  1. Here is a link to look up filters by size. https://www.wixfilters.com/Lookup/FilterBySize.aspx Should help
  2. I ran mine like yours and it drew a lot of oil so I think it is better to plumb it to the air filter, unless there is some sort of mesh at the road draft fitting to catch oil mist. Do you have a filter at the oil breather cap?
  3. I used a GM 3 wire 12 volt and fabbed a bracket. I also still use the ammeter and a voltage gauge and idiot light. Here is a good article on alternators. http://www.madelectrical.com/electricaltech/onewire-threewire.shtml
  4. JB, can you decipher what is printed under FILTER 1265706 ???????? I know across the bottom it reads; Deluxe Products Corporation La Porte Indiana??? I can also see in your photo where it is stamped Outlet (vertically) just under the fitting opening. Thank you for the actual dimensions.
  5. Here is a link to an article about the JC filter cartridge issues and some other helpful info. http://www.secondchancegarage.com/feature-articles/sock-filter-1.cfm From the rusty imprint on mine it appears the decal was 2 1/8"x 4 1/2". The decal has a Mopar part # 1265706 and I'm not sure that shows up in any Mopar reference books.
  6. Does anyone know if this decal is repopped? It is specific to the JC type Deluxe filter and Mopar. Maybe someone has experience having waterslide decals made.
  7. I would mark the shackle with some chalk, take it apart and hold it out the correct distance from the spring so the bushing seats all the way. I guess the older trucks don't have a dust cover on the shackle and that may be why it is more difficult to install.
  8. IIRC the installation should go like this, shackle mounted to the spring, other end of shackle to the frame mount and lastly other end of spring to the frame mount. Be generous with the grease.
  9. I suppose a solution to this would be to machine a relief in the lower bearing housing to flip the bearing 180* and line up the oil groove.
  10. Without tearing into the transmission that is a great solution!
  11. My concern was more about the fact that the oil groove in the #1 main bearing lower half doesn't line up with the upper half, but if replacement bearings don't even have an oil groove at all then it must not be that critical. There is only one way to correctly install the #1 bearing halves. Bearings 1 through 3 have holes in both halves. I spoke with someone at Bernbaums (Gary?) and he said that was normal.
  12. You might look at this thread over on the car side.
  13. I will be doing mine also at some point.
  14. Someone had a thread on rebuilding their engine/trans (Beebe?) and pulled that part, cut a groove in it and reinstalled it with an o-ring on it, that seems like the best fix.
  15. Here is one that Oreillys sells, they have many different ones. https://www.oreillyauto.com/detail/b/murray-climate-control-5217/air-conditioning-16770/blower-motor-12457/0da7cd2eedaa/murray-climate-control-blower-motor/pm354/4781897
  16. I added a ground strap from the engine to the firewall and from the engine to the frame.
  17. Another option to consider is the fact that the "button" on the starter that the stomp contacts can be screwed in or out to advance or retard the point at which the starter begins to rotate and you might want to stomp a bit more vigorously when you start the truck so the starter doesn't spin without being engaged to the ring gear.
  18. Car is looking sweet! Does anyone repop those '35 ford air filters?
  19. Can you access vacuum off of the carb you're not getting distributor advance from?
  20. I'm getting ready to assemble my 230 and also have a George Asche dual 1bbl intake and split exhaust manifold, do you have any pointers and how does it perform compared to the previous engine?
  21. Maybe a VDO PM354 or at Oreillys as Murray PM354.
  22. Another good product for preserving the finish is Briwax, it is basically beeswax and carnauba wax. Rub it on, buff it out and you're done. Get the clear (they offer colors for furniture finish repair).
  23. The mopar truck heater is one option but I think most of them were aftermarket parts anyway. I have one in my truck that is unknown as to the manufacturer but looks at home In the truck. There is an on/off switch that mounts to the lower edge of the dash but yours may also have a cable control for defrosting/venting.
  24. This might be a place to start. https://dcmclassics.com/search?controller=search&orderby=position&orderway=desc&search_query=Escutcheon+&submit_search= Good luck!
