Yeah. Anything going on in Iowa with the old cars? Salvage yards, etc.?
-
Thanks Trucker Tim for your specific help in finding the download. I didn't think a template would be in the tools section.
-
I'm probably missing something but where is this download for the template? I've tried looking. Is it the same for a '47 Desoto?
-
Thanks. That looks like a plan. I very stupidly removed a lot of bolts seven years ago when I got the car, thinking that as I was working on it, I'd remember where they went. Some I did label but others not. I've been pouring through the parts book trying to identify them. It seems that as I am putting things back onto the car, I am finding the right fasteners. It sure would make working on the engine a lot easier!

I've got a '47 which is basically like yours. Every time I see somebody like yourself go deeper into some aspect of their restoration than I do, I wonder how difficult it might be and if I'll be able to get the thing back together if I do. How difficult was it to remove the front fenders as a unit? I've got the inner panels off and painted for the battery tray and such, but it looks so inviting to have the entire front off like you do.
-
That's quite a cleaning up!
-
That's a great find. Welcome. I have a 1947 DeSoto S-11 which was the gussied up S-8 available right after the war. As your typical guy who knows little about restoring cars but has had to cobble up info and parts as I go along, let me know if you have any parts source questions, etc. I give you what I have.

Another quick one Please

I wondered why in old movies drivers exited on the curb side. -
I bought mine from Andy B. seven years ago and have never put them on, so I don't know how accurate they are.
-
John, could you post a photo of the other side of the engine showing a close-up of your oil filter mounting? I'd greatly appreciate it. Thanks.
-
Before starting up a car after a long time, does that additive work that restores gas in the tank?
-
Thanks. If I have Napa do one, what material (rubber) do I ask for? There seems to be a difference between fuel and oil.
-
Yes, I do have the parts book and the shop manual. I've looked at the parts book for the oil lines but it didn't say specifically whether or not any line was rubber or flexible. At least I couldn't find one. I've looked in the shop manual and couldn't find that either.
-
Okay thanks.
-
I just found what looks like the same hose on ebay and it's a fuel pump hose. Same fittings. Was that a replacement by somebody? Anyway, it's not the fuel gauge line with the rubber intermediate hose cause that hose is intact and coming out of the dual block fitting. So should I replace the rubber hose with a rubber hose?
-
I have an oil line coming out of the block with a strange fitting, or at least to me. It seems like a rubber hose fitting. I'm sure I cut the hose when I took the oil filter canister off. The brass piece just spins. It's all one fitting. The second photo shows where it is coming out of the block to the right of the double oil lines.
-
I also got the mandatory info page and tried to get off of it, and wasn't thrilled in having to make up things to get rid of it. I really didn't have any answers for the questions, and certainly none that would help anybody else or even that I choose anybody to know about me. Dump it.
-
I don't really know how to make the window wider.
-
There is an ad on the right side of this thread at the top that is making the entire thread narrower. Can this be removed?
-
Yeah, I see that. Thanks.
-
I'm opening up this thread because I am installing my oil filter after seven years. First, the bracket. I haven't seen that type of oil filter attachment bracket. There seems to be something extra on the top for something else to attach. Then, I have two unidentified fittings here. I doubt either one belong into filter canister. Anybody know where they belong?
-
I did find a diagram of this set-up in my parts book, but I still can't account for that single line coming out of the block that had a rubber outer sheathing kinda like a brake hose. Maybe somebody used something they shouldn't have.
-
The line closet to the block is going to the oil pressure gauge on the dash. The other line is just sticking up in the air to connect to the filter housing. And there is one line coming out of the filter housing.
-
I'm installing my oil filter and I've looked at a lot of engine set-ups but haven't seen this double-line fitting. Plus, that other line to the right is a rubber hose fitting but I don't know where it goes.
-
Thanks.
