Technical What are you working on?

I set up my old Delco tach drive single point vacuum advance distributor the week before last...no machine, just used the timing light, it works pretty well now.

This is a before picture.

 

Pulled the body off my 31 Tudor A to prep the frame for an 8BA, 39 trans, and 40 Banjo rear. Ran out of storage room on the shop floor for the body so now I have a 4 door 1962 Mack B-75.

 

That Mack is Gorgeous!! What engine and transmission are in it??

 

I want a crackerbox with a big screaming detroit

 

well,the dog isn't gold...

 

Truckdoctor thx for the compliment END673 170 HP Double over triplex
Lumpy Speak louder. Spent time around Freightshakers with 8V and 12V71's 50 years ago.
Patsurf Gold dogs came out in 67 with the maxidyne R models

 

thanks for the education-thought it was 'since ever' for 'full mack'...

 

So with the points wired together do you just set the gap and not worry about the dwell. I just set up a GM dual point tach drive with GM style points and it was wired the same way as yours which I found odd. But I only put one set of points back in it so not a big deal. All the ones I have set up in the past had individual lead wires .

 

More Rat motor goodness today.

 

134 Willys

 

Very cool! Is that the Willys Go Devil engine?

 

The military version.
I guess the big difference is the waterproof dizzy and wiring. probably 24v as well.

 

That's beautiful

 

Thanks Lloyd. Going in a slightly off topic Shovelle

 

I’m hot on an O/T shovelle, not that one^^^

 

. Arrangements to have the 50 delivered…

 

We always try and find one of the rental houses when we travel in a group.

 

I bought the black wheel in 2014 from a hamber and repaired it with some two-part epoxy putty from Amazon in 2015. ($50.00) I was lucky enough to find an original horn ring and had it re-chromed. and bought a new horn ring button for it along with the hardware to install it.(NOS) I recently bought the other wheel to repair and purchased a Lime Works horn ring and button. I plan on putting one on my 1950 Ford coupe and the other one in a display case, along with some other 1950 Ford stuff. I am currently repairing and painting both wheels. The horn button in the last picture will be for sale. Sorry, the wheels are not for sale.

 

Careful Anthony, you'll get roused on for speaking Australian calling it a dizzy.

 

Easier to spell

 

Great, now you'll have to explain "roused on" to them all..........

 

DIS-TRIB-U-TOR!!! Sound it out, just like you were taught in elementary school!
Geeze.... how soon sum peepl firgett there book lurnin'

 

At Lloydfest last year Sherry and I stayed in an Airbnb. We liked it and plan to do that more often.

 

Worked on modifying a new Chevy AD chassis to accept a gear vendors overdrive

 

Weekend distraction from the 56
292 inspection. Removing the air compressor.

Used a bore scope and cyls look great. Super clean on the inside. Clean behind the side covers and under the valve cover. Might just do a reseal if the comp numbers are good.
2 plugs had fouler tips. Guess I’ll look at valve stem seals then the guides.
The point mounting plate was loose and the advance disconnected

 

Anthony, is that 292 out of a medium duty C-60 or 70? I’ve never seen a Chevy 6 from an air brake truck! That looks like one tall engine.

 

C60 dump with air brakes. Compressor still pumps. First for me as well. But it’s factory. Cast 6 cyl only bracket and a special side cover with oil return. The pump is plumed into the oiling system.

 

Whats it going in?

 

My sons 61 Chevy c40 has my 350 in it. The 350 has a mild cam and 461 heads. Kinda doesn’t like lugged around in the big truck. The plan is to use the 350 in the wife’s 56 and put the 292 in the truck.
It was born with a 235 and I almost put a 261 in it. The 292 is cheaper and easier.
