he has a catalog with specs for lots of cars, for some reason this car/engine it not listed. The so called educated guess after calling all over is 6-7lbs.

Jason @ Mac's had been outstanding, thanks! He really knows the biz & has been great............we are about to start the production and the question now is what pressure radiator cap is the correct one? My understanding is "low", I hear there is 3lb, 5lb, and 7? Any help from any of you is...

Many thx for the reply! Any guesses how I can confirm either way?

One of my mechanics ordered a wiring diagram for this car and what arrived is a C 3738 and 39. This is a C 40, 323.5 flathead. The diagram that arrived states it’s a positive ground. This car set up as negative ground and the mechanic I bought the car from states everything is completely...

Thx very much Dave for the reply & input. The claim is all the uncrimping, cutting the core to fit (may have that wrong) soldering back up, but I hear you! I'll be on the phone w Mac's first thing Monday!

Need Help from the MOPAR Brain Trust Calling on the collective wisdom of this great forum—if anyone can help crack this, it’s you folks. Working on my 1948 Chrysler Crown Imperial Limousine and have hit a wall with the original copper/brass radiator. It flow-tested at just 60%. At 1 psi, one...

Gotcha, thanks for the reply. Hate to use something like that as a parts car, and I’m not quite sure how much is interchangeable to my 1948 Crown Imperial limousine. Suffice it to say it’s already been chopped up, good or bad, already

Any chance you have seen it?

Great to hear from you, thank you! How does it work? There seems to be different opinions if there was a button at the end of the shifter. I don’t think that is the case - but I’m all ears! Can’t find anything so far.

There is no overdrive - it’s the Fluid Drive, 1st, 2nd and when you let up on the gas in 2nd it shifts to third

When I inquired about a new shift knob, I was told they "all" have threads to attach, however as you can see with the attached pictures, mine has splines. Tried to twist the spline part off to see about the threads and found there is a WIRE inside the shifter that goes into the steering column...

fair enough........found one for a mere 325, the one pictured is in pretty good condition considering and not been causing a problem.......yet...:rofl:

I appreciate it......my concern w that is the 6 cyc housing has a smaller diameter that the 8, wondering if it would restrict flow

they do look similar, but the lower hose diameter is larger for the 8. Thx for the tip for vintage power wagons, no luck there.....

thank you for the replies! here you go
