my '69 Plymouth

Post by JinxJay »

well, finally have it on the road, it drives really well,
but the cam has to go , the six pack will not run right as it has so little vacuum,
also I'm about to convert to power bakes, kind of need vacuum for that too,
spent a bit of time on the paint work, and have to say its come up a treat,
oil slick black, and the shine is getting deeper.

That looks fantastic.

I know what you mean about lack of vacuum on a 6 pak car.

Somtimes a vacuum pump is the only answer, I ran one on a Coronet with a degree of success. Personally, I prefer manual brakes.

Hellfire that's stunning!
I've no vacuum either, but I'm running a 750 dp and manual brakes so not an issue.

Absolutely spot on, what a nice car...I'm with our esteemed Chairman, well set up manual brakes are fine.
The pump don’t work coz the vandals took the handles.

thank you very much for all the positive replys,
as Richard says, I am well chuffed :-)
and thanks for the comparison pics Si, good to see a before and after.
I am changing the cam, just to make it more streetable, with the stock auto box at low revs its not fun to drive,
also has the wrong brake valve, set up for drum/drum,
its a car I want to use as oftern as possible, even though its show car quality at the moment.

Good on ya, the car looks wonderful, I even like the wheels! Know what you mean, re. the cam being a bit much. If it was done in the States, they do like big cams... Mine's got stock (11") drums without power and drives no prob at all. Cheers, John

My Polara has 11" x 3" power drums and she stops very well. Very important to get them properly adjusted up so the car doesn't pull when braking :shock: :shock:
