Finally.... Some photos of my 52 Dodge Coronet

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

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

Great looking car! I really like the color and that it's a club coupe. Seems you hardly ever see the 1951-52 dodges.

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.

Very nice Dodge. Do you happen to have a photo of where the other end of the wire to the choke is connected to?

It didn't work.

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.

Hey, nice ride there. Even the classy visor. And ...... red is better than blue. :) (referencing something in the background)

Hey... just caught the reference to the blue in the background...  That's my 49 Ford two Door Custom... I agree, the Dodge is more classy.... Bob
