I was told...that it is a 33 Dodge....but some tell me 34 Dodge(because of the dash)...others Plymouth 5 window coupe.

The current title(33 Dodge) shows a fairly long VIN....but cannot find it anywhere on the body/chassis...



There is a plate w/ stamped #s on the firewall....and a serial # on the B pillar (9326166)



The body/frame + parts are currently for sale....



Any information would be greatly appreciated.



Cheers,

Ash...]]> http://www.classiccar.com/forum/discussion/75856/727-2nd-gear-slip Fri, 18 Apr 2008 01:03:13 +0000 kbanek 75856@/forum/discussions

Total newbie and mostly ignorant.

My question concerns the use of I-Beam suspension on Chrysler Products.

I recently acquired two old front axles and the first I found to be from a 34 Ford, the second I have been TOLD is from a Dodge of some sort. It is a standard I-Beam with the small pattern five lug wheel pattern. The flat spot where the leaf springs mount has a five hole pattern which looks like the "5" on a dice. I have been told by some people that Dodge used mainly tube axles before going to independent front suspension so what could this possibly have been under?

Was there a time period where Dodge cars and pickups used I-Beams? If so what years would this have been? Thanks for any help and good to be on the forum.

I am new to this forum so hello everyone and hopefully i'll be able to gain alot of knowledge here...

So as the title states i own a 1966 Chrysler Windsor convertible.

I've had the vehicule for about 6 years now.

I would like to put on some rims but have no idea what size and bolt pattern etc i would need.

I have called a local chrysler dealer but they have no idea as well...

If anyone can help me out with this or point me in the right direction i would be more then greatful.

As well as a place where i can find parts for my vehicule. I have a few things that have broken over the years (armrest,lettering on the hood etc) that i would like to buy.

I understand that this car is not a very popular classic but i love her and i would love to fix her up a little.

Essentially though for now i would like to put on some rims...

So if anyone can help me out with what size rims (bolt pattern, et ,width etc) it would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you all again for taking the time to read this and hopefully help me out.]]> http://www.classiccar.com/forum/discussion/78887/46-dodge-generator-to-alternator-conversion Sun, 01 Jun 2008 19:39:50 +0000 trukido 78887@/forum/discussions http://www.classiccar.com/forum/discussion/78260/1948-chrysler-nyer-radiator Thu, 22 May 2008 14:32:55 +0000 hudson1948 78260@/forum/discussions http://www.classiccar.com/forum/discussion/77588/61-d100-wheel-cylinder Mon, 12 May 2008 16:09:18 +0000 Squalus44 77588@/forum/discussions http://www.classiccar.com/forum/discussion/77082/worm-gear-for-1940-plymouth Mon, 05 May 2008 21:34:12 +0000 kdedner 77082@/forum/discussions


I just got a 1940 Plymouth. It runs great! But, I have about 8 cm of play in the steering wheel. I foundly found someone who could diagnose it. He tells me I need a worm gear. Does anyone know where I can find this part. I would really like to enjoy the car before it gets too hot! I live in the south...

The other question is can other fluids such as motor oil, tran fluid go bad just sitting?



Lastly should I take out the plugs spray oil or something in and put them back?



Like I said it's already sat for several months so I may have already ruined it.

But it just hit me today that MY first car (74 mercury comet) required leaded gas. Anyone know if a '74 Dart will need the fuel additive? Is that stuff even available any more? It's a 318 engine.

I own a 65 Chrysler 300 non letter sedan hardtop. 84,000 original miles. My Grandfather was the other owner and then he gave it to me. Hope to have a lot of fun talking with evryone and not bore you to badly with my stories. My spelling is rather poor so just go fonic and it should help.



I am looking for a good place to get parts. Right now the only two I need are the water bottle for the wipers and on small part of chrome trim.

the motor is a 1967 383.... this is internally balanced, correct?



i put a 1978 non-lockup 727 trans with a 1974 torque converter that appears to be externally balanced b/c of the weights welded on (two of them) around the rim.



will running this set up cause any problems (with balancing or other issues)? and if so, can i just grind the weights off to make a quick fix?]]> http://www.classiccar.com/forum/discussion/75409/dodge-dart-for-teenager Sat, 12 Apr 2008 02:19:11 +0000 merlinj79 75409@/forum/discussions


My 15 year old wants a Dart for his first car. I'm pretty versatile with mechanicals from that era, and like the idea of something we can actually work on together but I'm concerned with safety of course. Originally, he wanted an aircooled VW but I had to nix that for safety reasons.



Anyone know where the Dart stands re. crashworthy-ness? Obviously it's a 70's vehicle, but any known defects or does it have a bad reputation?



Also, how available are the parts? Mainly concerned with basic driveline stuff, not so much resto parts.



Thanks for any input.]]> http://www.classiccar.com/forum/discussion/72556/1965-1966-imperials Wed, 05 Mar 2008 14:47:00 +0000 Carpics 72556@/forum/discussions


I photograph antique/classic cars for various publications. Right now I am looking for:



1965 Imperial -- Crown Convertible

1966 Imperial -- Crown 2-door and 4-door Hardtop; Crown Convertible;

LeBaron 4-door Hardtop



Does anyone on this board know of, or have, one or more of these cars that they would be willing to have photographed for publication? Apparently, they are among the more elusive of Imperial models.



Thank you

I am in need of some technical expertise. My plymouth was running fine today but after I let it sit for about an hour and tried to start it backup it started acting like the battery was dying. It eventually just clicked and nothing else but the lights are working. I was able to charge the battery but it still won't start. It turns the engine ever so slighty but, for example the fan will only spin about 20 degrees and then stop. I'm trying to narrow down the problem can anyone help?

I appreciate the input on my problems with my car. We did what you suggested...the timing chain appears to be alright. We removed the distributor cap, marked the rotor, turned over the engine, the rotor is moving.

The valves work off the lifters. 5 cylinders or dead. All of the intake valves would not open at the same time. Am I right? Does anyone know if there is anything electrical that would cause this to act this way. Or if there might be a safety wire to keep it from starting because of something else that could be wrong? What about a cover on the exauhst coming from under the carbeurator that opens & closes. We were told to put WD-40 on that because it looked a little stiff, maybe it isn't supposed to open & close that easily?

Any suggestions would be a help!!

Thanks.

We re-checked the compression on our 1950 Dodge. We had a faulty compression checker.

We only have 70lbs of pressure in the #3 cylinder, the rest have no compression. Any opinions on the timing chain, or head gasket? The car was running fine until turning off the engine.

Thanks!

I have a 1969 300 and have a problem with either the fuel gauge or the sending unit. When I fill the tank the gauge only goes up to 3/4 tank. it seems to work ok from there but moves as if it thinks the tank is full (eg, does not sit @ 3/4 for 60-70 miles but starts to move a short time after the car is full, so obviously the reading is off by 1/4 tank). I am not sure which to check first or how to test either part but would prob start with the gauge since it is the easier of the two to work on.



Does anyone have any suggestions?

Does anyone know where to find 10 weight motor oil? The gyromatic transmission in my 1950 Dodge Coronet requires this. The shop manual specifically says to use only 10 weight. The stores around here don't seem to carry, and more don't seem to know anything about it.
