30U also had a had a 2 wing cap

This is definitely a 29/30 Dodge DA rad cap as well. Don't know anything about it being a Plymouth cap but I know very little about Plymouth

I have several color bulletins for the 32 Plymouth cars but nothing for 29.

Here is a photo of that oil vac pump, I thought I had verified earlier that the earliest Plymouth's used a Kingston tank, is that correct?

I know this Oil -Vac is a Kingston set-up but I guess I was just not aware that it was driven thru the oil pump.

Was this system used on the 28-30 and then sometime during thirty changed to a mechanical pump?

I have some good pictures of this now and will post them in a day or three, have a bit of a flu right now and my mind is not on anything else but getting over this.

Thanks, hopefully so.

Another person on another forum said he could and would post some pict. and if he can I may post them here with some more questions

I am not quite sure what the question is but the oil pump on the early Plymouths provided the vacuum for the Vacuum fuel pump.  The oil pump provided more consistent vacuum then the manifold.

Chet...

Thanks, I did not know this, do you have a photo of the connections/assy in place.

I am also curious if the engine block itself is marked Oil-vac as I am assuming this gentleman stated by this comment...........because on the side of the block on my 4 cylinder plymouth engine it says oil-vac where the oil pump is..............

Can you post a picture of where you would attach it to the oil pump, is there any indicator on the engine block that stated Oil-vac

I am part of a discussion on another forum concerning this set-up and will copy and paste the jist of this dialogue........... if i am not mistakeing if you have a vacume tank, doesn't the oil pump some how work the vacume tank. because on the side of the block on my 4 cylinder plymouth engine it says oil-vac where the oil pump is.........the oil-vac ( or vacuum fuel canister as we like to call it ) was operated in unison with the oil pump, I remember reading that this was to refute the tendency of losing vacuum when climbing a hill or what have you.

His truck is a 29 Dodge with the 4 cyl Plymouth engine.

I am wondering if anyone has seen this set-up on any of their Plymouth engines.

I am wondering where Oil Vac would be stamped on the block, seems odd that they would cast this writing into the truck engines but not the car. I am under the assumption that the truck engines were identical with the car except some of the bolt on items.

Can anyone add anything to help clear this up?

Nice job, keep up the great work, I am enjoying following this thread

I am seeking information ( any information at this point ) concerning early Plymouth trucks, late 20 early thirties. Information such as serial number versus motor number designation would be especially helpful at this point. Anyone have any suggestions?

Very nice car, I do hope you plan to maintain it as an original car

I was thinking I would just bolt down the front engine mount directly to the frame like the rear motor mounts.  What good is 1 piece of rubber like a hockey puck going to do?    Thanks for suggestions; I like those.  I will remind the mechanic about the distributor...he's real savvy about old engines, but I always worry about those delicate parts.  Took a couple of days off working on the car.  A friend called me and said he had picked up a '29U complete engine in AZ that he thought I would want.  I went to San Francisco to pick it up; turned out it was a '30 Dodge truck engine I think (different than the '29U engine).  I didn't buy it so if anyone is interested I have a couple of pictures and the motor number (UT22672).  Tomorrow I will continue to degrease all the parts I pulled off then prime them before I put them on the shelf for their eventual return to the car.  I'll continue to post stuff so stay tuned.  Thanks again.  Kim Mc

Hello, would it be possible to send some pictures and info to jhason2@yahoo.com Thanks

Save the box, it would be a shame to even use it, Id display it as is

I doubt that is possible on most rear-ends, I never would have thought it would be on any

Not much help right now for you guys but this Guy ( Glen ) does first rate work and can and will re-produce anything hardware wise that you guys would need. Not cheap but cheaper if there is more than one item to do ...........http://www.vintageandclassicreproductions.com/plymouth.htm
