steveplym Posted September 10, 2008 Report Share Posted September 10, 2008 Thanks for the tips Lou and Don. Looks like it will be fine less the damper. Glad you got it going Mike. Now it won't put a "damper" on your day anymore. Pun intended. Sorry, couldn't resist. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
49roadster Posted September 11, 2008 Report Share Posted September 11, 2008 In 1949 the Dodge has a damper on the coronet but no damper on the (cheep) wayfarer. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hairball52 Posted February 16, 2013 Report Share Posted February 16, 2013 Don't know if this is the correct place to ask a question. My 48 Plymouth coupe crank pulley has no center bolt holding it in place. When I was replacing the frt. eng. mt. I pryed lightly on the pulley & noticed it slid forward. The keyway is loose and I can move back & forth slightly & the only thing holding the pulley from flying off is the 12 volt alt. belt. I also have a vibration in neutral when I rev the eng. up Paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andydodge Posted February 17, 2013 Report Share Posted February 17, 2013 All Mopar flathead 6's had a large bolt holding the crank flange/pulley onto the crank..........I wouldn't run the engine till I got the bolt on.........from memory its 1 & 13/16th.........andyd 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ptwothree Posted February 18, 2013 Report Share Posted February 18, 2013 I'm just guessin but it seems that the crank pully was installed on 218 engines while the bigger ones got the hub/damper/pulley like Don runs....anyone know for sure. My 218 runs nice and smooth with just the pully hub arrangement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My 218 runs nice and smooth with just the pully hub arrangement. My '33 PD has a damper on its original 190 cu. in. engine. At least in the early 1930s the DeLuxe model Plymouths got the damper but the Standard/Business/Roadking models got just a pulley. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hairball52 Posted February 19, 2013 Report Share Posted February 19, 2013 All Mopar flathead 6's had a large bolt holding the crank flange/pulley onto the crank..........I wouldn't run the engine till I got the bolt on.........from memory its 1 & 13/16th.........andyd Thanks for the info. I think the car has been driven for yrs. without the bolt. Not by me but the previous owner. I found a bolt at work. 5/8" 1/1/2 inch long NF thread. Can't tell if it fits. Will need to remove the radiator to access. May get rid of the vibration too. I didn't realize it was missing until I changed the rubber mt. It was metal to metal. thought that was the cause of the vibration. Wrong. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
