  1. Serial numbers 3756501 - 3913106 is a 1935 Dodge (not DeLuxe); DeLuxe serial numbers started @4991001. The motor serial number should start with "DU". The "P4" starting number on your engine indicates it is 1937 Plymouth Deluxe engine.

  2. The best ratio you might find is 3.70 that was used in some of the Mopar coupes. The 4.13 was basically the standard in most cars/trucks from the 30's - early 50's. Even with that, you are only changing by 10%. Instead of cruising at 50 MPH as it was designed, you can now do 55 MPH at the same RPM.

  3. My Delco book has these specs for your Distributor:

    Start Advance @800 engine rpm, Deg 2.0

    Maximum Advance @2500 engine rpm, Deg 18.0

    This is for engine RPM, if on a distributor machine the above numbers are one-half. The book says the distributor turns at one half the engine speed.

    Point setting .022

  4. Looks like a Ford rear. The wheels should be 16". If not they are for sure not correct. Also, I think Plymouth had a small hub cab and I don't see any clips to hold them on.
