I’m going to do this to my Mercedes. Thanks, and I love the lessons at the end.
My favorite channel, except for the Italian mama mia making homemade foods!
Good reproof Mr. K !! Thanks again for all your autopsies especially the 37 or was it a 38 Chrysler. I have a 1937 and a 1948 both Dodge Coupe models. The Dodge Brothers were in charge of their creation from 1914-1938
My 1948 Dodge has the Fluid Drive which works quite well and as intended! As a longtime viewer of this work of love and labor to include the cold, verry cold b thankful we have a down to earth tutorials
I love how the man just casually hands him a highly toxic controlled substance wrapped around a thing designed to literally be on fire. man, they just did not give a darn back in the day.
Pretty Windsor.. Do you have collector car insurance? I use American Classics for Mama's 1991 Park Avenue - $200 for FULL coverage and NO deductible with DECLARED VALUE. Christine Dapper is my epic agent. I'm negotiating on a 1949 Packard Super 8 and the premium on that car would be $180.
I've got a gray 38 4 door about 20 feet from me that my boss owns and wants to sell. It's like a limo inside. You stretch your feet out and can't touch the front seat.
Love the clock and guages
Good Video Keith! Thanks for sharing. I had a buddy over yesterday with a Canadian 1940 Plymouth 4dr. Sedan. Brakes look the same. ?? You didn't talk about the adjusting cam nuts. does the '38 not have those adjusters? They are on the reverse side of my buddies '40.
Hi, Keith ,I have a 1937 chrysler royal and the starter linkage does not activate the step switch to engage starter pinion. Thanks,larry
1:40 we all saw you shape shift. You cant hide from us
Will 2 gauge cables work on 12 volt ?
Thanks for the great idea. Wired this into a 1950 Buick along with a couple of freestanding speakers in the back window that I already had lying around from another project and it works like a charm. The speakers I used in the back window take a bit away from the vintage look, but it's a decent trade-off as the car's naturally beautiful dash looks unspoiled and the sound is surprisingly good.
👍🏻🇦🇺✌️
I have a 40 Plymouth truck. When I pull the vacuum switch it goes one way, and when I push it back in, it goes back the other way. Is that possibly correct for it, or is it not working correctly?
Hi Keith Would you know what company made the axel for chrysler in the 50's? Was it Detroit axel or a Rockwell?
Love your videos-Keith! Waiting for the 38 Plymouth road trip.
My 51 F1 will start cold.. but after 15 mins of running..the starter will drag verly will turn over.. after 30 minutes of sitting will crank right up.. truck has a fh v8
Pos Ground or using the car it self as pos side of the battery as the feed side have it's advantages , One thing is that you dont need relays at all . Putting lets say the headlight switch on the Neg side elemates the need of a relay . This means less connectors and wires . There is no advantages of neg ground or 12 volts ether . There is really no need of etronic IGN or a powered on coils ether . We could use Mags instead . This leaving the only reasons for a bat is to start the car if it needs an electric starter . All other electeric to power everything can be powered by a gen or alt and a capacitor with a regulator . all this crap they have put on these cars is really BS . You still have AC , Radio , computer , lights as a modern car . Yes a 12 volt system is a bandaid on older 6 volt cars . So lets get to electric and modern cars !!! I mean up to date cars now . What we have now and what we learned over the years . We dont even needs a battery at all . The super capacitors could replace the bat . They are cheaper to make with little wast and polutants .
Great show watch all the time
Klax-on right
Hi Keith love your channel. I have a 54 Plymouth P24 that has fuel, compression and verified top dead center on number one cyl I have spark .It just will not fire over. It wants to so bad Have any suggestions..I can send video of it turning.
@@NathanMaule-bm9lc what compression readings did you get. By chance is it turning over to slow? Due to it having 12V sized battery cables on it?
Around 115 to 120 psi…If you hold the starter down it seems to spin fast enough that it wants to start..I can send a video of what is doing..Thanks Nate
Side valve sounds better than flat head
Can I change my flathead 6 on my 49 deluxe with a three on the tree to an automatic using a powerflite from 1950?
Just got my hands on a 48 plymouth, so many questions, oil change,spark.plug change, OIL ON THE TOP PART OF THE CARBURETOR??
Yes Age 62. I paid $1500.00 U.S. in 1989 for a complete 37Dodge Coupe 218.7 D5 and found the Dykes Blue encyclopedia for my 37. 48. And my 1921 Dodge 12 volt Touring Car !
Hey Keith Richard D from California 91107, just checking in on you! Hope all is well and know many of us really go to your tutorials
Tat's a beauty. I see Mts Peter and Paul in the video. I love Kamloops and lived there for 25 years.
why are you shifting. just put the car in drive. stop of go forget the clutch pedal. the torque converter was all you needed.
@@russwabuda1556 you don’t appear to understand how this system works.
…1948 dodge delux has that transmission,, U tibe, “Johnny Carson goes home” ( 1982), he drives hid dads 1938 Chrysler Royal, and ITS fluid drive..
Appreciate the video. I won’t tell you the dumb mistakes I have made but watching this video will help me add an electric fuel pump to my old 67. It takes about 30 seconds to start if it sits more than a day.
Great to see you back Keith. How about a clutch adjustment tutorial? Good day.
I'm learning a lot from you I have my first flathead thank you keith
Great video! Just inherited a 1938 Business Coupe that has been in the family for 41 years.
@@kylekosalka713 great news. Welcome to the club. There are tons more videos I made for you and others to watch. Be sure to work through them and you’ll be looking after your ‘38 with confidence!
I have Overdrive in my 1950 Plymouth. What a difference on the Highway !
Hi, I am in the midst of trying to restore a similar Philips console. I noticed you had changed the same caps I have in my chassis. Where did you get your new caps from?
@@bengallo6504 It’s been a fews but I think it was Mouser USA.
@@keithsgarage5831I've heard of them. By any chance would you still have your order list?
@@keithsgarage5831thanks for replying, I'll try them. Do you still have a list of the caps you ordered?
@bengallo6504 sorry, I don’t.
I just got my first flathead 1951 dodge b3 and learning a lot for you thank you so much
Went to 8v. Electronic replacement for the point needs minimum of 5.1 volts to function. In the winter time voltage would pull down to 4.8. Vehicle would keep cranking but it wasn't making a spark. A full battery and adjusting the regulator and 10 years later my wife works out of her 55 Chevy on a pretty much daily basis still.
that debris in the block is casting sand. take all the plugs out and hot pressure wash.
Please Keith-waiting for the roadtrip in the 38. Talked to you over on the P15-D24 forum a while back. Take lots of GoPro footage thru the windshield. Thanks for all of the videos so far!
I had a 1953 Chrysler Windsor 8 Passenger Sedambulance. It was originally owned by Fairbanks Morse in Beloit, Wisconsin. The car was also pictured in the book 70 Years of Chrysler. It was an awesome car, but I knew I had one chance to start the car, otherwise I had to jump it. One thing that helped was adding an inline electric fuel pump. I put the fuel pump on to stop vaper locking, but it also didn't waste battery power pumping fuel from the tank.
Triple.a.teacher.thank.youtube
This is so funny! I just went through the exact same thing installing a new oil pump on my '49 Plymouth. I followed the manual with lining up the slot in the gear and rotating the gear one tooth counterclockwise. I spent hours removing the pump and readjusting it with out any luck. THEN I noticed that second adjustment slot on the distributor, DOH! Wish I had seen this video earlier! Still nice to see someone else did the same thing I did. Thanks for posting!
Great video.Question regarding compression tester,,What size thread is needed to screw into cylinder head ? Metric or imperial ?
thanks for the video, it was a great help for me. I do have what may seem like a dumb question. Can the electric fuel pump be turned off after the engine starts and just use the mechanical fuel pump? I guess what I'm asking is, can the electric fuel pump be used as a back up only?
@@russellcarl3643 yea. That is exactly what I do.
I love your car! I have a 1949 Plymouth. Like you I'm learning as I go, and I had a question. How did you get you rear engine mounts out?
You are a Godsend! I couldn't figure why they gave so little adjustment until now. I can finally time my car (53 Plymouth). I solved the slow start with another of you videos; the battery cables were too thin. I went to Harbor Freight and bought 2/0 inverter cables for $35.00 and now it turns over quickly.
@@chrisbartol5973 that’s awesome. Great progress!
@@keithsgarage5831 At top Dead centre my rotor is roughly in the 9 oclock position.I have checked TDC 4 ways(dowel over 6th cylinder,loose play on value tappets on No1,timing mark is lined up to marked flywheel (dead centre mark) and number 1 is on compression stroke. I'm guessing oil pump is off a cog ? Question. Does it really matter ? Firing will still occur in same order and rotation.As long as distributor cap and more importantly rotor ,lines up to the number 1 high tension lead (and distributor has room for timing adjustment via base clamp) What are your thoughts.Thank you for the amazing videos.Im working on a 42 Dodge D60s tipper with a 25" 237 Wouldn't be this far ahead if it wasn't for your videos.thanks
@@bazmarty6084 It doesn’t really matter. As long as you can acess the major and minor timing adjustments. Use a timing light and set it as needed. It won’t know the difference and it’ll run fine.
The vacuum advance that goes to my carb (Maybe its the choke) is twisted nearly shut. I don't know why. It's a 1956 Plymouth Savoy Flathead Six, with 12v. And a three speed manual on the column.
I have the parts (brake lines and fittings) to make it ("not" a thing)
My father had the precise car and that carpet ought to be a dark green. A super car...many happy long drives with the family.
Thanks for your videos.Nice to see someone trying to figure things out in the real world and making mistakes,so hopefully I don't have to.
