General Discussion / Re: Radiator cap for Moto Meter
February 10, 2023, 01:18:45 PM



If you use a cap with a Motor Meter, like the one above.  You will have to remove the cap prior to opening either of the hood doors.  It's a real pain because you will most likely forget and damage the door paint.

As far as I know no one is making these anymore but all you need to do is drill the right hole for the motor meter you are going to install.  Repro winged caps are in the $300+ dollar range.  If you can find someone.  I have seen them at Hershey.

Quote from: Russ T. Fender on February 01, 2023, 06:45:02 PMWould it be possible to asses users a bit to keep this going?  I have no idea what the costs are being computer challenged at best but it would be a shame to see it stop.  Perhaps if we all used it more frequently it would encourage sponsors to support it.  I too suffer from the retirement syndrome in that the only thing that doesn't go up is my pension but I would be amenable to a reasonable contribution if that is what it would take to keep it going.

Thanks Russ, your offer is very generous.  Traffic has quieted down and I think the search engines especially Microsoft Edge, are not listing us because the site doesn't have a security certificate.  Their browser shows it as "Not Secure"  Not hard to fix, all it takes is an additional cost for a security scan & certificate.  Then it can be browsed as https:  ( I think? Depends what the scan unfolds. It shouldn't be a problem we are running the newest and most current version of software.)

Anyway, we are good until 2024.  I'll check into what needs to be done to bring us up to speed.  I would rather self-fund the site than bring in ads.  A user go fund me drive might be very helpful in offsetting the expanding operational costs.  Something that I have avoided over the years. 

BTW.., In 2007 I think the hosting costs were less than $100 bucks per year plus the DNS registration service which was around $14 per year.  Times have changed. 

I'll keep you guys informed.  No worries!!

General Discussion / 16 year Forum Anniversary

I created this forum 16 years ago in March of 2007.  Back in those days the costs were minimal and I was also gainfully employed.   For the last 8 of those 16 years I have been retired and costs have certainly increased while like most retirees my income has greatly declined.  I am not sure if I will renew this site after February 2024.  The increasing cost and needed security upgrades are getting a little pricy.  I don't believe there is enough traffic to offset current costs by adding ads, but I'll check into it.
 
Just a very early FYI... on what might be a future problem.

Hay Dave,

This is so sad to hear.  I never had the pleasure of meeting Frank personally; but over the years had many interactions and great conversations.  He will be greatly missed.

Than a Chevy. You may be able to find a brass bowel on eBay. Just keep checking.

You should be able to straighten the brass bowl.  These cabs are hard to find in working order.  The pot metal parts swell and make them hard to disassemble without damaging the carburetor. 

The carburetor was also used on chevy of the era.  Might find some parts searching under chevy.  The chevy used different jets but the rest is the same.  I had a chevy club guy in Virginia rebuild mine.  He did a good job making one from two sets of parts which I sent him. He used the correct jets for Plymouth.  It has been some time since and I don't know if he still does these carbs.

I would suspect that the copper background is because the plating has been polished off.
