Assuming you have a 2nd-Series '49 (ignition lock on left of steering column, turn key to crank the engine like a modern car) I'd use a test light to see if there is 6V going to the 'start' wire on the solenoid when the key is turned to the start position. If yes, I'd use a test light to see if there is electricity to the starter when the key is in the start position. If nothing is going to the starter, you probably have a bad starter solenoid. Make sure whoever is helping you has the transmission in neutral and/or the clutch depressed so the car won't move if it suddenly begins to crank. If you have a first-Series '49 (with starter button on dash) the same suggestions apply.

Two excellent sales catalogs for the '93 Crown Vic. Both are the same. Each is full color, printed on glossy paper, with 15 pages. $12.00 gets the pair, postpaid in the lower 48 States. PayPal is fine. Harold

If from 1970's, were they 'Qyx' machines?

Don't know about newer bulbs, but if your battery is near the front of the car you can rewire the headlights to operate from a relay that is controlled by the wire coming from your headlight switch. Your headlights would be powered from the relay and would receive more voltage and be brighter. DC electrical systems have a lot of voltage loss through the wiring that you'd minimize by doing this modification, and you could probably hide the relay so it wouldn't be obvious.

Six issues of Car Collector Magazine all in excellent condition. I got the magazines new and have stored them carefully all these years. Sorry about some glare in the picture. Here's what you get: Jan 1990 Nov 1990 Apr 1992 May 1992 Apr 1993 Aug 1993 $19.00 for all, postpaid in USA. Thanks for looking. Harold

Here's an Acme A-40 12V positive ground rebuilt voltage regulator still in its package. According to the label, it fits 1953-55 Chrysler Crown Imperial and 1955 Packard. May fit others. It's probably NORS, but the screw terminal bag is open so I hesitate to say for sure that it is. $25.00 + shipping anywhere in the lower 48 states. PayPal is fine. Thanks for looking! Harold

Price reduced to $15.00 postpaid in USA.

In case it wasn't mentioned previously, it wasn't illegal to roll back odometers until the early 1970's, and even after that time the law was generally ignored. My contention is that nearly every used car was clocked if it was sold used (especially by a dealer) 'way back when'. I don't trust any 'low mileage' claim unless there is a stack of documentation to support it.

Punch the VIN into Google. It may have been posted online in an ad at some point.

Practical Classics is a great British collector car magazine that has very well-written and thoroughly-illustrated how-to articles as well as featured-car content. I subscribed in the 1990's, stored the magazines in our smoke-free and pet-free home, and now it's time to part with them. There are 69 issues (if I added right!) and they're all in nice condition (a few have some curling from storage, but they can probably be pressed-out). The magazines are printed on heavy glossy stock and would be fairly costly to ship. The lot is $75.00 picked-up in or near Freehold, NJ. That's only $1.09 per magazine, a tremendous value. Please bring cash! Here's the list: 1994: 11 issues (missing Spring and January) 1995: 13 issues 1996: 13 issues 1997: 13 issues 1998: 10 issues (missing Jan, July, Sept) 1999: 9 issues (missing Jan, Feb, Mar, Apr) Thanks, Harold

Here's an original Chrysler dealer service training manual titled 'Using The Infra-Red Analyzer as a Diagnostic Tool', publication number 81-884-9001. It is undated but I think it's from 1981 based on the publication number . The manual has 63 pages of detailed instructions on testing and adjusting the engine to idle smooth and run well by using the information supplied by the infra-red analyzer. This manual is a must-have if you drive, repair, or restore vintage Chrysler, Plymouth, or Dodge cars. $20.00 postpaid in USA. PayPal is fine. Harold

Fastenal also has a good selection of screws and related items. They're a nationwide chain so there is probably one near you.

The original engine number is stamped somewhere on the frame. In Plymouths of this era, it is on the frame rail near the left rear wheel; I'd suspect the same is true for Chrysler. You may want to consider posting on the p15-d24.com forum. There are also many knowledgeable Mopar folk there and you may get a better idea of the location of the frame number.

UPDATE: We spent the weekend in Seattle but did not make the museum because of a scheduling conflict. Bummer. We'll be visiting again in the next year or so and will definitely get there. Thanks to all for your comments. Harold
