Nothing

My 1959 Dodge Coronet has a a 2 barrel Stromberg WW carb on it. About 6 months ago I rebuilt the carb but have had some problems with it. Just this past weekend I tried to run the car but could not get it too idle. There was a strong smell of fuel and lots of exhaust smoke. I then noticed the...

Good evening everyone, I've got my new/used 326 Red Ram in my car. Engine spins over nicely, I have spark and good oil pressure while cranking. The problem is when I turn the key the engine will crank and attempt to fire but then stop. Then I turn the key and nothing...no clicking nothing...

Good morning everyone, I'm finishing up restoring the engine on my 1959 Dodge Coronet. Before I drop the engine in the car I need to fix the drum style parking brake on the back of the Powerflight transmission. The reason is that it does not have really any travel when pulling the parking...

I pulled a front and rear wheel and removed the drum on my 1959 Dodge Coronet. I was expecting it to be easy to identify but I'm just not positive. I think it's the 3 platform type brakes but wanted to confirm with the experts here. I'm also curious where the best place is to buy brake shoes...

Good morning everyone, I just wanted to introduce my new to me 1959 Dodge Coronet 2 dr HT. I started looking for this car when I saw the post on the "Bastardized Coronet" posted by Wetskier2000. Once I saw the grumpy front end and those amazing fins/tail lights I knew I was in love and I had...

I've been thinking about buying a 1959 Dodge Coronet. There don't seem to be a lot of those out there for sale. I've seen a few 4 door cars that run and drive for around $8-12k. As expected, 2 door cars are more expensive. So what is a fair price for a 2 or 4 door that does not run and needs...

My car runs ok but been thinking I should rebuild the carb. Most shops around me charge $275 and up for that service and I've done a few rebuilds in the past and not hard. My question is, does anyone know where to buy a rebuild kit for the factory Carter/AFB 4 barrel carb that came on the 318...

Good morning all, I've noticed that the Fel pro cork gaskets I used on my valve covers do not seem to be thick enough. I'm not sure if there is a slight bow in the valve covers, but once the three bolts are tightened down I can still move the lower edge in the center of the valve cover gasket...

My 1958 Plymouth Belvedere has the 318 engine with a generator. The car is now running well, except for some blow by, but I've noticed on the aftermarket gauges I added that at anything above idle the battery is getting around 16 volts. Some times it even goes up to 17 volts. I've checked...

I'm wondering why the 1958 Plymouth hubcaps are so much harder to find than the 1957 Plymouth hubcaps. Is it because everyone wants a "Christine" car? Also, what is a fair price for a set of 4? If seen prices all over the place. Thanks.

I've been looking around but can't seem to find a back up light lens for my 1958 Plymouth Belvedere. I see lots of lenses on ebay but they are for the 1958 Plymouth Suburban. I'm assuming this lens would not work on my car but wanted to ask to confirm. If not, does anyone know a place that...

Good morning everyone, I hope everyone is surviving this crazy weather. I'm planning on changing my 3 speed auto transmission fluid and I can find a transmission pan gasket but can't seem to find a transmission filter anywhere. I looked in my factory service manual but it only mentions...

I'm replacing some of the side sportone trim/chrome on the sides of my 58 Belvedere and wondering if anyone knows a part number for the clips that retain the door chrome? I've seen clips on amazon and ebay but not sure which clips are the ones I need. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks and...

Happy Holidays!! The starter in my 1958 Plymouth Belvedere seems to be struggling. It does not spin the engine over fast enough to start it. I've tried several batteries which I know are good and it turns slowly with all of them. I even added a booster pack to a freshly charged battery and...

Good morning everyone, I finally bought my first Plymouth. It is a 1958 Plymouth Belvedere 4 door. I was looking for a 2 door but they are VERY hard to find and are CRAZY EXPENSIVE. The car I bought has the 4 barrel V8 and 3 speed push button automatic. The car has been in the same family...

Good morning everyone, I'm new to the forum. Been chasing my version of a "Christine" car for awhile and finally realizing that any 2 door 57 or 58 Plymouths are CRAZY expensive and super hard to find. Finally decided I might get a version of "Christine" with 2 extra doors. Not what I...
