my lucky day!

[austinsailor]

there was a big local car parts auction here last week, but I was out of town. How could that be lucky?

There were some mopar parts nobody wanted, they were going to toss them. my local machinist knows that is my deal, so he grabbed them and gave them to me today. 3.54 ring and pinion, a new synconizer set, a pilot shaft ( next clutch should be easier) a 20's or early 30's sector, and more.

I'll post part numbers later and hopefully see what they fit.

very early sector gear # 261550cx

pilotshaft #864008 (probably fluid drive)

2 headlight buckets# 863807

1 headlight bucket 854797

syncronizer #684705

2 pulleys #633734

A good way to find out what each is for is to go to this webiste and put in (copy and paste) the numbers. If they have the number it will indicate what each is for and usually gives a good idea of price if you want to sell or ebay them. http://www.collectorsautosupply.com/search/index.htm

Thanks. That finds all but the headlight buckets.

Got a picture of the buckets? Are they like 30s style that would be painted and external to the fender or just the retainer style inside the fender?

I'll get pictures, maybe later tonight. Two pairs, both go in the fender, one has a place for the parking light on top. Numbers didn't come up on that parts locater thing above.

I got some pictures but can't post from the iPhone. I did see that it's not a place for a parking light, just a flat spot on one side/top/bottom.

steering sector was a 31- 33 or so Plymouth, syncros were 35

- 39 Plymouth. Wish I still had my 35 Plymouth coupe to use them in.
