Hey guys, the check ball that I added to the rebuilt carb's jet pump had been causing the problem (I removed it). I also noticed that the old carb actually had a place for the check ball to rest in the bottom. The new one allowed the ball to roll into the hole with little resistance. Anyway...

I'll look in to it. Although, it took an act of God for carquest to get there hands on one for me. If I took it back, I might face even more difficulty obtaining one that is better than the crap I already have :( - - - Updated - - - I just made absolutely sure my timing was good. I had to make...

Well... I replaced all the rubber fuel hoses and installed a brand new fuel pump. There is still the same problem. Despite the fact that I fooled with the carburetor to the point of it spraying fuel out of the accelerator pump linkage. :( I had the car idling for a bit (before I messed up...

I'll begin by adjusting the float to allow for a higher fuel level in the bowl. I still won't discount the possibly clogged fuel sock in the tank.

Hello there, I have a mysterious problem that has developed with my 1962 Plymouth Belvedere. I have installed a new (exactly the same) single barrel BBS carburetor on its slant 6. Before doing so the car ran fine, however, the old carburetor had an irreparable accelerator pump. The car had...

Hello Badvert65. I have a 1962 Plymouth Belvedere with the original slant 6. I am interested in changing the oil pump and was curious about the approach. I am an experienced mechanic needing some preliminary advice. I have the new one already. The old one is working ok as far as I know. I...

Hey dvw, I got the seal today. Thank you again. Hopefully one day I'll have the chance to return the favor.

Ok. I'm glad you shared this information 1948 Santa. Hopefully two sharp picks and care not to scar the aluminum, it will come out.

Thank ya'll very much. I'm glad some people are still interested in the old vintage cars.

Hello Doug, I would really appreciate it. It is "533 Lee Rd 57 lot 137 Auburn, Alabama 36832". I'm not sure how long it would take to get here. I imagine something that small could travel by normal mail. Lets hope I don't screw it up. That particular seal is hard to find.

Thank you emore, Now I just need to find a place to buy the seal. No parts houses around here carry such.

Hello everyone, I have a question about my 1962 Plymouth Belvedere. I have a serious leak at the seal where the kickdown rod attaches to the transmission. I need to know if I can replace this seal without the use of special tools. I was told by a professional transmission mechanic that...

Thanks for advice guys. I finally got the car to start. I had put the timing gears to where their marks were closest together and facing each other (according to Chilton manual). The chain was pretty old and had some slack but, I don't believe it slipped (no money to replace). After aligning...

I will do that now. I have been setting it at 0 degrees BTDC; Maybe that is a probable cause. Thanks! It may be a while, I have no help with cranking.

I have replaced the following items: Points Condenser wires cap rotor-button ballast resistor I set the time as best as possible by using the position of the #1 cylinder's valve spring positions, the harmonic balancer marks, and the rotor-button. Everything checks out good for the timing...

Yes, but it is yellow. At first, with the original ignition switch, the car would start and stay running only with the starter engaged. I have used a few old ballasts I have laying around. They might all be bad but, what are the chances? Now the car won't even pop or fire with starting fluid...

This post is for my 1962 Plymouth Belvedere. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Here is what I have accomplished so far: I have replaced the points and gaped them at .020 . The condenser was replaced today because the spark is yellow. I have read it's supposed to be blue. I have also put...

Hello everybody, I'm glad to finally be on this amazing web site. I joined because I need some help with my 1962 Plymouth Belvedere. I traded my Toyota for it; the guy recently found it in a barn. It is all original and surprisingly came with air-conditioning. I have been working on the 225...
