how far does gas pedal travel? I just re-installed and it is about 1" and seems short from what I remember. Linkages all work from engine bay, but I can't see them from the cab when I step on pedal (waiting for someone to stop by so I can watch from engine side what happens).

check for the coil shorting out on the distributor housing. Where the coil lead passes thru the dist body there is a bakelite insulator that gets really brittle over time. If the insulator breaks the coil will short and you will get no spark

my half ton had 60's for tire width and air pressure made a huge difference in turning when stopped. At about 38 psi it wasn't too bad. The steering wheel was like my TPMs, at 20 psi almost couldn't turn it. on a side note: my one ton has the skinny tall tires at 80 psi and it turns easily

one more year and it will no longer be visible.

Its been mentioned before but I finally saw it last night , this is Cousin Strawberrys from Cheech and Chong Up in smoke

Just thinking outloud, the 6 volt was a positive chassis ground, but I guess the alternator,starter etc are not chassis ground but cable ground so they could be attached to a 12 volt negative ground??

that makes sense.

Sitting in traffic and every light change I hear cars starting as they shut down at traffic lights. I was told that there is more wear on an engine during starting but traffic lights are only a 1 minute or 2 shut down. My work is about 8 miles 12km from home and I counted I would have shut off 16 times on a one way trip so 32 starts per day. Am I just old or does this just seem wrong ? Are the starters re-designed for this kind of duty cycle? BTW this is no criticism on pollution, just thinking out loud about starting my car 640 times a month.

my only thought would be on flex, the jb weld and support plate can't flex so this could be a point of failure. If the break occurred from impact damage then probably no problem, but if the area is subject to vibrations, stresses and flex then you could have a problem.

I'm not an expert but I believe most parts are interchangeable. I had the 25" block in mine and swapped to the IND-251, I swapped the intake/exhaust manifold all fit. And the oil filters were aftermarket. I also had to swap the oil pan from the original 230 truck motor. So not sure what the B is for, but I would say yes

great story, also Brad won the Cup in a dodge, it was the last year they ran Chargers in Nascar. So this is probably the Dodge set up.

Just came back from Drive In movie set, they are filming TV series "Grease rise of the Pink Ladies" for paramount +. 139 vehicles. This Fargo is not mine, as a One ton I got put in the back row as I sit higher . Saw at least 4 other PH's going to be interesting in what makes it to Tv.

I agree that they were engineered with step bore for a good reason. Dodge was selling these as capable of hauling a ton. I have only had about 400-600lbs in mine (with the factory brakes) and it is a huge braking and driving difference from being empty. If the goal was to use it as a hauler I would follow everything the original engineers did. If the goal is to drive it with no load, I would be a bit more open to changes.

It was wondering today while I was pumping gas into my 1950 B2D what gas cost in 1950 and I found a figure of .22 cents per gallon. So if my truck was $1400 in 1950, but instead of buying the truck I just bought $1400 of gas which is about 6000 gallons that 6000 gallon tank would have a value of $40,000 (our gas is $6.42 per gallon) today. I would still choose the truck, and driving over the gas but thinking maybe I should put a gas station sized tank under my backyard.
