    Numero uno on the list is seeing my son. He's in Seattle and we're in Jersey and the last time he was here was Thanksgiving 2019. Thank you Covid (NOT)! Gotta get rid of more stuff and sell the house. It would be nice if we had an idea of where we're moving, but the jury is still out for various reasons. Also getting at least one of my Plymouths roadworthy would be a big plus.

    To my knowledge, US-built P15's did not have a data plate with color codes. Only Canadian cars had this feature.

    RockAuto.com has parts listed for these cars as well. Usually at better prices than vintage Mopar vendors.

    Could the generator have re-polarized itself due to the spikes from the headlight circuit breaker arcing?

    Might be better to post in the main forum because it gets more traffic.

    I had dim headlights on a '52 Cranbrook I once owned. I added grounds to each headlight bucket and the lights brightened considerably.

    Have you checked the power brake booster for proper operation? Maybe it's binding somehow and keeping the brakes activated. Just a thought....

    I have an old 4-wheel HF engine stand and the flathead six drooped when I mounted it to the stand. I supported the front of the engine with wood as a precaution. Maybe the latest version is sturdier.

    Found this on my shelf yesterday. Does anyone know what it fits? It's not for a Plymouth so I'm thinking '51-'52 Dodge. Can't find a part number on it. Any help appreciated. Thanks, Harold

    I've pulled a few engines from '51-'52 Plymouths and always done so with the transmission removed. I also raised the rear of the car higher than the front to help with angles. If you cut the head off a couple of bolts that have the same thread as the trans-to-bell housing bolts, you can use them as a guide pins to make transmission installation easier. I've used the upper left and lower right bolt holes for the pins. Once you have the trans held onto the bell housing with 2 bolts, you can then unscrew the guide pins and replace them with bolts.

    I saw this car in person when Aero3113 had it. Good to see you're freshening it up.

    They remind me of '71-'79ish Ford Pinto. Double-check to make sure the diameter is correct.

    Have a good trip.

    Yes, it's an extra. I tend to want to keep it, but my wife says 'sell' to make some room. The discussions continue....

    I've heard that airlines use a 'price increase on 2nd visit' algorithm for ticket pricing. It wouldn't surprise me if other industries do the same. Try RockAuto for the sheet metal you're looking for. They may catalog it. If you buy anything, don't forget the 5% discount code.

    I've been looking at online photos of air filters and I think Mopar got them from various suppliers depending on year and factory. There doesn't seem to be consistent use of the 'ribbed' type vs the 'dome' type. Does this sound reasonable?
  18. JerseyHarold
    My garage-cleaning saga continues. This air filter looks like a Mopar but want to be sure and also pin-down the years it fits. The air filter for my '52 has more of a 'dome' lid without the ribs. Any help appreciated. Harold

    A mechanic's stethoscope may help track down the source of the noise. Just be careful when poking around a running engine.

    Make sure your title paperwork is in order before dropping a lot of money into the car. It can be very difficult to get a title without documentation in many states, and you don't want to have an un-registerable car after it's done.

    I tried both approaches and they both worked great. Thanks to you both!

    I tried to look up a very old thread that I started and can't find a search function for the forum. How can I get to it? Thanks, Harold

    The link below is to the temperature gauge repair page on the 1933 Plymouth website run by Tod Fitch (who also participates here). The operating principles are the same. Hope it helps. 1933 Plymouth Temperature Gauge Repair (ply33.com)

    Good video, thanks for posting.

    I think I read that one of the outer tie rod ends has left hand threads. Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong.
