@JustHarry - Have spoken to him but he doesn't have stock - going to take the pump in some time this week and see if we can do anything by sample

Have got a generic one way valve to replace the above one. next problem is fuel pump - Carter mo-1063 is the original so got one that was listed for a 318 on rock auto with some other bits but isn’t the right one. struggling to find a pump for a 313, anyone got any leads?

Yeah I saw that listing. I’ve got a one way valve coming locally ($10 on trademe or something) in theory a pretty simple application so I’ll either try and glue my one back together or hook this other valve up

Found this out yesterday haha, managed to find it and get it out but did spill a wee bit of oil. Any idea if spin on adapters are available locally? Might need to do some research but that area is pretty shit to get any filter out of I reckon

Good idea. Didn’t think of that

Does anyone know if there’s a modern reproduction part for this? looks like some sort of valve in an air line to power brakes and potentially window wipers? Part number on it is 1944089 but wondering if it’s something potentially generic?

Hmm, didn't see anything like that down the side but it was getting pretty dark at the time (and my wife was running out of patience lol) - I'll hopefully be with the car again tomorrow so will have a better look around - that looks like it should be pretty easy to find though.

Ordered some bits and pieces last night to try and get the engine running, plugs,points, condenser, fuel pump, carb kit. drained the old oil out of it but forgot to check the fuel tank. Hopefully that was already drained, not likely to try and run it from the tank at this stage anyway. does anyone know where the original oil filter location is on these? Or whether the oil cooler was factory or a factory option? If anyone knows either let me know on the discussion thread, thanks

Does anyone know the factory oil filter location on these? Looks like this has an oil cooler of some sort hooked up, drained the oil today. this is by the oil pan but unsure what it is?

Yeah that’s my understanding too. Being lapsed I don’t have any record of ownership transfers over the years but we’re fairly certain this got brought around late 91 (parents got married on September not sure when they went on the honeymoon though)

Yeah push button auto this one too - think it's a Canadian 313 rather than the 318

Yup that's the dodge, it's a 59 Kingsway - it's in a much better state now - photo below. There's a project thread in here for that one on my profile

Project Thread:

Figured I would start a project thread for this one - following the completion of the Dodge last year, I've finally got a little bit of motivation to start having a look at the Plymouth. Likely to be a bit more work in this one than the Dodge, this one is a dead rego (have got permission to re-use the plates with NZTA already) and has some rust work that will need doing - mostly noticed it around the rear windscreen but I haven't had the car out of the garage to have a proper look. The story behind this one - Mum and Dad were on their honeymoon around the South Island in 1991, Dad brought this one home with him from St Andrews (just south of Timaru) - registration was lapsed when Dad brought it (lapsed in 1990) got parked in the garage and never touched. Some conjecture whether the car was driven home or trailered, I recall Dad saying it was driven home slowly with some sort of issue but since then have discovered it was potentially trailered home. Believe this is a poly 313 with the auto (probably a 3 speed I suspect, but not 100% sure) Pulled the radiator out last night to try and turn the crank by hand (everything was in the way to test it in there) - good news is it turns freely, plan from here is to get a carb kit & maybe some brake parts to try and get the thing moving and stopping to see what's wrong with it and asses the project as a whole.
