I changed the oil today. Having the flexible braided lines on the filter housing paid off when I was able to pour out a half quart of more of old oil that would have otherwise remained behind. I had put 40 miles on it between October and today then put over 20 miles on it today. I'm trying to burn off most of the old gas that's in the tank from last September so I can give it an infusion of new fuel.

Today, I installed an NOS piece of hood trim I bought from user Powerflite.

Today, I took it in and had new tires installed. There's not much selection in 75 series anymore. I read that if a tire doesn't have a DOT date code, it's older than 1990. My tires had no date codes.

I'm running 235/75/15s. Look similar to yours. What brand did you use?

What is your disc brake conversion?

I didn't realize the difference between 55 and 56 Grills:

They're Hankook. The only tire the place I used had in 215/75-15. Cost me $382 out the door, but there's supposed to be a $70 rebate. Disc brake conversion is from Scarebird. Cadillac hoses, Probe rotors, S-10 calipers.

Thanks Terrence for both answers. I've been finding lately that I *am* getting some rubbing of my 235/75/15s on my 56 Dodge on the inside of the front tires (frame and tie rods ends) and the outside of the rear tires (on the rear wheel well lip - even I trimmed a bunch of metal out of there before the tires were installed back in the fall of 2016). So 215/75/15 would be a good alternative for me.

I asked about the disc brakes on behalf of George B. who does visit the forum and is interested in a brake conversion for his 56 Dodge with 11" drums.

I will pass the info along.

'56 knuckles should be different than '55. The disk brake conversion process will be the same, but the caliper mounting bracket, rotor, and caliper might be different. A lot of the specifics of my conversion are back on pages 2 and 3 of this thread.

Thanks for the reminder about your earlier work. I went back and reviewed the photos and the text. I captured the brake related stuff and created a WORD doc if you want a copy for your files.

Never too late for a better document (than what I pieced together). I've pm'd you here at the forum with my email address.

Going back to page 3 of this thread, which Gabriel shocks did you use for the rear? These ones:

The rear shocks are the same application as later A-body rears. I think they were 81469.

Thanks Terrence. I chased Gabriel 81469s at Rock Auto and then went back in and pretended my car was a 68 Dodge Dart 340 (which would be okay to have ) and got this result:

Today, I took it out for a ride and it seemed to be suffering from the ignition breaking up and fuel starvation. I pulled the fuel filter and was quite shocked by how much rust came out of it. After putting on a new filter, I pulled a couple of plugs. On both, the electrodes had been hit by the valves and the gaps had closed up to about .020 (should be .060 with HEI). I looked down in the cylinder and saw a nice shiny circle inscribed on the valve (at least the valves are rotating) by the plug electrode. So, I've ordered a set of indexing washers. That should fix that problem.

So I would say, either your cam is too high a lift or your plugs extend too far into the head, i.e. they are too hot and you need "colder" plugs.

Yesterday, I finally got up the nerve to tackle replacing the cracked driver door glass. It wasn't too bad of a job. The worst part was, after getting the unbroken glass on to the regulator, I had trouble getting it to sit square in the door. I finally realized that a regulator roller had popped out of a small length of channel attached to the inner door skin. Once I popped that back in, it went fine. Even getting the vent window assembly out wasn't difficult. Now, I have to get new window channel.

That style Champion plug ends in Y or YC. It is the extended reach version. You may need to use the standard reach version. Same heat range, but the tip is flush with the shell.

This is a flathead engine correct? The champion listing for this is a RJ12C (592). Are those a RJ12YC? They extend too far into the chamber.

These are RJ18YC6 plugs. It's what I was sold as the correct plug to work with the HEI. It's painfully obvious the tip length is not compatible with my flathead. I'm going to try indexing washers first.

Yes, if you can index the side electrode to face away from the valve these should help.

Yesterday, I regapped the plugs and put the .050 washers under the plugs. I reached out to Langdon's for a non-extended-tip plug recommendation and they suggested RJ18C6. A plug that, as far as I can tell, doesn't exist. I plugged that number into an online spark plug cross reference and it suggested ACDelco R46SZ, Autolite 847, Accel 198. I'll have to get a look at those plugs and see if any would work.

Looking in the NAPA catalog, the only one of these without the extended reach is the AC R46SZ.

Apparently those tires have been discontinued.

That said my local tire shop found some locally (in a wholesale warehouse). CDN$700 for four out the door (mounted, balanced, taxes, environmental levies, etc. in). US$382 is about CDN$512.

Hmm....

Try 215/70-15. it's a more common size and may be less expensive. Probably a closer match to the original diameter of the 6.70-15 they originally came with.

6.70-15 maybe on your Savoy, not my 56 Dodge D500. 7.60-15 at least.

(in a previous thread, I determined that my stock wheels were 5.5" wide which implied either 7.60 or 8.00 wide tires):

I have a feeling I'm probably just going to resign myself to using indexing washers to buy the clearance I need. Not a big deal. Langdon's told me they think my head was shaved at some point.

While I found it impossible to get an exact measurement, it looks to me that the AC plugs protrude about .045 less than the Champions.

I was having a devil of a time setting the timing. Eventually, I realized the 0 I was seeing was part of a 10. So, I finally took some sandpaper to the pulley and found the "DC" marks hiding under years of rust and crud. I hit it with some brake cleaner then some white model paint and wiped off the excess with my finger. That made it easier.

I drove it from Frederick to Hagerstown yesterday for the weekly cruise in at the Valley Mall. First I've had it over 50mph since last summer. It pulled pretty well for such an old girl. I was able to maintain the 70mph speed limit even on the long grades. I may have to pull a little timing out of it as it detonated just a little near the tops of the biggest grades. Now that it's gotten good and hot, I may do a comprehensive lubricant change again (engine oil, transmission, differential).

I realized that the spring I fitted to my wiper arm, while a significant improvement over what was there, just wasn't really strong enough to pull the blade firmly against the glass. So, I installed a pair of ANCO adjustable arms. While I'm not thrilled with the appearance, it's a worthwhile trade off to have functional wipers.

This car gets better every post, good work Terrance. It must be like going back in time driving this one. Steve.

Honestly, we're starting to think about selling it and buying something else to fix up. I'm kind of torn. I just don't have room to park another car. So, to get something else, I have to sell something. Although, I have so much time and effort in this one, I'd hate to see it go.

I understand completely. She sure has come along way.

She's begging for a big road trip, though!

When I'm not doing daycare for my grandson, I've been consumed with sorting out the wiring on the '71 which will hopefully go for paint soon. It's been apart for over a year and a half. I've barely touched the wagon. I need to start it and drive it around a bit. I don't think it has run since Carlisle.

We drove it to the Mopar show at Miller's in Martinsburg, WV today. A couple of people said they were interested in buying it, but quickly disappeared when I let them know I'd sell it to them.

I got tired of looking at the holes in the door for the spotlight. So, I dug out the old non-working spotlight and sawed the part that goes all the way through the door short and remounted it. The shaft and shaft jacket were both bent anyway and I didn't have the handle anyway. However, with the shaft and jacket cut, there was nothing holding the head of the spotlight up. So, I drilled and tapped the jacket and put in a set screw.

I ordered a parking brake band, window channel, and window sweeps. I'm hoping that my Charger will be going to paint soon and free up a garage spot so I can bring the wagon in and work on it without having to worry about the weather.
