Re: Replacing motor mounts in a 56 passenger car
I've only done mounts on front wheel drive previously, so this was definitely more than I was used to.
I had enough parts I was considering replacing along the way to make it worth the effort. I...

Re: Replacing motor mounts in a 56 passenger car
Sounds about right on how companies take care of their fleet vehicles. My dad used to be a milkman and said every truck was practically taped together back then.
I saw someone on YouTube who...

Re: Replacing motor mounts in a 56 passenger car
If it's the one at the top of the shift linkage you need, that's the Dorman number I mentioned that worked great. Both ODs were exactly what I needed and there was absolutely no slop. The ID was...

Re: Replacing motor mounts in a 56 passenger car
I finally had time to revisit this between work and disgusting humid days. Not that I wasn't still pouring sweat after.
So the second replacement mount came and it was right this time with two...

Re: Replacing motor mounts in a 56 passenger car
I looked around on the 6 cylinder mounts. They appear to be similar and one set I found a picture of did have offset holes, but look to be a slightly smaller design.

Re: Replacing motor mounts in a 56 passenger car
So poking around more, it appears Anchor 2110 mounts seem to have the offset holes I was looking at as well as full threads on the studs. They still don't differentiate as to why the difference...

Re: Replacing motor mounts in a 56 passenger car
Thanks for the follow up, Dave. You're correct that the perches are vertically slotted for installation.
That's interesting that the mounts may not be stock. I'm trying to figure out if the...

Re: Replacing motor mounts in a 56 passenger car

Re: Replacing motor mounts in a 56 passenger car
Thanks, Al. I did forget to mention that I have both exhaust manifolds off at the moment. I had a crack in one of them so pulled both off prior to this project. I noticed there's no flex sections in...

Re: Petronix upgrade
Personally, I have the Igniter I with Autolite 46s and just an off the shelf coil from Pep Boys and I haven't had a problem. Its been going for close to ten years and never had a spark issue.
