Dave thanks,

The fluid level is fine; topped it off.  Will check the clutch plate first.  TX, Rick

50 De Soto Tip-toe fluid transmission.  I have some slippage in the fluid drive. I want to check the clutch pressure springs but do not have gauge  C-647. Actually I do not want a gauge, what I need is the dimension from the torque wrench attachment point to the center of the spring.  I can make something up if I have that dimension.

Secondly,  if the springs are weak do you know where I can buy new ones? Thanks in advance

Thanks Rusty;  this is just what I needed.  Rick

Does anyone know the correct wiring diagram for a 1950 de soto custom (S-14).  The manual I got with the car shows an S-13; it shows a brown wire running from the starter solenoid to the "A" terminal, and ground, on the voltage regulator.  And then on to the Armature of the generator?????

There is a plastic plug that you pull out with needle nose pliers where the hole is.
