  1. I changed out the 216 engine in my 1951 Chevrolet and installed a 235 engine. Now, the throw out bearing doesn't push the pressure plate enough to allow shifting gears. I fabricated an extra long clutch fork rod but still no shift. All parts worked fine in the old 216 set up. Is there some type of special clutch fork rod used for this swap. All help greatly appreciated.
  2. How can I go about getting a title for a recent barn find 1935 Dodge? The seller has no paperwork and the car is located in Illinois. I am in RI which now demands a title for all out-of-state cars, no matter what the age. (Real friendly state!). I know that the Vermont registration method was recently closed down and can no longer be used. All suggestions greatly appreciated
  3. My 1920 Maxwell need the pressure plate rebuilt. I would greatly appreciate a recommendation for this service. TY!
  4. I'm the original seller. I found the missing window trim and front crank panel. If you can use them, message me, selling dirt cheap.

    Piston rings

    Looking for a source for piston rings for my 27 Star automobile, 6 cylinder engine.
  6. Need the top portion/shift fork and tower part of a DB transmission (1924). I have one that is missing that piece
  7. I was very careful to install the disc correctly but I don't think it's possible to install it backwards
  8. I replaced the tired 216 engine in my 1951 Chevy with a later 50's 235 engine. I used my original bell housing, flywheel, pressure plate and throw out bearing, and original linkages, All seemed to go well but now I can't shift into gear. I adjusted the clutch linkage for max length but still not enough. tHERE IS AT LEAST A COUPLE OF INCHES FREE PLAY, TOO. Has anyone else encountered this problem?
  9. want to buy: one rim with the center hub cap clips for my 1951 Chevy Styline.
  10. 1922 DB sedan parts car or project;. Complete car. solid body with the exception of the r side fender and splash apron which are rotted. Surface rust. Missing two window glass, several others are cracked. Roof is in good shape. Doors bottoms and floors all solid. Transmission and multi disc clutch stored on back floor, Trans is missing the shifter top. I had the car running (by hand cranking ) briefly with gas in the primer cups. Starter works , chain not hooked up. Well worth the price for the parts alone. A project I will never get to, due to time and age. Priced for quick sale. No title, only bill of sale. located in RI Buyer is responsible for all pick up arrangements and associated costs. LOCATED IN RI.
  11. Recently acquired a 53 Plymouth with Hi Drive transmission. From what I've read, it seems that the engine and trans share the same oil (sort of like a Model T) and that an oil change involves 11 quarts. Is this actually true? If so, does this involve draining the torque converter, assuming it has one? Also, what is the recommended weight oil? All responses greatly appreciated. Thanks!

  13. I appreciate your input, Rusty. This car won't win any trophies but it's a nice driver.
