    Timing question #1 vs #4 cyl

    There was also the IHC 266 V8. I bought a 64 Step Side PU when I got out of the Navy in 66. Took it to a shop to have the timing checked. They tried to time it like a Chevy off #1 and said it was so far off didn`t know how it ran. That I better get it fixed or I`d ruin my engine....LOL Goat

    Summit Radiator?

    A bunch of storms are coming in this whole week, so thought I better get this new radiator off the front Porch. Dragged it out of the box and gave her a good look over. Hardly a scratch on it. By the look of the box, I knew it had to have bent fins or ??? It`s made in Mexico, and a 3 core. By...

    Summit Radiator?

    I was in Reno yesterday, and stopped by Summit Racing . Talked to the manager about how the radiator was shipped, and asked him if maybe he or the head office could talk to the company that packages and ships these things from Texas, if maybe they could Gorilla proof them a little better. Told...

    In an earlier post you mentioned it is hard to put liquid into the cylinders. I use one of those Meat Syringes to squirt it into a GP hole. The $ store use to sell them, haven`t seen one in there since the Covid krap. Wally World has them but about $7. EDIT: I use the syringe say I replace the...

    Need a IP Adjustment Tool

    The 2nd video I posted in post#30, he shows to connect to the #1 Injector line near the Injector. Clean off the paint (sand) down to clean metal. Then connect the Pezo adaptor to the clean metal. He is using the Feritt timing set up, (NLA) . I assume yours is similar? The Feritt has a loop of...

    So what did you do with your truck today?

    Auto Tires and Trailer Tires are made differently. Trailer Tires should not be used on an Auto/Truck. And Auto/Truck tires should not be used on a Trailer. Even has it on the side wall of the Trailer Tire. Has something to do with side wall flex as I remember. Maybe in a temporary situation to...

    CDD injection line issues

    I did not know that, thanks for the picture. Always learning something new about these engines. Also not all trucks came with the Timing Adaptor. My 86 does not have one. Trying to tweak and bend the new Chicom hard lines to fit correctly, would be a P ITA to get them to line up and screw the...

    CDD injection line issues

    I bought a set off E-Bay, only for the Line Clamps, new line set cost the same as just the Line Clamps. Iam sure all the one`s on E-Bay and CDD are made in China. Later I`ll be out in the shop and will check the lines I have against the old one`s I have. Here are some E-bay listings to give...

    Summit Radiator?

    Summit Racing is just 60 miles north of me. If I bought one be good to pick it up there and open the box to check for damage. VS Fedex delivering it to the house, and banging around in their delivery trucks. Every time they deliver here, it`s just a pile of box`s in their vans, piled on the...

    She just... died....

    Any type water separator filter, you open the drain c ock till you see fuel coming out. You don`t drain the whole thing. As mentioned water is heavier, and drops to the bottom of the unit. The one on my 86 when I bought it was already disconnected and the 2 hoses connected together. I deep 6`d...

    2KW Block Heater?

    I should have mentioned, you are going to loose a bunch of coolant either installing the Block heater or the one for the lower Radiator Hose. There are 2 brass plugs on each side of the Engine, take a 9/16" as I remember. Prepare for a lot of Coolant. Don`t need to remove both for the BH, but...
