Getting ready to install my new starter switch on my Mopar flathead. Anyone know if the contacts should be lubricated or left dry? When I took the...
No resistor. My ammeter has 3 terminals. Only one of the terminals is fused (lower terminal in photos) originally with a 20A fuse. Only the lights...
Thanks for your quick response and time you spent writing it. Attempting to convert or retrofit a spare amp gauge is likely beyond my capabilities...
Hi Steve, If a fuse (say 30 or 40 amp) were added between my 60 amp alternator and the 30 amp ammeter, wouldn't that offer at least some...
All the above advice, recommendations and opinions are greatly appreciated. I'm coming to understand why volt meters are a safer choice when...
Thanks for your advice! Very helpful. I did think about locating a earlier Mopar lower amperage alternator. The earlier ones (up to 1969) used a...
I'm hoping to keep the original ammeter, and the 70s Mopar charging system. I've been driving my truck for many years trouble free with the 60 amp...
In my sketched diagram below the amp gauge on the left shows how I wired it years ago. (I believe incorrectly). Everything worked fine, but I've...
Thanks everyone for the reply's! On the 39-47 Mopar trucks the oem sized 6.50-16 tires on the 4"rims look really wimpy on the rear in those huge...
I'm considering purchasing Excelsiors or Coker Classic radial tires for the front axle of my 39 Plymouth pickup resto-rod. I would be mounting...
Anybody know where to get a couple new or used hub cap clips like the ones in photos? These artillery style wheels are original to a 36 Plymouth...
Just painstakingly rebuilt my distributor in my 1939 Plymouth pickup. While doing this I found corrosion around some of the plug wires where they...
I don't think the Mopar flathead 6s are very popular with most hot rodders, but like your grandfather, I've come to appreciate them. My early...
Just finished installing a pcv valve (AC CV-698C) from a 230 cu. in. Mopar flathead military surplus engine (built in 1967) into my 1939 Plymouth...
While doing a disc brake conversion I decided to address a few other steering and suspension things on my 39 Plymouth pickup. Made a new tie rod...
Yes, for vibration and flexing. The original line from the master cylinder had a loop to the tee on the frame. I figure the Mopar engineers knew...
Yes Clem, I have read all the posts and am not ignoring anyone. I don't do this stuff all the time and I have much respect for the knowledge and...
The 1/8 npt brass tee fitting in the photo looks like it should work? I've have seen similar fittings on brake systems. The stainless hex nipple...
Here's some pictures of how I would like to plumb. Not much room on this old Mopar and being a retro rod, I try to minimize altering things too...
My truck has a hydraulic switch which has worked fine for several years. Not sure if it was an NOS unit? Now that I've installed a two circuit...
Can a hydraulic brake light switch be mounted anywhere in the brake system? Before or after an adjustable proportioning valve? Before or after...
Anyone around here know where I might be able to find the master cylinder stroke distance for a 1990-95 Jeep Wrangler and also the center to...
Thanks again Bob! You are the man! I'm guessing it was not important for the oem single pot masters to have full travel because they're not...
Yes, not boosted, but I do have a 7.5 pedal ratio. I calculated with the one inch bore should be ample pressure at the disc pads. What I'm not...
With total travel of my brake pedal (all the way up against stop to all the way to the floor board) I have 1-1/4" push rod travel. My oem 1.250...
Too many Ford's and Chevrolet's on here! ;) 39 Plymouth PT81 in for Brake upgrades. Mopars forever! [ATTACH] [ATTACH]

Thanks! for all your help. I just found the exact same master cylinder that I have with a level reservoir. Of course! After I already bought this...
