Hi,
I bought a 1950 Custom Touring Sedan, and it appears that the Ultramatic transmission has been replaced by a TH400 but the column quadrant is still Ultramatic shifting indicator. Would you happen to have Jack Nordstrom address in Texas? I would like to know if he still has the correct column quadrant which went with the kit.
Please let me know.
Regards,
J-P

Thank Fred.
I think I know which way to go now with the tires. I will check the price of radial Diamondback P235/75-15 white walls, vs Coker. However, many on the forum don't seem to be satisfied with Coker. So I still need to fine tune my research as the whole package is expensive.
As for my front suspension, I refilled the front shock absorbers. However, as I bounced the car on the left side, the shock absorber leaked a lot. On the right side, after I refilled the shock absorber, I could not bounce the car a lot. The shock absorber is almost stuck and leaks as well. So I am in for a rebuild!
I have contacted Max Merritt and Apple Hydraulics so far for price and availability. I will contact kanter as well.
Any suggestion or recommendation is welcome.
Have a good evening.

Thanks bkazmer.
I am not concerned by a judging deduction. As my car is a very good condition, it is not Concours. I think for the amount of driving i do per year, i will try to stick as close as possible to the original in width.

Thanks Fred.
I had the alignment done about 3 weeks ago, but from the answers i got from all the messages, I definitely must check the front shock absorbers first, replace the tires, and replace the rear shocks.
I had given the shop a copy of the spec for the alignment. However, once I fix the suspension and replace the tires, I will have it checked again.
Regarding the tires I was thinking L78-15 Classic Bias ply from Coker (because of price), but can you elaborate on the preference for Diamondback radials?
Do you know if there is a significant driving difference?
Since I have to buy a new set, I might as well buy what's best.
I replaced the pitman arm, all the rubber bushings, and the stabiliser links, and had the front end services (greased).
As far as cost...I know what you mean..I am not done yet and I know how much I spent already. But my car is in real good condition, except that it has been sitting for few years, and needs some mechanical TLC..

Thanks Don for the advice. I thought so. I will get new tires and refill the front shock absorbers as soon as I can. I want to enjoy the car a little more before winter.

Hi Owen,
Please see my question below regarding the type of oil to use to refill the front shocks.

Thanks Ozstatman.
What type of oil would I use for the front shocks?
Motor oil regular or synthetic, transmission fluid or rear end fluid?
