Very nice looking car, Simon. Very nice how the front emblem red pops against the gray paint. Mine seem to have been rechromed, so no pretty red paint. There seem to be a lot of American classics headed to Europe with the strong Euro. Was this one already over there or did you import it?

About to claim her new spot in the garage. -

Clearly not the original interior - tan corduroy with matching suede headliner. The car seems pretty complete, though. A few missing things - the original throttle pull is gone, and the top part of the horn ring seems to have been intentionally filed off. -
Sparkly paint, G78-15 tires that say "The Untouchable by Cooper" on the side, and the tan interior - I'm thinking late 70's restoration? -
One of the "I just drove her home" pictures, before the oil started leaking onto the driveway. -
I think it's got the manual valve that you open in the fall/close in the spring it's sitting there at the top-back of the motor right where the hose heads back to the firewall. The mystery wire must be a rigged solution to adjusting the valve from inside the car - the defroster cable was hooked up to the defroster diverter, although it was jammed in the cable housing and the connector bracket on the diverter was broken off it's rivet.

I think all I've got are the hose connections. And a strange little wire that is not connected to anything but that was tucked up into the heater on the interior side and that has a tiny loop on the engine side, not connected to anything. It goes through a tiny hole in the firewall.

To remove the heater, do I have to undo the firewall water hose connections from the engine side? I took the screws out from around the back edge of the heater housing inside the car to see if just the housing would come off so I could see the internals, but nothing budges.

Thanks for the ideas - planning to work on it this weekend.

Hello, The fan in the model 30 heater under the dash in my first series '49 doesn't work, and judging from the dust in it, hasn't worked in a while. I'm wondering if anybody would be willing to post some steps for testing to see where the point of failure is? I used a procedure in the service manual earlier this week to diagnose the horn that doesn't blow (appears to be the horn relay) but there is no similar process for the heater. I did touch the two lines connected to the heater pull switch together while the ignition was on to see if bypassing the switch turned on the fan, but it did not. Thanks for any help - Ty

Thanks for all the great suggestions. This thread is really useful. @greg g: When I ordered a distributor from Bernbaum's, they asked for the distributor number, and when I pulled it off, the ONLY markings on it was the letter B above the infinity symbol, inside a shape similar to a three-leaf clover with no stem, and the stamped number 2. The one they sent me is the same, except it has the stamped number 4.

Cool - many thanks for the suggestions.

Hello, I'm the new owner of an early '49 Plymouth Special Deluxe club coupe. It runs and is drivable, but needs some work. I've found Andy Bernbaum Auto Parts (www.oldmoparts.com), which seems to specialize in parts for these cars. Are there any other parts sources that stock lots of parts for the late forties mopar cars? Thanks, Tyson
