Jolly Posted June 25, 2017 Report Share Posted June 25, 2017 (edited) Hello all ! Just found this forum and happy I did. Browsing around it looks like a wealth of information is here about the mopar flathead 6. I just purchased 1940 Chrysler Windsor that won't be delivered until Tuesday. Can't wait to start tinkering with it. Got it at a fire sale price because it has what sounds like a rod knock. Hoping for an easy fix but will deal with whatever it needs to make it reliable. So I will be here picking your's all brains on things I find. Cosmetically exterior and interior is good to go on this. Happy to be driving a cool ride in the near future. I named the car Jolly after the Jolly Green Giant Edited June 25, 2017 by Jolly 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

knuckleharley Posted June 25, 2017 Report Share Posted June 25, 2017 Looks like you scored a nice one to start with. Compared to bodywork,paint,glass,chrome,upholstery,finding missing parts,etc,etc,etc,a rod knock is such a simple fix it's barely worth mentioning.

thebeebe5 Posted June 25, 2017 Report Share Posted June 25, 2017 Man, that's a super sweet looking ride. Love the color! Already mentioned, but going through that motor to fix a "knock" would be the easiest thing to manage in my book. Keep is posted with info and MORE PICTURES!
