Expert 5K+ Posts: 9900 Location: Lower Mainland BC | 71charger_fan - 2018-06-03 9:23 AM I have a pair of armrests, but am not where they're supposed to attach as Plazas (at least my Plaza) didn't come with armrests. Not sure if you've posted a photo of one of your doors with the inner door panel off, but I am guessing the location of the screw receivers is already marked or even punched out. If it isn't punched out you would have to open a rectangular slot (2 actually). Then the next trick is creating the armrest screw receiver clips which fit in those slots. If possible, the receiver clips could be cannibalized off any 55-56 Plymouth or Dodge (or probably Desoto or Chrysler). Somebody with a 2dr sedan (or wagon), e.g. Nathan (Powerflite) might be able to measure location(s) for the slots if your door is not already punched. Some photos (of my right rear door that needed some anti-rust conditioning) and the clips, etc.: Edited by 56D500boy 2018-06-03 10:30 AM (56DodgeDoorArmrestAttachmentDetail.jpg) (56DodgeDoorArmrestAttachmentDetail_2.jpg) (56DodgeDoorArmrestAttachmentDetail_3.jpg) Attachments ---------------- 56DodgeDoorArmrestAttachmentDetail.jpg (81KB - 467 downloads) 56DodgeDoorArmrestAttachmentDetail_2.jpg (175KB - 460 downloads) 56DodgeDoorArmrestAttachmentDetail_3.jpg (186KB - 457 downloads) | ||

Elite Veteran Posts: 667 Location: Frederick, MD | So, I've been going round and round trying to get the fuel gauge working. Had 12.36 volts at the gauge, but nothing at the sender. Continuity was fine on both leads going to the sender, so I added a ground to the sender and still nothing. I pulled the gauge and sender and tested them straight from the battery according to the FSM. The needle didn't move. So, I grabbed the original gauge, filed the points in the gauge, and hooked it up. It worked. So, I filed the points in the NOS gauge, hooked it up, and it worked. Who knew there were points in a fuel gauge?

Expert 5K+ Posts: 9900 Location: Lower Mainland BC | Wow. I am holding a 56 Dodge fuel gauge in my hand and I must be blind. I can't see any points. You know that isn't the right battery for your car right? (In terms of location of the 12V terminals that is). | ||

Elite Veteran Posts: 667 Location: Frederick, MD | I tried putting the battery in the other way but the negative cable was too short. It was cheaper to flip the battery around than buy a longer ground cable. | ||

Elite Veteran Posts: 667 Location: Frederick, MD | "I am holding a 56 Dodge fuel gauge in my hand and I must be blind. I can't see any points. " The points are only on the wagon gauge. They may exist because they didn't use fuses at the time. They may function as a circuit breaker. | ||

Expert 5K+ Posts: 9654 Location: So. Cal | Most likely those points are used as a crude voltage regulator. That is what allows the gauge to run on either supply voltage. Mopar vehicles in the '60's used this same technology to provide an average 5 volt supply to their gauges. Edited by Powerflite 2018-06-05 7:45 PM | ||

Elite Veteran Posts: 667 Location: Frederick, MD | I decided to take a swing at carpeting the load floor. I had to clean up the edges as there was a little rust and some pinholes. So, I sealed them up with a combination of POR15 and POR putty. Then, I went around the edges with masking tape and filled in with masking paper. Then, I put the pattern on some indoor/outdoor carpet I picked up at a local discount store. The color of the carpet was supposed to be charcoal, but it seems more blue. I may buy different carpet and switch it out. For the time being, it's much better than the bare blue-painted steel.

Elite Veteran Posts: 667 Location: Frederick, MD | Today, I decided to put some fresh oil in the engine for Carlisle weekend as sludge is still working its way loose from years of neglect. When I pulled out the oil filter, I stuck my finger down in the canister and felt probably a good inch of sludge in the bottom. So, I disconnected the inlet and outlet lines, removed the canister and cleaned it out. The worst of what was in the bottom was like Play Doh when it's just about hard. I scooped that out with a worn screwdriver and wiped it out thoroughly. I reassembled everything and decided to go for a short drive. Almost as soon as I left the driveway, the filter cover gasket let go and there's about 2 quarts of fresh 10w-30 making a stripe on the street. I took the canister off the engine again and also removed the drain line and cleared that with brake cleaner. I put it all back together with an NOS USA-made Hastings filter instead of the made-in-Turkey Fram and it all seems fine now. What a mess. | ||
Old Ray |

Extreme Veteran Posts: 507 Location: Invermere B.C. Canada - Rocky Mountains | Hum. 10w-30 is probably a good flushing oil but I wonder if a slightly heavier oil for summer heat and long trips would be better? | ||
71charger_fan |

Elite Veteran Posts: 667 Location: Frederick, MD | Made it up and back twice. Only used a quart of oil per day. I really have to do something about the leak where the oil filter drain goes back into the block. Two qts in just over 300 miles is excessive. Especially when it doesn't seem to be burning any. I'll probably replace the hard lines to the oil filter with braided lines to the filter can be emptied at oil changes without disconnecting anything. | ||

In the meantime, I'll slip in a glasspack of the right length. Back in the day (1967-72) when I was in high school and university with my 55 Canadian Dodge with the "big" 25 inch long head Canadian 251 cu in flat-head six, I ran a Thrush (straight through, perforated center core) muffler. I sounded great (mostly) - might have been a little bit of "drone" on the highway, but I liked it. Loved the throaty sound of the straight six. What makes me kick my butt now is I never converted the exhaust manifold to duals. Not necessarily Fenton but just a cut and weld job would have been in my budget. Fenton: | ||

Elite Veteran Posts: 667 Location: Frederick, MD | The odometer in my car didn't work. I had purchased a spare dash panel but didn't know the condition of that speedometer. I took it to Carlisle and handed it over to D&M Restoration on Saturday and asked for repair only just to ensure the speedometer and odometer were working. I also asked them to set the odometer to match the reading of the one in the car. I cost me $200 to have them rebuild the speedometer, repaint the needle, reset the odometer, and give it a general clean up. I had it back by the very next Friday.

Elite Veteran Posts: 667 Location: Frederick, MD | Today, I decided to deal with switching the hard lines to and from the oil filter to flexible braided lines. This way, I can undo the filter when I do an oil change and pour it out. That way, all that dirty oil won't stay behind in the system as it does now. Unfortunately, as soon as I got everything apart, a thunderstorm blew in. So, maybe tomorrow. (phpt4bgfzPM.jpg) Attachments ---------------- phpt4bgfzPM.jpg (154KB - 398 downloads) | ||

Elite Veteran Posts: 667 Location: Frederick, MD | I installed the braided oil lines to and from the filter. Where the fittings go into the block made for an extremely tight fit for the starter, but I got it in. I reused the 45-degree drain fitting, but I think I'll need to take that apart as that one is leaking. It was leaking before, but I hoped thread sealant would allow me to reuse it without issue. I'll have to dig around in Ebay and try to find new 45-degree fittings. I do have one more new 90-degree fitting and if I have too much trouble finding a 45, I'll use that.

Elite Veteran Posts: 667 Location: Frederick, MD | Yesterday, I finally got that elusive combination of a warm, dry day where I wasn't babysitting. So, out to the driveway to try and get the wagon started. I pulled the fuel line off of the carb and put it in a plastic bottle then hit the starter. No gas in the bottle. So, on the off chance my swap meet fuel filter was defective, I swapped in a clear plastic one and hit the starter again. When I saw the plastic one start to fill with fuel, I put the hose back on the carb and it started right up. Just when I thought I'd fixed it, it died. No fuel coming from the accelerator pump, so I checked again and realized it wasn't pumping fuel. So, then I thought the "new" fuel pump I'd installed must have already gone bad, so I swapped it with another NOS one I had on hand. Still no fuel flow. Then, I did what, in hindsight, I should have done in the first place and pushed some compressed air through the line until I heard the fuel tank bubble. Hooked everything back up and it started right up and ran. Now, I'm thinking I need to drop the fuel tank and send it off to get it cleaned out and coated.

Elite Veteran Posts: 667 Location: Frederick, MD | I took it out on Sunday and just drove it around and around the area near my house. I put about 10 to 12 miles on it. It drives nicely and I can definitely feel (and hear) a difference with the 2-bbl at WOT. Otherwise, other than having a working choke, it feels about the same as it did with the 1-bbl once warmed up. I'm pretty happy no longer having an oil-bath air cleaner. | ||
