  1. Yes same goes for high end GM cars. Cadillac dropped filters after introduction of hydraulic lifter in 1937. Article copied from the net only to distinguish between detergent and non detergent . Probably written by some Ford guy ?
  2. Looks like use of non-detergent oil. "When early engines (prior to 1954) were new, oil filters were an accessory item and non-detergent oil was the type of oil used. Original, unrestored engines have most likely been run on non-detergent oil. If you are running an early unrestored engine that is not spotlessly clean internally, it is imperative to continue to run it on non-detergent oil. Otherwise there is the risk of damage to the engine. Non-detergent oil was used before oil filters became standard equipment. This type of oil would "stick" contaminants to the sidewalls and valleys of the engine to prevent dirty oil from damaging bearing surfaces. Engines that have been run on non-detergent oil for many years will have a thick "sludge" buildup. Sludge will appear to be oil that has turned to gelatin except that it will be very black with contaminants. Using detergent oil in an engine that had been running non-detergent oil would allow these contaminants to be released to flow through the engine. This could result in serious damage to the rod, main and cam bearings as well as other engine components such as lifters and plugging of oil lines.
  3. Bottom of filter, 5/16" Female Inverted Flare Tube x 1/8" NPT Male Pipe. All oil fittings on filter and engine, distributor vacuum, carburetor are 1/8" NPT male
  4. 6v gen will put out 12v with 12v regulator and battery but only for a short time. ?
  5. Yes pin was used since 1936 according to my part list. There is a tool for easier removal occasionally sold on eBay.
  6. My spare part list only goes to 1942 and C28, C34, C36, C37 had Stop lamp lens gasket 974990
  7. They offer led with 7 different colors now so you may express multiple moods ?
  8. Yes let us know. I'm also interested to know how it works, if I ever find one for sale.
  9. Looks like two different systems. Did the E-Z Hydraulic Booster not use vacuum ?
  10. MoPar had boosters since late 30's Only info are some photos from eBay
  11. Just remember always use heavy gauge wiring feeding amp meter.
  12. 100% Never opened mine. Don't know if it's original MoPar Fluid Drive Fluid or Johnson baby oil. As long as it works.
  13. Tie downs for shipping, Sounds about right. They sure are solid enough for that. So they must be from factory. All brackets are exact same size, threaded and fitted with square fasteners. Thanks guys, mystery solved
  14. Don't know if bracket is correct word for these 4 arches bolted to frame. What function did they have?
  15. Great looking car. Usually don't care for sedans but this model has a stylish rear end. Owing a pre-war is cool, you never meet another at rallies and meets ? Glad you're planning to keep it original. ?
  16. Very nice but is this a new nut? If so from where and size?
  17. Shaft is brass. Soldering brass to iron can be done with brass wire
  18. Close up photo of throttle shaft bracket for choker connector rod. Normally preened on shaft.
  19. Here are two PDF files, don't know if they will help. It seems roller bearings where used on the bigger models, 7 pass and Limo. Hilsen fra DK Pages_from_Chrysler_Shop_Manual_C28_C30_C33.pdf
  20. Ok back to carpeting. My original carpet is made of two pieces sewn together. Large part under seat extends to the side under sill and covering both floors but stops at both side of domed part where transmission lies. Center part over the dome sewn the carpet under seat (broader piece sewed on), overlapped by ca. 15 cm over the sides giving easier access to inspection lids. Sorry for this explanation, maybe someone with better English can put better words. I haven't found any companies selling or producing these.
  21. Mine has an optional back-up lamp and switched on from dash due older transmission without reverse switch hole. One day I ran across this 1948 with M5. It's simplicity was a surprise. Too my luck I found one on eBay. Switch was not working properly. Found NOS switch on eBay. 1300644 There are 4 switches for sale on ebay now. Bracket can be made. https://www.ebay.com/itm/NOS-1946-49-CHRYSLER-DESOTO-49-50-DODGE-BACK-UP-LIGHT-SWITCH-W-AUTOMATIC-TRANS/142954221331?epid=1723736426&hash=item2148bc4f13:g:CfQAAOSwwE5Wa1fK&frcectupt=true Now reverse lamp turns on when in reverse or manually. ?
  22. I got hold on one of these some time ago. Works perfectly .
