Model # of the 1950 Eight cylinder Chryslers I own.
-
Reviving this old thread...
What is this one worth running with a rebuilt engine, good interior, no rust, decent chrome, needing wood work-some of it already properly done?
-
Heres a torque chart showing your 5/16 X 18 theaded bolts used to hold the cam gear to the cam.,.,
-
Have fun with that car Joe! Get her runnin and enjoy as is!
I too just bought another one too- a 1950 T&C Newport Hardtop "8". Now up to four Chrysler wooden cars.
-
The Chrysler eight bell housing is different from the smaller Dodge 3 speed FD housing and have different transmission bolt patterns too.
You could do a swap but quite a bit of work..
-
A 3.54 ratio rear pumkin out of a 1946-48 chrysler Windsor six will be a direct bolt in if you must!
I'd leave the stock rear end in it. I don't have a problem with any of my 1950 chryslers.
-
The 1949-50 NewYorker/Saratoga's are a 3.54-1 ratio.
The 1946-48 NewYorker/Saratoga are 3.36-1 ratio.
Not an easy swap at all. The eight differential is a bigger bolt pattern. The U-joint yoke is wider too.
Tall tires help.
-
Eights are wider.
-
I've also used shopping carts and bread cart base dollies.
-
These would be perfect. Are they two rails joined just at the rear, or is there another cross piece up front?
The rear rail bar looks same as the two sides and just fits up between the bell housing and engine. There also is a curved heavy strap bar 3/4's of the way to the front of the dollie.
Curved to fit the pan.

You will never forget when one goes over!

You need a quality engine stand to mount a straight eight on. They are too long for the cheapo horror freight stands and could fall over.
I had to modify a OTC heavy duty engine stand just for a chrysler 385 CI straight eight a couple months ago....
-
I welded up very tight fit low profile engine dollies for my chrysler straight eights/ truck 331/413 sixes and the smaller 218/230 ply/dodge engines...
They take up no more floor space than just the size of the engine and the engine pan rails rest on the dollie. Extremely stable .

I'd be afraid to do anything with a 100 grand PW. Rich mans trading arena,

Be a strong man that knows how to use a quality 3 leg drum puller (Snap on ect) and a big hammer.No pansy asses need be here!
Use a 5 lb hammer and bang like a big man on that dog bone on the end of the puller or use a high output 1/2" impact or bigger and the drums will come of pretty darn easy!
Just leave the nut on the end of the axle so the drum won't land in your lap!
A proper shop manual is good reading to do this type of brake job right right.

Center plane brakes... Ya gotta inspect them. Better safe than sorry.

I told him he was stupid to let Chrysler have the S10 convertible.
So...It went to a guy in Texas who is now restoring it. Hopefully it will stay here in the states as rare as it is.
He sold the Cord approx 3 years ago.

Joe..
The engine# is stamped on the frame side rail behind the LR tire on the kick up arch of the frame.. Clean /sand it well and you will see it.

It's the black ground wire for the small defroster motor. It connects to the wiper motor housing for ground.

Ray is probably sad you sold it. He sold his 42 S10 convertible too recently.

Check the black ground wire on the wiper motor.
Had the same issue a month ago on a 50 Chrysler T&C. Weak ground was cause of the wiper not working.
