Bobandy Posted February 20, 2016 Report Posted February 20, 2016 Hey, It's only been a year... maybe close to two years, but finally I'm sharing a few photos of my Dodge... I've also included a single photo of my recently repaired choke with a now working electromagnetic coil (replaced by a coil from a starter solenoid)... Bob 6 Quote

Tony_Urwin Posted February 20, 2016 Report Posted February 20, 2016 I like the color too. What is it? Quote
Bobandy Posted February 20, 2016 Author Report Posted February 20, 2016 I like the color too. What is it? I call it "Maroon"... A previous owner did the basic re-store and didn't provide a lot of details. I've change out the Gyro-matic for a 3pd Std and retained the Fluid Drive. I've put a fuel pump on it, replaced the manifold gaskets and rebuilt the choke. It needs a total front end rebuilt. At my age, I'm hoping to get a grand son to help me with the front end rebuild. He doesn't know that yet. Bob Quote
40phil41 Posted February 22, 2016 Report Posted February 22, 2016 Very nice Dodge. Do you happen to have a photo of where the other end of the wire to the choke is connected to? Phil Quote
49DODGEBOY Posted February 22, 2016 Report Posted February 22, 2016 very nice, luv the subtle changes year to year. Luv the RAM HORN hood ornament. Quote
Dodgeb4ya Posted February 23, 2016 Report Posted February 23, 2016 Great looking car! I really like the color and that it's a club coupe. Seems you hardly ever see the 1951-52 dodges. Quote
Bobandy Posted February 23, 2016 Author Report Posted February 23, 2016 Phil, I'm still learning about posts... Not sure I can add the photo... anyway, the other end of the wire is attached to the starter side of the starter solenoid. At least that's where I attached it. The choke coil should receive current at the same time the starter receives current . I think I got it added finally... When I see this solenoid, I'm embarrassed that I haven't changed it. Anyway, you see where the other end is attached. It could also be attached at the starter end of the big wire going to the starter. Was less effort to attach it where I placed it. Quote

Dodgeb4ya Posted February 23, 2016 Report Posted February 23, 2016 The choke wire starts at the starter motor battery cable stud then on to the choke. The Sisson choke unit only oprates when the starter motor operates. Quote
