Old Geezer Gearhead here. I do believe that year was the first year for the single stop light in the trunk lid. When I was still in high school, 1960, I had a 1949 Plymouth Special DeLuxe. That was the last year for the single stop light in the trunk lid. BTW, my father, who was a professional auto mechanic from the 'T' days, had a '41' Ply. 4 door. The last rip that I can remember in that '41' as a kid was from Paterson, NJ, to Atlantic city for summer vacation. thank you for these videos.
That is awesome! Thank you for sharing this with us and thank you for watching 🙏🏼
She's had a long slumber but you blokes are well on the way to bringing her back to life. I am really enjoying watching the progress you are making, and yep I subscribed.
Thanks so much! We agree, she slept long enough :). Thanks for following
Hi, from Sydney, Australia. I love your 41 Plymouth, I love the patina! I wish they were assembled here. I have a 39 Plymouth sedan, RHD model assembled in Sth.Australia. One thing you might, or should put on the list is, is to replace the water distribution tube, behind the water pump, which helps cool the valves. They all rust out! Give it a good flush out while its out, and it might pay to take out the five welsh plugs on the side and give it a good flush too. I had so much rusty crud in my block. I only hope for your sake the rear engine welsh plug is okay. Mine was weeping, and to get to it you'll have to take the engine out. But you will figure it out along the way. Thanks for making these videos! All the best!
yeahproductions thank you so much for following along, your Plymouth sounds awesome too!
@@MaffettMotorwerks actually I have some videos of my Plymouth on youtube if you want to check the car out
The water distribution part is bang on right. Check out Keiths Garage on YT he does these old MOPAR engines
6 volt vehicles were most often positive ground to help prevent corrosion from forming on the wire connectors. Have you ever noticed that corrosion usually forms most on the positive terminal? Those "Old Guys" actually did know something.
Hey, Daniel - this is so cool. I love that you guys are restoring this and I can't wait to see the finished product!
Thanks so much!! If you are subbed you will get notifications of all the updates as we progress. Thank you for following along.
@@MaffettMotorwerks Yes, I subscribed and by the way - this is your Aunt Margaret. LOL...I love seeing all of the exciting things you are involved in. Love you!
luv4grands haha that is great! Well thank you for the continued support as always! Love ya!
I live for this stuff...
Fire up that box fan at 6:23...
So do we! Keep an eye out for our next episodes coming soon.
shout-out from New Zealand,good work,learn as u turn.can i suggest you go back to your valves and guides,every flathead ive had responded to a valve job,when they are ground in and lapped,adjusted and cleaned correctly,your motor will start and run so much better.probably find all the valve seats are pitted.dont forget the water-pump-mostly over-looked but very essential.im very envious-we dont have anything like this left here in NZ
Wow all the way from New Zealand! Thanks so much for checking out our vids! We will go back and correct a lot of stuff once we get her cleaned up a bit that’s for sure. For now it’s just getting her turning and see what we have to work with. Thanks so much for following along. Be sure to subscribe for updates.
I think you guys have a great project, can't wait for the next video
Leonard Walters thanks so much! We will be trying to post an update every week.
@@MaffettMotorwerks I'm glad old iron, and showing the younger generation, how gorgeous the art deco period was
Hey Guys. Well, there was lots of smoke and I was surprised that you didn't have a fire. That started must be in real good shape in order not to start burning. Thanks for sharing.
Andy's Dog House we had a good bit of penetrating fluids it had to burn through and some seafoam. So she smoked a good bit lol
@@MaffettMotorwerks Yea. Just a bit. Ha-ha
Yeah it had soaked for days with marvel fluid and seafoam. Everything from the cylinders, to the manifold was soaked in the stuff. Stuff is still burning off on every start up.
wow cool amazing video
🙏🙏🙏🛎🛎🛎👍👍👍👍
Thank you!
A wet and dry compression test will help guide you to next steps. All that cranking with 12V on the 6V starter, it's going to take a toll.
Keith Barron the starter is ok it’s last leg and doesn’t work half the time. But, we actually have sent it out to get rebuilt now that the motor is running well and cranking properly.
Guys I follow Keith and he knows these pld MOPARS
Plenty of parts available for the 41 Plymouth.
Good old American Quality.
The 41 with a few body mods is the nicest hotrod I've ever seen. Plan on building one with a all aluminum ford 3.0 DOHC I want something different and the engine is out of my grandfather's last car 99 taurus ugly car but beautiful powerful engine. Just hopping a FWD engine will mate with RWD transmission?
that sounds like an awesome build
set the timing!
Hey Guys, might want to Google P15 forum for helpful how to tips, specs, @ general info for 30s 40s @50s Plymouth @Dodge .
Thanks for that. We have been all over the forums and sites recently. Lots of details
Question. I thought these old Plymouths and Dodges had shifter on the left. Of volume. The 2 if seen did.
Put a glass pack on it
Try a gravity fed gas tank hanging on a tripod or something.
we recently invested in a gravity tank set up Thanks for the recommendation.
Wasnt those Flat Sixes basically the same from the 30s to the 50s. ?
Dont they make a product. Called Zud that you can scrub off that rust. ?
Sounds like a plan.
Thanks for watching!
Re-install the original Sediment bulb as it not only filters, but separates water as well. Locate a reputable starter/generator repair shop. Have both the original starter and generator rebuilt. Do not under any circumstances change to 12 volt. Doing so will mess up your gages and anything else electrical. With proper connections and good grounds these 6 volt cars will easily start in below zero weather. I have a couple that cheerfully start at -20. Leave the distributor alone. Just replace the contact set (points) and condenser. Set point gap at .020. Replace the vacuum advance if necessary. You have a beautiful, nearly complete, original Plymouth. Anyone can screw it up. Don't be that anyone. The Voltage regulator polarizes Battery to Field. There are tons of parts out there and knowledgeable people to help in the Mopar pages on FB.
^^^^^Agree Fully, Listen to this guy.^^^^^ I actually Stopped watching your vid when you said you were going to install electronic ignition.
The oil filter/ sediment bowl is definitely on the list to get put back on. Someone many years ago crimped off the lines and deleted it. Unsure why? We have pulled the can for now but fully intend to replace it. Our intention is to keep it 6 volt. We had thoughts in the beginning of a 12 volt conversion but a single quote on a web forum changed our mind. "6V won WWII it's good enough for me". Insider info, as of today the starter has been rebuilt by a local shop and the generator will be getting done soon.
Jay Leno says well maintained 6 volts are adequate for these old cars. He said smart guys designed them. He is right for unmodified cars. I had a buddy in Calgary with a 49 Plymouth stock, it would start when way below zero.
Maybe because they were 39s. But look bout same
No more cutting wires. No more either. Use a remote starter button. Please
Hi guys,Iam a 56 man with Jeep CJ7 with dificulties in my bbd. Really, how easy is that to mount?Iam retired bodyworker and don't know much about electromechanics. Here in PUERTO RICO islandI do not condone anyone who rides the sniper bbd I wantto ride it. I wil lneed technical support, where can I find it? Thanks you.
The sniper efi swap is really straight forward. The hardest part was just plumbing the fuel pump and figuring out what part of the harness you want to run. This is the link you can go to to see the part we used. If this doesn’t work click on it in the description of out Holley video. Holley has a great technical support line that will walk you through anything at all. www.holley.com/products/fuel_systems/fuel_injection/sniper_efi/sniper_efi_bbd_for_jeep_cj/parts/550-859K
@@MaffettMotorwerks Thanks You .I Will do it.
Called an oil bath air cleaner.
That it is!
Elbow grease. Haha
Oil bath filters are better than paper filters imagine back in the early 40's most of America's roads were dirt roads only few were paved and oil bath filters kept all that dirt out of the engine and they went to paper elements when most of the roads were paved but you run a car down a loose dirt road with a paper element and see how long it lasts. you would be be changing them everyday because they would be clogged right up.
You guys are pretty junkie but i like it..be careful.
That’s the nicest thing any one has said to us.... haha thank you for watching, we are having a blast and we are mostly careful.
