1932 Chrysler CP8 restoration


Recommended Posts

We are in Arizona and looking for someone to help guide us with the restoration of our car.  We are specifically trying to determine what engine parts we are missing and would love to see a complete version.  If anyone lives here locally or has in depth pictures of the 1932 straight 8 engine, we would greatly appreciate the help.

A few photos of my 1931 Chrysler CD8 Engine, CP8 would be nearly identical (piston diameter 3.25"). First photos are as found before painting etc. Carburetor is Carter, same as used on 1969 era Ford Pickup, but similar functionally to original Stromberg. These will give you an idea of what a full engine used for accessories etc.

We are specifically looking to get more information on the areas with red arrows. The electrical piece at the base of the steering column, what the part number is on the distributor, information on the carburetor linkage and how it’s to the steering column as well as the carburetor, etc. any information and/or closer pictures of these areas are greatly appreciated

We have just acquired a CP8. Trying to find the torsion spring assembly on the throttle bell crank you show in your picture. Do you have any info on this part?

thanks
