  1. Here are the pic of three different 1936 Dodge Cars. The Throttle knob is clearly marked with a large silver T. I need enough knobs for 4 vehicles. If you can find a person to reproduce them, I would consider adding to the oder. A larger quantity should make the cost drop. I believe Jpage's head light knob is broken. In the middle of the L should be a Red Garnet it is gone. there is a little tunnel in the stem that allows light from in the switch housing to travel up to the garnet. That is the high beam indicator. The last pic is of a 1936 Dodge Head Light switch showing the High Beam Light. The other is the Head Light Knob it is broken. It is a poor pic but on the switch end are two tips missing is the bent part that hooks it to the switch arm. With out a new Knob assembly I have not spent much time on how to get a broken Knob attached to the switch.
  2. Try Olson Gaskets at info@olsonsgaskets.com 360-871-1207 Washington state Frank
  3. I live in Ridgefield Washington. How close are you?? I have a 2 Door 1926 Dodge. All rusty, wood shot. It is a Fisher body. It would need to be transported in a enclosed trailer. I could part with it for a price. Frank
  4. Do not take the lower bolts out. They are concentric and you will change the contact points of the shoes. AMCO and other brake company's made special tools to realign the new shoes to the drum. The brakes work so well on these vehicles because they are rely on full contact of the shoe with the drum. If you put thick brake lining on you have changed the size of the circle they make. If you turn the break drum you have changed the size of the circle. That bottom bolt will change the size of the Circle the shoes make to composite for the new size. Because you do not have the tools your Brake relining place should be able to do the work for you. Have your shoes relined with thick lining. Have them turn the Drums. Then have them grind the shoes to fit the new Drum size. I have looked for many years for the fancy tool that will set the Concentric. No real luck yet. attached is a pic of the tool I made to do the job. It bolts on your spindle or axle with the nut that came with the car. put your new shoes on and sweep the arm ,adjust the concentric bolt till they are round. At first this will take you about a hour to get your system down. Then maybe 10 min for the others. Good Luck Frank
  5. I have a never restored 1926 2 Door body by fisher. I have most all parts it needs everything restored
  6. Keith My engine is the original Flat head 6. The Ring and Pinion gears are the original ones that came with the car. The Business Coupe is faster than the 4 Door Sedan at the same R.P.M. I can only go 55M.P.H. in the Sedan and get 20 M.P.G. No over Drives. Points, Timing and Carburation are correct. The only trick I used is 700 X 16 tires on the rear. Frank
  7. I drive this 1936 Dodge every day there is not Ice and Snow on the ground. The Wipers work just fine up hill, the roof does not leak. The worst time is stuck in heavy city traffic on a 90*plus day. She is bloody hot. I travel 60M.P.H. on the Free way and get 20 M.P.G.
  8. To defeat the Anti Theft System. On the inside of the fire wall bend back the tabs and pull back the Big sawser and armored Cable housing. un bolt the wire from the back of the coil. Look for a hot all the time wire at the back of the Amp Gauge. Jumper wire to on/off Toggle Switch Jumper wire to Back of coil. She should start. If You are in a hurry carry a extra coil. Complete with jumper wires and a pice of bailing wire for a mount. Open hood wire coil to radiator support rod. Cut the Wire coming out of the Car's Coil splice it to the positive side of you coil. Take the negative side down to the Battery terminal on the starter. Jump in and start her up. All of this should take you about 2 minutes. Remember the owner and his Shotgun are just around the Connor. Frank
  9. jpage All of my old and rebuilt/new pumps have the hole. Even the gaskets have the hole. If they replaced the back plate they forgot it. Frank
  10. So, how do you contact Weekley's then??
  11. I am looking for a 1936 Dodge Head Light Switch Knob
  12. The picture is only 1/2 of the car there is 6 of them. one on each mounting bolt. My Coupe did not have any
