Title: 30U Afternoon ride
Post by: Doug on September 16, 2007, 12:48:36 PM
 We took the 30U out yesterday, Went doen the road to an antique tractor show, The Plymouth got alot of attention there. We left there and went over to a steet festeville and walked around their car and tractor show had supper at a local resteruant, headed home. The Plymouth did great, I'm useing a 50/50 mix of NAPA antifreez, Shell Rotilla 15/40 motor oil. I have a Boice Moto meter to watch my tempature. My vacume fuel pump is still working off the intake. Fun ride. Lots of looks and questions about the car. I don't know of any other early Plymouth in my area. I was out at the Auto Fair Fridayfound a few odd parts. One fellos was very concerned about the wooden wheels, but so far no problem. Ride ON

Hi Doug, the car looks great. I did the same thing Sat. morn went to a cancer benefit show, and I was the only old car before 1940 the rest were rods and customs. I have a 28 Plymouth coupe. All restored. The vacuum tank gave up last fall and I rebuilt it and it is running great. You should hook that vacuum up to the oil pump if you are going to be pulling any long steep hills. I had mine hooked to the intake for years till I took it to Maine on a tour and it ran out of gas. Well keep having fun with it. Bill in Ohio

Doug, where are you at in the country? I travel all over and love to visit and talk 30-U. Maybe we can get together sometime. Here is a bear in the woods I found yesterday.
