Captden, before you drop the pan, remove the side covers over the valve spring area. There is an equally nasty mess in there. Make sure the drain holes to the pan are open. Putty knife and aerosol carb cleaner work here. THEN, remove and clean pan. This allows valve area mess to go into pan rather than on floor.

Tierod, welcome to the site and the world of ‘36 Plymouth owners. I have owned mine for 54 years. They are nice driving, fun cars.

Sniper, there are several different styles of these. Any advice on what you need should be specific to the car you have or it may not adjust correctly. Same goes for pictures, need to be of like style and year.

Thanks Keith, I appreciate the info.

Thanks for the picture Sam, I will think about that.

Going to install a 6v pos grnd fuel pump to prime carbs with on a 39 Dodge D11. Anybody have any tips or pictures for doing this? I have been told to have the pump lower than the gas tank. Is that correct? Thanks for any help. Hope you’re all staying well.

In my younger years I used to flip over on my side every Saturday night, but I finally figured out what was causing that.

Sent you a PM. Let me know if interested.

Todd, you need to contact Roberts Carburetor Repair, Spencer , Iowa. As the owner of 8 John Deere 2 cyls, I have dealt with them many times and they are top notch. You can send the mag to them, or they will sell you a CD showing how to rebuild it yourself. They have every part needed to do this, and can recharge your magnet which I suspect is your main problem. I would also throw away the Champions and put Autolites in it. Roberts phone....712-262-5311, they also have a free catalog.

Good luck with that. 20 years in a machine shop taught me that will not work. Dies are for cleaning up an existing thread. With no existing thread, the die will dive around on the bolt shank and cut an irregular substandard thread.

Where did you get those air cleaners?

I think Plymouth pickups started in 1937.

They put V8s in motorcycles

Does the sheriff know you’re coming up here? ?

The grille looks like 47 Oldsmobile. They were used in a lot of customs years ago. Don’t see them anymore because the 47’s are gone.
