  1. PepBoys don't have them. Went to my local CarQuest guy, and he had them. I know once I put them in, the car should start up more easily. Ed
  2. Thanks again, guys, for the info. NGK is the way to go. Now, to find a store that stocks them. Ed
  3. Greg is right. Car runs well, no smoking, pinging, etc. But I always seem to want to tweak things to make it better. I guess the old adage is true, "if it ain't broke, don't fix it." Ed
  4. Checked around other old car sites, and many agree that the NGK plugs are great. Question: the BR6S is a resistor plug, the B6S is not. For an old car, like my 47 Dodge, would the B6S plug be more appropriate? Ed
  5. OK, Thanks guys for the info. Live and learn. Will try that water in the carburator. Ed
  6. Silly question, I know. But can you clean the top of a piston thru the spark plug hole? I'm replacing my plugs, and it seemed like a good idea. Ed
  7. Why was my thinking off? I just asked what the best plug would be. No offense. Ed
  8. OK, people, thanks for all that info. Ed
  9. I'm thinking of changing the spark plugs on my 47 Dodge. After looking over previous threads on this subject, the consensus seems to favor the Autolite 306. What do you people think? And what about the cold and hot plugs? Should I make a decision on that? I drive mostly in the warm weather, (spring, summer, fall), but I do take the car out during winter occassionaly, if there's no snow. Ed
  10. Hi guys, great info on my cold starting problem. It just might be that it's not getting enough fuel. Would pumping the gas pedal a lot, help? That's what I've been doing. And how would that effect the automatic choke? I never could figure that out. I never really had a problem when I had my 47 Plymouth with the standard manual choke. Ed
  11. I gleaned over some previous threads on a 6 volt battery booster pack. And found them interesting. With the colder weather on us now, here in Connecticut, it takes a longer cranking time to start my 47 Dodge. Rather than bring out another 6 volt battery to assist the one in the car, can I use my 12 volt battery booster pack to start it, knowing to keep off all electrical units, and immediately disconnecting the pack from the battery? Ed
  12. Anyone know where I can obtain pictures of 40s Dodge sedans used as taxis? Ed
  13. Yes, I defintely will do the manual. Ed
  14. But I probably need a new voltage regulator, I guess. If it happens again, I'll buy one. Ed
