  1. That is great, but If it doesn’t work ....... I am a fan of supporting the site if possible
  2. I did the ones in my 1ton with the motor in the truck. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=NVnDWdJrQBk&feature=youtu.be if you drive them with the cam and tappets still in, you’ll need to break them off mid way. I used a vibrating saw to score them before I snapped them. and yeah, prep that baby like it is going into surgery ? I plugged all the possible holes with towels, wrapped towels behind my work area and then I used tin foil to hold it in place. oh yeah, I also bought a driver and setter I was pleasantly surprised how much abuse that block took
  3. How much of the old stud is sticking out? not second to last, but I have welded a broken bolt on and had success ?
  4. Looks like the shop Manuel calls it in “Airdome” http://dodgepilothouseclub.org/know/manual/Fuel_pumps.pdf
  5. Dodged you’ll be fine with the doors at 7’ i’ll guess my one ton (on the left) is 6’6”All of us are a little over 6’ tall in the photo (except not sure about Joe on the right) hey Ed, see that photo came in handy ?
  6. Ok, last video of my 6v positive ground system being ran off 12v battery https://youtu.be/kCR6qPUjyYQ hopefully this one is more clear and you can see it only takes one wire from the coil to the battery….. nothing else hooked up. Keep in mind though, don’t just leave the coil wire hooked up to the battery without it running. (Or at least trying to start it) The coil will get hot. Example = don’t hook it up and the go make yourself a sandwich ?
  7. Hagens Auto Parts https://hagensautoparts.com/ Sadly it appears Hagens is permanently closed ☹️
  8. Wow, I didn’t realize that was an actual tag....... my b3b, someone hand painted the 6000 on the bed sides. You do good work Brad!
  9. Yeah! ? Rob and I are not going to let you over think this. ? use a can like Rob said… will tell you if the pump needs attention or the carb or timing etc. ( the crowd is chanting…… do it, do it, do it ?)
  10. Sweet! You had mentioned using a 12v earlier…. I guess I thought that was what you were doing all along. ? Lol, would you please fire this up! I am on the edge of my seat over here. from what I have seen, the brakes can be your biggest budget item (as it should be) but, for me they have always been after 20 or 30yrs sitting not the 5 or so years this one has been sitting. ( start it up!! ?)
  11. I agree, All three of the videos I have posted on this thread was using a 12v battery, I like to use a 12v to take the possible electric issues out of the equation (why I disconnect the ignition wire from the starter) get it running good off a 12v, then hook up the 6v system on a fresh battery. has worked for me
  12. Lol, yeah I said solenoid but, meant starter switch…. I’ve had a coupe corroded to where nothing would work. Just a thought
  13. I have started a few of the smaller flatheads without the generator and VR being hooked up. I usually disconnect the ignition wire from the starter
  14. Thank you for specifying 1/2 ton ground to the transmission. The B3/ B4 1.5 and 2 ton (and a couple others) ground to the frame with a 12” long cable Right or wrong, I’ve used jumper cable on the starter outside the truck to see if it worked https://youtu.be/59y7tET47zw
  15. Sweet! Sounds like your set. ? just so you don’t think I was trying to mislead you, I was only telling my experience on my B4GA and what the shop manual says http://dodgepilothouseclub.org/know/B4_manual/B4_brakes.pdf I really need to not respond, I just seem to confuse things. keep on truckin ?
  16. i have gone through two of mine not much to them….. sorry I don’t have a service manual for the 47 but, the B series also has an inline check valve along the frame on the passengers side that I’ve also taken apart and cleaned up
  17. The B4GA should be 1-3/8” straight bore front and rear
  18. Yeah that doesn’t sound right… so it doesn’t look like this?
  19. If you don’t make your own, try DCM https://dcmclassics.com/engine-parts/291-e-540-engine-crank-handle.html
  20. Looks like 3/4” round stock with a 5/16” pin almost 2” up from the tapered end
  21. Lol, visual aid https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=rYdgJk645X0
  22. We have all had bad days/weeks/months i like the saying “it’s not the load we are given but, how we carry it” ? myself, I like the PM feature
