  1. Thanks for the feedback! I'm glad to hear that it wasn't too difficult. As a first-timer, I've been wondering if I have the know-how to complete the rewire. But that's pretty much how my wiring looks, so it needs to go... regardless of any personal (in)competence. Ha!
  2. Thanks @Akstraw! That's exactly what I'm planning to do this year with my '48 New Yorker.
  3. Has anyone used Harnesses Unlimited and have any feedback on service and quality?
  4. I wanted to share this site I found with Chrysler ads through the decades: https://propadv.com/automobiles-ad-and-poster-collection/chrysler-ad-and-poster-collection/ I got a kick out of looking at the ads for my '48 NYer and thought some of you might also find it interesting.
  5. @Bloo Just to follow up on this, a more exacting major adjustment seems to have done the trick. I guess I wasn't as careful as I needed to be in my initial adjustment. With all the posts talking about the importance of proper adjustment, I'm feeling a bit foolish for not suspecting this as the problem originally and I really appreciate the advice.
  6. Thanks @Bloo I bought a tool similar to @keithb7's design (before I realized he was the original creator). Based on your suggestion, I performed a major adjustment on the rear tonight. I'll work on the front in the next day or so and see if that helps. I really hoping it does. I'd like to drive it before the summer is over.
  7. I've been working on a 1948 New Yorker as my first restoration project (admittedly with no prior experience) and I'm stuck on the brake system. I replaced all of the hard lines, hoses, master cylinder, and all wheel cylinders, but I'm having difficulty getting good pedal. If I pump it, I can get some pressure. That suggests to me that I have air in the lines, but I've spent hours bleeding the system. I don't see any leaks at the connections, in the lines/hoses, or at the wheel cylinders. Could I have a bad master cylinder even though it's brand new? I'd really appreciate any thoughts from any of you who undoubtedly have more experience than I.
  8. Really nice car! I just bought a 48 NYer with the same color combo (only in much worse shape). It's nice to see what it could look like restored.
  9. This is service is still available. They may even be clearing some of the backlog. I emailed Danielle yesterday afternoon and got a response this morning confirming my request and saying I can expect a copy of my build card in Q3 2022. I found an updated Stellantis form here: https://desoto.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/Stellantis-Build-Record-Only-Form-.pdf
