T120 Posted February 4, 2014 Report Posted February 4, 2014 As for the part number,Shel is correct - according to "M0PAR STREAMLINER" (1949) the number is the same for both the 1939 Dodge and Desoto (853 295). 1 Quote
JR-39D11 Posted February 4, 2014 Report Posted February 4, 2014 I also highly recommend any older original lighting switch to be wired to operate a relay for the headlamps so to remove all the high current from the inner contacts of the switch..this relay and proper placement between the supply voltage and the input to the headlight dimmer will allows for use of only one relay and give the switch an extended life.. Would you be able to give me a pointer on how wire this configuration. I have a vintage relay, schematics, ohm and voltage tester but I'm not sure I have the right understanding of how to wire the switch to work through a relay. Would I need to change how its wired at the switch or dimmer? Quote
Plymouthy Adams Posted February 4, 2014 Report Posted February 4, 2014 with all dues respect, this is about as simple of a wiring modification one can do to their car's wiring. The relay wiring is per the actual relay you choose to use...also per the switch pin -out you have or plan to use...you need only to remember that the light switch will power up the relay, the relay will transfer power from the battery through a circuit breaker to the relay (protects relay and wiring) to the input of the dimmer switch. Not to cut you short mind you with this answer but I cannot in any manner give you a point to point on unknown components. again, relay inline, coil voltage picked up by headlight switch, headlight power and transfer direct from the battery through a protective breaker and straight to the input of your dimmer switch, Quote

Jim Yergin Posted February 4, 2014 Report Posted February 4, 2014 Chet, who is a member of this forum, years ago, kindly scanned and posted the 1936-1948 Plymouth Parts Book on his web site.

BHuyett Posted December 25, 2015 Report Posted December 25, 2015 I have a part number for a seal I need. It is MOPAR #653194. I just need to know where I can buy it. Thanks for any help Quote

BHuyett Posted January 2, 2016 Report Posted January 2, 2016 Any advice on how to put this seal on the tube? I took the cover plate off and the tube is attached to the plate at the end of the steering column. The tube is too long and I can't slide the cover and tube out of the steering gear box because it hits on the frame. I could split the seal and put it on the tube but that seems to be defeating the idea. Any help would be greatly appreciated. This is a 50 plymouth special deluxe that I am trying to put this seal on. I haven't ordered the seal yet because Arizonaparts said they would be closed until the middle of January. Thanks, Quote
_shel_ny Posted January 2, 2016 Report Posted January 2, 2016 Don't know anything about the install. Have not done it. May require removal from the vehicle to be done. Arizonaparts will likely be old stock leather. If you go with that one be sure to soak the leather well before installing to get a good fit. If the Timken, or National seals spec out to the right size they may be a better way. Neoprene, or nitrile lip. Available Rock Auto, Advance, Auto Zone, O'Reilly, NAPA, and probably the local "mom n pop". (and ebay if you want to pay 2 to 4 times as much) Quote
BHuyett Posted January 3, 2016 Report Posted January 3, 2016 I will try the Timken or National. I agree, even though I like to keep things close to original I have to believe Neoprene would be much better. Thanks, Quote
thebeebe5 Posted February 21, 2016 Report Posted February 21, 2016 Could someone provide me with a part number for the inner wheel bearing seal for a 1937 Plymouth coupe please? It's the one you drive in after the ineer bearing is packed and iin place. Just hoping to find seals locally rather than ordering online, and the original seals (or whatever very old seals I took off yesterday) had no part number at all. Thank you! Quote

I'll look through the info. Thanks for the reminder! EDIT: I don't see any reference to the inner bearing seal. I'll see what NAPA has for information tomorrow.

EDIT: I don't see any reference to the inner bearing seal. I'll see what NAPA has for information tomorrow. That may be because you are thinking like a person, not like a Chrysler parts engineer. Front wheel bearing stuff is not in the front or rear axle groups in the parts book but rather in group 22, wheels. I think the part you are looking for is part group 22-06-18 "Front wheel hub dust seal assembly". For 1937 through 1948 that would be part 668479 which I think crosses to NAPA NOS 17145. See: http://www.ply33.com/Parts/group22#22-06-18 And: http://www.ply33.com/Parts/group22#668479 2 Quote

I'll see that NAPA has for these seals you list and find out if they'll be correct. Quote

christianad1156 Posted May 13, 2020 Report Posted May 13, 2020 I'm very new to this forum so forgive me if I'm asking something that may have already been answered that I haven't found yet. Is there any interest or does something already exist where folks can search a library of scanned documents in one location. I saw the idea brought up earlier in this thread but I don't know if there was any traction. For example, I scanned the 1948 Chrysler parts book for myself. I have the files available and don't mind posting it somewhere. I've found that what a lot of folks have posted already has helped me a ton and I "collect" electronic versions of as many resources as I can for my 1948 Chrysler Windsor. If anybody can point me in the right direction, please do. Perhaps it is a club or a website that I haven't found yet but I'd like to contribute and see what else is out there. I like the idea of getting a few folks in on chipping in on buying and scanning documents but I imagine it might be too tough if the documents are not specific enough to apply to everyone. I also have hardcopies of some original autolite books and supersedence manuals that I haven't found reprints of or found electronically. Thanks, Christian Quote
