  1. Is the front end sqawking all the time as in dry suspension joints? Those era of chryslers were notorious for front end noises. A complicated front suspension design. You could try the dealer but they might be a more modern slightly different looking replacement part. Go ask them. Oh those late 70's "Lean Burn" Mopars !!
  2. 265 chrysler engines are as hard to find as the straight eight. And highly sought after too.
  3. My Chrysler Miss Serephina has a pretty engine.... Even yours can look the same. Just some money and time. These eights are so smooth and have lots of torque. A slant six would not do too well in a car this heavy though.
  4. The Chrysler 323 eights were also called the "Royal" engine and were found in marine applications. A very smooth and quiet engine. I have several 1946-50 Chryslers with the straight eight in them. When idling smoothly I have balanced a nickel on edge on top of the head.
  5. Go to the P15/D24 site and post this. You will get the necessary parts and info from someone there.

    GAS

    $3.09 in east Seattle area. Gas is always high as is everthing else here.
  7. 1949-50 DeSoto, Dodge and Chrysler 4 door and 2dr cpe cars use the same chrome division bar and all will interchange. 1951-52 are a different series of division bar and 1953-54 are a different series also-- none interchange.
  8. Those poor old ugly toads! They lead a tough life and seldom get any appreciation or completion.
  9. I had fun helping out... I'm sure Jack did too! Thats a nice original 50 chrysler. I love em and have three of them. Bob
  10. Jeez Jack... I wish you could of posted those pictures before I posted mine. It took ten trial pictures up under the dash to get only three decent ones! Maybe you could supply him a factory hose if he needs one. Bob
  11. Try "JC Auto Restoration" in Washington state.
  12. The final pics... Hope you can get your hand up there to put on the hose.... it's very tight up there! Bob
  13. The owner of those cars (larry) lives 3 miles from me! Those cars are at the spring puyallup swap meet and car show.
  14. here is a picture of that duct on one of my parted out parts cars... a 1950 NewYorker 4 door....
  15. I'll have to get the car down to take a picture tomorrow for you. No plastic is used on the heater system anywhere on a 49-50 chrysler. There's a metal round pipe connection up high right above the glove box that the hose in my picture goes to.. for the defrost air. Bob
  16. Sorry to hear of your stolen rare car parts. Seattle is really turning into an aweful city as it explodes with growth. I grew up here and for nearly 65 years have watched the change mainly in the last 5 years. It's such a everyday story here anymore. Sad for us all.
