Engine enamel. I have it the head of a flat head engine. It is glossy and and does not burn off.

Attached is what the 1930 Chrysler model 70 master cylinder should look like. The rebuild kits are the same through 1936.

It is fixed now. You can add pictures.

Try to do it with file manager. It is not listed as an option on this site like others.

I have a wiring diagram, but, it is of no use until you put the correct engine in the car. If you want a modified plymouth with a chevy engine (presumably 12 volts instead of 6 volts) you will have to custom wire it. Recommend you see grandma before she gets rid of the engine and transmission.
You could get coupes with rumble seats in 35. The opening was the same size as the trunk lid. If it was originally a rumble seat and not converted, the rear window will roll down.

This site does not allow pictures. Look at your messages and I will send you a picture of the correct master cylinder.

If I sell the 36 RS coupe, the welled fenders and brackets go with it.

I sent you a message. Please read.

The shop manual only shows dimensions for one frame for 1936 D2. I also have a 36 Dodge coupe with regular fenders. I do have the sidemount fenders but not installed.

Is the BB-1 you have updraft. If so I may have some info on it.

The way the vacuum tank works is the float inside is spring loaded to keep it at the top if the fuel is full in the tank. Also when it is in the up position the vacuum from the engine is cut off. The tube leading to the outside that is open is the vent to let the fuel drain. As the fuel drains and gets near the botton the weight of the float overcomes the the spring tension and the float drops to the bottom and closes off the outside vent. At this point the engine vacuum can suck gas from the gas tank. As the tank fills the float rises and the spring tension locks it at the top and the cycle starts over. It the tank has leaks(usually at the top cover gasket) the gas will only be pulled into the tank slowly. The other problem with vacuum tanks is the float will get a hole in it and stay at the bottom. If this happens the fuel will be sucked straight into the manifold and run rich. To find a leak you would have to block the vent and gas line and pull a vacuum on the line that goes to teh engine intake manifold.

Sounds like your float is set too low or vacuum tank problems. The fuel level for the U-2 should be 9/16" below the edge of the float chamber. This would put the top of the float about 3/64" below the top of the float chamber (if you have a original float). If you have a vacuum tank that has an air leak, the tank will not stay filled and when you hit the accelerator you are bringing up a lot of gas fast and over coming the minor air leak.
Nice to see you are running your car.

I only have chips for 8 colors not including black, so, there may have been some lighter. Chillon Green was one of the chips that I had. My car was originally painted the gunmetal grey. Also, I have a book that list 5 colors for Spring edition cars (no chips). See attachment.

I painted my 38 Dodge coupe with Chillion Green lacquer about 30 years ago. It was one of the lightest colors for that year.

According to my 38 Dodge parts book the following heater models were available in 38: Model - 15 (Junior), 25 (Standard), 21 (Tri-Air), 24 (Tri-Air), 22 (Duo-Air), 23 (Super-Air)

The number on the pillar should be the serial number. The 38 Plymouths serial numbers ran in series depending where built. The following apply to 38 Plymouths.
P-5
1240001 - 1296615
3105301 - 3109407
9097601 - 9107725
P-6
10470001 - 10625650
3206001 - 3220997
20001001 - 20025900
Good Luck

The lens and reflectors are made by Riteway. What is the diameter of the lens, I may have some.

Before you go to the trouble of pulling the axle, check the back side of the axle housing for some small plugs near the ends. These plugs were used on the early Chryslers so you could remove and screw in a grease fitting. After greasing you put the plug back. If you can do it this way don't over grease. You should not have to grease more than one every 10,000 miles

Is there a serial number on the body. If not what is the starting numbers on the engine (drivers side near the front of block under the head). Should be like "DD" or "CG" of "T-2"

Dan,
If all is tight on the engine and vacuum tank side, the only thing left is the line from the vacuum tank to the gas tank. Check this line for holes. The other problem I have had is the pickup line in the fuel tank has rusted through in places and will not allow a full flow of fuel.
