    Jack, thanks for getting back to me--- I am not to far from you, I live in Delta B.C. almost at the border of US & Canada.  But at present we are not allowed to cross the border!  If you could could get some one to undo the two bolts you could just mail it to me.  Let me know what price you want and if it can be done?

     

    Regards

    On my 47 Chrysler fluid drive transmission I have been losing fluid, where would I obtain seals & gaskets that would be needed.   At this stage I am not certain if it is the front of the Transmission or the rear of the transmission. If I have to take the car to a shop it would probably make sense to replace both front & back??   If any one has info on the parts as well as how to go about doing the job I would certainly appreciate the information,

    Rusty,

     

    Thank you very much for information. it was interesting to read about the transmission & the operation  of the push button control.  The lack of the park position ( same as the 47 Chrysler)  but what sounds like a better 

    hand Brake system, great info thanks again.

    Good Afternoon

      At present Ihave a 1947 Chrysler club Coupe < I am looking at buying a 1956 Dodge custom royal lancer.  I wanted to ask the opinion of members of pros & cons of this model.

    I would be interested in any comments about the Powerflite Transmission.

     

    I would appreciate your responses

    I am looking at rebuilding my Carburetor, and there seems to be various outlets to buy the kits.  I thought it best to get some advice as I want the most complete kit and of course good quality.

    So-- If some one out there can direct me to the best place to buy a kit I would appreciate it very much.

     

    Regards   Bruce

    Thanks Joe for the info on the parts,

     

    Bob,  I had looked in the manual and as you said there is no front input seal. I will check the Fluid drive coupling for a leak.  During this Covid problem the car has sat for some time & when I checked the transmission fluid 

    a few weeks ago it was down maybe 1/2 pint & have since refilled it to the level indicated in the manual. So from that I am concerned it may well be in the transmission .

    1947 Chrysler windsor Starting problems

    in Technical

    I would like to thank everyone who have put forward there information on the starting problem on my 47 Chrysler.  I did fill the carb bowl as suggested left it for 12 hours, and if it was stuck it isn't now?  The next thing was to take the fuel pump out & make sure the that it is connecting on to the lob as it should be. I tried starting the car but still no luck.  more than half way down undrer the car I had to replace a bad section of gas line with the rubber gas line. I took the line apart and put one end in a 1 gal gas can and started the car .  My thoughts are that the rubber gas line is squeezing to gether with the suction of the fuel pump.  I have found a place that has a higher grade of rubber gas line and will replace it in the next few days.  So now I know the car starts and runs its just a matter of getting it to draw gas from the  fuel tank.

    Regards Bruce

    I want to thank all who were good enough to help me with the ongoing problem,   I have some questions if the float was stuck would that interfere with the fuel pump having zero suction?  What in the carb would have an effect on the fuel pump not delivering fuel?  I haven't checked to see if the engine compression is low or 0 would that also have an effect on the fuel pump?  If the timing chain is not operating would that have  an effect on the fuel pump?   I am asking all these questions because, it may give me a direction to go to. I have followed up on the different suggestions and at this stage the car will turn over and start with the little bit of gas I put into the carb and within seconds the car stops.

    For some time I have worked on getting my car started/  It is not drawing fuel from the tank, I have replaced the fuel pump and it has made no difference/  I tried using a one gall fuel tank,

    & dropping  a line into that , thinking there may be something going on in the gas tank. there is zero suction.  On the electrical side there is spark & the car will start if I put gas in the carb.

    The car will run until the fuel i put into the carb is gone. I am not sure what else to try.

    Thanks Bud,

     

    I could not have had a better explanation of the gas tank connections.  Now that I have exhausted all other options of the fuel system it becomes obvious that the pump will have to come out.

     

    Many thanks

    Can anybody tell me about a check valve in the gas tank & if it could get stuck and not allow fuel from the tank. Would there be a way of resolving the problem?

    Thanks Rusty,

     

    So, would that prevent the fuel from draining back to the tank?  

     

    I was on line a while ago about a fuel pump problems & after checking all the areas you mentioned it comes down to the fact that the pump is the culprit.

     

    Many thanks for your help,

    Matt,

     

    Thank you very much for your reply, I checked on line with the supplier before I put out the question to the Chrysler club, as it was important that I have a draw thru pump but the answer that came back  didn't make that point clear.  Failing using the P60430 6 volt pump, do you know of any that would give me the 4 to 6 PSI or close to that spec with the draw thru  system. Again thanks for your help.

    Rusty, checking the fuel pressure at the carb it shows less than 2 Lbs when only the electric pump is on.  The mechanical pump shows around the same just slightly less than 2 lbs but the car wont start. I have tried priming the carb but it will only start for a second until the gas is used up that was used to prime it.  The only filter on the line from the gas tank is on the electric fuel pump which I took apart this am & it is as clean as could be.  If the diaphragm in the mechanical pump has failed because of the ethanol additive in the gas, would that also not allow the electric pump to push through? I don't want to replace the pump if I am missing some other reason for the lack of fuel delivery.

     

    Thanks for your interest

    M-MMAN,

     In your second paragraph you mention the electric pump sends fuel to the mechanical pump & I have to assume from there the Mechanical pump takes over & pumps the fuel to the carb.  So the electric pump in essence does not fill the carb bowl is that correct?

    I (as Usual ) am confused with the use of an electric fuel pump to fill the carb.  I have an electric fuel pump added in line but  unless its plumbed correctly it only brings it up to the Mechanical fuel pump---- Am I correct ?
