    Must have been a super clean barn. That is nice. What's the parts car look like?

    This is correct. 2 upstrokes consisting of a compression and an exhaust and 2 downstrokes consisting of a power and an intake. Each stroke is 180 degrees multiply that by 4 for 720 degress or 2 full rotations.

    What's FABO?

    Beautiful.

    With 30" tall tires running at 2800 rpm with .7 OD and 4.78:1 rear gears you would be going approximately 75 mph. The final gear ratio is lowered numerically with larger diameter tires which also lowers the rpms and affects your torque and horsepower.

    One other way to combat using 2 Oxygen sensors is to put a crossover tube in the exhaust with sensor in the middle of the cross. This may give a little horsepower boost.

    On the radiator, it looks like the core for the slant 6 that was previously in it. I'd be concerned of it's potential to cool the 318.

    Yes, definitely pull your old one and match up the numbers. I order one from Andy Bernbaums for my '48 and it was too small. not worth returning for ten dollars. Went to my local NAPA the next day and got the correct one.

    Double check for broken exhaust manifold at the header while you're at it just for safeties sake.

    Post them as a lot in the classifieds here and let people know where you are and how much you want for the lot and shipping arrangements you can handle.

    Well you can get anything from this site. I mean I just learned something in history and writing. ie "the first American all steel station wagon was the '48 Willys" and "A factoid is a false statement presented as a fact".

    Your happy and the misses is happy then I'd say you have a winner. Looks fine to me too by the way, as if it matters.

    Welcome toddb. Where are you located? Nice car.

    I ran a set of 1980 Chrysler New Yorker wheels on my '48 Plymouth for a few years. They had the wire hub caps, there were holes already there to just open up for the alignment pin. They worked well and the offset was good.

    Have you tried to contact Tim Kingsbury or George Asche?

    Here's my attempt at armrests. I used Seaside Pete's and Plymouhty Adams' pictures for reference. Thanks a bunch.

    How much is cheap? I prefer affordable as cheap seems to suggest a lesser quality.

    Have you checked to see if it has fire at the plugs?

    First thought on the electrical side is coil. On the fuel side possible vapor lock. Both heat related issues.

    Yeah, I don't know how he got away with that unless his wife wasn't home or he isn't married. That's a pretty nice home, I don;t think my wife would allow that although I have pushed it a few times over the last 3 decades.

    Check this out, I hope it helps.

    I owned one for a couple of years. It would die on occasion as you were driving for no apparent reason. Turn out to be a bad ground between the engine and body. I also had to replace one front wheel bearing. Other than that it was a pretty reliable car. What's the problem with your Reliant?
  25. Silverdome
    Most likely held in with small wires. Did you remove the old ones or did they just totally rot away?
