Suess

Wow I did not know it was that expensive , scratch that idea. I will just stick to the standard lines.

Since I am replacing all the brake lines. Is there a reason why I cannot use the braided brake lines through out the car?

Spent the day welding up speed holes in the fire wall. Made some great discoverys. 1. A copper pipe plug from home depot works great to help prevent blow out. 2. When welding a firewall make sure you remove as much carpet as possible. ( still have the smell of burning carpet in my nose) 3. When quenching the spot welds with a wet rag make sure to not use the wet rag as a hand rest. Oddly enough you will get shocked.... Go figure 4. And the most important of them all. Before unplugging the dryer so that you can plug the welder in make sure your wife is not doing laundry. And if you do make this mistake, when she tells you that she is using the dryer do not be a smartass and say put them on the line.. I thought it was funny she did not. It was a great weekend!!

Have you tried pulling the spark flug wires one at a time to see if you can recreate the knock?

Just finished tearing down the suspension. Discovered the springs had been torched. Called eaton ordered their 2 inch dropped coils with the poly rubbers was a fast $320. Thought about grabbing a pair out of a donor frame and cutting them but since I am so far into it figured just get the new set. I also have a pair of original ramhorns but not sure if the middle dump is going to work. Oh well cross that bridge when I get there.[/img]

After discovering the manifold problem. I decided to tear it down and do all the things I wanted to. The engine bay has always been an eye sore and the handling sucked. Found rusty hope in the forums super nice guy. Bought the disc brake, shock relo and rack and pinion kit from him. Called Ralph at ECI brakes ordered new under floor M/C along with metering block and the bolt in bracket for the Plymouth. New front end rebuild kit along with king pins. Will start breaking down on the front end tonight. Also I am in Durango Co.

Got it... But doesn't the pic seem large?

Try it again

See if the picture work

Hello all. I have a 1947 buisness coupe that my father found before I was born. I have many find memorys of this car. This is the car that started my love of old cars/ tractor/ motorcycles. ( no boats though). This car has been sitting For the past two years next to a dryer outlet tube. A lot of lint before that it had its own spot in the garage. For ten years prior. Well my dad moves to Minnesota and leaves the car to me. I had her towed home did a quick wash down. Blew the tank,rebuilt the card did a tune up and put power...it fired up but idle was horrible way to lean. Come to find out the gaskets for the 350 intake someone put the rubber one in and it slipped out. I discovers the beginning of my adventure had just begun. Instead of pulling the manifold and fixing then problem I decide to do a tear down. The adventures begin. And can some point me in the right direction on how to input picture please. I am using an iPad
