'59 Plymouth Forum

Help needed. Again... :lol: One valve spring snapped and i`m about to change them all. I noticed that the old springs and new ones too are too big (wide). Springs can move sideways on the head and valve retainers. (before locking them on place of course) Does it really matter or will i have problems...

Finally had some time to inspect the heating system. I noticed that the heater control valve is missing so its always "hot" inside the car. There is couple new original valves on ebay, but i dont know do i want to invest 175 bucks for it. Maybe i but some aftermarket valve on it, we'll see...

Thanks!
We got the starter fixed, but it didn`t last too long and it`s broken again. So i ordered a brand new one yesterday.

Thanks!
Actually i bought the car just 2 months ago. Previous owner had her about 9 years if i can remember right, and he did the engine and the interior.

Thanks!

I heard from elsewhere that the only difference is cranking power, so your guess was right. We check first if the old starter can be fixed. The new one is pretty expensive.

Btw here is more pictures of the car.

Question is whats the difference between a mdt-6001 and mdu-7001 starters. I could have a new mdt-6001 starter so would it be ok? In pics both start...
