The most efficient setup for performance is probably 3 single barrels, some have had better mileage with dual singles.

Checked with the guru (George Asche) and he says there's not much difference between the cams, so it's most likely that the Dodge cam was probably the part that was to hand at the time. Thanks for your replies.

Sorry Here is whole truck pic

Yup... I see he's back on here. I guess that harsh Texas winter had him holed up and hibernating.

I'm 71 years of age and I drive one of my 9 Cars every day I use all of my cars in TV & Movies....

If you look at my older posts, you’ll see that I joined up for a different reason, but I’m glad I did. Late last fall, I purchased a 1960 Dodge D200 Utiline pickup from a friend. It was running when he bought it, but a broken weld on the radiator support dropped the radiator into the fan and it has been sitting since. It’s nothing fancy, but it will make a solid transportation/work truck for me—preferable to a used Dakota, S10, or Ranger and all the associated electrical gremlins of older late-model vehicles. To get the truck back on the road, I need to troubleshoot the rear lighting (I have taillights, but no brake lights), replace the fuel tank, fix the radiator, and re-do the shift linkage. That last bit has proved to be the biggest hurdle. The column shifter on the T85 was removed by a previous owner and discarded. I have most of the missing pieces gathered up, but I’m still in need of a control rod and a shift lever before I can replace the floor shifter. I know the Power Giants are a little late for this forum, but as the last of the flatheads, I figure the folks here will appreciate them a bit more than the Sweptline folks. This one is going to remain all stock unless some deviation aids keeping it on the road. The only possible exception is if I get a wild hair someday and decide to attempt putting a Megasquirt EFI system on the 230, and perhaps an Edgy high-compression flathead. No questions currently, I just wanted to say hi. Thanks for looking!

Couldn't think of any other way to properly clean these tubes for the oil pickup..... Necessity is the Mother of invention they say. Everything for the front is sorted out. I'll get it all installed next Saturday. Still plenty to do though....

Well it took me a while to post it but as promised here one of the pictures with us in front of the 52. Just a couple of youngsters. Kind of a shame we covered up so much of the cab lol.

If the battery is good and fully charged up you can do a very simple test. Leave the battery disconnected and make sure everything is turned off and then hook up the ground cable. Then just lightly brush the other cable to the other battery terminal........if you get any kind of spark then there is a load on the system. If this is the case then you need to isolate the item that is draining your battery. This is very old school but I have used it over the years with good results. Jeff
