Dusk2Dawn

Yes Rusty, mine does have the standard 3 with the Fluid Drive. It is the H formation. Thanks for the advice! This is my first 3 speed vehicle so I really appreciate the help!

Thanks for all of the great detailed information Rusty! Very helpful! I can tell that I'll be coming here for a lot of advice as I put some miles on the car and see what I'm working with. I ordered a manual on CD from 1A Auto, hopefully this will be a detailed one. I have also been reading some of the Master Technician Service Conference materials posted on the Imperial Club website (Master Technician Service Conference - Chrysler's Training for Mechanics Thanks again for everyone's help!

Thanks for the advice 1930. I've done some looking around in the forum that you recommended and so far so good. I really appreciate it!

Hi everyone, I just bought my first old car this weekend and so far so good, but I'm trying to learn as much as possible before I have problems. I picked up a 1949 Dodge Wayfarer Business Coupe with the fluid drive trans and flathead 6. I Don't know much about these old Dodge's but I'm dying to learn. Looking forward to everyone's input! From reading some posts I noticed that everyone is recommending 30W or 20/50 in the motor and 10wtND for the fluid drive trans. Any disagreements there? Does anyone know where I can get a repair manual for the car? Wiring Diagrams? Thanks everyone! Steve
