  1. i just changed out my fuel sending unit from my 51 plymouth, the gauge is working, but the gauge stays on even when the car is off, is that okay or will it drain my battery and cause my sending unit to not last as long?
  2. i just bought the felpro timing gasket kit for my 51 plymouth, and the timing cover seal that comes with the kit looks different than stock, anyone know what direction it goes in? one side of the seal is flat and the other side has a lip
  3. so the overcharging was caused by the generator, i got it rebuilt and went back to normal. One thing that i think isnt right is the volts its putting out, car turned off the battery is at 6.3v, when car is at idle its at 6.3v, once i rev it up to around 2000rpm it stays the same, shouldnt it jump up to 7-8v while revved up?
  4. So everything was working good then i took the plymouth out yesterday and its overcharging. The amp meter is acting like a tachometer every time i rev. At idle it stays at 0 but when i rev it up it goes up to +40 with headlights off. With the headlights on at idle it goes to -20 and when i rev it goes to 0 and doesnt go past that. It also has a new voltage regulator. Any idea what it could be? im thinking maybe its the generator.
  5. i have a 1950 plymouth with 6v positive ground system and a brand new battery. how should the amp meter work? right now when i start the car with no headlights on it stays at 0 at idle and driving. than when i turn head lights on it goes to discharge around 20 at idle, then i rev it up it returns back to 0. does that sound like its working right? i checked voltage at the battery with a fast idle and its showing 6.3 volts, sounds low to me.
  6. you guys have any trouble with exhaust leaks or blowing the heat riser gasket?
  7. so i got my manifold split and it looks exactly like this one, i want to completely block if off from exhaust air going to the intake manifold, should i cut a piece sheet metal and put it between the intake and exhaust manifold?
  8. ohhhh alright this pcv is new to me since i always had plymouth with a draft tube, so say if i disconnect the tube from the carb a little blowby should be coming out of the hose at idle right, meaning the valve is open?
  9. alright and how should it be mounted? is it alright if its to the side or does it have to be vertical? with the thread part on the bottom?
  10. alright so i pulled the pcv and the pcv im using is this one http://www.oreillyauto.com/site/c/search/PCV+Valve/02180/C0023.oap?year=1964&make=Chevrolet&model=Bel+Air&vi=1323414 should i get another one closer to my engine size or is that one okay? i looked under compatibility at the orielly website and it said the 1962 ford country squire with a 6 cyl 3.6l uses this pcv so i should be fine with it right?
  11. might be not sure though, i do stay in california
  12. alright thanks, so it will be safe to drive the way it is right now? and im guessing the pcv valve is the one screwed into the brass block on there?
  13. so i just bought this 52 plymouth cambridge and i saw this hose connected to what looks like a pcv to the carb base, did this come from the factory? is that a pcv valve?
  14. what range of fuel psi does the carter bb like or can handle?
  15. yeah on that picture it doesnt show the part im talking about but it came with the rebuild kit, and wondering where it goes
