I do not know if these are the same wheels, it has been a while, he lived about 2 or 2.5 hours ( maybe ) outside of Tampa, I remember him having his daughter drop off a trans to me locally here as she was just passing thru.
Any idea on these wheels? They're cheap, but I don't want to buy if they're not correct.

checked my fuel line and while it is steel, there was no apparent seam in the tubing. So, maybe it is a replacement. I took a picture of the flared end on the engine side; the fuel tank end is the same. I also used a blue arrow to point out the clip on the firewall post; was that used to secure the fuel line up to the vacuum canister? Thanks. Kim

Thanks Jason. I'll look for that. Kim

Hi Ted. I have several photos for you (attached). I do not know for sure that this is the original fuel line or that it is the original routing. When I was given the car in about 1954 it already had an electric fuel pump on the firewall in place of the vacuum fuel canister. So, you can take a look. The fuel lines runs forward from the gas tank along the inside of the right frame rail. At the front of the cab beneath the firewall there are two clips you can see in the picture that I believe secured the fuel line as it rose up from the frame to the vacuum fuel canister. Pictures 1 & 2 are from the rear looking forward; pictures 3 & 4 are from the front looking back. Hope this helps. Kim

The distributor cost me 390 including postage. They did very fast work. i rang him monday morning and he told me the bad new about original, so i gave he the go ahead for the new one. I then rang him at lunch time on same day, to give him payment and he said that it was finished. Then i received both back tuesday morning. So am very happy with results and service.
Just for comparison if the original was able to get re bushed, this started at 200.
They even riveted the original delco badge on it for me...
I am sure there would be a company in US that could do this for u.
I havent followed the manual (completely forgot about it actually) and been following what i know. Will certainly have a look now.
the thing thats annoying me is its a random miss. And i cant seem to narrow down to a specific cylinder.

Quote from: kimmc on February 23, 2013, 02:22:53 AMI am curious what are the cons people have experienced ( besides the cost ) with machining these engines for removable inserts, sounds like people are apposed to it but I am wondering for what reasons?
My '29 engine is back home...no work done to it. I'll start on it myself with help from some friends. I think we will be able to figure out what needs to be done. I am hoping that everything is good. It was last run in 1957. But it been kept lubricated so it turns over freely. Still, I have my fingers crossed.

The PLYMOUTH MASTER PARTS LIST dated Apr. 1 1934 is the 'bible' we use today. It covers 28Q to 33PC/PD. It does not cover 1934s although it was printed in '34. Your copy should be Chrysler part number D-2660. The number is at the bottom of the front cover. Any parts books previous to this one would be suspect as it's believed Chrysler would correct any errors as they went on through the years with these manuals. However with that said I do know that it shows 1932 PB and 1933 PC/PD wire wheel hubcaps to be the same part number. In actual fact '32 PB hubcaps had a slightly 'rounded' edge to them ,different than '31 PAs, and '33 PC/PDs had an indented 'scalloped' edge to them. Otherwise they were the same. It appears by 1934 Chysler just wanted to stock the one cap and so settled on the last one in production. Is this the kind of 'error' you're looking at?
