Thanks Leo,

 

Where did you find it?

[1929 Model 75 starter cable.]

I needed a starter cable for my 75. I called the Brillman Company in VA and talked to John. He has the Chrysler issued factory specifications that list all the details on the early Chrysler's cables. He had the gauge, the length of the cable, the length of the armor on it and the serial number break for the change in starter configuration.

 

I was blown away.

Does anyone have the size or number of the fan belt for a Chrysler Model 75?

 

Thanks

Like the Pierce setup a lot better

There are 4 bent tabs with rivets and one of those would be my guess as a failure point. What I don’t like is the 2 rivets that hold it on the fan pulley. Kind of like a short dowel.

Grimy,

Do you know how it failed, like around rivet holes, the main water pump shaft nut??

I finally picked the lock on the driver's door tool tray. Unfortunately, no tools, but there was a Certificate of Vehicle Registration in New Mexico.

 

The New Mexico owner bought the car on 4/12/87. Registration was 6/15/87.

 

Car sold for $36,000, had a 2% tax and had a stamped notation that the NEV TITLE INV CAR HAS BEEN IN MUSEUM.

 

It was previously titled in PA under title 126600408K.

 

Let me know if anyone has spare tools to sell.

I found a new use for my sneaky Pete, pulling ignition wires thru looms. Have to tape the end as it doesn't get a good grip on the cloth lacquer wire.

Installed the plug wires today. What a PITA.

[1929 Chrysler Dual Cowl Phaeton]

Generator got sorted out and back to stock. Just a 1 wire switch and replaced the regulator with a cutout.

 

Before starting it I wanted to get as much oil in the galleries as possible and come up with this.

 

I took the block fitting off a 72 which is a single line fitting and replaced the dual one of the 75 with it.

 

It utilizes a hydraulic coupling with a ID tube and a funnel that has a snug fit over the tube.

 

Screw it together in the block and add oil to the funnel. When done, reinstall the original 75 double fitting and hook up the lines.

 

Hope it works.

I am thinking 1 is the field and 2 is the cutout.

I think 1 is the field and 2 is the cutout.

[1929 Model 75 generator]

Ok, i got it apart and just want to get it to function as original at the moment.

 

There is the field wire and the wire that goes to the cutout.

 

There are 3 brush terminals (marked in white), 1, 2 and 3. 3 is grounded. 

 

Question of the day, which wire goes on 1 and which goes on 2?

IP, perfect, thanks.

Bloo,

 

Great information. Thank you for taking the time to explain it.

 

More investigation is required. I will update when appropriate.

What is going on here?

 

The generator on my 75 is a 955 model and it has an extra wire, a notch cut in the cover band for the extra wire and had a regulator.

Thanks Leo,

 

It appears it was a single piece that went the full width with a hole for the lock/handle in the middle?

Narve and Leo or anyone else. Do you have a picture of the latch area on the rumble lid.

 

I need to figure out how long the square wood pieces are as mine were mauled as you can see.

 

Thanks
