John, Great looking door panels! When did you install power windows? Harold
-
I used a 1000# Harbor Freight engine stand (4-wheel model) and supported the front of the engine with wood because it sagged too much.
-
I don't think the combination of outside temperature and flat-black paint was the culprit. Someone mentioned earlier that you have a 12-volt conversion without a ballast resistor. That is a more likely cause of overheating the coil.
-
If you have a cool, damp rag handy try wrapping the coil with it to cool it down.

I'd stop by unannounced and ask them to show me the leaks.

Cap or rotor

What is the best looking grill (pre 60's) ????????
JerseyHarold replied to Don Coatney's topic in P15-D24 Forum
First choice for me!! -
Way to go! The car looks great. Before and after is like night and day!
-
John, The upholstery is NICE. Really perks-up the interior.... Harold
-
I cut a fresh gasket myself from gasket material. I laid it on the bell housing, marked the holes, and snipped away.

I agree with earlier posters. A '62 Chevy, even if it's well restored and very reliable, is not a good choice as an everyday driver, especially if there are young children involved. There have been many advances in safety and handling in nearly 50 years, and you owe it to yourself and family to provide the safest transportation you can. Harold

If the starter motor spins but doesn't engage the flywheel then it's probably a bad Bendix drive in the starter.
-
Have you checked the starter relay? Put a test light on the starter-cable side and have someone crank the engine. If the bulb doesn't light and the starter doesn't crank, you've got a bad relay.

Congrats on getting a P23. They're terrific cars! Harold
-
Bob, You may also want to check postwar Chevy websites since they were similar to Pontiac. Harold
-
Congrats on the new car. It has a lot of potential. Found the forum below, maybe it will be useful: http://classiccar.com/index.php?option=com_jfusion&Itemid=62&jfile=forumdisplay.php&f=29

1948 Plymouth "Serial" numbers don't fit period
JerseyHarold replied to Mino Diaz's topic in P15-D24 Forum
That tag looks bogus to me. -
I sure will! It was last registered in 1974.
-
That's good to know. I don't have any keys for my '51 business coupe and I think they would be nice to have...I've only had the car since 1988!
-
I've never heard of a device to read pins like that but then again I never did this for a living. It would sure be a handy tool to have for all these keyless Mopars!
-
I believe that's a 'pick gun' used to open locks without a key. It jostles all the pins simultaneously in the hope they'll line up so you can turn the lock. Some locksmiths swear by them, others swear at them. Impressioning involves starting with a key blank and then filing it down systematically to the correct contour to open the lock. I had friends in the lock business years ago and I would occasionally go on calls with them or help around the shop. I learned some interesting stuff because of it.

Tod is 100% correct. A little anxiety is normal, but with a phone and the right AAA plan you should have no fear of travel.
-
Sorry to hear about your accident. It's good that you weren't injured. I'm sure you'll have Plywood up and running again. It may be down but it's not out. Harold

The body would flex quite a bit without the extra X-member in the chassis to stiffen it. For the last couple of years, someone on eBay has tried to sell a '52 Cambridge club coupe with the top cut off (it appeared over a dozen times). They were touting it as a parade car, and the body and chrome looked very nice. The telltale was the edge of the trunk lid, which was all chipped due to the flexing.

How about a cooling system pressure test to check for internal leaks?
