I think I need a new water distribution tube (new thermostat and hoses, overheats at about 5 miles). I've been looking at multiple threads on this, and I have a few questions that you may be able to answer.
1. Would pulling the head give me any better access to it? (I hope to do this without pulling the engine).
2. After reading multiple threads about different removal tools, I've got a plan, but would like to know the diameter of the holes so that I have some idea how to fabricate the hook.

(1950 Windsor)

On the enclosed picture of a trial fit they stand clearly without anything bolted into them, as I have no clue to what to fit. The firewall insulation does not have any corresponding holes indicating they are there only to mount something inside the engine compartment. There is however only about 1" clearance to the engine head at the location, so it cannot be anything substantial?

Good theories are encouraged.

The leak is not in the Fluid Drive unit, but the 4 speed gear box at the rear most housing, just ahead of the parking brake. This housing is made up of two pieces - one bolt on to another to make up the rear of the gear box. The leak is confined to the larger housing and gasket.


The oil collects at the bottom of the built in oil strainer and it leaks onto the parking brake/shoes.


I have removed the strainer cover and replaced the seal - and its not leaking.


Has anyone removed the rear housing? If so, what should I expect?


Are springs and things going to fly out or is this an easy job where the cover comes off and the new gasket goes on?


Thanks,
David in Santa Cruz.

What I don't know is what it looks like and how it attaches at the wiper end. I also don't know if this is the same as other years.

I've attached a photo of where it goes on my car. Original Chrysler part number is:



"Windshield wiper blade guide rod: 758404"

also used only on the convertibles are (among all the other specific parts they have):


"Windshield wiper arm assembly: 753544"
"Windshield wiper blade: 753754"


I really would like to find at least one guide rod and wiper arm and blade set (a pair would be great), but what I am asking for now is if anyone has ever seen any or has any photos of these so I can see how it all works together. I'd take measurements and make my own if I need to. I'm pretty sure it's to articulate the blade so it doesn't end up on the chrome windshield frame or the body. It seems every picture I've found of one of these cars, they are missing, but sometimes the little chrome tab is still there. ]]> Chrysler/Mopar RSayak http://forums.aaca.org/f145/mopar-convertible-wiper-guide-rod-350204.html Chrysler 300 parts on eBay http://forums.aaca.org/f145/chrysler-300-parts-ebay-350201.html Tue, 30 Apr 2013 02:16:44 GMT 1955 Chrysler 300 Complete Side Trim Set Moulding Imerial Very Nice 331 Hemi | eBay... 1955 Chrysler 300 Complete Side Trim Set Moulding Imerial Very Nice 331 Hemi | eBay

It is a CA car, I am purchasing it from the original owner's estate, owner passed away in 2007, the car has been stored indoors since '07\'08, the last tags on the car expired June 1994, the car was garaged, I have no keys, the body is straight and the paint is in good condition (once you wipe all the dust and spider webs off). rodent's have been in the engine compartment, but the wiring appears to be in tact, the armrests need help, the chrome is good but starting to pit, the glass is good, and no rust.

I have a couple mechanic friends that work for smoked ribs, pulled pork, & diet coke. I'm so lucky.

When I get it home the first thing I'm going to work on is cleaning up the fuel system. I will replace the fuel pump & filter; any recommendations for a pump & filter?

I think I can tune up the carb to get the car running, but may need to rebuild or replace: again, any recommendations for parts kits or replacement carb?

It needs a battery: suggestions?

This is my starting point. As part of the fuel system once over, I'm changing all the fluids. Then I'll see if the engine is seized.

Any other advise at this point is appreciated.

Hi all, (1949 Desoto S-13)

Does anyone have an idea or experienced a MOPAR flathead six that stalls under very hard braking from say 25 or 30 MPH? This car has a flathead six, a fluid coupling, and a m6 Trans. The dashpot magnet is working, however, I cannot tell if the inside of the carburetor part of the dashpot is working.

After a day of testing...we ruled out:

1. Carburetor float bowl or sloshing.
2. Intake gasket leaking.
3. Electric Dash Pot - Anti-stall.
4. Carb switch.
5. Vacuum Booster.
6. Idle speed.

What it looks like is the Interrupter Circuit on the transmission. When I take off in high range and keep the car below 25 MPH so the governor does not kick-in...and it stays in 3rd (or 1st in low range)
...then I hit the brakes hard the car stops and the engine is running fine.

If the car is allowed to shift into high range (2nd or 4th gear) and you hit the brakes hard, the engine stalls just as you come to a stop.

Something in the interrupter circuit on deceleration is causing the interrupter circuit to ground the coil longer that a split second.

I tired two NOS switches, as well as an old beat up one. The NOS switches do it every time. The old switch, which does not always make contact, when used allows the car to stop without stalling then I get the big clunk as it downshifts very very late.

I am wondering if there is an issue with the piston or spring in the trans.
Perhaps the forward momentum with hard braking due to the power assist 4 wheel disc brakes is causing the piston and rail to push back to the rear too slow and hold the coil ground too long ?????

There is an intriguing statement on one of the manuals on the imperial web site that also makes me wonder if it could be a lack of current problem.
How the Hydraulically Operated Transmission Operates (Session 23) from the Master Technician's Service Conference

This car is a frame up with all new wires, good grounds, and the like. I do run a set of modern Russell spark plug wires and the issues of reverse current flow and high resistance in the secondary ignition system may be playing a part.
Any thoughts from M6 Trans experts welcome.
