leaf spring silent block

[Plymouthy Adams]

I'd go with cork rubberized cork will work as well...your call, the chest is high on the block, there is sufficient valley/sump within that there is really little worry of flooded with oil and leaking like a sieve.

A suggestion when replacing these valve cover gaskets on a mopar side valve.......clean the plates really well, then use contact or super glue to glue the gaskets onto the metal plates, will help to ensure the gaskets don't move when the plates are attached n the bolts should not be over tightened, just done up enough to ensure an oil tight seal............lol....andyd

The spring plug like things?

 

The plug like things shown on the bottom of that are just that-plugs - - Installed after springs were drilled and greased with a needle type grease fitting and the plugs were installed to seal the holes until the next spring greasing job. They did not come pre -drilled. Done at the dealer or home. Possibly listed in the parts list, I imagine could be on the accessories  page ?

 

I saw this way in the past in a 1946-54 repair manual that I no longer have- passed on with the Ply. 4 dr. I sold to a friend.

 

I still have to learn how to drag pics from earlier pictures that were on a different page. Were are now on page two here. The picture was near the end on page one of this topic.

 

To replace the bolt that has the round head in that pic that a regular bolt and grind the head to a round shape that fits will into the hole of the rear end mounting from where if came out. The threaded end can be cut to length as needed. A grade 5 or 8 fine threaded bolt will work fine. Have done this several times.
