  1. I take those marks to be 180 and 200. If you are really curious you could take the bulb out and heat water to 180 check it with a known good thermometer and again at 200. 212 is overheat only if you lose water. This is only if you have nothing else to do.
  2. Well now, thats even more curious.
  3. Thanks for that info. I wonder why it took so long for the engineers to get an auto choke on the Plymouth. Good to know, anyway.
  4. Now thats a neat picture! Beautiful car.
  5. Thats scary just to hear about Harold. Glad to hear you took care of yourself and all's well.
  6. Is a 36 Dodge supposed to have an automatic choke? Just curious.
  7. They should be cast iron, pot metal won't rust.
  8. Just plain beautiful! Excellent work.
  9. That ain't no con-undrum, thats a pile o' horse$hit!
  10. Those two detent balls have nothing to keep them in place, so Keep your eye on them, they can jump of you're pushing those forks around.
  11. See how simple it is? Thats why these cars are so solid dependible. Nothing like on the job training, is there?
  12. YES, thats how it works. Go for it.
  13. Thank you! Isn't it just beautiful. Classy and "grand".
  14. I noticed that also. It doesn't have the stainless windshield trim that a special has either.
  15. Take the old one out and look for a number. If you can't read it, just measure it and go find a match.
  16. Welcome, you've got a real gem there. Before biting off more than you can chew, go online and find a shop manual for the car and read as much as you can. They're tough old cars but easy to keep and simple to maintain.
  17. The first one is my personal favorite. Try taking it again while squatting down. Makes the car look bigger.
  18. Unless you are a native American, then, have at it.
  19. Does CRS explain going to the drug store and refilling the wrong prescription? If so, I have it too.
  20. Welcome to the forum! Its good to see another 2 door sedan has survived in Hoosierdom. Also, good to see someone interested in keeping his car "the way its supposed to be". I'm up here in the region, where are you?
  21. That car makes any building look good!
  22. Thank you.
  23. If you don't have a bushing, (silent block), in a rear spring, you have found your problem. Changing from coast to accel to decel makes the axle move forwards and backwards under the car. No bushing means metal to metal as the axle moves the spring front to rear. Just for fun, cut yourself a piece of an old tire and jam it in there just to see how much quieter it is.
  24. I have an Airtex electric pump and so far, it has never shut off. I turn on the ignition and listen for the pump as it fills the carb. But, it never stops. I have no flooding symptoms and it runs good with decent mileage. The pump, however, does not stop.
  25. Duct tape. No problem.
