this pic. Interesting snowflake in there.

Rodney The battery terminal on the starter relay works fine. His advice to use the terminal block that is on the front of the car in my opinion is golden. You already have a slit/splice in the wires you just move the high and low beams off of the junction block onto the switched side of your relay. Then move the wires going to your headlights onto the other side. Why add another splice in the wires? I would redo the ring terminals to ensure a good connection but this is a very simple setup done this way. This is all you need and wouldn't have a reason to work on the dimmer switch or cut into any other wires at the switch's unless your wiring is bad. No reason to add work especially where it is hard to get at in the future and creates another point of failure from corrosion. This comment "lastly he said that the switch terminal was to be connected at the light switch at the headlight position." I do not understand. Honestly if you go the way I outlined above you have working headlights already so I am going to ignore it. Greg has outlined the fog light wiring well so I hope you have good luck and let us know how it worked out. Al

Nice car.

Greg I agree with your post but I think the OP was referring to his lights receiving voltage that it was not designed for due a faulty regulator. With that said I would think for it to be noticable that they would burn out. I am not sure what the maximum voltage our old generators can put out but alot of cars do run 8 volts and report better lights. I do not have any cars I have done that with so I do not know. Al

Rich I looked at your Macungie or Das Awsgst Fest. They say no Street rods, street machines, custom/modified. Then below they say only race cars can be offloaded from trailers. Not sure I understand. Who is eligible? My car could be a custom/modified and a few others looking at this have the same changes on their cars. I have 4 wheel Disc brakes and dual carbs. Where is the line? Don you will be about 30 miles from DCurrent also. Al http://www.awkscht.com/info13.pdf

Brandon You have your email address in a number of threads asking for people to email you. You are followig it as well. Is the email received from the site not working or did you forget to check it when asked? Since posting you email leads to more spam why do it.

One thing to try is to look for them for sale and call the owners. They may be able to provide a tag number. Like this one. http://www.autozin.com/Dodge,29,model,1949-Dodge-Route-Van-Ambulance--McCook-,153834.html

Well since we are looking at it from all angles. Would the fog lights even require a relay? The switch is new, so not worn/corroded. Also I believe fog lights are standard sealed beams. With all new wiring and a relatively low draw why would a relay be necessary? Most put a relay in when they update to halogen (more draw) or just to bypass the resistance in the old worn headlight switch/wiring connections anyway. Just wire it so it works when the key is on only so it won't draw down the battery if they are left on and your done. One last comment. The case of his current solenoid acts as a ground for the relay so he will need to make sure that has a good ground, so that may play into location. Al

I think what you have will work fine for your low and high beams but no fog lights. Basically dual head is for the low and high beams. I used two relays to do just my head lights. Here is a wiring diagram. Just scroll to the bottom. http://www.mgexperie...relays_revb.pdf Hope this helps. It looks like your main power comes in on the side terminal. then low and high on the switch side from your dimmer. The other side would go to your low and high beam terminals on the headlight itself. You could wire your fog lights to come on under either high or low beam but that may blow the fuse with the added current.

I wish I had a tenth of the talent shown. True craftsman indeed.

I think you mean Chevy valves. That info is discussed here. http://mopar.pairserver.com/p15d24ph_forum/index.php?/topic/29665-stainless-steel-exhaust-valves/?hl=%2Bchevy+%2Bvalve#entry296413

Greg They have Jeeps over there. So that may work I used a Jeep grand Cherokee on my 50 Plymouth 4 door. Allot of trucks using them as well. http://mopar.pairserver.com/p15d24ph_forum/index.php?/topic/31502-rear-axle-swap/?hl=jeep http://mopar.pairserver.com/p15d24ph_forum/index.php?/topic/28976-rear-axle-97-wrangler-to-52-12-t-part-ii-perches/

You can look here as well. http://www.turnswitch.com/speakers.htm

True they can ask that, but may end in a famine.

Anyone ever notice how some rare parts are just that, a Feast or famine. Seen alot of aluminum online today. I will just leave it at that.
