Expert Posts: 3480 Location: Montreal, Canada | sidesho_bob1961 - 2016-10-04 3:16 PM I put mine on with double sided sticky tape for automotive trim. NO HOLES!!! I might do just that.. But then I have to cut the pins on the back of the logos. That's much preferable than holes in the body panels, though.. | ||

Expert Posts: 3480 Location: Montreal, Canada | We have had record snowfalls this year, so it's going to take a little while before it's gone. But, it was nice outside today and I couldn't resist at least taking her out of the garage for a little while.

Extreme Veteran Posts: 494 Location: Alberta | You just have to let us know how that 383 performs, did you do any upgrades to the front end suspension?. [I may have missed that part] What can I say about your car that hasn't been already posted. The youtube video is a very nice touch and brings everything together for us guys here on the forum following the restoration Thanks for the extra effort Enjoy the cruises and I'm sure you will | ||

[I may have missed that part] What can I say about your car that hasn't been already posted. The youtube video is a very nice touch and brings everything together for us guys here on the forum following the restoration Thanks for the extra effort Enjoy the cruises and I'm sure you will Sorry, I just saw that last post today! 383 runs very nice now, but it needed help a little. Had to change the small pushrod behind the fuel pump and rebuilt the two carburators. Changed valve cover gaskets as it was puking oil... There is still a small oil leak at the front, which I will take care of next week. That poor car had been neglected for the last 6 years, so it needed a lot of small things to get it ok. It is my first car with a MoPar big block, and I am more used to the 301-303-313-318 poly engines. The heat these big engines create sure needs some getting used to. The engine does not overheat, but the engine bay gets hotter than with a small block for sure. I am thinking of installing a gasket that would block the heat crossover channels. What do you guys think? In any case, the power is there, and the car cruises beautifully. I had the front end rebuilt: tie-rod ends, strut bushings, ball joints, shocks, and I lowered the car to pretty much normal height, maybe even a tiny bit lower. I also changed the rear shocks and the leaf spring assemblies (had the incredible luck of having two very nice sets of original, rebuilt and ready to install leaf springs donated to me by a friend - it was overstock from his restoration of another 58 Plymouth). I only have the alignment left to do.

Expert Posts: 2003 Location: Branson, MO | We blocked off the heat crossover passage on our big blocks when we were drag racing back in the '60s. Car was slower to warm up and open the choke so we just wired the choke wide open and removed the pull off. OK for summer and racing but that was it. | ||

I was hoping it would help with starting the car when it is really hot... I have to crank it a lot to start it up when the motor is very hot and it gets really annoying. | ||

Expert Posts: 2003 Location: Branson, MO | David, I don't think blocking off the passage will do any good for the hot start issue. I believe you are experiencing severe vapor lock and I think an auxiliary electric fuel pump mounted at the tank would work best. It is unseen and can be controlled from a switch under the dash. It will push cooler fuel through the stock pump into the carb(s). We always used electric fuel pumps in this manner when racing as they were legal in stock classes as long as the stock pump was in place. We used a "cool can" in the fuel line too which was legal but I doubt you want one of those under your hood (ugly). | ||

Elite Veteran Posts: 854 | David ,What Type of fuel are you running in your Plymouth ? I know that in my 60 Valiant Wagon I was running gas with Ethanol ,I drove the car a while then shut if down and tried to restart .It was tough to restart the problem turned out to be the gas .I have since changed to Ethanol free gas I don't have that problem anymore. | ||
