The creek that runs behind my house. We had 11 inches of rain at the top of the mountain at the end of our canyon. IMG_0008.mp4

Just pull the tranny, the FD and clutch will stay attached to the engine.

Best source for information is a factory parts book.

I just rub a piece of white chalk on the indentations so you can see them.

Take your time, getting well is most important!

Just take the feed for the second gauge off one of the other oil gallery plugs that run along the side of the engine.

I'm pretty sure you can drive them through. Probably a lot of gunk on the inside blocking them. Would apply a lot of lube to get them loosened up.

How are you measuring the oil pressure, stock gauge or external gauge?

Post a pic of the bell housing. Or take the clutch pan off and post what is inside.

What exactly are you asking about in the picture?

Just a reminder, the ads make this site free to everyone.

Also the FD transmission has a different bell housing. Post a pic it you can.

Did you replace the cam bearings? Did you plastigauge the main bearing while doing the assembly?

Welcome to the site!

I could set it up to present all the content in a Pilothouse section. I just need the source files and images.

Welcome to the site! Great project!

According to my records P15-D24.com launched 24 years ago today! Now with over 12,000 registrations thank you for making it such an ongoing success today! GT

Again, they are not split rims, they are lock ring rims. Most automotive tire shops don't know the difference. As Los says go to a truck tire shop. They deal with this kind of rim all the time. You will need flaps and tubes. Size is pretty unique, I don't think you will find a easy more modern rim to swap. Stockton Wheel makes a updated replacement but big $$$$. as Los mentioned if they are in good shape it shouldn't be a big deal. You also might want to consider bias ply as finding the narrow size will be easier. I have 225x16 on my B1C and I wish I had gone with 215 instead. 265 are overkill. Stock bias is like a 6.00 or 6.50 which will crossover to 205 or 215 radial. Check the tire section in this page. https://p15-d24.com/page/p15d24/tech/enhancements.html/. WIth no power steering those big wide radials will be tough to steer at lower speeds.

Well you have 1 ton model, with a later Plymouth engine. Usually they are 230 ci but that engine may be a 218 ( I don't have my reference book near by). Looks like someone started a 6 to 12 conversion but didn't really finish the job. Is the battery in it a 6 or 12? It should be under the drivers side floor panel.

I just sent him an email but I don't think it will work because the email uses the old domain name.

First off great call re the Wayback Machine! Perhaps we can make this a community project. First we have plenty of storage available at p15-d24 to store all the DPETCA content online in the Downloads section. Next if individual members can volunteer to download a couple articles from the Wayback Machine, post a list of which ones they have downloaded (so we don't get a bunch of duplicates) and then upload to the Downloads section we may be able save most of the content. Anybody willing to volunteer?

Starting point... https://p15-d24.com/page/p15d24/tech/brakes.html/

Start at 2 BTDC. Best way is to "road time", that is advance it a couple degrees from the 2 BTDC and take it for a drive. If it ping or knocks on hard acceleration retard it back, otherwise advance it another couple degrees and retest. When you find the sweet spot where it doesn't ping under hard acceleration lock it down. Also remember when setting timing always disconnect the vacuum advance and plug the line going to the carb. And do it at idle speed.

If it was online here it should still be in the Downloads section. Nothing has been deleted.

Just an update since the site has vanished. Back in 2016 I tried downloading many of the image files from the website but the screen resolution of the downloaded files was so low they were barely readable. I needed the original source files to make it worth the effort.
