    1930 DA starter switch wanted

    in Dodge & Dodge Brothers

    Posted

    I notice Myers shows out of stock for this item.  They are really your only chance of finding this part .  I looked for years for something to substitute on my Victory six, and sorry to say there is no alternative. 

     

    What I did for years was this: I just used a starter lead directly from the terminal on the starter (under the switch pictured) under my floorboards to a 6 volt universal starter solenoid, right up to the battery with the positive lead . You will have to wire a signal to engage the solenoid like a starter floor button or dash board push button.  you need  6 volts on that signal circuit.  A little push button under your seat frame would be discreet.  There is plenty of room under the floorboards for the solenoid to be mounted.  I ran mine this way for years until I finally bought the bullet and spent the $$$ fro the bit .

     

    Hope this help get you rolling,  Tom

    Victory Six Rumble Seat

    Does anyone have any idea where I might get the parts to hold shut my rumble seat lid?

     

    I have nothing, but looks like on the lid I need a HANDLE, LATCHING MECHANISM,  and some kind of CATCH mounted to the body.

     

    Does any one know if trunk lid equipment would work?

     

    What about DA or some Chrysler cross fit?

     

    Thanks Tom

    I agree with Jack M.  It's a poor ground.  Can you run an alligator clip directly to the body of the light socket and go to battery ground with the other end?

     

    I bet you a will get the result you desire. I've had the same thing happen many times with my trailer lights I e step on the brake and the tail light comes on.  The brake light requires more juice to light. 

     

    hope this helps   Tom

    Robert passed away quite a few years ago.  He would say from a combination of Canadian Healthcare and Diabetes. He was a great guy and I sure miss him. 

     

    I think his son is listed in the back of the DBCN as a reproduction hubcap supplier.

    1928 6 cylinder timing cover seal

    in Dodge & Dodge Brothers

    Posted

    The guy that rebuilt my engine glued a modern seal to the timing cover.  you have to cut down the "harmonic/main" pulley to fit with a lathe.  I think it is directional, in that , as the crank pulley turns the oil is swept back into the engine timing compartment.  If you are planning on taking the cover off, it is a devil of a job.  You must be careful not to let the generator gear falls out

    Victory 6 Sidemount tire style

    Anybody know exactly which tire brands will and will not fit in the fender wells on my Victory 6?  For years I have heard that only Firestones will fit when inflated. I think I like the look of Lister brand tires.   Unfortunately,  once tires are mounted they cannot be exchanged.

    Jreeder41, hope I can help.

    Here's what you do: Go to Myers Early Dodge Parts homepage. Select catalog. Select literature. Look for John Bittance's book o Victory 6 restoration which is available on CD. 10 bucks is a steal.

    You may print the book. I just load the CD and use it with my laptop. Any Victory 6 owner needs this book. In the book John

    specifically addresses the distributor issue and offers some creative remedies which were previously published in the Dodge

    Brothers Club News when he was editor. (slant 6 distributor, etc)

    I am a victory 6 owner and I have been searching for the elusive cast iron distributor at swap meets for 18 years. No luck. I am

    planning on biting the bullet this spring and get the distributor from Myers. I have a parts car that has some kind of mystery

    distributor. IMHO the performance of this car is not likely to be significantly altered by any 6 cylinder distributor that you

    are likely to modify to make work. If you decide later to upgrade the car from a driver to a show car, you can pop for the

    big bucks and get the Aussie Repop from the VERY NICE PEOPLE who run Myers parts company.

    Good luck, Tom
