Anyone see the movie Christine? Its about a haunted 1958 plymouth Fury, if not you guys should see it for a good laugh.
-
For the valve covers you can use an old socket and put a cut down the middle to allow the thumb screw to fit in the socket.

We call ours "Betty"
-
I feel the same way
-
You guys check out the new "old plymouths" site yet?http://www.oldplymouths.com/forums/index.php?act=home

Should I use the timing light at idle or rev the engine at all?
-
Any thoughts ?
-
Well it was way off doing it by hand.I put the timing light on it and the mark was to the left of the pointer by 8 deg.I set it to top dead center now.For two deg. before tdc should the mark be to the left or right of the pointer? Or which way should I turn the distrubitor?
-
Will do
-
Right now I set it to top dead center with the points open a little.I also will tune it with a timing light but am still waiting on getting my raidator back.
-
Do you guys use a 50/50 premix from the store or do you mix it yourself?
-
Is this true? http://www.stovebolt.com/techtips/timinglight.html Anyone use a 12 volt timing light on a six volt system?
-
ok, I will try what Jim recomends it will be a little while before I get to try it out. I have my radiator off to get a leak fixed.Thanks guys
-
I thought you line the pointer to the second line to the right of dead center?then rotate the distributor so the points are open.I just want to static time and I read that 2 deg. before tdc helps the engine run cooler.
-
are the points supposed to be open?
-
I read in other posts that these engines like to be timed 2 deg. before dead center,at two deg. where should the points be?On my engine the rotor is at about 7:00 and the points are open is this right?
-
The one on the 54 looks like it would work just fine.Anyone know where I can get one?
-
Anyone run with a six bladed fan?Any benifit? If so, what would work on a 1950 Plymouth 218.Thanks,Keith.
-
Glad my input worked for you.Its amaizing how somthing so simple can make you go crazy!!
-
Check your points.My 50 was running hot,the points were way off I readjusted and now its running cooler.
-
Hey guys sorry it took so long for me to get back to you,I had to go away for work.Today I had a chance to do some work on the 50 plymouth and first thing I did was check the points . They were way off, didnt even look like they were opening when I cranked the engine.I adjusted them to .020 went for a ride and all seems to be good now. Could the points not being adjusted correctly cause it to run hot?
-
I will take a bunch of readings tomorrow and let you know.What temps should I look for at different areas of the motor?Temps have been around 75-80 here on long island.
-
I may not be running too hot I used a lazer temp gauge and it reads just over 200. I think that seeing the indicator right on the hot mark is scaring me.
-
I am currently using a 180 stat. Should I put a lower say 160 in for the summer?I noticed that the car is running hot with the summer heat.Thanks in advance.
-
I would be interested in a 6 volt vibrator tube for a mopar 604 if anyone has one.
