1936 Viper

Removed dash for access replacement went fine. Regulator from "This Ole' Coupe"

D2 back from the shop after extensive brake work, running gear, electrics, many thanks to South Shore Customs in Plymouth, MA and Then and Now Auto in Weymouth, MA. Will go back in the shop in the winter for re vulcanizing motor mount and trans mount and some work on shocks and rubber bushings. Also trans seals and drill out a broken bolt. And a new windshield regulator installed from This Ole' Coupe. Running good now drives nice.

Not sure I posted this correctly and it may not be appropriate for DB forum, but looking for rear quarter panels for 1956 Dodge panel Truck

Hello All, Just finished reading through all posts on the forum (362 I think) back to pre 2002. Amazing amount of information and contacts. Was sad that photos on early posts have gone away. My 36 D2 4 dr in the shop for brakes, a fuel problem, and a few other small issues, hopefully ready for Spring. Cannot tell you how valuable the forum was for troubleshooting problems. The shop is South Shore Customs Plymouth MA with parts help from Then and Now Auto Weymouth MA. I have two questions forum members can help me out with. Obviously I am on the forum but am I a member of the AACA oor DB club? Are there other Dodge associations on the forum that you can join? Again thanks to all who started and keep this forum up, Please tell me what I am not a member of that pertains to early Dodge cars. Thanks again, Lee

Thanks All, It was couple of hidden rubber gas line connections to steel lines that must have had pinholes. I know the one that I replaced near the tank was totally deteriorated (leaking) it was pre-ethanol gas line. So I was losing the "siphon". Running like a champ now in the shop for brakes and few other items. Pump and Carb good.

Royal Enfield Motorcycles were Whitworth

Harris Speedster how is the rebuild coming?

My engine looks original green, I read somewhere on the forum they may have used whatever paint was available at the time

Finally got mine to work properly, some operator error

There are a fewcompanies that make entire unit This Ole'Coupe and street rods and memorabilia has just the tape. Just google windshield regulator

jpage Finally got back underneath to check, you are absolutely correct the bracket assembly for the cowl vent blocks the removal of the windshield operator. Two large machine screws hold it in place. They have not been moved in 82 years, seem a little stiff and screws very soft metal (1930's?) have sprayed them with PB penetrating catalyst. Will try and attack them this weekend. Thnaks for the tip. Lee

is there a trick to getting the regulator out from behind the dash. have the bolts out just does not seem to be enough space to pull the regulator out?

Contemplated that. I had South Shore Customs up to look at the car this weekend. They just rebuilt a Galaxy that was starving for gas, problems in the tank. It will be a month until I can get into shop. So with a month to wait may implement the boat tank. Glad some one else contemplated this so not a total wacky idea.

Seems to be OK but will check again

Auburn seeker said: "Are you getting good fuel supply to the Pump and past? On my 48 Plymouth and my 36 Chrysler the years of sediment in the tank started loosening up with use and plugged the screen on the pickup in the gas tank. I ended up pulling the tank, then put a few gallons of evaporust in it, once I got all the gas out I could. Let it sit, then cleaned it out. It came up spotless on the bottom as no correctly fitting replacement tanks were available. Cured my starving for gas problem I had been having. I also added a clear in line filter just to make sure nothing else was coming through." Auburn Seeker Fuel Pump seemed to be working well, had carburetor rebuilt. Engine sounded wonderful did not prime anything started right up. Idled good. Attempts to drive only last for a short time (few hundred yards) then I think carb stop getting gas. My son pointed out to me that when I move the car this happens. So maybe some logic to something else going on in gas tank even though I drained and refilled.. Do not see sediment in fuel bowl so maybe something happening back at the tank. I know if I open carb now there will be no fuel in float bowl. A bit frustrating. South Shore Customs of Plymouth MA will visit me on Saturday to see if they would take on project to help me get it road worthy. I need professional help

Love the green engine block my 36 Dodge also has green engine block. Maybe a little darker.

Wow

Pretty common in Vermont back in the day poor man's tractor and about the only thing that would navigate dirt roads in mud season. Saw one with two transmissions once . Still a number of them around in the late 60's

Wow, amazing photos

correction line one rebuilt fuel pump

I have had problem with my 36 D2 carb fuel bowl not refilling. Rebuilt fuel bowl now carb is out for rebuild. Squirt gas in fuel bowl runs good for about 10 minutes then stalls. Open carb no fuel in bowl. Still happened after fuel pump re build (at Then and Now Auto looked great) Hoping it is a bad needle valve tried cleaning it numerous times and ways needle l"looks" OK. Carb should be back this week, we will see.

Very nice collection of cars and trucks.

next carburetor rebuild

Getting there all gear running well, rebuilt fuel pump, float chamber will not re-fill, cleaned float valve as much as I can. Runs well on the fuel in float bowl then konks out. Not quite ready for prime time but getting there. Skirts courtesy of Uptown Dodge from this forum.
