I've been searching for a number 54 power bypass jet as used on a Stromberg WW 2 bbl carb. fitted to a 325 poly engine. Checked various sources and so far nil. Anyone out there that might have a number 54 power bypass jet, I sure would appreciate a contact. Thanks, Bill w5sg.bill@gmail.com 713...

These parts will fit various MOPAR cars of the late 50's. They came off of a 1957 Desoto Firesweep. Most items have less that 1500 miles on them. These items are heavy and the packing and shipping costs are extra from zip code 77379. I would prefer pickup at my place. If you would like...

No, it is like the following picture. I did find a rebuilder in Selma, OR and have sent him my old one for rebuilding. Pricey, but has a 3 year warranty.

Thanks, but that pump is not for a 325 poly.

Need a water pump for a 325 poly engine that is in my '57 Desoto Firesweep. Any leads appreciated. 713 898-6928 Bill, Klein, TX

Update on the vacuum advance. The purists may not care for my solution, but after buying a "NOS Vacuum advance" that failed within a week due to an old dried out diaphragm, I decided to try another tact where I ended buying a new BWD V194 vacuum advance (fits later model MOPAR small blocks)...

Any chance anyone might have a good vacuum advance assembly for a 57 Desoto Firesweep. The one I have is marked 13. Picture below. Thanks, Bill, w5sg.bill@gmail.com or 713 898-6928

The 1957 Desoto received a bit of press in the Houston Chronicle yesterday. Here is a link to the article. http://blog.chron.com/heidispics/2015/01/1957-de-soto-firesweep-sportsman-from-a-farm-to-the-road/

Thanks. I am really happy with the way it turned out.

Been doing some final things on the car and have been driving it around a bit. Everything seems to be working well and the ride and handling is great.

Thanks Steve. Those guys at the chrome shop and the paint shop really did a great job in quick order. I happened to catch the paint shop when things were slow and they really got on it.

Thanks for the comments. We need to meet up one of these days. I try to get over to the Niftee 50's show either with the '57 Desoto or the '53 Ford on Saturday evenings. BTW, if you know of anyone that might like a mild custom '53 Ford steer them my way. Here is a link to the car. 1953 Ford...

I was notified that the video link I posted no longer works. I hope this one will. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rmwdynA1Qsk&index=4&list=UUMxgi9XLxkx7ATdy7xTMr3g

Thanks Vanish.

Thanks for the comment on the car. Not sure about Carlisle, but that would be a great road trip.

Thanks. I will be checking the site often. OK on the "C" body, but I'll have to get a bigger garage first.

The '57 Desoto Firesweep Sportsman project is done The 1957 Desoto Firesweep Sportsman is done.... I'm sure there will be a few things to do here and there, but I'm now enjoying the driving everyday. I just wanted to thank For C Bodies Only.com for allowing this space to present this...

Thanks, I sure have enjoyed the build and you hit the mark about attempting to be period correct. The Firesweep I had in '62 had the same patterns for the seats and door panels. It was a black and gold Firesweep and the interior matched. It did not have an upholstered trunk though. We went...
