Cpt.Fred Posted April 18, 2016 Report Posted April 18, 2016 Hi all, i am looking for closeup pictures of the original carb linkage setup on a 1940 P10 US model. the things i am looking for are happening under the wire loom, so if someone here has relevant pictures or, even better, owns one and would be willing to help me out it would be greatly appreciated! here you can see what i am looking for exactly: i am swapping one of these linkages over to a long block and need to know how exactly the 90° direction change was assembled originally... i don't find any drawings in my books here and all the pics i have or found online have the wire loom in the way, hiding the important parts. thanks a lot!

Don Coatney Posted April 18, 2016 Report Posted April 18, 2016 This might or might not help. Only picture I have. This was taken at a car show several years ago. 1 Quote
Cpt.Fred Posted April 19, 2016 Author Report Posted April 19, 2016 Thanks, Don! That's way better than everything i have found so far. Looks like i'm not completely off with mine, but still looks a little different, angles and all... anyone else? Quote
Don Coatney Posted April 19, 2016 Report Posted April 19, 2016 Thanks, Don! That's way better than everything i have found so far. Looks like i'm not completely off with mine, but still looks a little different, angles and all... anyone else? Hope the photo is helpful. How is the engine replacement going? I have not seen any reports about it on the forum. Quote
Cpt.Fred Posted April 19, 2016 Author Report Posted April 19, 2016 (edited) The worst is over, i hope. Working the details now... It's over on the AoK-Blog this time since George Asche built the engine and OD trans for this one. http://p15-d24.com/blog/17/entry-107-das-boot-going-the-long-block-route-with-a-1940-plymouth-sedan/#commentsStart Edited April 19, 2016 by Cpt.Fred Quote
T120 Posted April 19, 2016 Report Posted April 19, 2016 Similar to what you have shown -1941 Dodge linkage.. Quote
Cpt.Fred Posted April 19, 2016 Author Report Posted April 19, 2016 Beautiful, we have a winner! That's close enough, all i need to be sure. Thanks a lot! Problem solved. Quote
Dave72dt Posted April 19, 2016 Report Posted April 19, 2016 Maybe I'm being picky but referring to Don's first pic in post #2 is an example of improper use of silicone sealer. Chances are as much squeezed out on the inside as is on the outside of the thermostat housing. You do not need silicone chunks floating around inside the cooling system. At the least, take a razor knife to the excess on the outside of the housing and trim it off after it has cured. 1 Quote
Bmartin Posted April 19, 2016 Report Posted April 19, 2016 I'm at work now Fred, but feel free to PM me for more pics or questions. I have before and after pics of what I did to make it all work. Quote
