  1. As my picture, Posted December 26, 2019 shows an earlier version (early 60's) of the Drag Fast linkage, different than Rodney's instruction sheet. To shift you would push shifter left and then forward for 1st pull back for 2nd and forward for 3rd. Reverse was left and back.
  2. This is my shift lever in my 37 D5 Dodge coupe which I have owned since 1962. It is a intake valve out of a Cummins "L" series stationary engine that I have for years and finely found a good use for it after all these years.
  3. I used a old rubber mud flap off of a semi witch was a 3/8" thick and had cords thru it worked great.
  4. I bought my 37 D5 from my neighbor's grandmother for one hundred dollars back in 1962. Parked it in 72 an brought it back to life in 2014 rebuilding the motor, replaced the trans with T5 and rear end with Explore 8.8 and Rusty Hope discs conversion on front.
  5. I put one in my D5 back in the middle "60" and ran it until I parked the car for over forty years. When I redid the car in 2014 it was replaced with another diaphragm clutch from Rock Auto. If my memory severs me correctly it was for a 60 or 61 chevy 6 cylinder.
  6. check out New Port Engineering.com a bit pricey but quality is there and they are stainless.
  7. Back in the sixty I ran a Rochester carb off of a 6cyl chebby on my D5,which had a larger venturi then the original. Bolted right on the stock manifold ran great.
  8. The old woman and I went for a ride Saturday(temp was 75 degrees) in the "37" Dodge, we went to Wilton to the famous "The Candy Kitchen" it is on the National Register of Historic Places. The first picture is the candy shop and the second is an old gas station museum along the way. The Candy Kitchen is famous because it has been in existence since 1910 and was opened by Gus Nopoulos and his wife and has been in there family until 2016. file of the candy shop to big and would not me load celebs like Gregory Peck have been there cool place and has a museum in the back. Sorry I forgot this is Iowa
  9. Every know and then we like to take the old Dodge to our camp site when want to rough it.
  10. I have Langdon's HEI and it works great. But my question is how do you mount the slotted piece from the stock distributor to adjust and lock the timing on a GM distributor?
  11. After changing oil (car on jack stands) I noticed when I turned the steering wheel to the far right there was a small amount of lash. So I turn it to the left stop and found even more lash. I put my magnetic protractor on the steering wheel and rechecked the lash 10deg right and 30deg left. Is this something that should be looked into? There does not appear to be any Lash in the center.

    Car is a Dodge d5 biz coupe.

    Thanks in advance for your reply

      Some last at ends of turns is normal. Center position with the slightest lash is good.
