Hi Peter, Do you happen to have any Deco 15436 Distributor caps for sale? If you do what would 2 cost shipped to Washington State USA? Take care! -Andrew

Do you happen to still have that Delco 15436 cap?

wow I dident think of that thanks

I am locking for a good place to get a headliner for my 1946 dodge 4 door, fluid drive. I have only fond decussating vinyl stuff. On a side note does anyone know if I can get new ready to use door panels? Thank you for any info. (Location Vancouver WA)

Thank you, I just got a (OEM) MoPar repair manual off EBay. I gees this is where the iron hits the steel. Thank you for all of your help this has been an interesting run. I got this car hoping it was going to be like a Plymouth, but it has its differences and quarks. But I am still more then happy with it. Thank you again for all if the insight and help with the old girl. Andrew

The idea with the wrenches and floorboards was to eliminate the linkage from the mess. It did work the problem happens regardles. I rechecked the clutch. so I ges it is the transmission. I did find a build up of mud under the clutch fork, but cleaning it out had no chang. So what do I have in sore for me in side the transmission? Thank you for all the help

The transmission works flawlessly in R 1 2 but it is reel hard to get in to 3 I lubed the shifting linkage, adjusted the clutch linkage and it seems to be slitley better(not good yet), this may just be the car being used, or me getting the hang of the ?dance? but I think that my illuminating of the linkage is a good step in diagnosis.

The Rubber bushing on the fire wall is fine and the clutch is adjusted to the MoTers manual. It may be that the linkage has one or mare bushings that ate worn-out. I am thinking of fabricating a temperately flour board that will give me access to the selector lever on the transmission, weld a old 7/16 socket(Japan) on to a ¼ inch rod and place it on the arm nut. This would eliminate the linkage from the equation and let me rule out the transmission or the linkage. Of core safety is very imported so this would not be a balling wire job, and it is important not to reek on the nut.

Thank you, I will try the adjustment first thing tomarow morning. How would I tell if the clutch is coming apart inside?

thay did have a manual, it is shown in the 1946 brochure and it is printed on the tech sheet(OEM)that I have for the car. I ran in to the same problem lookin for thew swiches on the carberator but ther are none. This is a shock to me to but it is what it is.

I don?t understand about the automatic. it is a 3 speed transmission with a reveres gear towards you and up. 1st is toward you and down. 2nt is up and 3rd is down. It looks just like a Chrysler transmission and when I let off the gas I don?t here a click at all? I am shore puzzled.

have a 1946 dodge fluid drive with the manual, that has a hard time getting in to third gear it will go in if the vehicle is stopped but if you are moving it is a reel dance. Does any body know what to do to adjust /fix this? it was drivin once a mounth by the guy I got it from but that is kind of iffey. It will go in to 3rd if you put it in nutril and pop it up and down 4 to 5 times and/or jiggle the stick randomly. it will go in to therd at a stop. I have hade the car for 2 weeks and have put 50 mmiles on it mostley bringing it home and going around town

Thanks I have been trying to find one in paper. I hare looking at a computer screen at 1940s info.
