That was my 65 Barracuda, I had bought it just before the meet and it wasn't running very well. I wish I had driven the 48 coupe.

Greg, Your car always looks good.

I ran one wire back to the light switch for power and it worked just fine.

Wish I'd seen that years ago when I ended up taking mine to a repair shop.

I used a piece of small brass pipe cut to length and beveled the ends.

Herb Ellinger who wrote the book was one of the teachers for automotive engineering when I went to Western Michigan University.

Sounds like a good time.

Part number for Transmission Drive Pinion 1941 D19 3 spd ?
JohnS48plm replied to '41 Fat Bottom Girl's topic in P15-D24 Forum
You need to make some guide bolts for installing the trans. Find two bolts the same thread as the bell housing with the unthreaded portion about 5 inches. Cut off the head and cut a slot in the end. Screw these into the bellhousing top holes then slide the transmission in on them. Use a screwdriver in the slots to remove the guide bolts. -
BXVES-3 Carb Rebuild - Needle Valve and Seat

I had good luck with flare fittings at a local AutoZone. -
Welcome Paul, I hope you enjoy the forum.

Waldron exhaust in southern Michigan makes pipes to the original patterns. I put their exhausts on both my 48 convertible and 48 coupe.

I used a Steele windshield gasket in my 48 convertible years ago. It fit with no problems.

Years ago I sprayed my 48 Plymouth clock with electronic contact cleaner then oiled it with clock oil. I also soldered a diode across the points to keep them from arcing.

I drove the 48 convertible I had in 1993 from Battle Creek Michigan to Plymouth MA then to Bar Harbor Maine. We drove 65 mph most of the trip. The car ran good at that speed. I also drove that car to Rapid City SD in 2000 and Washington DC. I put 15000 miles on it in 7 years. Then I bought a 48 club coupe that I put an overdrive in. Drove that car to Killington Vermont and to Concord North Carolina. With the overdrive I got 21 mpg and it would drive 70 all day long. JohnS

Have a good trip. I'm glad you're enjoying our state. I always love Mackinac Island. I won't be able to make Detroit I'd like to see the Chrysler Museum. JohnS

I've used 2 Daytona kits. They have a better design float valve that keeps the float level even.

The T10 is a Borg Warner overdrive. I got my rebuild parts from Northwest Transmission. I don't have the address and phone number by the computer but can look it up if needed.

Transmission Refresh, R10 Overdrive, Need some info.

When I rebuilt my R 10 overdrive I got all my parts from Northwest Transmission. -
I soldered a diode across the points of my P-15 clock to prevent arcing. It ran well for years and was still running when I sold it. I saw the diode trick in an article in the P-15 Driver newsletter that was available years ago.

Looks like you're in good shape for cruising this summer.

Merry Christmas to all and may you have a Happy New Year!

Is the pressure relief hole in the bottom of the reservoir clear? If that's plugged one or more of the wheel cylinders may not release.

I was working on the brakes on a 1931 Chrysler CM6 last spring. We honed the original master cylinder and put in a kit. We still need to pull the drums to check wheel cylinders and drums.

I always use A Testors paint pen. It's a felt pen with enamel paint in it. They are sold at most hobby stores. Just fill in where you want paint and have a Q-tip or rag with solvent on it to clean up the edges.

The overdrive on the 48 coupe used to give me an average 21.7 mpg.
