A machine shop just billed me about $500 to machine an intake manifold to match my exhaust manifold. Does this seem high to you? I have no choice but to pay it, but will tell him I think it is very high. At $100 an hour that means it took 5 hours to set up and fuzz cut it!

Anyone ever seen or have any experience with a Stromberg DX3 with an adjustable main jet?

The ones on my 1930 Chrysler's look original, but inside are hidden modern filters. The housings come apart to hide the new filters.

It looks like parts of the clutch or brake pedal adjustment for a car, might be from a different car.

Then and Now Automotive has new pumps like this, I've bought them for my '30 Chryslers.

Snubber material is no longer available, Restoration Supply sews hood lace together and sells it. It looks and works just like the original material. I bought hood lace and had it sewed together for my '30 Chrysler Brougham.

Why not take it to a body shop that does hail dent repair?

Sent a picture of the manifold I'm looking for.

The casting numbers are very hard to read looks like 303975 4 or 808975 4. manifold has a 1/8" pipe threaded hole on bottom for a drain tube, later models had a larger hole for a fumer. I can send you a picture if I can get an email address or cell number.

what model 70 parts do you have? intake manifold??

Model 70

Any 1930 Chrysler?

Another leaked showed up! Looking for an intake manifold for a 218.6 cu. in. 1930 Chrysler model 70

Jay Astheimer might have parts for your car. astheime@ptd.net He has an ad in the WPC magazine.

I bought a wiring harness from Rhode Island Wiring years ago for a 1930 Model 70. Came with very easy to read schematics and was fairly simple to install.

Any Chrysler parts or all Dodge?

True that the engine does run very warm, I use water wetter and that helps. A radiator shroud would really help but I show for points. Keeping the engine tuned up helps a lot too. I do not run a thermostat. I have driven up to 50 miles, car hates parades! I have a spare 268 cu in engine that I'll check behind he water pump. I'm still looking for an intake manifold for a 218 with a downdraft can. Using JB Weld on mine .

I have two Chrysler 218.6 engines and they do not have a plate behind the pump.

Viv sent me the contact information. Thanks!

Do you have any more info on how to contact him? vinchry didn't bring him up.

Looking for an intake manifold for a 1930 Chrysler model 70, must be for early production 218.6 engine with downdraft carburetor. No cracks, I have one of those!

When I came home from overseas, I put several items in a box. Each one was wrapped and had my home address on it, these were put in a box with my address on it in large block letters, this box was inside another box that was addressed. This was a large box and they lost it! Had large jade statues, 2 bolts of pure silk, and about 24 rolls of exposed 35 mm film. All lost, they offered me next to nothing for my loss and paid my just what I paid. I'd say they x rayed the box and knew what was in it.

These seals sometimes cut grooves in the wheel hub and grease could leak in the brake drums, mine did. I was able to install speedi-sleeves on the hubs that the seals grooved. Then I removed my old damaged leather seals and fit new lip seals in the original seal housings. No leaks.

I don't know how much I paid because I had a restoration shop do the whole car. If you are in or close to Ohio I can recommend some people. Do you have a shop that does soda blasting? Might want to check with them. If you take the wheels apart you have to assemble them just like they came apart. number the spokes. A press was used to assemble the spokes in the rim. My wheels were not taken apart when refinished.
