so i been wanting to switch out my axle, since i want to cruise around on the freeway going 70 -80mph. right now im running a 218 with a 3sp and g78 tires in the rear with 3.73 ratio and at 65mph im at at 2500rpm i will like to be able to get to 70-80mph. which axle can i swap over that wont be to much work? i was thinking of a b body 8.25 but what will i need to do the swap? will any newer jeep axles work too?
-
does anyone have a linkage diagram for the cowl vent it seems like im missing a bolt i think, right now i cant shut or open it fully just stays in the middle
-
When did they start using a pressure cap?

so for a 52 plymouth concord, they should be using a 4lb instead of a 7lb? -
alright so i put the headers on with the napa gaskets, worked well and the fit was nice, now i have a question about my heat riser since its eliminated can i put a block off plate where the 4 bolts go? is it alright to run it without a block off plate for a day or two?
-
i just got some reds headers in the mail and i wanted to know if i needed to get manifold and intake gasket?if i get these http://www.napaonline.com/Catalog/CatalogItemDetail.aspx?R=FPGMS8009B_0147274822 will they still work if im running headers?
-
ohh damnn maybe, well im think about selling them since i dont use them, they are made out of fiberglass, whats a good price i can sell them for?
-
so i got these skirts when i bought my 52 concord business coupe, i tried them on and they seem to have a gap between the skirt and quarter on the bottom corner. could they be from another plymouth, all it said behind the fender skirt is 50-52 plymouth/dodge
-
i dont have any pictures because i dont have a camera but if i get a hold of one i will post some. thanks for the advice but right now im gonna put this aside since i dont have much time or money right now.
-
alright so in this situation what should i do?
-
The new bolts are a bit longer so they stick out a little more so i can put a nut on their, and thats what i was thinking that they are not stock bolts since im using 1/2-13 bolts, and stock are 7/16 bolts right??
-
hah i just tighten it as hard as i could, hopefully it holds up haha and i was thinking of putting a nut since theirs some bolt thread sticking out a little, just need to find one thats thin enough
-
so i already got the flywheel on, just had to rotate it so it goes on right, it sits flush. maybe the 52 plymouths got threaded crankshaft flange and flywheel??
-
its not a fluid drive its a 3sp manual
-
it was originally bolted on the cranksshaft but then the bolts from the flywheel snapped when i was driving, and im replacing the bolts now, originally which has the thread? the crankshaft or flywheel?
-
well the engine is a 218 and im not sure if the previous owners changed it out, but yeah both the flange and the flywheel is threaded, and it is hard to make it flush
-
im installing my flywheel and i cant seem to get it to sit right. is their a easy way to install it? and also my crankshaft flange is threaded and so is the flywheel its from a 52 218
-
alright so i think i found out what was knocking, my bolts from my flywheel ended up snapping when i was driving it, so i took everything apart to reach the bolts, my throwout bearing seems to spin really rough and makes a noise when i spin it by hand, i turned the tranny by hand from the shaft and its really smooth so im guessing the tranny is in good shape. i will like to replace the pilot bushing too, how do i take it off??
-
im running champion 592, and if you have a napa near you, you can get all those parts at napa or any auto store
-
just wanted to know how the gauge works since their is no markings ha thanks guys im new to plymouths haha
-
so how do i read this temp gauge?? mine usually stays in the middle, what temp is it running at if it stays in the middle?? its a 52 concord
-
so im running a electric fuel pump and i have the mechanical one on their still but not connected or anything, do they sell a block off plate for the 218
-
i have a 52 concord and my axle carrier bump stop is in bad shape, i will like to replace it. does any one sell it or maybe get one from another mopar that will fit?
-
what i mean is that the noise is only their when the clutch pedal is not pushed. when you do push the pedal the noise goes away. i checked the throwout bearing and i could spin and wiggle it with me just touching it.
-
no their isnt any noise when the car is moving and the clutch is engaged, but when im moving around 20mph or more with the clutch not pushed in i cant hear the knocking maybe cause i have it straight piped.
-
so i took a video of my car, and it has this knocking noise when the clutch is depressed and once i press it in it stops. here is the video when the knocking goes away i have the clutch in.
