Greg, what do you have ? My 53 manual says 15/6 but i don't know how that relates to gph.
-
Does anyone know what the quarts/min or gph flow of our mechanical fuel pumps are? I am wanting to confirm my electric pump is sufficient and it hard to compare 15pumps with about 6 oz. To anything published.

Check the car side I have it on my 53 plymouth w/ 6v. I used a hot rod air unit that is no longer made. .. hope nothing breaks... -

No solution yet, but mine won't stay on. I am trying a new one and hope that it will fix the problem. I did bend out the lip a little in the last one but no luck holding. I may try the 60+ year old ones again. -

Have you had a problem with keeping the dust caps on with the scare bird hubs? -
When working on the front brakes how tight should I make the nut holding the drum on? Is there a lbs/ft or just had tight?
-
It was only flowers but it got them all home in one load..
-
What did you use? I'm thinking about trying to head form and to the shape. It worked well for the doors and kick panels.
-
One more close up shot. Once set it sets its not to glossy but not flat either.
-
I did rubbing compound and clr to remove rust and oxidation then boiled linseed oil to protect.
-
I will not go though the fuel issue again... I don't want to play ... I have a new tank, all new lines, new fuel pump and a back up electric running, I thought I was done with fuel issues....
-
Will too little timing cause a hesitation or slight surge at higher speeds? It was set at 8 but I dialed it back to 4 at idle, but i don't feel like I have as much omph on the top end.
-
It is the contact to my new set of points I put on at the start of this. Apparently it came off and my gap was huge.... So once the starter was spinning at a decent speed. And I fixed this it runs good
-
It's always the simple things.....
-
Okay here is a update. Pulled the starter and the drag went away. Got a 2nd starter rebuilt and it turned over fine, but would not start. Beat my head against the wall for a while, then had a buddy come over and he found this.... any guess what it was? Soon as it was found we had it running in 5 mins.....
-
I found the casting number of c39871. Any idea what it is? I think it may be a 4 speed
-
I'm think that also.... good thing i wasn't far from home.
-
Do you happen to know the final gear ratio? I can't seem to find any info for it ...
-
Not yet, it has sat for about a week. I debated sending to the shop, but it is still in the drive way. I am going to pull the heads and pan and see what I got. I believe there is a bind internally causing the engine to crank slow. With all plugs removed it is significantly harder to turn over by hand than the 53. I noticed that as you crank it over by hand there is a point where you feel a drag then it moves easier, then repeat. I am wondering if I have something hanging up one of the pinstons....
-
I'm chasing down a casting # so we will see. Wonder what the final gear ratio is for the overdrive version? Will a big truck transmission bolt up to a standard 230 bellhousing
-
What were the gear ratio for the larger trucks 5 speed transmissions? Is it two granny gears? Or a over drive?
-
Tim your right the truck ran fine for a mile or so till I got home. It just wouldn't start after the cool down.
-
Who has done it and how hard was it? Where do you get a crank handle?
-
Will a starter from a hydrive 218 fit a 230?
-
That's where I'm going next. If the chain jumped a tooth or two would the distributor match the piston tdc? I am also thinking about removing the flywheel cover to see if something is in a bind on that side. I will plan bypass the ignition also. other options pull the battery cables and possibly starter out of the 53 and test the on the 40.... I am also considering pulling the plugs on the 53 and counting the revolutions in a set time vs the same condition in the 40 and see if it truly is turning over at the same speed?
