My 1958 Plymouth with a 318 has always started up and ran great. Last weekend it was idling for about 10 minutes when all of a sudden it died. It would crank and fire briefly and then immediately die. I checked the fuel pump and it is pumping fuel. I changed the fuel filter and no change...

Good morning, I just replaced the fuel tank in my 1958 Plymouth with a nice used one from John at Big M Auto. The tank cleaned up nicely and I replace the filler neck O-ring and the sending unit gasket. I didn't think about the drain plug gasket and now that I have fuel in the car I see it is...

It looks like I need new fuel tanks for my 1958 Plymouth and my 1959 Dodge. I had hoped to use the original tanks as both were clean and rust free inside. The problem was that both had been smashed/dented in the past and has small leaks. I did try JB Tank weld and it worked for a few months...

My 1959 Dodge Coronet has a a 2 barrel Stromberg WW carb on it. About 6 months ago I rebuilt the carb but have had some problems with it. Just this past weekend I tried to run the car but could not get it too idle. There was a strong smell of fuel and lots of exhaust smoke. I then noticed the...

I've just gotten my engine running in my 1959 Dodge Coronet. I had to jump the coil directly from the battery because the resistor was dropping the voltage to 6v and it was not enough to spark the plugs. I've been testing the engine for the last couple of days and now it sounds like a high...

Good evening everyone, I've got my new/used 326 Red Ram in my car. Engine spins over nicely, I have spark and good oil pressure while cranking. The problem is when I turn the key the engine will crank and attempt to fire but then stop. Then I turn the key and nothing...no clicking nothing...

Good morning, I'm trying to find the driver side stainless corner elbow piece that goes under and behind the gas door (see picture). If anyone has one or knows someone that does, please let me know. Thanks!!

Good morning everyone, I'm finishing up restoring the engine on my 1959 Dodge Coronet. Before I drop the engine in the car I need to fix the drum style parking brake on the back of the Powerflight transmission. The reason is that it does not have really any travel when pulling the parking...

Good morning, I'm working on my 1959 Dodge Coronet. I ordered a pinion seal from Rock Auto and was sent a National 5126. This seal has an outside diameter of 2.81 where as the original was 2.74. I could feel and see that the replacement was actually larger but I tried to install it anyways...

I'm ready to assemble the used engine I bought to replace the locked up engine from my Coronet. I've used a straight edge to verify everything is within 0.004 tolerance with the straight edge on the block and heads. I've also chased all the head bolt holes and I'm ready to assemble. I looked...

Good morning everyone, I recently acquired a replacement 326 engine for my 1959 Dodge Coronet (the original was locked up on 2 cylinders). One thing I noticed on the replacement passenger side cylinder head is that the 4 intake valve pushrods will not come out of the head (they move around...

I pulled a front and rear wheel and removed the drum on my 1959 Dodge Coronet. I was expecting it to be easy to identify but I'm just not positive. I think it's the 3 platform type brakes but wanted to confirm with the experts here. I'm also curious where the best place is to buy brake shoes...

I'm wondering if anyone has a factory 1959 Dodge Coronet cigarette lighter (goes in the dash by the gauges), a hood ornament and driver side rear trim corner piece. I've included pictures of what I'm looking for. Thanks.

I posted this in the forward look forum but figured it would help to post here. The engine in my 1959 Dodge Coronet is stuck. I started about a week ago putting a 50/50 mix of diesel fuel and ATF in the cylinders to lossen it up. The story behind the engine is that the original owner parked...

Good morning everyone, I just wanted to introduce my new to me 1959 Dodge Coronet 2 dr HT. I started looking for this car when I saw the post on the "Bastardized Coronet" posted by Wetskier2000. Once I saw the grumpy front end and those amazing fins/tail lights I knew I was in love and I had...

I've been thinking about buying a 1959 Dodge Coronet. There don't seem to be a lot of those out there for sale. I've seen a few 4 door cars that run and drive for around $8-12k. As expected, 2 door cars are more expensive. So what is a fair price for a 2 or 4 door that does not run and needs...

My car runs ok but been thinking I should rebuild the carb. Most shops around me charge $275 and up for that service and I've done a few rebuilds in the past and not hard. My question is, does anyone know where to buy a rebuild kit for the factory Carter/AFB 4 barrel carb that came on the 318...

Good morning all, I've noticed that the Fel pro cork gaskets I used on my valve covers do not seem to be thick enough. I'm not sure if there is a slight bow in the valve covers, but once the three bolts are tightened down I can still move the lower edge in the center of the valve cover gasket...
