First 2 numbers are the week. Second 2 numbers are the year. 11th week of 1993. Googled tire date decoder.

At one time I had considered doing the Cavalier conversion. After research I decided not to. Reasons. Having to adapt or replace steering column. Loss of turning radius, the rack doesn't turn the wheels as far. It is a doable conversion, but what I have is working. If it aint broke don't fix it.

Upgrading shocks in front end of 47 dodge deluxe
later replied to squirrelbrothers's topic in P15-D24 Forum
Went through my files and found the shock guide from Monroe. Once you know what size you need use the manual to find a comparable shock and use the part number for the parts store to cross reference. Shock_MountingLengthSheet.pdf- 9 replies

I'm concerned about that also. I am planning on running some schedule 40 pipe through the frame at the mounting points. Welding it in and cutting it square on each end close to the frame. After seeing your plates I may try and add them into the build.- 9 replies

The F1 shock mount relocates the upper mounting point from the upper control arm to the frame. I have not done mine yet. I have saved a photo of someones change for a reference and will post it here. Shock length will depend on compressed and extended travel between mounts. You will want more travel than what you measure to avoid bending the shock or mounting points. Hope this gives you some help. I believe Dodge had mounts like these on some of their trucks, don't remember the years.- 9 replies

My first series 1949 (same as 1948) has Spitfire cast in the head and is the original engine. If your block is a 25 inch there should be no problem with the swap. You may want to replace the water distribution tube in the head.

I don't know if this will help. I am doing an ECI disc conversion and have to get different rims to clear the calipers. You download the instructions from their site. I am replacing 11" drums. I have some 17" wheels from a 2002 Chrysler 300, but have to check offset yet. EC-758_Instructions.pdf EC-759_Instructions.pdf

Tech questions: windshield/gasket replacement and seat belt installation
later replied to JonathanC's topic in P15-D24 Forum
I've been checking out Moparmall for parts want list. They also have a 1 piece window gasket. Link follows. https://www.moparmall.com/MoPar-PN-848406-848407-848763-892190-893401-946017-p/yh-78865.htm -
I look at this and it seems that the generator is not in alignment. May be an illusion but the fan on the generator is at an angle with the water pump pulley. Just my opinion.

49 plymouth drum brake wheels don't fit disc brakes
later replied to 1949 p17's topic in P15-D24 Forum
I purchased my disc conversion from ECI. I got this info from their site. When I talked to them they told me that stock rims would not fit. Still in planning stages for changing brakes over next summer. I also got the manual master cylinder conversion. https://www.ecihotrodbrakes.com/catalog.html -

What ohm Runtz resistor is used with a conversion from 6 to 12 volts? -
Many years ago I purchased a packet on body info that may help. You can (with help) remove both fenders and grill as one unit to ease access to the motor bay. Hope this helps. Front clip removal and install.pdf
