  1. Sorry, no I do not. I am sure there must be some wrecking yards in which you could find what you need. Phil

  3. Thanks very much for posting the photos. This is a show I normally attend but had to miss this year due to surgery. Much appreciated.
  4. My 40 and 41 Dodges use a different small gear in the transmission where the speedometer cable attaches for different differential ratios Don’t know if yours is the same or not.
  5. I took this photo of my Corvair several years ago near Parry Sound Ontario. Looks like a few of you guys need a similar road sign.
  6. On my 40 and 41 Dodges the drivers side inside door handle pulls up to lock and down to unlock. Not sure if your 52 is the same or not. Phil
  7. Attached is a photo from my Canadian Master Parts Book (covers MOPARS from 1940 to 1947). Based upon this, the last year for a 'Radiator Shell Crank Hole Cover' is as follows: Dodge and Plymouth - 1941 Chrysler - 1940 Desoto - before 1940 (my book starts in 1940 and doesn't list a part number for Desoto) Here is a photo of my 1941 Dodge (D20 Canadian) crank hole cover. I am not going to take it out for a photo op because I do not want to break the spring clips :-).
  8. I can only speak for my two cars (Dodges) but I would be very surprised if Plymouth, Desoto and Chrysler were any different. I'll check my Mopar parts book tomorrow.
  9. Both my 1940 and 1941 Dodge cars have crank holes with snap in covers. I have never seen an actual crank handle for these cars.
  10. My guess is 1932 De Vaux. 6 cyl continental engine with 17 in wheels. Phil
  11. On my '65 Corvair some replacement point sets had rubbing blocks that wore down prematurley resulting in the points gradually closing. I suspect that you don't have enough running time on this engine for this to be the case. Unless the distributor cam surface wasn't lubricated! Easy enough to check. Phil
  12. fyi, The Ontario Region and the Ottawa Capitol Region appear twice. Phil
  13. That's a PB1/2 oil filter. The same as on my '41 Dodge. They were available from Andy Bernbaum MOPAR Parts a few years ago. Worth a check there. Here is a link to the filter https://www.oldmoparts.com/parts/l_engine/oil-filter-sealed-can/ Phil
  14. Matt, I know nothing about this engine but are you sure the idler gear goes outwards in the direction of your arrow? What if you turn the gears so that the slider slot is parallel with the casing and then move the idle at an angle towards the bottom gear. This will put the idler closer to the center and hence the chain will be looser. Please ignore if I am out to lunch. Phil
  15. My 1940 Dodge was purchased by my wife's grandfather as a 6 month old used car in 1940. He drove it until 1956 when it was taken off the road and became a farm play vehicle for my wife's cousins on their fruit farm. First photo was taken in either 1944 or 1945 with my wife's Aunt. The second photo was taken in 1968 by me just before I pulled it out of the field where it had died. The last photo was taken in 2006 (after I finally got it back on the road) within 20 ft of the very spot where it had been in 1968.
