I did the upgrade over a year ago. The filter does get hot so I guess it is getting oil through it. You can read these two posts to see my symptoms. I hijacked the second post. http://www430.pair.com/p15d24/mopar_forum/showthread.php?t=22129 http://www430.pair.com/p15d24/mopar_forum/showthread.php?t=22148

Found this old post on the relief valve. Thought I would share the info again. http://www430.pair.com/p15d24/mopar_forum/showthread.php?t=1840&highlight=relief+valve

I have that hooked up also

The line from the filler cap goes to the air filter.

I installed this canister filter to replace the original sealed filter. What would the oil pressure gauge read if this type of filter were to be clogged? Would it bypass the clogged filter and read normal? Just trying to figure out my oil pressure issue.

I received my Plunger and spring from Vintage Power Wagons today. As you can see in the picture the new(used) plunger is in much better shape than my original one. The spring they sent me was too short so I ended up using my original spring. Once installed I ran the car and the oil pressure went up to just above 40psi. I let the car warm up and noticed the pressure was slowly going down. I would rev the engine and let up off the gas and the pressure would shoot back up to above 40psi then slowly go down again. I went for a drive and the pressure would drop near 0 then when I would shift gears and let up off the gas the pressure would shoot up to 40psi then slowly go down near zero when I was on the gas. I found it very strange that it would shoot up to 40psi when I let off the gas to shift gears. When I got back home I sat in neutral and reved the engine steady and oil pressure would hold @ 40psi. I decided to change the oil. Went for another ride, same thing happened but when the pressure would drop it was not as near zero as it was.I think my spring might be weak? The spring that Joe sent me should be arriving any day, I am curious to see if his spring (green spring) is going to make a difference. What are your thoughts?

That's GREAT

I remember someone posted that they bought a aluminum radiator on ebay. I cant remember who it was,just curious if you ever got it installed.

Joe, If no one can come up with one for you here is another on ebay with a buy it now. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/50-PLYMOUTH-P19-2-DOOR-DASH-EMBLEM-BADGE-TRIM-MOLDING-/120552606614?cmd=ViewItem&pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&hash=item1c117ecb96

Fred, I am sure all of the frogs I saw on your property will help you out also.

Here you go.

Hey Fred, Glad it arrived in one piece. It looks GREAT in your car! Nothing like a good old trade

Fred, Vintage Power Wagons have springs in stock. I will also have a spare spring once I figure out which spring to use. If you can wait a couple of weeks you can have my extra spring.

I bought my Monroe's from Rock Auto but forgot what part numbers they are. I can tell you the fronts are black and the rears are blue. They work great

Joe here is one on ebay will this work for you? http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/1950-PLYMOUTH-DASHBOARD-EMBLEM-INSERT-ORIGINAL-_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQhashZitem255afc46e8QQitemZ160440272616QQptZMotorsQ5fCarQ5fTruckQ5fPartsQ5fAccessories

Nice pics, but where is cooper?

How many miles do you think it takes modern oil to break down in a flathead?

Blow some shop air down the fuel line (just before the pump) into the tank . Maybe there is some blockage in the line.

Not sure,I kinda hijacked the thread. Sorry ActionGrant

Just called Vintage Power Wagons, they are sending me a used plunger and spring (good condition) for $15. Will let you guys know how it works out when I get it installed.

The plunger is what I think the problem is. This week I will make some calls and see if anyone carries them.

Hey guys, Joe was not able to find his plunger for me. Anyone have one they would like to get rid of with a spring?

That's good to know. I guess I got lucky .

They work GREAT! Look at all of the dirt it collects

I still use the oil bath as a filter.
