Not sure you are getting much for your money there. You still have to bend them yourself. He says easy to bend by hand but never mentions what material the lines are made of. I think I'll stick to the bulk lines from the store.

Me too Norm. I haven't been signing my name to any of my posts assuming everyone could see the signature. Hmmmmmm
-
Post a pick of your new truck when you get it. Thats the long WB 1ton right?
-
I looked and didn't see them. I didn't save the listing either. Ed

I haven't made quite as many posts as Norm but I've never lost a post that I was typing out. There may be some small disadvantages but they are nothing compared to the advantages for me. I can read at work and at home and wherever else for that matter and it keeps track for me of what I read. Plus you just hit the little error next to the subject line and it takes you right to wear you left off reading that topic. That should elliminate a lot of clicks right there. BTW I leave my self signed in on both work and home pc. Not sure why anyone wouldn't do that?

A month or so ago there was a set of 4 that didn't sell twice with an opening bid of 250.00. I think they were in CA somewhere.

Trucks used them longer. My 46 still has the firewall coil and it should have the clam shell wire holder too. Trucks used the foot pedal starter for a lot longer too.

I was kinda wondering myself what all the californians were talking about. Now here in MN its probably a little more helpful. The one in my truck doesn't use a spring-you were supposed to change it yourself. Its set to summer probably permanently now. My coupes is free but springless. Neither run well until they are warmed up a couple minutes. Who sells the springs? I believe thats all my coupe needs.

OT...Anyone had any dealing with Servicemaster?

She certainly does Norm but there's no telling her that! -

Its not just the elderly. My grandmas house needed wiring help bad. Between her and two of my moms siblings they hired a guy who did lots of work and didn't fix the problem. She still looses power in 1/2 her house. Oh but she's got ground fault outlets in the kitchen now....woohoo. Oh and the genius turned the fridge outlet into a GFI too. Norm what kind of windows did she get? -
Tod Its good to hear that part about the heat riser. The spring is broken on my coupes heat riser and the trucks don't have them. I really need to get mine fixed. In the spring and fall I have major choke issues with my truck and car. Guess I need to keep practicing on the adjusting part of it.

Dave I've got 215 85R16s on my truck too. They really do help with the top speed. The only issue I had was my truck got so much taller I had to adjust my garage door so the roof wouldn't scrape on the door!
-
Hmmm Bob that sounds good. Might have to try one!

Not a chemist but I've always heard the same thing. Water does the best cooling antifreeze is for anti-rust and freezing. Thats why you mix. My neighbor has a very hi-po 64 plymouth with a 440. The hi-po creates lots of heat so he runs only like 10% antifreeze just for corrosion protection but then he has to drain it every fall. He lives 5 houses down but I can always tell when its time to leave for the car show.

Anyone interested in owning a Ute
Young Ed replied to Mario Loya B1B's topic in Mopar Flathead Truck Forum
Its the 265CI inline 6 hemi head unique to Australia. 270HP with the 6pack option which was I believe triple weber side drafts. -
David there was one heck of a 57 Fury in the neighborhood when I was growing up. This was in the 80s. Low milage original car in perfect shape. The old guy that owned it had bought it new in 57. When I was maybe 12 he got in a small fender bender and sold it. Someone sure got a nice car. I'm torn between liking the 57 or 58 better. The 58 has a little better grill but then its beige instead so I guess I'd take either
-
Dang I forgot that I also wanted a 59-60 el camino! Ohoh I guess I have a top 6 now.

62 Chrysler 300 Convertible white with red interior 48 plymouth club coupe pretty much any mopar from 55-56 39-47 dodge pickup 78 little red express Guess I've got some of my bases covered as well. Or maybe they make the list because I already have them and enjoy them.

Don't let him discourage you from asking questions. Its totally not your fault it got out of hand. Ebay is open to all who choose to use it. I'm sure its not the first or last time someone lost an item to someone else.
-
I must say I am quite shocked to read something like that on this group. We usually get along. I know what Davids intentions are and I agree with him. I'm hoping he gets going quick so I can buy a dash from him. I know he's not hording parts. Way back he knew I was looking for a factory turn signal unit. He found one mislisted on ebay and instead of buying it and turning it around for a profit he sent me the link. Glovebox locks cant be that hard to find either. I have a couple extra without keys. Was going to give one to Mike Maker-has he found his way to the new group?
-
That's the one thing that really scares me about my storage place. In the spring they usually start everyones car to move around and let people out. The people doing it are pretty young-how many of them are going to know to push that pedal on the floor to start it?
-
I rebuilt both the ones in my coupe and pickup. Not hard to do at all-easier then a carb. The kits come from antique auto cellar. Ed

Dad had the pedals rebushed for his 40 plymouth. The machine shop redid them. Another thing to check. In my 46 the clutch pedal scrapped the metal floor. The noise was really annoying! I figured the bushing was bad but it turned out the pedal was bent! Little heat and a big pliers and no more noise.
-
I had to replace my oil pan so of course I needed a new gasket. It was a few bucks from napa. Wouldn't be too surprised if they have the rear end seal too. Ed

Joe you can certainly do either. I would not do both. The overdrive tranny is the exact same length as the standard 3spd. The extension housing is different to hold the OD parts. If you got a 3.54 or 3.23 you should be able to cruise on the freeway nicely. I have a 3.73 in my coupe and cruise about 60-65. In my truck I have a 3.90 with some really tall 16s and it goes about 60. Mine and dads OD cars with 3.90 rearends will go 65-70. Keep in mind unless you do other changes you will still have a 60 year old brake design that may not be enough at 75mph. Ed
