Hi All !

I have replaced rear main seals before and you do need to pack then in tight ! This also means more drag on crankshaft , I prefer the neoprene seal as it has far less drag and less heat buildup ,if rope seal is to tight it can burn seal and leak to loose will also leak !
Choice is yours !
Cheers Tony.

Last month I retired the Plymouth from the road ! It's now unregisted and will gradually be restored ! I can take my time with it as I have the 34 to drive.
Cheers Tony.

Today pickup castings from a foundry 20min from where I live , I had 1934 bumper over-rider made out of bronze , I was lucky enough to borrow 1 original to copy it !
They now have to be sanded and filed and polished then chromed lot of work but it's worth the end result especially when you just can't find them.
Will post pics later.
Cheers Tony

It's like anything Glen ! Practice makes perfect ,and I am no means perfect .
Just read info on how to do things that interest me , it took 3 hrs to do 1 line around car because I kept mucking it up , persistence eventually pays of and I still need more persistence .
I have acquired another motor for 34 , it's not an original  but, I have an original in shed , I am going to make it more user friendly to our modern fuels  and keeping car to factory specs except motor and overdrive gear box which are still flat head Chrysler units and are interchanged by bolting so that car is always able to be put back to 100% standard , I am doing this because I want to use the car as much as possible and I like a challenge .
Cheers Tony

I use a guide a wheel and a not so steady hand , the 3 combinations gave the end result , and I do need more practice .
Cheers Tony.

Hi Guys !
           In the case of starting my 30U full choker pump pedal three or four times advance all in ,turn on ignition ,1/4 gas pedal as soon as it fires choke back to 5%  until warm !
Just won't use crank handle if battery is flat charge it ,if I can't charge it tow it , if I can't tow start it It stays home! LOL  (always starts )
Pretty much use same for 34 as well.
Cheers Tony.

Well boys !!
It's finally back in the car the tank is like new , I am using this opertunity to install a pusher pump to stop problem of no fuel in hot weather after stopping for a short break ! The last trip in hot weather was good until, a short stop was required .The original fuel pump when it gets heat soak after stopping for 5 to 30min. Will not pump fuel until it cools sufficiently so that gas is not vaporizing in glass bowl.
An electric pusher pump will fix this.
Cheers Tony

Hi Ian !
If you checked all those items then a proper compression test is vital , this could tell which cylinder is down , valves ,rings,head gasket.
Persistence will pay off !  I have been there !
Cheers Tony.

A good place to check for missfire will be old leads break down there insulation , even worse if spark leads are in a metal tube , with my 30u I used new copper leads that look like original inside steel tube holder and are working perfect , there are also many other things to check , I would start there .
