General Discussion / Re: grease fittings
July 31, 2011, 08:26:50 AM
I replaced all my zerk fittings with the ball type, mainly because I had no way to grease the zerk type.  If anybody is interested in the Zerk fitings I have the whole set for the 1929 plymouth coupe. Both staight and angled.
I am not in the business of selling items for the plymouths, if anybody has use for items I listed here it only costs you the shipping charges.

General Discussion / Whats this car?
July 17, 2011, 03:34:00 PM
Pictures attached. I saw this old vehicle at a car show this morning. I Took a few pictures, one of the emblem on the radiator shroud and a couple of the car. What kind of  car is this, I am thinking a Dodge maybe?

Also, this car had a vacuum fuel pump, The guy wouldn't sell it because somebody was maybe going to take the whole car, but, he has several vacuum pumps that he would sell, but does not know what they are for, and I have never seen one for the Plymouths. Can anybody post some pictures of a few years (maybe 28-29 & 30) and if he has one like it I would like to get one.
Thanks you

General Discussion / electric fuel pump
July 03, 2011, 11:12:49 AM
My electric fuel pump leaks. If I replace it does it matter if the replacement pump is Neg ground or positive ground? I see Model "A"s have a 6V Neg ground one available, but no positive ground ones...
OR, where would be a good place to find a 6V Positive ground electric fuel pump? 

Thanks

General Discussion / 125th Anniversary Celebration
June 26, 2011, 05:33:12 PM
I did get to the Parade for this anniversary celebration. It was a good parade, lots of interest in The OLD Plymouth. A few pictures attached. The first picture is why I've said "You can watch your dog run away for three days" in SD. The second, third and fourth are the Chrysler corp vehicles. The "32" Plymouth is the last one (Fourth) and it was made into a Rod. Pretty nice job also. The only other older plymouth in the parade.
Take care,
SD Glenn

General Discussion / Re: Antenna?

Chet, We got it fixed, thanks a whole lot.
I followed your instructions, even drew up the diagram. (The radio is on its own circuit)
When I started the Volt meter testing, I started with the ground on the car body and positive lead to my 12V lead to the radio, the volt meter showed no voltage, then I started the car, immediately I had a spike of .08 volts, and the radio died. I took the switch down from the dash (I have a switch on the dash to shut off the 12V system to the radio) and dropped it on the floor, the radio came back on with the engine running. Surprised me. As I moved the switch back toward  the dash the radio would die. The switch was mounted only about a foot to the left of the coil, a little further away and there is no longer a problem.(there is about 4 inches difference of where it works or not) (The coil and Ignition Key are one assemble on the back side of the dash)
I would not have located this for a long, long time without your help. Thanks again.

LOL, no, we will be trailering the Plymouth. However, I am pretty confident the Plymouth would make the trip (along with AAA of course). I have put a lot of miles on and had no problems, of course problems show up when you area long way from home, or in an ackward place.

Chet, I will do that first thing tomorrow. After breakfast of course. lol I appreciate you taking the time to help me figure this out. There is a parade this coming weekend, about 100 mile north of me, but my grandson (8 year old)  may be going with me, he seems to have some interest in these older cars, and likes to wave at the people and throw candy. lol
Later, thanks

Here are some of the tools I happen to have. I have more and will post them later as I get them together. Certain tools I need for my Plymouth, the rest can go.

one more thing ...... it is now 5PM, I have been trying different things with the radio, checking all the wiring, etc.

The last thing I noticed was... I reached over and shut off the radio, I got a shock. Not hard but enough to make me jump. lol.  What do you think of that developement? Could RFI cause that to happen, or my imagination? lol

I did put a transistor radio next to the car radio, the car radio died when I started the car and the transistor radio played on with no change in the volume and no static.

Thanks,

Chet, Just about all you said is Greek to me. lol  What would happen if I put a transistor radio near the radio?
Where would a diode be installed, to isolate the AC Signal? 
Where would the AC signal come from?
The coil or cap will only work for radio frequency and must match the frequency to eliminate the signal. I don't know what this means? 
I am not very bright on this kind of stuff.... sorry,,, not bright at all about this stuff. Thanks,

Chet,
I tryed putting just a lead cable on my radio, the reception was pretty good, again as soon as I started the engine the same thing happened-- lost reception and the LEDs went goofy.

I tryed cranking the engine without the ignition on, the radio played on, immediately when I turned on the key the radio quit. lol.

I wonder, the 29 has a coil wire that is close to 6 feet long, from the distributor, thru the firewall, to the coil on the back side of the dask. Do you suppose, the  coil being that close to the radio there could be some feed back that would effect this thing. lol (Picking at straws now maybe)

I may try a new RFI Coil wire tomorrow(if I can find one that long) to see what happens.
Thanks,
SD Glenn

General Discussion / Re: Tools
June 20, 2011, 11:20:18 PM
LOL,  The tools I have are probable from some old timers mechanic shop, or general shade tree mechanic. Some may belong to Plymouths, some to other brands of car, some may not be as old as I think, some of you can enlighten me on those. lol  If anybody wants a tool, what I would like is to be sure these are not to be put up for sale to make a profit on, and mostly to help someone complete thier set (not to build a complete set) I have enough tools (I was a Mechanic for a Ford garage for many years and even ran my own shop for a spell) I guess I don't need Sears. lol
I took pictures today, probable 100 lbs of tools out of my main box (I sure like the extra room), then the camera quit working and would not down load the pictures. Tomorrow I will retake the picture. Some of the tools I show will not go to a new home, but most will if anybody wants.   Later,
SD Glenn

Good going guys. I am not interested putting together a particular tool list or kit to keep with my car. I just want a tool kit I can fix something on the road with if I break down. (Along with AAA) lol. However, I have quite a few old wrenches that I have had for years, I will take a picture of what I have and post it here, it anybody want any of what I have, most of it is available to them (not an arm or leg). I just want to know what unit they are going to be used for.OK?

The Radio has its own 12 Volt system, not hooked to the frame in anyway. The Radio is NOT touching any metal in the car at all. The antenna and radio are sharing the same ground and positive source from the 12V battery. This Motorcycle antenna requires battery power to recieve max output, and has that. Thanks guys. Tod suggested RFI from the plug wires, I am going to try that tomorrow. Will let you all know if that works.
Thanks
