  1. Use stainless steel pistons. I put them in my 38 Dodge years ago; still no problems. Not sure where to buy them now.  The white substance is probably the aluminum pistons corroding.

  2. I have 2 DX3's with adjustable jets. Many carburetors had adjustable main jets, some for gas differences and some to support cars used in high altitudes. This was the first downdraft carburetor used by Chrysler (late 1929) and the main jet was possibly sized by design for average use and not by a long test procedure. Therefore, adjustable jets may have been supplied at a later date for compensation.

    Anyone have an operating one to spare? Mine was disconnected when I got the car and will work when hooked up but it gets very hot in a short period of time.  Can these be repaired?

    The electrical connection is to the starter switch and only gets the voltage when cranking. It not hooked up to constant power. If that helps.  You should have a switch as shown.

  4. From the rules book:

    The fire extinguisher must be UL-approved or  equivalent  and  fully  charged.  Fire extinguishers
    without a gauge: ensure the nozzle  is  not  obstructed  and  the  safety seal is intact. The
    extinguisher need not be  permanently  mounted,  but  must clearly visible and readily available.

  6. I have a 1946 Wagner brake book. As an example, I looked up 32 Chrysler CI that has 12 inch drums. They list the springs as FC 2501. These springs are a 3 piece design and have a o/a length of 5-29/32".  Over 2" shorter then you need? As I asked earlier, what particular car are these spring for? All springs for 12" drums may not  be the same.
