Thanks a lot guys,
So this is a VW-thing. Rysty, I might sell it, but not quite yet. I have to figure it out if I use it or not, but tyou will be the first one on the list.

Thanks a lot nearchoclatetown ,
But is there any advantages to use it? When these were manufactured? in the sixties?
Any price info ?
(my Imp has a correct coil already

Hi guys,
I recently got a 1964 Imperial LeBaron that has been sat since '78 in San Francisco Bay -area.. I noticed that there's a Judson Electronic Magneto attached to inner fender .. ? What's that? Some kind of early super-tune-up coil?
-
OK; great thanks! i'll try that.

Where could I find a title for '65 Buick that was last licenced in 1986 in Virginia?
I've heard that there are title services somewhere but newer used one..

Thanks alot Rusty and guys. I might go for do-it-yourself-kit. Not because I want to be annoying, just because I think it's the right way
And there's lot's of other stuff like bolts and nuts that will need replating. I dont want to install those rusty and dirty bolts back to car when it's repainted.
By the way, I think that glass bead blasting may be difficult to do on small parts like dash bulb sockets- is there anykind of chemical solution for taking rust out from small parts? like citric acid or something like that?

but it's not original......

Done that, but they said that their zinc-plating systems are out of order and they have no intentions to repair them at the moment. I would be willing to ship the parts to USA as well..

I guess I could have posted this to Dodge forum, but I think this a general question after all...
I have an old '38 Dodge Truck wiring harness with headlight bulb, park bulb, dash bulb sockets:
http://homepage.mac.com/mika.jaakkola/dodgewires/PhotoAlbum9.html
I guess (this is a guess) these sockets are zinc plated when new.
I recently bought a complete new wiring harness without sockets and I should install the old sockets to the new wiring harness.
But.. I don't want to install those lightly rusted and worn out-looking parts.
Does anyone know a company who does zinc plating(based on electrolysis) for this kind (only for few)of old parts?

Oh, I have a '88 Country Squire myself too. It's a real good driver!! I really love the car! Got any pics of yours?
-
The story was quite interesting!!
Is there a pictures anywhere showing the ccar "before it disappeared for '40 years" ??

Hey Come on!
If there weren't such guys who do this for living, there wouldn't be a hobby.
Or there might, but it would be quite hard to manage it.
There might not be AACA as big it is.
Think about guys like
Andy Bernbaum or
guys at
or guys at N/C Industries:
http://www.windshieldframes.com/
or
Gary Goers at http://www.tomandgaryinc.com/garygoers/index.htm
You have to get your stuff and services somewhere? Right?
And then there's automotive researchers etc. in a whole different category.
I'm sensing that anyone who tries to get living or money out of it is pure evil?
I think more him as one lucky guy who can combine the passion for automobiles and daily work.
-
No no no, you didn't get it quite right. I didn't mean to "spend money wisely" or do only just financially wise moves with your cars. That's a different thing.
Or do only things that brings your money.
More like do stuff to others cars or being as a parts supplier or something like that.
-
Do you ? If you do, what do you do?
I've always thought that antique cars have been more than hobby for me and
I would really get involved more and make a living with these.
This isn't my main job but I have been every once in a while trying to locate parts for other peoples cars and get them what they need.
Being an engineer in internet technology I know how to use the internet
And that's been great help.

DodgeKCL, do you got any pics of your car?
I'd bet the chassis is my car? the crew cab in my signature.
I think there could not have been many those '38 chassis's delivered to Finland.

I found some pictures from a finnish book called Fiude (means car in spoken 30's finnish language) I think I must share!!
These are from then finnish Dodge dealer.
There seems to be several '38 Dodge passenger cars, BUT LOOK AT THE BOTTOM OF THOSE 2 PICTURES and tell me what you see!!!
I'd bet the other one is my car!!
-
WOW! Great! When can wee see pictures? I have a '57 Imp myself (got it when I was 20),
you should ask a ps pump from Bob Hoffmeister:
Does the old one leak? There should be a gasket set available.

Thanks Diz, done that
