Oh, you guys listed it under off topic. I thought it was extremely odd no one was mentioning it. It should never be in off topic. Off topic would be a Ford museum. Lol Any who, I thought I'd pass it on as it wasn't mentioned on the forum. A Chrysler Museum for Chrysler vehicle's is definitely worthy of making the main forum. Hopefully this will make it to more eyes. I myself never been on the off topic forums because, it's off topic lol

Last weekend the Walter P Chrysler Museum will be opened. It's permanently closing. We'll be making the trip that weekend. December 17th and 18th.

74.00 is cheaper than your air filter assembly falling off or leaking dirty air in between the carb and filters and dusting the engine. Just my. Two cents lol

I will be at Hershey Sunday through Sunday.
I would add a high quality electric fuel pump and regulator and get rid of the mechanical pump.
I assume your heat riser is working correctly or at least held in the correct position? My heat riser was working backwards cause the spring was made incorrectly and the car didn't like that at all at idle for long periods. Got a correctly made spring and that took care of my idle issue with the carb.

I have a Champion in my 52 Dodge. Three row and it fit perfectly and works much better than the original. Got mine on Amazon. I also added a coolant recovery tank with a coolant recovery tank compatible radiator cap.

On my 52 Dodge I left the brake pedal on and removed the pedal pad and removed the master with the pedal still attached. My 52 has the clutch pedal on the frame.

Bought Echlin tune up parts for my 52. Appear to be China. Rotor was sloppy on the shaft, got another one and tighter but still sloppy. Wasn't impressed. Coil started leaking oil and had to be warranted like the rotor. Condenser had a strap instead of wire and was difficult to get it in place without shorting it. It appeared universal. Earl
You can not use solid core wires with Pertronix.
Have you contacted Pertronix?
I assume you're setting the timing? The timing used on points won't be the same as with the Pertronix.

Electronics do not, I repeat do not like low voltage and bad grounds. I wouldn't be surprised if a lot of the failures is do bad wiring, bad/dirty connections, too low or too high voltage, bad coils, or using solid core wires.
I plan to install a kit and their coil. Just haven't got around to it yet. I also plan to install a 6v alternator to keep the voltage constant.

Single circuit systems have no backup like dual circuit. You definitely want to replace everything, I mean everything. I also highly recommend a dual circuit master cylinder. Nicopp lines are great and not expensive. Also make sure your parking brake is working correctly as that is your last chance of control if the single circuit system ruptures somewhere.

When I had mine apart to clean and reseal, my screen was mostly plugged. Many years of nondetergent fluid had took its toll.
Glad it was a simple fix.

Pull, clean and polish the pressure relief valve. Make sure the solenoid isn't sticking keeping the ball from fully seating. May have to pull the trans apart and clean the pump suction screen. Pump could be weak.
