  1. I don't know if this man makes kits for Chrylser or not, but he does have kits for Dodge and Plymouth from the 40s and 50s. Hopoe this helps some, you can contact him at www.rustyhopes.com . I don't have his phone nr but he spends a lot of time on the P15-D24 site and everyone there kinows him so they can vouch for his products. Jerry
  2. Harry, I'm looking for the same thing that Jerrythecop is, a replacement carb or rebuild kit for my 1950Chrysler (mine is a Highlander ) 6 cyl, along with the electric swithces or relays that attach to it and operate the trans. Thanks Jerry (not the cop) LOL
  3. Hi Folks, New guy here with a stupid question, but please bare with me. I think I already know the answer, just want to make sure and all my reference books are packed up for our move. OK, I recently got a '50 or '51 Chrysler Highlander from a guy that was storing it for another guy (you would not berlieve what I have in it). When it was brought to storage, the man drove it in and it ran like a new one, super quiet and very powerful and the auto/stick worked fine. The ONLY thing wrong with it was a problem in the charging sysem. When I went today to get the battery out of it, I found it was hooked up as NEG Ground. I thought all the Chryslers of those yrs were POS Ground. Am I correct in my belief or was the battery connected correctly? I don't believe I could be so lucky as to have that be the only thing wrong with this car. Have I hit the lottery or was the old owner doing it right?
  4. I know nothing of the GM products of that era either, but will tell you that if it has a closed drive line system, (as I know the '47 Chevy does), then one of the first jobs on the list should be the loosening of the rear end and torque tube and pulling them back to allow you room to remove the tranny. A quick word of advice here, when you jack the car up, or if you put it on a lift, make sure you remove the weight of the vehicle from the rear axle. Use jack stands and brace the frame of the car up and the wheels on the ground so you can roll the rear axle back. This is the way my dad did it and it seemed to work well and was faster than any method my uncle tried when he was doing it. Good luck.
