1948 Chrysler Royal C-38


Recommended Posts

I just tuned up my 48 Royal (Points, Condenser, Cap and Rotor)and try as I may I cannot set the timing by the book I have to advance it around 5 degrees, it still vibrates or hesitates when accelerating, or coming off the clutch (Its a Fluid Drive).

I changed the transmission fluid (3 Pints of 10 weight oil), and cleaned the filter.

Could the Carburator be the culprit or maybe the torque converter is low on oil?

If the torque is low on oil it will run like the clutch is slipping badly. The unit should be filled to the top and if you have never changed it it is a good idea to do so.
