  1. #1 should be at the 7:00 position.
  2. There you go, do it the right way.
  3. Sure, just don't grind on it too long. Assuming you have no points in it yet? To be safe, use jumper cables from the battery to the block and the terminal on the starter. It won't hurt the starter in short bursts. 15 seconds or so.
  4. Are the ports on the same plane as the carb mount? It does look like an old Buick part.
  5. You'll need one for each foot.
  6. Certainly looks like my October plan!
  7. Hemming's Classic Car magazine for November just got here. P-15 wagon on the cover, lead article, "25 Plymouths that you must own".
  8. You could try using two gaskets stacked. I do know that I had to tighten mine more than I thought was reasonable, but it stopped leaking.
  9. You seem to be photographing casting numbers on your block. Look for the small, machined flat space just under the bottom edge of the head, directly above the generator. Clean it off and the engine number should be there starting with a letter. this is the number that will determine the age and car line it was originally in. It used to be the number used for license registration purposes. That old Chrysler will make a nice road car when you get it going. One of my Granddaughters just started her sophomore year at UAF.
  10. I am both, Andy, and I much prefer silly to old.
  11. Thank goodness you are alright. We have enough members in the hospital now without you too!
  12. Thats great! It reminds me of Gus' Garage in the Popular Mechanic's magazine.
  13. Thank you very much for the update. All of us are hoping and praying for the best for him.
  14. The reason I was excited to see it is that I bought what was called a 1930 Chrysler 6 on Halloween night, 1961. A fellow I worked with later on said it looked more like a Plymouth of the same age. There was a Chrysler badge on the radiator where the pictured one has a Plymouth badge. The bodies are identical. The differences I saw on the Plymouth were that the Plymouth has chrome plated headlights and mounting bar, and two tail lights, both chromed. My Chysler had only one taillight and it and the headlights were painted black. My chrysler had a hole about one inch in diameter and brass rimmed in the upper right hand corner of the inside sun visor. I have never figured what that was for.
  15. A gray 4 door 1950 Chevy sedan. I gave $31 for it. It had a loose main bearing, a cracked block, practically no brakes, and bald tires. However, it ran and the radio worked.
  16. I found this at a steam show in Michigan yesterday. The owner, a younger, fellow didn't appear to know much about the car.
  17. Chrysler engineering meets Nates engineering!
  18. That is just beautiful. Nice work.
  19. Thanks, I changed it.
  20. In the next hour I am asking that everyone who wishes would offer a prayer for the welfare of Bob Drown. We all know he could use the help. There is power in faith.
  21. 89,050 Euros at noon today =$112,196.05 Lets get those bids in.
  22. Don't try that in seat belt law states!
  23. Wow! You even got a clock in there! And lookit that grille!!
  24. Kaisers also used 6 cylinder Continental engines, I believe. They were a flathead also.
  25. I still don't think thats a Mopar. The intake manifold and the thermostat housing are not right.
