  1. It was running fine about 4 weeks before this happened. Gas wasn't that old:-(
  2. I parked the car, running fine. Tried to start it a month later, and it backfired and barely ran. Compression check indicated none in #4 & 5. Took off valve cover, and #4 & 5 exhaust valves stuck. Tapped on #4 and it was like driving a big nail... all it did was go further down. Put liberal amounts of penetrating oil and 3 in 1 oil, and tapped the valve retainer, and the valves remained stuck. Put a pry-bar under the upper spring and tapped for over an hour, no motion. No idea why suddenly two valves would be so stuck? Anyone have an idea. Can you remove the head without taking off the radiator (the last time I did a Chev 6 was 1969, on a bare chassis which was easy... this is in a restored car.) Any idea in re best values in parts/sources?? Thanks, Tom
  3. any ideas about what this is???
  4. My 1931 "Chrysler Six Instrction Manual" lists 14 tools (pg 74) that came with the car. Does anyone have a picture of them/one/any of them. I have the car, but not 1 attributable tool. :-( that'l be the next project...

I have what appears to be NOS or otherwise nearly perfect rocker molding (94")for Chrysler products (I think 46-48 C-39), what I need is 87" NOS rocker molding for the 46-48 Chrysler C-38 series. There is a set on Ebay for $495. but whoa... and the C-39 by same seller is $695. a set... all I need is a trade straight across. Thanks, Tom

  21. I have several old Gates fan belts and hoses with no viable reference (ie website doesn't list any of them...too old). Does anyone have a gates reference or know where to find one?? thanks, TTA
  22. Have a '47 Chrysler Windsor... just had the engine tuned up, and it sometimes is smooth under light load, but at idle there is a vibration around the clutch area, and while driving, same, but when in gear if you hold the brakes and give it a little gas it smoothes out . This is a fluid drive... any ideas? Tom
