Does anybody know which years are interchangeable for windshield wiper pivots? I'm looking for some for my 51 Plymouth.

Beste Kustoms--is that chopped just a little bit or is that the camera angle?

Thanks,
Joe

 

daddiojoe,
are yours just pitted up and nasty looking or are you missing them altogether?
mine were pitted and peeling, I just kept grinding and sanding on them till the pitts were gone then polished the base metal.
they now look great.

Missing completely. Thanks for the tip though, Jeff.

 

I may have some for a 51 dodge in storage and think there's still a set on the 50 dodge shell out back. I'll have a look for them if you can find someone that'll confirm they fit !
Lemme know

I've been reading a lot of you are planning or did a 318 + 904 build in their 50's mopar.
I'd love to so some pics of that. Also what experiences do you guys have on this conversion?

I have a 50 coronet,will post some pics later.

 

Take a look at post #452 on this thread it has links to the article I wrote about a 318/904 swap in a '51 Plymouth. Driving it 10 years now, a great setup.

tnx proartgay, really helpful article.

I was wondering, is the engine space of a Plymouth the same as a Dodge? (also the width of the rear axle?)
- are those early a-body exhaust manifolds?

I might have some more stupid questions later, but sometimes it's better to be sure then learning it the hard way.

 

Hot damn yeti! I always admire your avatar when I see it but actually seeing it in a larger pic is awesome!
