Dang, I could have used a bolt like that. There wasn't one when I swapped heads. I'll find one somewhere.

Thanks Bob, Great pics and a very nice car.

That is one great looking car!!! Thanks for the link. That's perfect. Printing pictures for reference.

Hello all, I am looking for pictures of original interior for a 1947 Plymouth Special Deluxe 4 Door Sedan. Ready to do the upholstery and would like an idea what the original looked like. Anybody have any pictures they can send me? thanks, Richard:cool: my email address is pop@pacbell.net

oh yea, before i get into trouble.........1947 Plymouth Special Deluxe 4 Door Sedan, 230 with a 3 speed on the column in San Jose, Ca.

This weekend was going to rebuild my wheel cylinders. when I took them of, they were all pitted and corroded!! now i got to buy a complete set. so while I wait, took off the back plates, scrubbed and painted, cleaned and lubed everything else but now i need the tie rod end boots. anybody have any ideas? oh yea, also need the piston pins because there were 3 different types..........

I had the same problem. Check your horn ring again and make sure it is not bent. Mine looked fine also but when I compared it with one i purchased on eBay, it was indeed bent. I replaced the horn ring and now it works fine. just my dos centavos.........beep beep:cool:

Does anybody from northern California remember a vintage auto dismantling yard named Antique Tony's in Richmond?? It was a great place to go to even if you didn't need anything......

Is it ok to use an external thermostat housing, installed with the bypass hose connected to the water pump with an internal bypass motor and head? thanks.

Hey Gregg, that is just what I needed!!!

thanks for the suggestions...now to find a cylinder head for my 230 for the internal bypass block, or the head with a "hump".

Good Morning All, I have a 1947 Plymouth with a 230 engine. The engine requires a cylinder head with the "hump" for what I am assuming is the internal bypass system. Someone installed a cylinder head without the hump using a head gasket that is to be used for a head with a "hump. I had the motor running and it ran fine. When I changed the water pump and cleaned front of the head area and water pump mounting area, I must of removed whatever was put to stop the leak at the bottom of the cylinder head. The thermostat housing that is installed is the one used for the external bypass system. My question is, can I apply silicone in that area to prevent leaking, or replace the head gasket that does not have the hump or do I need to get a cylinder head with the hump? Hope this make sense because I am getting a headache just typing this. Engine number is:T310 Head Number is :1120803-6 Sure hope you can push me in the right direction. Have a great weekend.

that's a bad azz car!!! Go Gigantes!!!

Thanks for the reply. Just wondering how it would sound straight pipe out the back.

Has anybody run dual exhaust out the back without splitting the exhaust manifold? If so, how does it sound?

Soooo many choices. Can someone tell me what they did for their car. I need the 4 doors and trunk lid weatherstripping for my 1947 Plymouth 4 Door sedan. I know there are many sites out there and they list different shapes and compositions. If you would be so kind to let me know what you ordered, installed and if it worked for you. thanks, Richard:)

both manifolds off, there were 3 broken bolts that keep manifolds together, used liquid wrench, let stand for 20 minutes. each bolt had about 1/4 inch exposed. used a stud extractor, ALL CAME OUT VERY EASY!!! no cracked manifolds. picking up gaskets from NAPA auto parts in the a.m., should be on the road by noon......THANKS FOR THE PARTS LEAD!!

all bolts off. flange bolts left. sprayed with concentrated kombucha tea should be loose tomorrow. thanks!!

Thanks alot!!! made my day.

pump is fine. now i need an intake and exhaust gasket set. any ideas where i can buy local, before i go loco looking for them??

Ed, That scares me. so afraid other bolts will break when removing. do you think I can drill out and re-tap?
