Tom Skinner Posted January 18, 2011 Report Share Posted January 18, 2011 I nabbed these babies last week on ebay. A complete Fluid Drive Kit for 1942-1949 Chryslers. All Miller Tools.

knuckleharley Posted January 18, 2011 Report Share Posted January 18, 2011 I have the matching engine analyzer and the starter/generator tester,too. I even have the device you stick up a tailpipe to check the exhaust. I couldn't find a photo of one of my handiest tools,my 10,000 lb diesel loader with the big bucket that will pick 3500 lbs 10 feet up in the air. Tools just don't get any handier than that thing when you are pulling engines and transmissions out of junkers out in the yard and then loading them on a trailer to haul to the crusher. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

james curl Posted July 15, 2011 Report Share Posted July 15, 2011 Tim Adams, I haven't seen an on car wheel balancer since I was in High School. Our local Chrysler/Plymouth dealer had one and we used to balance our wheels and tires on the car. When done right the ride was much smoother than just balancing the wheel and tire off of the car as the whole rotating assembly got balanced.

P-12 Tommy Posted July 15, 2011 Report Share Posted July 15, 2011 The old bubble balancer was a piece-o-crap. But at one time that was all ya had. Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plymouthy Adams Posted July 16, 2011 Report Share Posted July 16, 2011 I have used the bubble balancerto smooth out tires that the electronic balancers could not..in that I will not say the ride they had was not smooth but at two point there was usually a harmonic vibration felt at two more common speeds..usuall between the 42 and 45 MPH and again at 72-75 with the electronic balancers..properly used the 4 weight static balance as done on a "quality" bubble balancer is hard to beat..i use my Micro brand all the time..it is even sensitive enough that you can balance a rim without a tire mounted..

Young Ed Posted July 22, 2011 Report Share Posted July 22, 2011 I paid about $40 bucks for the 4 wrenches. These are the ones I got except my 3/8s and 7/16s are a double ended wrench. http://buy1.snapon.com/catalog/item.asp?P65=&tool=all&item_ID=274&group_ID=571&store=snapon-store&dir=catalog Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Young Ed Posted July 22, 2011 Report Share Posted July 22, 2011 You got a good deal. They looked good in the pictures hopefully when they get here they haven't been abused. As long as you only use them for brass flare fittings as intended they should last forever. I was going to buy new ones from Craftsman but they don't make the single ones with the extra think open end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was going to buy new ones from Craftsman but they don't make the single ones with the extra think open end. I used such tools on the brake and fuel lines on my car and the only brass fitting I recall is the "T" in my fuel line. Everything else was steel fittings with the exception of the carburetor vacuum advance stuff.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cpt.Fred Posted July 22, 2011 Report Share Posted July 22, 2011 i used the same t-fittings on my car... makes you wonder if they don't fabricate anything that looks a little less modern. same problem with hose clamps: nobody has decent looking ones any more! i'm really glad i still have a lot of the original ones on my car, but i wish i had more of them. next thing i do is change the fuel hoses to metal lines like on your photo, don. did you add coils for flexibility to allow the engine to move?

Don Coatney Posted July 22, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 22, 2011 don. did you add coils for flexibility to allow the engine to move? I am using a mechanical fuel pump connected to the engine block. No need for flexibility coils as the fuel line moves with the engine.

Cpt.Fred Posted July 22, 2011 Report Share Posted July 22, 2011 oh, right... i dropped the pump on mine and my fuel support runs across the fire wall behind the engine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
