If you have good spark from the coil did you check the points and condenser. Try filing and resetting the points and cleaning and setting the plugs. Other suggestion is be sure you are not using the old gas
-
Maybe a replacement engine. The engine in my 48 Pilot-House has no numbers on the engine # pad and a casting date in the early 60's. Mine had no other tags but sometimes you can find a rebuilders tag on the engine
-
Why bother with the choke just remove it and go with a manual as it is a truck it had a hand choke originally. You can get a cable kit at NAPA
-
As Joe said two holes with bolts in the exhaust manifold also need a gasket to insulate choke from the manifold heat, then a wire goes to the starter motor. No photo I had one on my a few cars but remove them and set up hand chokes . The should be a photo in the service manual jus do not have my manual with me right now.

Are you losing brake fluid,check the inside of the wheel sometimes it will run down if its leaking bad. In any case pull the drum of before you go for another ride.

P6 would be a 1938 Plymouth but not sure about the D1 plenty of engine # reference at the link below. Does the engine have a casting date it should be down by the starter. http://t137.com/registry/help/otherengines/otherengines.php

If it is just a matter of getting the old rubber off to fit the rims in a box. Use a sawazall and cut the tires off.

Good looking car and nice country

a 230 would also fit and they used these engines up until 1960 in dodge trucks also were used in some fork trucks and compressors keep looking you will find something that will work

The new exhause manifold will fit but it exits in a different place a little further back then the 54 so you may have to rework your exhaust engine pipe

I have had vehicles around late 1990's - 2000 done for a about $300 but if its a older vehicle it depends on the what vehicle and if the windshield is currently avaiable

I use a product all brake kleen I think its made by crc

As they are mechanical valves they will make some noise but if they are ticking a lot The valves may need to be adjusted. I use a multiweight 10-30 oil and find it is suffiecent fro my needs

May not be much help but below is some link to some information on WWII dodge trucks build cards http://www.command-car.com/technik/technikbuildcards.html

You may want to check the want ads to get a better idea of price but looking at the photo and in this economy I would guess maybe $1,500. It would help if you could get it running a good running engine always helps a sale

Have you done a tune up ? Replaced old gas made sure you have correct battery cables (fat ones not the 12 volt style) -
Joe, you have had a lot of experience with floors maybe you should go into the floor repair business.
