I used awesome from dollar tree, sprayed and rinsed looked new! You wont believe the crud that comes out.

I saw a film clip that showed Ernest Hemingways 55 Chrysler Convertible down there. some radio station was supposed to help restore it.

The 53 has a 3.54 I drove it with the Fordomatic shifting very poorly and slipping! The C4 is Ok at 55 0r 60, but turns the stock 239 pretty hard at interstate speeds. I do not have a tach on it so I cant tell you what it is turning.

Sorry I am dyslexic got my letters wrong!

Question for Ross and the F1 Guys. I am assembling my front sheet metal, as I tore it apart over a year ago I don't remember which way the brackets mount. The brackets will mount either way, which way does the C shaped channel face front or back? Thanks Tony

I have one with the Sherman auxiliary trans in it, It is overdrive, direct and under drive. The only bad thing is the pto is controlled by trans speed. You don't want to put the mower in gear in O.D. Boy it will sing to you then!

I have a drawing someone on here sent me, all details and measurements. If no one comes up with one for you i'll look it up and send it to you. Tony

If it starts charging after another Rev Up as you are driving, something is wrong with it. If it does not, the internal regulator has probably sensed battery at full charge. Hook up a temp volt meter see what voltage looks like in battery. Mine does that in My 53 and my 51 no problems with...

I have a set of helper coils that came on the back of my 51 F1, mounted just like that looks almost factory. Coil fits over the rubber bumper stop on the frame.
