Horn doesn't blow, so I want to get at the inside of the works on steering wheel, but I can't pry off the hub cover. It won't budge. The service manual says, "pry the hub cover upwards". With what, a jackhammer? Help. Ed

What's a good deal on a 6 volt battery charger?

Thank you guys for all the info. Yes, my old Schumacher still works, and so I'll keep it. I'm curious about the name. It reads "WoodWard-Schumacher". When and why did they drop the name "WoodWard"? Ed

I have an old (30 plus years) Woodward-Schumacher 6/12 volt battery charger. It still seems to work, but I'd like to finally get a more modern dependable model for my 47 Plymouth. I went on e-bay, and there is a ton of Schumacker models ranging from about $25 to $100. Are those good deals? Or are there other brands that are better? Thanks for any info. Ed

Hey, I love all these back and forth comments. You get to learn a lot. Now, my question is: are the cowl mounted mirrors better, not only more stable since they're not on the door, but for vision? And are they 4 1/2 dia. or the more smaller 4 inch? Thanks, Ed
-
I'm curious. What is the special advantage of these swan neck mirrors. How are they attached that are different from the regular mirrors? Are they more secure and don't rattle around? I wouldn't mind replacing mine if I know there is a definite upgrade. Ed

yes, I finally got to the site. Thanks for the help. I didn't at first realize I had to click on my car to get there. I just looked at the general catalog which didn't show them. Thanks again, Ed
-
O.K., I'm going to try again. Thanks for the info. Ed
-
Hmm, something is amiss. I called Kanter and the guy says they don't have adjustable license plate frames. And their catalog doesn't show one either. I guess they stopped making them. Oh well, Ed
-
Little late replying. Been out of town. Thanks for the info. Will give them a ring. Ed

Are there any places out there that sell adjustable license plate frames at a reasonable price. Ebay has some, but seem expensive to me. My old 47 Plymouth sports two vintage Connecticut plates, size 6 by 9 1/4 inch. It'll be nice to have a frame around them. Ed
-
That's a fair price for that car in that condition, I think. I bought my 47 Plymouth for $3000, and spent another $3000 to get it in good running condition. Luckily for me, the body was in pretty good shape, just the mechanicals needed to be fixed. Ed

Talk about Jack and the Beanstalk. I started to get vertigo watching it. Wow. Hats off to those climbers.

HI Ho, Santa leading the charge. Merry Christmas fellow members. Ed

To tune up or not to tune up, that is the question.

Thank you, gentlemen, for all that info. I guess I'll go with that old adage, "If it ain't broke, don't fix it." Ed -
When should the old P-15 have a tune-up. When I got my 47 Plymouth 3 three years ago, I gave it a complete tune-up. Since then, driving about 20 miles a week, I've put on about 3,000 miles. Now, it still starts and runs beautifully. I hate to mess around with a good thing. What signs should I notice that a tune-up should be done? Thanks, Ed

How do these covers fit over a car with a fixed radio antenna sticking up from the side? Curious. Ed
-
Thanks Tim, I do have a battery tender hooked up. I'll see how it goes. If need be I'll hook up that on/off switch. Ed

I just got my clock back from the restorer for my 47 Plymouth. Runs nice. The care instructions that came with it said that the clock should be disconnected if the car isn't driven much. Have any of you people with clocks done this? I drive my car once a week for about 20 miles. Do you think I should disconnect it after each ride? That's a bit of a hassle. Ed
-
Piece of cake. Did the glove box removal first, and voila, easy to get at the fixture. Thanks, again, people for the advice. Ed
-
Thanks, guys, for both suggestions. Will try them out. Ed
-
I want to install a clock on my 47 Plymouth, but I can't get up there with the ash tray unit blocking the way. I took off the front screws on the front of the dash, but something is holding it in. If I can get that out of the way, it'll be easy to work above it. Help. Ed
-
On ebay, there's a person who does reproduction Mopar dash knobs. They look pretty good. Check it out. www.ebay.39-40-41-46-48-chrysler-desoto-dodge-plymouth-dash-knobs.

Moose, that extension you bought from Radio Shack. Did you alter it somehow, or just plugged it in? I went on their website, and came up with this Model 2752, called a "Home and vehicle adapter kit for Nintendo DS lite". And a "Enercell 6-volt vehicle adapter, Model 273-368". Thanks, Ed
-
yep, that sure looks like it. Ed
-
Swap the polarity. Sounds interesting. What exactly do I do to the charger to accomplish this? Ed
