'59 Plymouth Forum

Roger, The exhaust gas crossover and early fuel evaporation control valve or heat riser is entirely for driveability in cold weather driving and cold start units with automatic choke units. Again I was trying to stay out of the deep end of the pool where all the bodys are. The latent heat of the vap...

Hi, I am going to give you the old mechanical tech view of the oil baffle/shield and windage tray and what they are intended for without going to the deep end of the pool; Oil baffle/shield, The heat crossover in the intake manifold gets so hot that it bakes the oil and impurities to the bottom of t...

Ernie; I assure you it is better to tow with your Plymouth, than with the old Ford. Automatic transmission equiped vehicles make better tow units. I have towed many thousands of problem free miles with Power Flite and Torque Flite cast iron transmissions. Make sure your radiator and transmission oil...

Golden commando air cleaners in 59? any way The chrysler 300 club has many of the aircleaners re-popped and are very nice with a matching price. The 395 aircleaner may be redone in Colorado If a minum number of orders are met, also not cheap. I will check if I have a early shift cable. I need to kno...

Advance Auto sells the rebuild kits for the early Federal pumps.

I have some metal kick panels from a 60. Do they work?

F.Y.I. The original oval air cleaner necks are too small for the newer carbs, maybe someone makes a reverse adapter. Dual carbs should be small C.F.M. rated. The original AFB carbs work just fine. I have no idea what the CFM rating was, I would guess less than 600 C.F.M. together.

Bell housing 1925826 also Dodge truck with A engine and Load Flite. Hollander number 408.

I have read the responses twice, and it looks like they say the same thing. other than the 59 to 60 bell housing do not use the plate, its inclusive. I will take pictures of one and post them.

Hey this isn't even a Mopar of any year! But remember to be carefull when you drive through a fence! The fastest way to clean this mess is a blue wrench.

My guess would be 600 plus being I have an engine hoist that would pick up an early Hemi engine but couldn't budge the early Big Chrysler 6 cylinder engine less a transmission.

Can a creative metal worker make one from one of the new roadrunner reprodutctions from Direct Connection? I think I am going to give it a try myself. Ricky Mopar
