    Thanks - I looked at the Plymouth doctors website sheet metal floor pieces. The rear part seems similar for a portion of it, but there are kick ups (for lack of a better term) I assume for the frame rails in the bus coupe, not present in the 2 door club coupes which are flat. But these kickups are behind the trunk divider. I am thinking the 2 door club coupe carpet should work when cut off...anyone else ?

    I reached out to some of the auto carpet outfits and found that one is making carpet sets for 1952 Ply. 2 door club coupes, but not business coupes. My question is about the differences in the floors of club and business coupes. Obviously the bus coupe has a shorter floor section to be carpeted, but is the floor sheet metal the same as a club coupe ? Assuming it is then I should be able to buy a set for a club coupe and shorten it ?

    soak them in solvent to soften the glass channel tape. After it softens they will slide out with some coaxing. You can take the glass pieces to a local glass shop and have them cut duplicate new ones and install them as well...some food for thought.

    Interesting, the automakers would never do that now, too much capital tied up in iron sitting around....

    If you folks like to see old cars check out so called Film Noir on Turner classic Saturday evenings...Lots of black and white films dealing with murder mysteries etc from the late 40- into the 50's...

    Often when these are split the front cylinders are blocked off from the rear - with a welded in plate at the heat riser. I'd check and make sure...Or do as suggested and keep it dual.

    Look for a bearing that uses a design called angular contact. As to which manufacturer, try talking with the companies making clutches. I believe the TO bearings used in the old cars like ours are similar to the muscle car era mopars...

    Hi Ed - The rears are the same as long as its a 2 to 4 door. I imagine the fronts are the same, but dont know that for certain.

    One other note - you dont need any extra cooling capacity. A two row unit will be more than enough to cool a flat head.

    You should be able to buy all that stuff for the ranger axle from the parts store.....

    Depending on the style of heater should be at the back rear passenger side of the cylinder head ?

    Look at master power brakes remote reservoir master cylinders.

    If the ignition work does not improve the performance, look at adjusting the valve lash. I suggest finding NGK equivalent plugs for your champions. I've had extremely bad luck with champions. Also trying setting the base timing at someplace between 5 and 10 Degrees advanced. Watch out for pinging, and reduce base timing as needed.

    My car has such thick undercoating in the fenderwells you have to dig to find the fastner heads... Most of the time...coils either work or dont. What can happen - when they cold work fine if they get hot they can fail. Do you need a 6 volt coil ? I'll send you a pm.

    Not sure but it might be threaded into the sheet metal without a nut behind it ?

    Merry Xmas to all ! Mince meat pie in the oven now...mmm...

    The old style seals can wear serious grooves in the axle shaft etc. Might be a good idea to examine and install speedy sleeves if they are bad...

    What works for me is to use needle nose pliers to expand the clip "ears" and then pulling up on the rotor...

    For the stuck motor - I'd pull the head off while in the car. Examine the cylinders and see how bad it is. Clean up the cylinders best you can using steel wool and maybe 600 grit paper. Soak pistons with penetrating oil. Drop the pan. Drive out/remove pistons that are in position to do so. Try prying against the block and a crank throw carefully, to loosen the remaining pistons. Good luck.

    Very sad to hear this, especially during the Holidays. I never met Don in person, but did correspond with him, and was always impressed with his knowledge, posts and advice. The P15 D24 community has lost a great one. Our sincere condolences...RIP.

    70's -80's dodge/plymouth police rims - 7 "X 15" fit perfect on my car with 215 70's.

    Suggestion - find out if there is a heavy truck clutch rebuilder near you. I did and they rebuilt my pressure plate, and disc., and properly resurfaced the flywheel.

    Condensor does not care what voltage you use...for the wiper motor, I built a voltage reducer based on a plan from a VW bug site, uses a heat sink and a few discreet electronic items, like a resistor and so on. Old VWs use 6 volt electronics and conversion to 12 volt is apparently a common thing. Everything else you've listed sounds right. My guess is the fuel gauge has a loose wire connection somewhere. Did you change the overdrive solenoid over to a 12volt unit ?
