Happy New Year to All. Am locked into the bitter cold of the North East. Definitely not "Top Down" weather!

Noticed a puddle of oil under the passenger side top cylinder upon the new carpet job. So after tightening hose connection and a long wait and see approach, put in new cylinder and hose set from Hydro Electric and am ready for drop top cruising! It appears leak was at the cylinder base.

Thanks Matthew! Will do.

I dropped the new tank today and found one of Van's wonderful sending units replete with the 115-13 ohm range. Guess I'll try to live with it . and keep my eyes out for a correct one. Does anyone know where to purchase the right one??

Hi Matthew-I'm kinda leaning toward a Carlisle visit this year. I think the Plym may have a trip in her!

Just to offer some encouragement I'm very interested in a pair when you get to them.

In preparation for the" Susquehanna Concourse d'elganse",spellcheck smoked over that one-I installed new carpets and repaired a bunch of under dash/weak floors etc. and am ready to tour this season. Hope everyone had a good Winter. Of course I see Dick Koch never has a Winter!! 2017 plym c...

I ran out of gas this past summer with a quarter tank. I am going to make sure the float actually bottoms out on the tank bottom. Hopefully the gauge will read empty at that point. If not I'll go the "try to remember" route.

I had what may have been a similar problem with a Chevy I was restoring. The w. strip was too thick. I used a very sharp pair of upholstery scissors to shave about 3/8" off the back and re glued it after doing an appraisal. Worked out in my case. Good luck.

Great pictures Dan. Got my Carlisle juices flowing again. Must do 2017!!!

The Plym lives again. All the clutch plates decided to shed their decades old material at once and cover the pickup screen. Marc my tranny man worked his magic and all is well. I never really did much to the torque flight originally, so can't complain about the old girl now. This may motivate me to ...

Lost locomotion with little warning a few days ago. Noticed it wouldn't shift up into third and within a quarter mile the old girl was "dead in the water" OUCH! Goes into the ER on the 25TH. Nothing burnt etc. ??? Front Pump??? Will report further as facts avail themselves.

Thanks Dick-So noted.

I'm finally getting ready to try my luck at the hei install that dick got me started on so long ago. Got sidetracked, but am going to get the Plym out of mothballs and give it a go soon. Now if i can remember where I put that distributor???

Have fun Dan. Good luck finding the SF!!!
