Thanks for posting the video, Rockwood. I have been on those highways around Winnipeg and being able to watch you traveling on them in your Fargo was a real treat!

I got my carb kit from Mike's Carb Parts. I have a Ball and Ball E7T1 and the kit number was K1142. I found it quite satisfactory and the rebuilt carb works good.

Jeff, I used this tire calculator, http://www.discounttiredirect.com/direct/infoTireMath.do , changing just tires from 75 series to 60 series seemed to give you about a 10 percent drop in speed which would be close to giving you the change in ratio. But my math may be wrong so you better check the numbers.

Thanks Mike! This is great to know.

I found the chrysler part number 635 537 in the parts list and crossed that to a raybestos WC3595 for the left front and left rear wheel cylinder, which as far as I can tell, crosses to a NAPA number NUP3595, which is a 1 1/4 by 1 3/8 cylinder. Similarily the right front and right rear is a raybestos WC3596 which crosses to NAPA number NUP3596. Does anyone here know if I have got it right? Thanks for your help.

I found it! It's a great site for information I need, thanks very much.

Is that the search box at the top of the page? I tried that but it didn't yield the right results. It is possible I somehow made a mistake.

I have been following this thread as I have to fix the brakes on my B2D (Fargo version of it), so the NAPA numbers for the wheel cylinders would be a real help, MBFowler. My local NAPA can't seem to find any numbers but I suspect they don't know how to search for them. Thanks for your help.

Jeff, you will probably see a very noticeable improvement when you install the heat shield and spacer. I installed one in my inline 6 ford engine in one of my trucks and it completely solved the problem of hard starting when hot. I will follow what results you get and if it works then I will install a similar system on my Fargo. Very interesting thread.

Thanks, great to know.

Those prices seem really good compared to some auto stores here in Canada. I need to order some brake parts for my Fargo and was thinking about Rock Auto. Did you have to pay duty to get the parts across the border?
