  1. MoPar Industrial engines generally don't have vacuum advance distributors. In a car yes...better performance and better mpg. The compression #'s are low and kinda even...as long as it always starts and runs fair run it. Possibly worn ring lands and compression rings. Common in old high mileage/hours four ring MoPar flatheads. Run it...enjoy it!
  2. There is no input shaft seal on that 3 speed. Was the bell housing to transmission gasket installed? Sometimes the countershaft that the cluster gear rides on will leak at the front end of the case. It is supposed to be a tight fit in the case....but have seen them get loose aad leak at the front lower case.
  3. I run Autolite 295's in all my 218/230 engines. Have used them for the last 40 years. Have worked on hundreds of MoPar flatheads...six and eights.
  4. This one...M-5 trans relay. #HRM 4102 Autolite. I would open it up a see what's wrong with it...
  5. The MoPars are a much better engineered car than the very common Chebby. But folks adore those Chebbies.
  6. As above....Olsen's. Installed a head gasket from Olsen's on a 385 about 8 years ago...has been just fine.
  7. Dodge hoods... each side lifts up...
  8. You might try JC Auto Restoration in Lynnwood Washington...they specialize in late 50's early 60's Chryslers..
  9. Search a lor more on the net. You will find what you want.
  10. You will pay dearly through SMS. Plus wait months or more for your order.
  11. Not an easy car to repair or find parts for. Dashes/instruments are difficult to repair and work on... Some have complicated swivel seats. Centerline power brakes... AC system repairs can be very costly. Power windows...power door locks? On and on. Need a lot of back up to get one of these very luxurious cars up and going correctly. Jump in and hang on for the fun ride!
  12. You can connect to the ammeter terminal on the ignition switch. 1946-48 Chrysler wires it directly to the ammeter. Either way will work fine.
  13. I'd look at the 1941-48 chrysler shop manual wiring diagram. The clock is shown in it.
