Hello everyone. I am a new member here. I recently bought a 1961 Savoy with column shift. When I put it in reverse  there is a relay under the dash that clicks on and off  causing the back up lights to do the same. Looking at the wiring diagram I can't see what's causing this. Any ideas?

The oil filler tube is a press fit into the block. It might take some pulling to get it out.

But . . .  If you are doing this with an assembled engine, I'd leave the filler tube in place until I'd worked over the cooling passages to keep from getting gunk into the oil pan. The usual way to clean the cooling passages is to remove all the core plugs along the side, run water into the block via the thermostat opening on the head, and while flushing use stiff wires, etc. to poke around inside the core plug openings into the cooling passages to free up the sludge. There will be a lot of it near the back of the block which can cause overheating problems.

The older engines used 1 5/8 inch expansion plugs for the side of the engine, Dorman 550-023. I believe they never changed that on the flathead 6 so that is likely what is on your '54. Assuming I am correct that '55 was the first year a V8 was available and you have a flathead 6.

So started working on 54

Found freeze plug behind oil fill tube missing

This car was parked in 66 originally from the dakotas I think

Anyway I'm guessing they parked it due to overheating as the block is packed with dirt

Probably pulled plug to clean block?

I've seen this before on vehicles from out west driving on dirt roads but don't have a good idea for cleaning block out

Any ideas?

2nd question how does oil fill tube come out of block


Trying to remove to get a straight shot to drive plug in

I'd like to use expandable plug but there's something just inside hole

Don't know how to post pics on this forum

If someone tells me how to do that I will

Thanks all

Thanks for the info for N/C industry
They were a big help with what the bracket looked like so I made one
It's working fine
I have one more problem to solve
I need a vin plate made but I'm not sure what it looks like
Can someone with a 34 Plymouth post a picture of an original vin plat and were it's located
Thanks Harry

Welcome!

N/C Industries started out making 1933-34 Plymouth and Dodge parts and has migrated into making windshield frames for lots of cars. They might be able to help you with the part and if not with the part but what it looks like.

Hi this is Harry from Ontario Canada
I have a 34 Plymouth PF that I am near completing restoration
I'm looking for a windshield bracket that connects the operating mechanism to the windshield frame or pictures of on so I can make one
Thanks Harry

I have the window option/price stickers from my late husband's 1970 Superbird and 1966 Dodge Charger. I would like to reuinite them with the cars' present owners.  Can someone give me advice how to do this?

TodFitch gave you the best advise.
I have used Then & Now Automotive for a
number of rebuild kits and they are top notch.

Their contact info:

My issue is that I cant get info on how to wire the car to make the blinkers brake lights to work properly.
Does anyone have a clearly defined wiring schematic?
Thank You very much!

Personally, rather than getting a new pump, I'd get a rebuilding kit from Then & Now Automotive (a.k.a. Antique Auto Parts Cellar). Their kits are good quality and you are likely to end up with a more reliable, longer lived pump that a cheap new foreign import. Fuel pumps for the 1930s Chrysler products are very easy to rebuild.
