I have my P-15 insured through the Collector Car portion of Geico. It is a completely different policy than my everyday cars. It's insured for an agreed value with unlimited miles and zero deductible. 200 for the entire year.

Thanks so much
-
Here are a few more pictures. Thank for the interest.

I posted a few on Sunday and will post more tonight.

Thanks Bob. I absolutely love driving the car.

It's a beautiful day here in Georgia

Tired of the same ole cars in classic car shows/swap meets
Eric T replied to rustytrusty47's topic in Off Topic (OT)
I was at the gas station this week and had people walk up and talk to me about the car. It seems people like the 48 way more than the 67 Galaxie I had last year. -

I live by the Year One store in Georgia. They have a good size show once a month for the most part the cars are the same every month but the people are very nice. I can't wait to be the only P-15 there. -
That's a beautiful car. Welcome.
-
I'm just happy it's running again. I was pulling my hair out over the dang car. Now I can start detailing under the hood and a few other odds and ends before the first Year One show of the year.

It's supposed to spark every time pressure is expelled out of the #1 cylinder right?
-
The brand new BWD condenser was the problem. After reading about what a condenser does and what happens when they go bad. One of the signs was intermittent spark. I pulled the #1 plug out and hit the button for a few revolutions and noticed it only firing every other time it was supposed to. I put the one back in that I replaced when I did the points and it started right up. I let it run in the garage for 10 minutes then had fun driving it around the neighborhood. What is the recommendation for a good condenser brand. I want to have an assembled extra breaker plate in the car but want a good reliable brand.
-
First off. Thanks for your service to this great country. Have fun with your project. When I drive mine it's almost like going in a time warp. Enjoy the feeling when you finally get to that point and good luck.

I replaced the taped up wires with wires from Mitchells Motor Parts. I appreciate the encouragement. I am not messing with the car tomorrow at all.
-
It ran for about 10 minutes and have not been able to get it to start again. I filled up the tank the last time I drove it but just to be safe I will take a couple cans to the gas station and make sure the tank is full. I am getting spark, I am still getting a good amount of fuel in a gas jar and I am now completely dejected about this. Someone please help me get this car running.

P15 idles smooth but runs rough when revving, backfires, pops.
Eric T replied to David Dyer's topic in Technical Archives
I just ordered the wires for 19 bucks a piece. A little pricey but was tired of getting the "We don't carry those and don't know who does" or "We only sell the breaker plate" Which is fine except I don't need a breaker plate.sorry for the rant. -
IT IS RUNNING. Those two little wires in the Distributor were the culprits. When I got home from work early I immediately pulled the Distributor, removed the wires covered the bare spots with electrical tape. Put the Distributor back in and fired up first try. Thanks for all the replies I really appreciate them.
-
As far as I can tell these seem to be correct for the year but I don't know how to tell if they are correct for my particular distributor.
-
This is my Distributor# 1120566 The cap is BWD C123. The Condenser is BWD G136 The points are BWD D103
-
Thanks for the advice. I will have a cup of coffee and check that afterwords.
-
I replaced the plugs and set the gap at 35. I brought it around to top dead center and pulled the cap and the rotor was pointed to the number 1 cylinder. I even checked the points and they were still at 20.
-
Thanks for the response. I didn't see the parts in the distributor and replaced the cap. It still acts the same way almost like the spark disappears. I checked the coil with a test light and when cranking it the test light blinks so I assume it good. I'm at my wits end right now.

Very nice car.
