Man! I just got my hopes up. Boooo.

PM sent. Thanks a bunch. Very appreciated.

know where I can get a tube pickup? oil pan isn’t much use if I can’t get the proper pickup tube.

yeah, it's in pieces. Probably contributes to the rubbing against the steering linkage.

Do you know where it's located? Can't find it in the service manual. I know there's that bracket for the transmission to the block, but what about the rubber one?

Man. Another thing - could the transmission mount be sagging and dragging the engine down?

Previous doofus owner put in a later slant with the wrong oil pan which is now cracked. Need a new one. Mounting in a 1966 Plymouth Valiant 200. In SoCal.

Do you know anyone that has early A body pans for sale? If not I'll make a thread in wanted or look in for sale.

Guy never responded. Another issue - the oil pan is rubbing on the center link. The back section of the oil pan looks the same between it and the earlier A body oil pans. Am I able to modify and dent it in? The pan's getting welded atm. The motor mounts look fine, not compacted - then again I...

Oh ****. I got no idea. Didn’t even think of that. Maybe? I’d need a reference. I’m guessing the insulator is a rubber piece? edit: here’s a pic. It’s dark out, so a better one will have to wait til tomorrow.

Does this look right to you?

Boo… Hoo… Sucks there’s no aftermarket oil pans for the 225 on the early A bodies. Does anyone have dimensions of the pan? Might make my own. Hah. Ahahah.

Yeah it’s a later engine. Blue block and 5 freeze plugs. I know the pan I need, just don’t have it. It’s the pan without a number stamped on it. Bulge in the middle. Don’t know where to find it either. There’s a guy near me selling the oil pan I need, I can only hope he actually has it.

My current oil pan is from a later A body that someone didn’t dent in, and now it’s cracked. Short of getting a proper used one, or denting this current one in and getting it welded, does anyone sell aftermarket oil pans for the slant six that will fit early A bodies without modification? Thx

Hey guys, it got worse. Turns out the oil leak was from a cracked oil pan. One of the many previous owners put in a slant from a later car that rubbed against the K member and made it crack in the front and another in the back. Gonna need a new oil pan or dent in this one and get it welded...

I don't have to two foot it anymore. Took it for a test drive and it sputters/wants to die if I give it more than 50% throttle. If I mash the pedal, the engine cuts out completely. I'm thinking either a clogged jet or a leaking gasket. I'm gonna spray around the carb with some carb cleaner, and...

That’s my problem, I’m not a good doc lol. I haven’t pulled the gas tank. I daily drive it. Some good news! FFFUBAR carb FTW! I swapped the carbs and now have it idling at 750. It looks ugly but it’s doing a better job than the nicer one, not sure for how long though. Gonna give it a test drive.

Nevermind… ahaha! After driving it for 15 mins, letting it sit for an hour while I was doing something, it now refuses to start. Even with starter fluid, which makes me think it’s ignition related? At first it would idle like **** at ~1250, and closing the choke helped it idle. But now it...

I'll send some pictures when I run by my house today. When I DO remount the 1920, I'll adjust the float level and see if I can't get fuel flow after adjustment. I've looked at the service manual now I know where it is. I'll check at my house for that counterweight moving about a 1/2" CCW...

Hey guys, I haven't abandoned this thread or anything. Just got busy with life. Car's had a major oil leak (half quart overnight) for the past week and a half so I'm going to see what it is tomorrow. Been spending way too much on oil. Probably the oil pan but we'll see. I've read some other...

yes. 1000% yes. I at the moment, have a 1945 which is pretty crusty and fubar looking, a 6145 (no difference after rebuilding) on the car, and a 1920 that I can’t get fuel flow after rebuilding. I also have no idea what throttle linkage I need for it. Do you think the weird exhaust manifold I...

haven’t. should i get one? seems useful.

Thanks for the input, lot of good information there. No, I haven’t verified TDC. Car’s been upgraded to a Petronix ignition, so I’m gonna have a look at some manuals and figure out how to use a lot of the words you gave me. I’ve never done timing stuff before, so I guess there’s a first for...

Blocked off the port, no change. I’ll hit search for the vac leak tmrw with carb cleaner.

I dunno. I’ll reference factory manuals when I get home. I replaced the sus vacuum cap and it made no difference. The vacuum line from the distributor to the carb is fine, no cracking or anything. Still need to replace the one from the big red cap to the air cleaner though. Nobody has 1-1/4” line.

Haven’t yet, I don’t want to set my car on fire. Hard to do when it can barely maintain idle plus the choke doesn’t reset to cold position by itself, so I have to short the starter relay and set the idle in order to do any sort of troubleshooting in that regard. I’ll try later during a cold start.

Alright. Replaced the vac line going from the distributor to the carb. and the line going from the pcv valve to the carb. Miiight be a bit smoother? can't really tell, seems the same. Auto parts store didn't have 1 1/4 hose in stock for the breather to the air cleaner, so gonna get that...

Yeah I did that when I rebuild it. Ran the same as before. Big difference was made when I replaced the bad vacuum plug.

Car DID have a major vac leak from a bad vacuum plug (made loud hissing noise and had really bad idle) and it went back to the other shitty idle it has now. I two foot it everywhere. It'll idle at ~650rpm most of the time, sometimes it wants to idle at ~1000. Just depends. I'll replace all the...

attached: - cool instructions that came with my 1920 that looked important for the forum - whatever this is. electronic choke solenoid? came with the carbs. - the wire (white going to red/black) that goes to the bottom of the ballast resistor (black plug) - weird exhaust manifold? Did this...
