'59 Plymouth Forum

Proportioning valves are generally used in disc front, drum rear systems to avoid having the front brakes lock up before the rears. Probably not necessary in your case.

Master cylinder could be defective, only creating pressure at the one port. Very common problem.

Fantastic car!!!

This is a case where the fire turned out to be a blessing in disguise!

I'll second that. We have a local shop here that has done ten or so re-cores for me and my customers, never a problem, and solves many troublesome overheating issues. No cheap, last one I had done was close to $500. With the top tank off, it's simple to remove the dent, as brass is a more malleable ...

Cool story, and glad you found the car you were looking for!!!

Sometimes it's a bit hard from the other side of the world!!!

I rebuild heater valves for the price of $100 if anyone needs that service. The only direct interchange to fit power steering is '57-'59 Chrysler products, although Imperial may use a different column. The early '58 to '59 units are preferable to the '57 units. '57 are aluminum, '58-9 are cast iron....

80 degrees here, a chance to dry out from the flooding. Y'all can keep that white stuff!! LOL!

Seems a bit high, but I could be wrong. You might check with Roger at AAJ brakes, he sells a kit to service Forward Look cars.

Looks like a pretty decent body!!!

Welcome!!!

Lots of good info on this board, and helpful members if you have a question.

Post some pics of your car when you get a chance!

Might take another ride to Carlisle once the '59 Desoto convertible is done, but this year going to Europe to visit friends in Sweden, also to Scotland and England.

Nice job!!!!!!!

Flooding in the vicinity here. A berm has been built across the highway to hopefully keep floodwaters out of town.

Bo Malefors had this car previously. He had offered it to me a few years ago.

All Mopars in this era use a crank bolt that has a 1 1/4" hex.
