Thanks I will call KM

Yes my car was built in Windsor Ont. Your car is supposed to be blue with the 580 paint code as I found out thanks to people from this site, what shade of blue is correct I'm not sure yet. We plan down the road to paint ours blue again

I am replacing the fuel system on our 37 Dodge sedan, does anyone know what the ohm range is on a stock sending unit? My goal is to get all the stock gauges working again instead of going the after market route and I want to get the right sending unit. Thanks

here is one more

The one on the car is like the one in your picture. The one that came in a box has all the chrome wore off but is identical except the horns are not separated. The previous owner thought the brass one was the original ornament off the car, but it looks like they might be mistaken. If it isn't a 37 ornament does anyone know what year it would be?

Just a quick update, I got it all back together and it fired right up and runs strong. 2 weeks ago I borrowed a dealer plate and we took it around town to see it the tranny works. Drove straight and smooth, came home to find the right front brake cylinder had let go and we were leaking trans fluid from the speedo cable, all in all not bad considering it hasn't moved in 20 years. Now going to replace fuel and brake lines and rewire the car with a painless kit and hope to safety the car in the spring. I have 1 question, does anyone know what the 37 hood emblem looks like? I have 2 that came with the car, they are exact except the horns are separated on one and the other they are not, its smooth over the head of the ram. Thanks

Thanks for the info! That is great information. As for your question of the width on the slant six, it fits in there quite well, not much room as you'd expect in the right side of the engine bay because of the slant. I have figured out the motor is a 65 and the trans is a 64 from a Plymouth Vailant. hope to try starting it this weekend or next, I took the head and oil pan off and everything looks healthy. Just a have to finish reassembly

Yes the push rods aren't installed. I pulled the head off today to make sure everything was good with the valves, pistons, etc. and the only problem was cylinders 3&4 have some light rust around the combustion chambers because there was no plugs installed and moisture got in there. Going to clean that up and bolt everything together and spark it up and see what happens

Casting number on the head ids it as a 225. The head is was redone10+ years ago, bolted on but never finished as the owner passed away. I'm going to remove the head this weekend to make sure everything looks good then put it together and turn it over. If the drivetrain is ok we plan for now to run new brake and fuel lines, redo the brakes, new tires then drive it.

Here is a couple more

Hello All, I just bought a 1937 Dodge sedan, I believe a D7 model? I have never owned anything this old but my wife loves the old cars so I bought it for her. Although it has been sitting for a long time it is complete and very solid underneath, just some light surface rust. The original drivetrain is long gone, it was replaced with a 65 push button auto with a 225 slant six in the 70s. Any info and opinions you all can provide are welcome! This is the tag on the fire wall: Body #70 Paint Code 580 Trim Code AHA D74DTRG vin 9477586 Thanks
