I will double check wires, but I numbered the plugs and wires prior to removal. Yeah I meant the water pump. What ever is bubbling out is oil or gas. It does not smell/ look or smell like antifreeze. I know my readings are low, but I need to get a new tester tomorrow. Mine got returned to me...

Started right up with smooth idle. Let it warm up for compression test. As it got hotter, the black bubbling ooze began from the front of the head. All cylinders 90 -100 psi w/o oil. Tried pulling air it cylinders with valves closed to see if a valve was not seating. No noticeable results, but I...

New update... Guess I will be starting a new thread soon... Left this morning for a show..Truck started and ran fine. Got about 2 miles from home when it started to miss and pop under load. Seems to be a little low on power. I limped it home.. There seem to be a slow bubbling leak coming out...

Autolite 2245.. Saturn surplus has them on eb*y at $15. Each.. Supposedly autolite recent discontinued them. Make sure vent lines are correctly hooked up from carb horn to distributor. The coil will overheat (especially the new aftermarket chrome ones).

Make sense..thought I was going crazy. I will pull it out later and recheck. I Had looked into the spark plug socket while turning the fan by hand. Swore I could see part of the piston moving up and down but I could be wrong..After all it is summer and with 4 kids home and 3 puppies, by the time...

Pump and distributor are correct. Distributor is correct for #1 plug. My #1 piston seems to hit Tdc before #6. Just pulled cap to recheck rotor orientation. Got me baffled good....truck runs great and has for years. I guess I'll follow my grandpa's motto..."if it ain't broke then don't fix it.."

That's what I though. Is the crank a 1 piece design or a pressed together multi piece unit? My first thought when I saw it was a broken piston..but it goes up and down as you crank the engine. I have seen cracked Pistons in wave runner motors. The piston stops at the highest point or bangs...

Hey all... Puked my shiny chrome coil after 7 years of service during the 4th of July parade. I replaced it with a good take out coil, and reassembled w/o a problem. Here is my question... Number 1 cylinder is not in line with number 6. #6 lines up at tdc. #1 is significantly before the...

Congratulations.....

Who knows? Either way it won't have to be hashed out until the late fall. They have an auto auction in September. If it does go in, I will insist that I am present for all starting and moving. The old girl is finiky with the choke when cold. Add in the master disconnect, key and starter button...

I'm going to give it serious consideration but it would be hard looking at an empty garage​ bay.

The truck and I attended a show at the local Auto Museum yesterday. There were lots of spectator questions and positive comments. We did win a judged award...for what class I do not know. Here is my question for fellow enthusiasts..during the show, I as approached by a few museum directors and...

Tough competition this month. Great vehicles and history. I have a soft spot for a fellow Vietnam tribute truck. Bigmike gets my vote.

...not a barn find. I'd call it a "yard" find..Only thing I've ever found buried on my property is construction debris.

Thanks to all. Can't wait to see and vote for the next round. No love at yesterday's show. It ended up being one of those "chrome and motor" shows. There was a business there that took a few 360 panoramic shots of the truck but I don't think they will convert correctly to post. Cool to look at...

....who could say no to this face? (Trying alien mind control right now..is it working?). Anyway, thanks to all who see this. Great vehicles again this month.

Preparing for the next roll out.....

Surplus roll of training shock cord with cap and 2 slabs of cake c3. ...It's a good deterant for road rage The grenades, law tubes and claymore keep the birds away.

One last "rally for for Troops". The last picture is from when I "liberated" it from a 10 year garage internment in 2006. Page loaded.

1st show of 2017 Browns Beach on Saratoga Lake NY...100 cars total, only M.V. there. Heard lots of "I remember driving/working on one like this". No negative comments.
