Hi Guys.
As far as I can make out, my PA came with AC G12 spark plugs. Would anyone know what an available equivalent would be?
Kind regards, Graham

Hi Guys. Anyone know where I can find a suitable lockable handle for my rumble seat?
Regards to all PA owners.

I'm trying to figure out the correct way to upholster the surrounding edges of the rumble seat lid - the bit that shows when the seat backrest is in place. I think that they are narrow strips that get nailed to the wood frame and also under the steel frame that goes between the wood and the lid edge. I'd appreciate any advice as I'd like to get this correct. Regards, Graham

Can anyone tell me where I can get a replacement 9-tooth bendix for my starter motor.

Hoping someone can advise me on the necessary oil seals at the front end of the crankshaft. There is a seal at the outer face of the timing case which is held in by a circular plate with two screws. The picture in the manual shows a 'crankshaft gear oil seal' ( item 71 ) which seems to point further inside. Is this the thin sleeve attached to the inside of the timing case or is there another seal inside it?
Kind regards to all PA owners, Graham

Hi bigtoddl.
I was looking for a Plymouth PA motor. My block was cracked and had holes in the water jacket. I have repaired it but I would be interested in another motor.

It is actually the shaft with gear that is driven off the camshaft, that I need.

Hi Guys. Does anyone out there have a spare distributor drive shaft for a 1931 PA. I'm rebuilding and have gone and lost mine.

Hi again. I can now see where the pipe is fitted and where the oil feeds onto the gear teeth but I can't figure out where the oil comes from.

Hi All. I'm busy assembling my PA engine and notice that there is a 3/16" threaded hole in the block between the crankshaft gear and the camshaft fibre gear. According to my instruction book this is for a pipe to lubricate the cam gear. I don't remember any pipe when we stripped the motor, also the hole doesn't seem to led anywhere. Can anyone throw any light on this subject?
Thanks and a very merry Christmas to everyone.

Well that didn't work. When I try to get onto the NAPA online service, all I get is 'Access Forbidden' !
-
Thanks Tom, I'll do that. BTW I'm in Cape Town, South Africa, so might not have access to as many parts as you do.

Could anyone advise me on a suitable and currently obtainable thermostat or my 1931 Plymouth PA 4-cyl.
-
Thanks I'll have to look for one. My car didn't come with one.
-
Thanks for that. My backing didn't have the small hole as shown in the earlier pic. Did the 1931 PA have a thermostat?

Hi All. 1931 Plymouth PA :
Can anyone explain why there is a large round hole in the block behind the water pump backing plate?
The square hole is for coolant circulation but I don't understand the purpose of the round hole. See attached photo.

Sad thing is that the guy who did my basic woodwork passed on a few months ago. He copied the original pieces very well but even so I've spent man hours fitting , planing ,measuring and re-fitting.
-
Hi. I've just seen this posting now so hope you've found a lid. I'm just putting the finishing touches to a new wood frame for my lid. It's no easy task getting it perfect.
Best of luck.

Hi Dave. Yes that would be fine. I As it's a coupe I need one locking drivers side and one non-locking passenger side. I also need a locking trunk handle if you have.
I'd probably get you to send to a friend in S. Carolina who comes to Cape Town regularly. Whereabouts are you? My email address is grahm.goetze@telkomsa.net
Regards,
Graham

Hi Dave.
I'd be very interested in buying those handles for my PA Rumble Seat Coupe that I'm busy restoring. Regards, Graham
-
Fairly successfully I hope.
Must get this PA on the road again - it's too nice a car to let go.
-
Hi D. If you want to contact me by email my address is: graham.goetze@telkomsa.net
I can send you a picture of my PA.
Regards, Graham
-
Thanks D. Looking forward to hearing from you. Graham

A friend is using Autolite 3076 in his '28 Chev but I'd like to fins a positive cross reference.
