I send all sorts of stuff to Budapest all the time. It takes two weeks, but you still can't beat the USPS.

Aussie D25, Consider finding a project for your dad. He just sees all the fun in restoring and wants to participate. Help him get his own car, he'll like it better anyway. Or tell nim to keep his dirty hands off yer car or you'll feed him to the dingos.

Just take the plug out and pull it over quickly a few times to splash the oil around inside. You did put the oil in, didn't you? Put the plug in, choke it, prime it a little and it'll start right up. You really shouldnt have to do anything other than follow the instructions. I have been using one like that for 3 years now that my neighbor gave me. H e ran it without oil until it froze the main bearing on the pulley side. The crank is so loose now that you can hear it rattle on decel, but it keeps on blowing snow. It leaks oil pretty badly too, since it knock the seal out, but hey, it was free.

So, there were two different back-up light options. Now I see the light! Thanks.

One more try. I meant that the difference is not determined by early or late production or level of trim, but merely by ordering optional back-up lights.

Boy, drag up the 50 year-old memories. The 53 we had my dad bought about 1957. It was a Cambridge, which was cool because we lived in a neighborhood called Ambridge. It did not have back-up lights and thus it had the long single red lens. I am absolutely certain that the lens was plastic. Replacement came from a junk yard and it too was plastic. Its more likely that the difference is because back-up lights were an option, rather than a high or low trim line. Why do I remember these stupid things and I can't remember where I put my keys?

Here in Hobart Indiana, we just built and opened a new high school. It cost $61,000,000. I was told it has a Starbuck's in the lobby. I said I didn't believe that, but kids that go there said yes, there is, all the schools around here have them. In 1958 to 1961 I was taught to use a 12" South bend lathe, a shaper and a milling machine. My kids don't know what those things are. I asked about a metal shop class at the new school and was met with a blank stare and "We don't need that right now". I am more than willing to pay higher taxes for a new school if it will prepare kids for life, but I have to wonder how much I paid for them to have an overpriced cup of coffee, and what they could have spent that money on instead. Thanks for letting me vent.

Remove the font seat bottom cushion first.

I think the p-15 guard is about 3" narrower than the d-24. I have been looking for one in an off-hand way and picked up 3 from a guy that said they were plymouth, but of course, he was wrong. I dumped them all at a swap meet some time ago. I think the width of the p-15 holes is 26". Maybe 26 1/2".

A slightly modified Rolls-Kinardly?

All 4WD Dodge trucks are made in Mexico. Well, they were 5 years ago, anyway.

One thing I learned from 5 guys is, always order the smaller burger. Their regular size is way more meat than anyone needs at one meal. And don't start me on the fries. Geez, the whole family could eat on one order of those.

or is it a toy car?

Again, try some snap ring pliers with 90 degree tips. Plenty of leverage and one size fits all.

Our local power utility also runs many trucks on CNG. Most of the ram tractors, fork lifts, sheet carriers, and shop mules at US Steel ran on CNG too. I remember a few years ago there were a lot of CNG powered taxis in Las Vegas. The oil stays clean forever and they have a sweet smelling exhaust.

Works good now, thanks

Can you still buy lacquer paint?

I think the bore size is also smaller on the older carbs, so I wouldn't bet on the throttle bodies swapping. Probly worth a look tho, might get lucky.

I use snap ring pliers with angle tips to unscrew them too.

When you break a crumb in half, you have two whole crumbs.

I see an ad here in one of my magazines that there is a new book out called "Steering Wheels and Dashboards,1939-1949: Chrysler Corporation. At $22.50, it includes a CD with pictures. $18.50 w/o the CD. Says here; Don Narus C/O New Albany Books 6788 Winrock New Albany, Ohio 43054

Rosemary Clooney is George Clooney's aunt.

My gps can be charged by connecting a usb cable to this computer, so the power draw must be very, very small. Look on your gps to car power cable and se if it says how much it puts out. Probably in the milliamp range.

I would rather have to make more of an effort to shift gears than to have the trans come out of gear. So, a stronger spring seems like a good idea, it wouldn't make a lot of difference and what could it hurt? On the other hand, if its such a simple thing, why did Chrysler use so many different springs? F'rinstance, if you had a large heavy crystal gearshift knob, you would want a stronger spring to keep the trans in second and reverse. If you had a weeny little baby arm, you would want a weaker spring. Getting pretty silly, no?
