What kind of universal joints are on it? Any part numbers showing?

My puller has a slight point in the center. And I re-install the axle nut upside down (castles toward drum) with the flat of the nut even with the end of the axle.

World wide I am guessing the number of chopstick users is as large or larger than fork users. Its all relative. From the frame of reference of the cylinder, the crank (and car and world) are revolving and it is stationary.

Pretty much the same way you'd remove the rear brake drums on any Mopar car built before 1960 something. Since that was no help, here is how I removed mine to fix a rear wheel seal: http://www.ply33.com/Repair/axle_seal/

Or hackers have gotten your email from somewhere else and are sending fake FedEx emails to everyone they have an email address for. I've received fake FedEx emails and I've never had an account with FedEx (most shipping for me is by UPS). I also get fake emails from banks I've never done business with.

Looks like a PCV system to me. I thought that the Mopar militarty PCV system plumbing ran outboard from the manifolds but this routing, even if not stock, looks very good to me.

Or at least do a static pressure test: Basically fill with an incompressible fluid and then pressurize to twice the maximum working pressure.

I hope it makes sense but when I translate it back I get something I don't understand: "My car is eco sheen on the inside of the wings and the boot lid position."

I don't think the SF Bay has had vehicle ferries since the completion of the Bay and Golden Gate bridges in the 1930s. The commercial ferry route to "the Rock" is passenger only. I don't know what they do when they need to transport a vehicle to or from the place.

With a half decent battery you should be able to drive all day with a generator that is not charging. Not all night, but all day. Sputtering out after going around the block once or twice is most likely something different than the generator not charging.

This was a few years back but you did not specify how new the photo itself had to be.

On the '33 the brake light switch attaches to the master cylinder right where the brake lines attach. I just removed the switch and worked the pedal until I had fluid there to "prime the pump". Then remounted the switch and proceeded to bleed the system.

Definitely some 1950s and one or two that I thought might be a year or two newer than that, so "early 1950s" would be more accurate. Great video!

Main way to burn out a starter is to keep grinding it when the engine won't start for other reasons. They are not designed for continuous use. 15 seconds or so of cranking then let it cool down. Things that could keep an engine from starting in 15 seconds are legion. And I guess having a poor ground between the engine and the battery might be one (causing high resistance and thus slow turn over of the starter). But, in general, I'd say no, your battery ground probably had no effect on the life of the starter.

Thats what you get for "hot doggin' it" when driving in a snow storm. . .

You are in California, here is what the motor vehicle code says about that:

True, the finer the strands of copper the longer it will stand up to flexing and twisting. The stranded house wire you get at the big box home improvement stores probably won't last long. The stranded wire from an electronics supply will last longer, the wire in my steering column now is the same one I installed in the 1970s. That is a reasonable service life in my opinion.

If the cylinders are not pitted then you should just be able to clean them. Honing is to clean up the pits and it removes material making the bore larger. There is only so much oversize you can have before the cups won't seal. So I would not hone them unless they needed it and if they needed it I'd strongly consider new cylinders or sleeving.

I consider my car to be a "twenty footer". Drove it to the Portland Plymouth club national meet a few years ago, about 1700 miles round trip. Got it judged there and I think the rain occluded the judges vision as they awarded me a national first prize. So somebody (or actually a group of somebodies) thought my driver was good enough for national recognition. But now that I have that I'm not going to have it judged again. On the following Plymouth club national meets I've driven to I've put "do not judge" on it. You can have a show car that is driven but that is a lot of work to keep things up. A number of people I know restore their cars to show condition and show them. Once they get what ever prizes they were going for the start using it as a tour car and driver. When you think about it, that is not much different than anyone who buys a new car goes through: They take a show room perfect car and start driving it.

You might like the judging guidelines for the Concours d'LeMons. http://www.concoursdlemons.com When they started the rules specifically included and encouraged bribing the judges. They've become more successful and even have official sponsors now so maybe they've gone mainstream though.

You will have winter there with snow. There are lots of places on and around the Mogollon Rim area that are nice. A bunch of it is Apache reservation or national forest so I'm not sure how easy it is to buy land though. Alpine, almost at the New Mexico border, was a very nice place. Haven't been through there a long, long time but I suspect it would still be nice. About 1/3 of the state of Arizona is actually forested, but that 1/3 is part of the higher elevations where you will have a real winter. I was thinking more about the Phoenix and Tucson areas. Phoenix is trying its hardest to be a desert version of LA complete with a similar urban freeway system. Tucson is not far behind except that they've did not spend the money on freeways so all the surface streets are jammed with traffic. I was raised on what was at the time the far north edge of the Tucson metro area. The far north edge is now many, many miles further north.

Plymouth Owners Club deducts for non-original mechanicals including brakes. I believe the AACA does too. Both clubs allow seat belts if installed in a manner appropriate to the era/style of car. Both require safety glass windshields. Not sure about side glass. Both require original style tire construction (no radials on pre-radial cars). Plymouth Owners Club gives bonus points for period correct accessories, AACA deducts points for those same accessories unless factory. I've seen beautiful cars that got AACA first place but only got third in POC because of incorrect things that the AACA did not know about (carpet in drivers area, wrong firewall color, etc.). On the other hand, there are a number of cars I've seen that got POC first place which probably would not place at all at a AACA meet. On those cars everything was correct but condition was not quite up to what I consider AACA standards. Disclaimer: I've judged at POC meets. But I've only read about the AACA judging standards.

7000 RPM? That works out to about 135 MPH with my car's gearing. Does not seem to be a problem to me for my use of the car. By the way, Chrysler's top engineers did the same thing pre-WW1 when they worked for Studebaker. They determined that the then prevalent practice of using scoops on the rods did not work. Basically it just gouged troughs in the oil and did not scoop much oil into the rod bearings. So all the engines they designed from there on out had full pressure lubrication including all they designed for Chrysler Corporation. Carl Breer mentions his puzzlement on why other popular car brands (thinly veiled wording to mean Ford and especially Chevrolet) used splash feed for decades after his group had determined it was very bad practice.

Having been raised in Arizona and still visiting family there several times a year I can say that a whole lot of those "wide open spaces" that existed when I was a child have been "developed" over. Indian reservations and military training grounds are still pretty wide open but they are off limits to the average person buying land. I guess it all depends on how "wide open" your definition of "wide open spaces" is.

Is this a video for that? Pretty impressive for both the Range Rover and the truck. Given that people are still buying some manual transmission cars because they actually want to "drive" as opposed to simply go someplace, I suspect there will be some push back against banning non-autonomous vehicles from the road for many years after the autonomous cars actually appear in the dealer show rooms.
