P15 Flathead 6 cylinder

Manual

Engine- 95HP P15 Flathead 6 cylinder. I bought the car 18 years ago. It wasn’t running when I bought it. I stripped down the carburetor and rebuilt it. I put a new set of points and condenser in it. I also replaced the spark plugs and wires. I put new oil in the engine and a new oil filter. I removed the gas tank and washed and resealed it with the POR15 gas tank sealer. I ran a new gas line to the mechanical pump and got the car running again.After I replaced the front brake shoes I was driving the car regularly, driving it to work every day. One nuisance problem was the brake master cylinder losing fluid. I had to periodically top it off. That still needs to be fixed and I would recommend rebuilding the brake cylinders in each of the drums (4 wheel drum brakes). I have kept starting it and running it the entire time I have owned it. I got to the point that I did not trust the tires (needs new tires), so I stopped driving it around too much, but I would still move it up and down the driveway to keep things working. That is up until last September when I tried to get it started and I couldn’t get it going (it was last running in early 2012). I started diagnosing it. I noticed that one of the wires had broken from the back of the ignition switch so I hotwired it, but still no luck. I figured out that spark was the problem so I bought a new coil, new points and new condenser. I was planning to get it running this spring but never got around to it. I have the parts and will include them in the dsale of the car. I also bought a 6V inline fuel pump that will go with it as well. Fuel that is in the tank should be replaced (I was running good fuel straight to the bowl when I was trying to start it). All the cylinders had good compression. Exterior: The car was repainted a few years before I bought it. When I purchased the car I treated all rust spots that I could find with rust converter and then covered with silver touch up paint. I also did the same with the drip edge. The body has stayed in excellent condition for all these years. THERE IS VERY LITTLE RUST ON THE CAR. It has been kept indoors or under cover for the 18 years I have owned it. The front grill is in great shape. The front and rear bumpers are in good shape. They need re-chromed. The interior is in excellent condition. It was also redone just before I bought it (probably when the paint was done). Only thing that needs attention is the headliner, which looks good but not perfect. All the gages work. It is missing the radio and the clock does not work. The heater works. Transmission is in good shape and clutch is good. The glass is all in excellent condition, although the passenger side rear window has a crack in it. I found the source of the break and fixed it (a rivet up inside the window channel). Horn works. You are welcome to call with any questions, thank you, John Paul 321-576-2717
