There was some polite cursing to finally get up to comfortable cruising.

Problem isolated — valve spring flutter. Problem solved — new valve springs. The CP8 (299 CID) engine runs smooth all the way to 2700 rpm — haven’t and won’t push it any further. On the road, the car accelerates well upto 60 mph and cruises comfortably at 50-53 mph. In the whole process, the DXR-3 carburetor was replaced with a new Y200 Universal Zenith Downdraft 1 barrel, 28/228 type replacement with 1.25 inch Venturi. This Venturi was machined specifically for this application. The new carburetor works extremely well and provides the main jet adjustment the original didn’t have. It will stay on the car. After having checked and adjusted every conceivable component leading to the valve springs, the engine runs strong and smooth. The old 4-H motto of “Learn by Doing” played out here!

Then and Now was very helpful and had the correct springs in stock!

For almost 50 years, I have known of a 1926 coupe that has a well worn sticker on the bottom left corner of the windshield. From what I recall, it was a notice to the customer about break in speed for the first 500 miles, general care, and tire size. The car has never been apart; it may have been “brushed-up” in the 1950s or 1960s. My question is: could the sticker be original to the car from the dealer or a mid-twentieth century addition? Thank you!

Looking for NOS valve springs for this early Chrysler eight. Original part number and cross engine application shown in photo of Chrysler parts book. Other suppliers and part numbers of the time are: The Thompson Products part number is: vs294 The McQuay-Norris part number is: vs140

The carburetor is a Y200 Universal Zenith Downdraft 1 barrel New Zenith 28/228 type replacement Specs: Category: Universal Replacement Configuration: One Barrel 1-1/2 / 38.0 mm Bore Adjustable Main Jet Replace 1bbl Factory Carbs Height: 6-3/4/171.45mmmm Base Bolt Span: 2-11/16 thru 2-15/16 in. 200-300 CID applications we did machine a larger Venturi to 1-1/4 Check out The Carburetor Doctor online

After a complete engine rebuild, we are trying to dial in my CP8 (299 CID). In the shop, it starts, idles, and runs smooth until about 2000 rpm. Then it starts to cut out or miss. Placing a light piece of cardboard at the tailpipe, it flaps out and in — which seems to indicate alternative exhaust and suction at this speed. On the road, the car accelerates well upto about 50 mph. At that speed, it starts to miss and lose power — the throttle is to the floor. We think we have checked everything: compression (75psi cold, 85psi hot), a compression leak test (no leaks detected), the electric fuel pump has capacity upto 30 per hour, the DXR-3 carburetor was replaced with a new Zenith with 1.25 inch Venturi, and the electrical system has been checked and the condenser swapped out. After experiencing the performance problem, we think we have diagnosed the problem down to what a 1933 Imperial manual states as “valve spring flutter and poor performance at high speeds”. The 1932 CP8 manual says nothing about this, but we are thinking that by 1933 problems with the early eight had surfaced. We are at our wits end and would appreciate help before opening the engine. Here are some main questions: 1. From what we have described, does valve spring flutter seem to be the issue here? If so, the culprit is likely weak aftermarket valve springs. 2. Does anyone have correct valve spring specs and a source for what we need? In looking at what’s available online, it’s Russian roulette. We only want to open the engine once! 3. What are we missing? Thank you, Paul

Need manifold heat control valve assembly for my 1932 Chrysler CP8. Thank you!

Need a manifold heat control valve for my 1932 Chrysler CP8.

My 1932 Chrysler CP8 does not have a manifold heat control valve installed. It has a cover plate over the mounting hole. Will absence of the control valve effect correct engine operation. I don’t expect to do any extreme cold weather driving. Thank you!

Looking for a service bulletin for “DXR” carburetor — for 1932 Chrysler model CP8 with Deluxe 3-1/4x4-1/2 eight cylinder motor.

Three window crank handles as a package. In each photo, the one on the left is an original 'white' metal handle. It served as the pattern. The two on the right are re-cast reproductions. They are cast using modern durable material. They are unfinished and have some extra casting material on the underside. It can easily be removed with emery-cloth. Also, they were cast as one piece, so the knob-end does not spin. I have had four of the recast handles plated and installed on a 1924 car. They fit, work, and look great. The old 'white' metal ones crumble and break. Please ask questions.

I have a 1932 Chrysler CP8 five passenger sedan. Restoration is complete except for the fabric interior. All of the original interior pieces are available as patterns. Fabric, close to the original, is available. All of the interior trim pieces have been wood-grained. The best quote thus far is $25K from a qualified firm. Is this anywhere within the realm of reason? Also, is anyone aware of qualified firms out there that could do the job? I need some comparable estimates. Thank you!

The car is in Chicago, IL and can be shipped.

What would it or should it realistically cost to have the interior professionally replaced on my 1932 Chrysler CP8 four-door sedan? Just trying to get a ballpark idea. Thank you!
