battery is new ,cross tested in my 1941 and holds perfect charge.
-
yes ,I've read that ,checked all connections ,all are ok ,its only hardly turning over when its hot. When cold it turns over like new ,I have had the car a long time and its only started to do this after the generator was rebuilt. only thing i haven't done is got a new voltage regulator ,could it be this?
-
no ,the battery leads are correctly placed and the ammeter is fine on start up ,its only when it gets hot ,maybe the coil?
-
hi, my 1948 New Yorker has developed an annoying problem, recently fitted a completely rebuilt generator and now not only does the ammeter bounce all over the place intermittently but when hot the motor barely turns over ,which it never did before .I think the car is charging and when cold or just warm starts instantly .Im thinking I need a new voltage regulator ,thoughts from any electrical geniuses out there? Is the voltage regulator the same for the New Yorker as the Windsor?

I run a triple carb set up with headers and twin exhausts on my 41 Chrysler ,runs like a champ ,much quicker acceleration ,roughly the same top end ,

Love the Sisson on my 48 New Yorker ,a great design and pretty foolproof.

I had the inclination to see just how fast my 1948 Chrysler New Yorker would go yesterday ,I got her up to 80 on the speedometer and it still had a bit more to give ,bearing in mind the speedo is probably 10% out ,I reckon the true top speed is about 75/80 depending on road conditions. Has anyone else tried this and what speed did you get? I'm not particularly interested in any comments regarding brakes or tyres or safety issues ,those are topics for a different post.

I have this problem even with my BMW X5 ,had all the lights tested but it turned out my eyes are old ,not the lights.

Buying a 6 volt battery soon for my 48 DeSoto
normanpitkin replied to MarcDeSoto's topic in P15-D24 Forum
I have bought 3 optimas ,the oldest are 13 years old ,still perfect with no maintenance at all. Worth every penny.Buy nothing else -
All hail the great God Safety ,we now exist in a risk averse society ,but to these people I say ,better buy a modern car ,whatever is fitted to our old cars will never ever match the safety or indeed performance of even the worst and cheapest of any modern vehicle. An unpopular view I am sure.

Snap! My 48 New Yorker 2 door coupe Highlander with 19,000 original miles
-
I have also been thinking about an o/d for my 1941 Chrysler Windsor convertible ,but as its fluid drive I think it complicates matters.The fact that Im running a triple carb set up and 6 volt probably doesnt help either, along with being in ENGLAND!!

Are we having the traditional supper on the saturday night? Will it be at the Aviator ,Ive already booked a room!

I am already booked in!

Haha ,that is USPS ! When a retailer signs up to the Ebay international sellers program they have to use Ebays shipping calculations ,which includes ,tax ,import duty and VAT ,then with a healthy profit margin added on top.It makes shipping costs about 3 times what they used to be.
-
thanks Conn ,i really need this but ,jeez ,$55 just for the shipping!!! This is why buying parts these days is a nightmare!
-
Darned if I can find them on Birnbaums ! Or in their eBay store
-
hi yes thats the part number i have to and it shows a solid one,I suspect they changed it for the solid version for cost and durability ,now all need to do is buy one and figure out how to fit it!

My door was rattling so i took off the door panel to discover that the die cast roller wheel on the side at the back has disintegrated ! The window still rolls up and down perfectly but i cannot imagine it is designed to operate using only the front roller ,Is there a way to fir a new roller without replacing the entire mechanism as it is only the rear roller thats broke,Its a 1941 chrysler Windsor convertible drivers side window. 119C8CB2-401D-4608-84CF-139A63B876C0.heic
