At a quick glance, those rotors don't look right for an IGS distributor.

I think that the two starters use different solenoids. I'm not sure of the other differences within the starter itself.

Very sorry to hear. Your posts are very informative.

http://www.plymouthbulletin.com/regions.htm I'd contact the Lone Star Region of the club. They list contact info on there. Maybe they'd be able to get word out.

My understanding was "SP15" for an engine number means that it was a P15 engine used in a foreign DeSoto. That DeSoto would have been a rebadged Plymouth.

I have a buddy looking for one of those u-joints for his American P15. I guess some of them came with them too? Do you have any idea what the GM part number is for those u-joints?

Didn't get V8 until '51 I believe.

I'm confused about these springs. I was curious reading this thread so I tried it on my own, looking for enlightenment. When I held a light under mine with pliers holding the inside of the coil, the outer part of the coil rotated. The inside looked like it tensed up a bit, but the outer portion looked like it was "expanding" and rotating correctly. Is this the way that they're suppose to work? The one I tested is NOS as far as I know. Would love to know as my heat riser had no spring in it when I bought the car.

Don't worry, after $150,000 invested, you can always sell it for a loss that being said, I'd love to have it lol.

I think that pre 1949 were all non-pressurized caps, though. '49 and up were pressurized I do believe.

I had to remove mine as an assembly. I undid the pedal pads, undid the springs and clutch linkage, and removed the pedals and master cylinder through the floor of the car. I then removed the c-clips, took off the pedal linkage, and pressed out the pin. I'm not sure that it's the only way, but it was the easiest way for me.

My thoughts are the first set shows pistons, rings, bearings, etc where as the second kit doesn't. A bit of an apple2orange comparison I also don't believe most of the after market gasket sets come with the rear main seals. A lot of them come with the chain case front seal, though.

Why would they make you stay on the grounds? I'm just asking to figure out how many fences I might have to jump.

I'm sorry if I was unclear. I need to remove it to replace the master cylinder. The master cylinder on the car is absolute garbage.
