I made this 2 tools to remove stuck water jacket tube, it was stuck way in there as you can see its broken i made this tool out of 1/8" thick aluminum strap and i cut out a hook also sharpened the tip so it can slide in like a screw driver as i pulled it out it broke in half and half was stuck way in there but after a few mins i got it hooked and got the other half out.. This works great for rotted out tubes now block is off to machine shop for reboring and acid bath -

I have a 1948 dodge coupe with my stock 3 on tree fluiddrive, i found a transmission off 1948 desoto with tiptoe transmission for $200 can this fit my dodge? Would it help at gaining speed at lower RPM? Or should i just avoid it and keep what i got? Ps i understand the both have fluidrives

Make sense i believe the 218 donor came from an earlier Plymouth so best guess is to check clearances and use the rotor and keep the gear as garage deco or spare

Im rebuilding my 48 230 dodge coupe, motor was shot so i got a 218 donor block, i used the crank and rods off my original 230 but i noticed the the 218 came with a gear oil pump and my 230 with a rotor.. Question is what one is better to run? I tried searching here before posting another thread but no luck. rebuilding this motor i have learned a lot about this amazing motor but im still a bit green on some things. Thanks

I believe my regulator on my 48 dodge is going bad. If it sits more than a few days i have to polarize my generator but my battery still shows 6.56v. Once polarized my amp guage is bouncing all over and at a high iddle im showing 7.45 v. At battery, is this normal? Also can i run a 6v. Positive ground regulator that is meant for a tractor?

Hello I purchased a 1948 dodge 2 door coupe and all my guages work except my Speedo any way of fixing it or anything in particular I should look at? And also my front driver spring seems to bee sagging I want to replace both sides, how do I go about removal? Do I need a spring compressor or can I remove my bottom a-arm?
