Thank you for the message. Ya, I agree 100% with you. Crazy to me that an engine builder would install it on the wrong way, to fit a temporary shipping crate, so that it would later have to be switched around….possibly requiring a new gasket….and I’m assuming dumping a bunch of oil out of it, in...

Ok. Thanks a lot. I will tell him that! He said that I can do it when I do the first oil change, but another person on here was saying that he doesn’t think the exhaust will even be able to be hooked up in the location it’s currently in

Wow. Really? I’ll post a pic of the kind that the engine builder sold me. See if it’s proper. I’m sure it will say zinc on it, if it’s the right one then. Thanks!

Awesome! Looks sweet!

Ya. I’ll change oil and filter right away. I got extra from the engine builder. Thanks

Yep. Agreed. I’ll be calling him today

Right. I never thought of that! Thanks

Ya. He still says that it can’t be turned without hitting. But I think the whole assembly needs to be taken off and turned or something. He says it’s out of the way of the steering now, but it looks weird to me, facing the front of the car. Hopefully it’s ok to run it like that until I can...

Ya, I wondered that as well. I’m not exactly sure how they work. Thanks!

That’s what I said the the builder. But he says that bellhousing sticks out to same level as filter. I’ll keep everyone posted. He just said that he turned it and it’s clearing the steering now. Says he doesn’t think its my original part (90 degree adapter, I’m assuming he means). But I don’t...

The builder is saying that he thinks engine builder didn’t reuse the same part as was on it when I pulled the engine. I’m not sure from pictures. It’s hard, when I don’t understand what it’s supposed to look like. He says that if he turns it to face then rear, the bell housing is in the way

It looks like when I pulled the engine, it was correct and after the engine rebuild, the filter is turned the complete wrong way

Ohhhhhh. I will ask him this! Thank you!

New question for you guys! I talked to the builder yesterday. He says that while steering the car, the steering hits the oil filter. He says that he needs to sort out why that is. Any ideas?? He didn’t sound too overly concerned. Just said that he had to sort it out. I know he had parts from 2...

Thanks a lot! Yep, my kids will be driving the old girl one day….and telling the story. Pretty cool to know that

Agreed! I think I’m over thinking lots. But mostly just trying to figure out the puzzle! Can’t wait to drive it

Great looking project there! My booster. Had a Plymouth decal on it, so it’s definitely a factory built part

Ya. I’m learning that things were done a lot differently back when these cars were built. Lol. Even when I was looking over the build part way through and pointing out a few little defects that I wanted addressed. The builder said that these cars were never built perfectly from the factory. Then...

Thanks! That’s what I will likely end up doing! Much appreciated

Very true! Thanks :)

Ahhh. Good to know! Maybe I should have left it off the build, to keep it original then. If that’s the case. Looks like if might be, since the code for brake booster isn’t on the fender tag

Cool! Thanks! My car does not have disc brakes. I agree….I can’t see someone adding it either

Thanks! Ya, we looked everywhere as the the car was being torn down

Hello. Thanks for following! No, there was only a piece left maybe the size of a toonie. The mice got it :(

Thank you. Ya, I don’t see either of them on my tag

Thanks for the reply. I don’t see B51 on my fender tag

Ya. I hear you there. I’m assuming they were original to the car. Not sure how to know that for sure. But they likely are

Ya for sure. To each their own. Ill decide once I see it in person

Thanks! Ya, I’ll likely pull them off once I get it home!
