1940 Plymouth speedometer

[RC Drown]

157 miles added to the odometer yesterday, was so pleased

[Go Fleiter]

:))
I?m still trainee...
Now weather is fine here, so I do some miles on the Ply!
Sunday I had it taken off the garage: parked since Oct, engine started immediately (I use electric gas pump for 30 seconds first).
We plan a Plymouth holiday trip in 2 weeks to Hamburg (3 days) island of Sylt (1 week) and to my siter in Helsingborg / Viken in Sweden.
I?m sure he will do. Nicest is George Ashe?s overdrive, well needed here on our Autobahns.
Anyhow, we will prefer secondary streets.
Greetings and all the best!
Go

[RC Drown]

Thanks, Go, I there are some vendors that I had forgotten about,
How is your retirement proceeding?

Take care,
Bob

Hallo Bob,
  this is my suppliers list,  emerged over the years. I suppose that You know all of them.
Maybe You better put whom You asked for Your needed parts until now without result.
Good Luck!
Greetings from D?sseldorf! Go

I don?t know, if one of these has Your needed parts, but
this is my adresslist for Ply Dealers, recovered from this forum over 20 Years.
Probably, some of them may be closed now:

Try Andy Bernbaum?s, they have a lot of Mopar stuff! Very fast service and very friendly and reliable people! I never had problems with them in all these years, but others had when sending back unuseful parts.

The biggest seems to be Kanter, because it was very difficult to get a competent Clerk. Parts for my 1951 were good, minus one pair of too big exentric front end bushings, which would have been taken back by them. They had no advice on correct bushings and I preferred to have them milled down to fit here in Germany

Quote: Bill Ward:  ?For whatever it is worth, my opinion is that one of the two best parts suppliers out there is:
NEIL RIDDLE -  (206) 285-6534 -
Neil is a pleasure to work with and often has stuff that nobody else has.  He works hard to keep his stock fresh and he always has something new.  Neil doesn't have a website but I've never had any problem reaching him by email or by phone. Egge Parts House 800-866-egge  http://www.egge.com/

Tod  too stated: As for suspension parts, Rare Parts in Stockton, California is a good bet. If they don't have the spring hanger pins they can make new ones based on your old part. Once they do that they add it to the list of parts they will sell to anyone. Net result is the next guy (or girl) that comes a long and needs the part will be able to get it. Believe it or not, they manufacture and sell the steering drag link for my 1933

Offenhauser dual Intake / exhaust 2008:
Merry_Prankster found: My roomate is building a 53 dodge truck and has been asking me to find these for some time. After some research and a good tip from the swap meet and the portland expo center this last weekend, I found a source for both here locally. I figured I'd share the info here incase someone was in need.

I had the sending unit rebuilt by this company and they were very good with the 32 plymouth fuel gauge and sending unit. I don't recall for sure if the ohms I gave you are correct. I sugest you call them for the exact specs.                     Frank
