desoto1939 Posted March 2, 2011 Report Posted March 2, 2011 Attached is a copy of the ever missing instruction sheet on how to install the MoPar Evr-Dry Shielding Service Package. Of specila note is that you do not use the copper gasket that is on the end of the spark plug. You remove these becasue of the metal mounting bases then fill the space instead of the copper gasket. Also if you have an inline 8 on the 8th cyclinder you can not use the base. This is a very special sheet that you would need to have at an AACA event to show to the judges to indicate why the maounting base is not onthe 8th spark plug. Enjoy the reading material. rich Hartung Desoto1939@aol.com Everdry Installation Instruction.PDF Quote
Plymouthy Adams Posted March 2, 2011 Report Posted March 2, 2011 Thanks, while back I bought a car that came with a ton on new parts to rebuild the entire car...a set of these were in the inventory..not sure if the instructions were there so I have made a copy of this for the future. Quote
desoto1939 Posted March 2, 2011 Author Report Posted March 2, 2011 Tim, I received the instruction sheet from a friend that attended the AACA convention back in Feb of this year. Sojust passing along info that I feel is useful to the forum members. I also have one of these kits but the instructions were not included. Rich Hartung Quote
Don Coatney Posted March 2, 2011 Report Posted March 2, 2011 A while back I picked up a Spitfire head that used the ever-dry kit. I think is is more like an ever-wet kit. Once the rubber boot developes a leak the steel funnel holds water like a sponge. This head did clean up well but I was not able to save the sparkplugs:rolleyes: Quote
P-12 Tommy Posted March 2, 2011 Report Posted March 2, 2011 Rich, Thanks for the info. Don, Great paint job on the head. Tom Quote

This head did clean up well but I was not able to save the sparkplugs:rolleyes: I wonder if Chrysler expected a new Ever-Dry kit to be installed each time the spark plugs were replaced. Seems like that would be about once a year for they typical car of the era with a normal service period. I would expect the rubber to last about that long but not much longer given the heat, petroleum products and ozone that are found in an engine compartment. Quote
desoto1939 Posted March 2, 2011 Author Report Posted March 2, 2011 hARD TO ANSWER YOU QUESTION dON. But the cars that had the older style buttefly type of hood were the ones that had the most potential of getting water into the sparkplugs holes because of the center hood hinge. And when the coil was mounted in the firewall and there was any moisture this is when they had hard starting. When they moved the coil closer to the dizzy and shorten the wires from the colil to the dizzy cap and had a one piece flat alligator style hood then some the hard starting issues when the wet weather time was around then this issue of water was some what reduced. As i come across more literature I will post things like this. If anyone else has small items if would be good to post tehm for the group. Rich Hartung Quote
Don Coatney Posted March 2, 2011 Report Posted March 2, 2011 Hard to answer your question Don. Rich Hartung Rich; I did not ask a question. I just posted an observation. However the Spitfire head I got came from this Chrysler and I believe it had a one piece hood. But who knows how long it was sitting with the log holding the hood open. Quote
Young Ed Posted March 2, 2011 Report Posted March 2, 2011 Even the first cars with the 1 piece hood still had a seam down the middle that hid the joint of the 2 pieces of metal. Not as easy for water to get it but it does still happen. Quote
bbuswell Posted March 2, 2011 Report Posted March 2, 2011 I purchased one of these kits from Mitchelle Motors and they rubber fell apart after 6 months. Two of them melted and the rest of them rotted away. Quote

Don't you know what a "buttefly" is? Seems like all the newer web browsers highlight misspelled words in text entry boxes. I think Rich has an older browser. Quote
desoto1939 Posted March 3, 2011 Author Report Posted March 3, 2011 Sorry for the misspelled wording. I posted the misspelled word directly on the forum. A buttefly is a fly that landed on the butterdish but was not able to eat any butter and we had to shoo the fly away to make a shoofly cake, Anyone from the PA area will know what i mean by a shoofly cake it is a PA dutch dessert made by the Amish. A Butterfly hood is one in which the hindge was down the center of the hood and it opened like the wings of a butterfly not the aligator style that opened like a mouth. Ok I am not a great speller sorry I will try harder next time. Just joking. Rich Hartung Quote

desoto1939 Posted March 3, 2011 Author Report Posted March 3, 2011 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2HBDnpu5Bl4 Hey Don that was a great find. I can remember seeing Ms Shore on TV when I was a kid. I guess that is telling my age. Quote
Jim Saraceno Posted March 4, 2011 Report Posted March 4, 2011 Ah-ha-ha! Don, that's exactly what went through my brain when I I saw the shoofly cake post! Here's an even better recording... Quote
