I RandR Plugs, cap, rotor, condensor,wires,coil and removed the 1 bbl carb. I sprayed the intake carb hole with ether and it tried to start. Yippy!!! Carb shaft is so worn and I here ya'll stories about Reman carbs so I bought a '79 Aspen today. This aspen will donate a hood and grill for my '79 Volare with 27k actual miles. However, this Aspen will donate its "Super 6" setup for this '61 Dodge. I have my fingers crossed about the carb on the Aspen. The Aspen has a 100k miles.

Very cool - congrats!

That's a neat car! My grandfather had a Seneca back in the day. He drove it until the battery rusted through the tray and the suspension rotted off. A Super Six ought to put a little bit more motivation into it.

agree, today a '61 Seneca is a cool car,,,,

however, think for a moment, and set your self in 1961 as a new Car Salesman, with a wife, a kid, maybe a mortgage,, and you needed to sell those to get a paycheck,,

Any chance of finding a good original 1 bbl carb??? The tag # is 3099S

The slant 6 was dominating the race scenes and if you anted up and checked the box you could take your share of wins at the drag strip with a cross ram and pull your car with one of the most unique wagons Dodge ever made. A good salesman can sell ice to an Eskimo.

I met a guy thats converting his running '61 /6 to a V-8 car. He's shipping his carb to me. Yea!!!

When I was a young lad my Father had a 1960 Dodge Seneca with the 225 and a three speed manual. Good car, he killed it like all the rest he had but I helped cause I was 16-17 and drove just like you would expect. Found out it would do 98 MPH. Good luck with yours . Comfortable car.

I pulled the rocker arm assy. and have it soaking. I found out today while scraping the pounds of mud to
find the engine and trans. and I discovered the motor had been swapped out for a rebuild in '74-'75. 10/10 with 30 over. The farmer never heard of a car wash. lol 1 rocker foot needs a little grind or are most people replacing the rocker??? The oil pump wasn't even visible. Should I remove and clean it or just take out the relief valve??? Which hole should I force air through to clean valve trane oil passages in the head???

i'm just trying to get it up and running and its uglier than any old Corona. In fact,it just might scare the Corona to death.
