  1. You can seal it with sealant if you want. You can spray some mold release on it or put some grease on the manifold before you seal it. Let it set, pivot the riser back and forth and it will not stick to the manifold because of the grease and it will seal the gap.
  2. Same here, we are all on the same page in my book no matter how many pages there are.
  3. Hey Fred, When I replaced the bearings it did cure my oil pressure problem but I am not 100% happy. I replaced them when I did so I can get through the summer and go to some shows. I know that there was some scoring on the crank and when I first got the car I always wanted to pull the engine but did not have the room to do it. Now that I have the room, access to a engine hoist and friends willing to help me out with the rebuild I figured now's a good time.
  4. I am planning on keeping the gasket, can they be found new? Yes, this thread will go to the end. I do find it funny though when people get all twisted when they read something related to another post in its own thread.
  5. Well I decided to start my winter project early and get a head start before the cold weather starts (it was 90 today ). I only spent about 2 and a 1/2 hours today on the car and got a good jump. I removed the drive shaft,trans, all engine mounts and radiator. I was shocked at how easy the trans can be removed. It turns out I have a friend at work that used to own a engine shop and still keeps in touch with the guy he sold it to. I am going to have them go over the engine once I have it out. Here are some pics
  6. I decided to dissemble my engine for removal early and once it is out I am going to have a engine shop go over it. I know the crank needs to be turned and I would like to have everything miced up. Turns out a friend at work used to own a engine shop and he still keeps in touch with the guy he sold it to. Engine removal thread coming up with pics .
  7. Before pulling my engine for my winter project I wanted to do a compression test. Here is what I got with the plugs removed and engine cold. 1 - 110 2 - 90 3 - 90 4 - 75 5 - 115 6 - 105 What do you think?
  8. I plan on pulling the trans first than the engine with the hood and radiator removed. Will that work?
  9. Will do
  10. After thinking about just replacing my manifolds this winter I decided to pull the engine and clean it up, maybe get it hot tanked while it is out. To pull the transmission do I just remove the drive shaft,un-hook the linkages, remove the bolts and pull off? Does the bell housing and clutch just unbolt off also with no special tools needed once the engine is out?
  11. Same here
  12. LoL, maybe he is negotiable .
  13. Someone better pick this up! http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/plymouth-4-door-sedan-1940s-1950s-hydrive-parts-car-/270637446285?pt=Salvage_Parts_Cars&hash=item3f033fb48d
  14. Can you tighten up the rivet?
  15. Also found this Plymouth by the lake
  16. yup, this is me on Crow Duck Lake . Had a great time fishing and I also got to meet up with Fred. Fred I can't find the picture of us together with your Chrysler, post it if you still have it.
  17. Welcome to the forum, I have a cousin to your Dodge, a 50 Plymouth Club Coupe. If you have any questions this is the place to be.
  18. Glad you are ok ! Any pics of the truck that hit you?
  19. Here is the barn and the old library
  20. I didn't notice if it had a hitch, but it would make sense if it did.
  21. The mirrors on the black 48 plymouth pictured above are they an original after market add-on?
  22. Some more pics
  23. My town (Smithtown) put on a heritage fair today, they had a little car show also. I took the 50 Plymouth over to join the fun. A lot of great cars and fun for the family. The weather was perfect! Here are some pics.
  24. Thanks Fred, I got the idea from this site http://www.ply33.com/Repair/fuelsender.html but attached the top plate a little different. Works great .
