    It has been many years since I have made a living installing brakes back when disk brakes were just becoming very popular . Back then I would put the goop on every pad every time . If I didn't use the goop , very often the noise was a very terrible screech , not just a rattle or a click . Perhaps times have changed and parts have improved . Of course all sound is vibration . Does anyone else still use the goop ?

    One member reported excellent results with Tuff Stuff found in Walmarts Auto Department or O.Reillys .

    " ... The calipers for my Scarebird Disc Brake conversion kit were specified to be Napa 442-2046 and 442-2047 whose application is 1983-92 (Chevrolet) S10 ..." So will you be running Chevrolet rims on the front and Dodge rims on the back ? Carry two spares ? Buy the special rims that will fit both bolt patterns ?

    Did you put any of the anti - rattle goop on the back of the pads ? You smear it on and let it get semi dry . Better safe than sorry .

    Did you see the aluminum radiator on ebay ? item number 162555758432 at $342 . Located in Michigan . Perhaps you can sell some of your other old parts to help pay for it .

    Also some members have reported better temps with an adjustment of the timing . Looks like you may have solved the problem anyway .

    " Maybe I'll go to the dump and pick up an old mattress to lay under the car. When I'm done take it back. " I wouldn't do that , you might pick up some ' cooties ' too .

    " I was hoping to hear from other vintage Mopar owners with the L6, and their temperatures. " My 218 runs at 160 degrees usually , 165 - 170 if I am stuck in traffic . My thermostat is a 160 . My radiator is aluminum and my hood is vented . You mentioned that some engine work was recently done , if your engine is ' tight ' your temps might come down a little when the engine parts are broken in . Some members have brought their temps down a little with Water Wetter .

    I have a steering wheel that might have come from a Pilot House truck , It is marked with the mopar logo and part number 1194926 . Can any one verify that it is from a pilot house truck ? 18 inch diameter .

    I just had four new tires put on my vehicle . I left my hub caps at home because I spot glue them on . Also when I got home I checked my tire pressure and all of the lug nuts for over tightening . No problems .

    I don't know if there is anything here that will help . This is from a very old Motors Truck & Tractor Repair Manual . I see that for the 1937 1/2 ton truck that the engine model number is T38 . T23 , T25 , T68 , T92 , T105 are 201 engines . T38 is a 218 engine .

    There has been some discussion on the forum before on having the ball replaced or repaired . Some people have found that the machine shops don't want to do this repair as it is such an important part safety wise . If you can't find one anywhere else try Rare Parts in Stockton , Ca . 1-800-727-8740 . www.rareparts.com EDIT ; The link isn't the correct business , you might have to type the address into your server .

    I am thinking a heli-coil would be best or you would have to enlarge the bolt hole in the head .

    Does your clutch work ? If not , you can easily remove the clutch cover and look things over while someone else applies the clutch pedal . See what moves and what doesn't move when applying the clutch pedal . Block the tires so that the truck doesn't run over you .

    The two parts just snap together with the bearing in the middle . I once bought about 20 of these plates that were NOS . Almost all of them had to come apart so that I could lubricate the dried out grease in the bearings . I gently pried the two parts apart with a screwdriver , lubed the bearings , and snaped them back together . Sometimes with just finger pressure and sometimes with pliers .

    You might try setting your timing with a vacuum gauge . Try for the highest steady reading . And of course you can use the vacuum gauge to adjust the carb too .
  25. Jerry Roberts
    Yes , it is a press fit and you can usually press them together with just your fingers , or a pair of pliers if the plates are out of the distributor . Sometimes the ball bearings between the two plates can use a little grease . If the plates don't want to stay together you might be able to crimp something a little bit for a better fit but they have to be free enough to turn on the bearings .
