I used Dave Lucash in Warrenton, Va. He rebuilt the engine in my 1941 Plymouth and my 1956 Thunderbird. Nice guy, very pleased with his work. https://www.lucashracingengines.com/index.php

Regarding Edd China, it appears he is starting a YouTube channel: Jim Yergin

The base is the storage tank and it is filled by removing the round vented cap (see picture). The tank contains sponges. It does not leak. I do not have a scale and do not know its weight but it is not very heavy. The base is 18" long, 7 1/4" wide and 4 1/2" tall. The blower/motor assembly is 11 1/2" tall.

Cleaning out garage. This is a dual heater set up I bought for my 1941 Plymouth (don't know if it works in other years and models). Need to add r/h and l/h heaters. Giving it away. You may pick it up or I will bring it to a local shipper that you contract with to crate and ship. Located in Warrenton, Virginia. Jim Yergin jyergin@comcast.net

On my '56 there is no bracket at the rear of the radio. There are brackets on either side of the radio. Jim Yergin

I am in Warrenton, Virginia. If you are looking for an engine machine shop near Woodbridge I highly recommend Dave Lucash in Opal, Virginia (http://www.proautoperformancecenter.com/). He did my 1941 Plymouth engine (included re-sleeving one cylinder) and my 1956 Thunderbird Y block. He was very timely and I was very pleased with his work. Nice guy to work with. Jim Yergin

A while back I took the Friday afternoon tour of FantomWorks that is conducted by Dan Short. At that time he said he actually lost money on the TV show. I wonder if Motor Trend cancelled the show or he just chose not to continue with it. Jim Yergin

I noticed that the painter on the show used to be the painter on the Fantom Works show. Jim Yergin

John, I was under the impression that the "T" on the Virginia plates signifies they are for a truck. It could certainly be a wrong impression but you may want to verify with the DMV that you may use them on your car. Jim Yergin

Thanks paul2748. If the terminal placement is different then I guess my switch is for a different application. I will use it as a simple on/off switch until I can find a correct one. Jim Yergin

Here are pictures of what I believe to be my original Ford driving lamps switch. However I am confused by the connections. When the switch is off there is continuity only between the bottom terminal in the picture and the top right hand terminal. When the switch is in the on position there is only continuiity bewteen the bottom terminal and the top left hand terminal. Given those connections, I do not understand how the connections between the power source, the driving lamps, and the tail lights (as shown in the Ford installation instructions) work. Can someone help me understand them? Is my switch actually for some other application? Thanks. Jim Yergin

paul2748, I did check continuity both ways. When you say "there is no feedback to the road lamps when the regular lights are on" do mean that, when the road lamp switch is off but the headlights are on, the road lamps are not on? Jim Yergin

Thanks paul2748. There is no diode and the wires are not on the same terminal. The tail light wire has its own terminal as does the driving lights wire. However, in the off position, there is continuity between the two terminals. Laws like the the one you cited in NJ would explain the set-up. Jim Yergin

I know this is an old thread but I have a question regarding the driving lights. I have a 1956 Thunderbird. It has the optional driving lights installed on the front bumper but it did not have an original driving light switch. I managed to find an original switch but I am not sure as to how the lights were orginally set-up. In reviewing the wiring instructions in the Electrical Equpiment Installation Manual for installing the driving lights and checking the operation of the switch, it appears that when the switch knob is pulled out to the on position, just the driving lights are turned on. When the knob is pushed in, the driving lights are off unless the the tail lights are on (parking lights on or headlights on) because of the way the tail lights are wired into the switch. There are three terminals on the switch: power; driving lights; and tail lights. In the on position the power terminal is connected to the driving lights terminal but not to the tail lights terminal. When the switch is in the off position, the power terminal is not connected to either of the other two terminals but the tail light terminal is connected to the driving lights terminal. That is why I assume, if the tail lights are on, then the the driving lights will also be on. Can anyone confirm my assumption? If that is correct, why would they be set-up so that you do not have the option of not using the driving lights if the headlights are on? Thanks. Jim Yergin

Here are some pictures showing the routing of the original gas line on my '56 Thunderbird. I think it is the same for a '55. The gas tank has been removed. Hope this helps. Jim Yergin

Your Dodge may have a locating pin on the drum that fits in a hole on the original wheels. The Ford and AMC wheels may not have those holes. Just something to check. Jim Yergin

Thanks Lew. Much appreciated. Jim Yergin

Can someone please help an old man with a memory problem? I am reassembling the 312 engine out of my 1956 Thunderbird and I have this part that I cannot remember where it goes. Can someone enlighten me? Thanks. Jim Yergin
