Why have I got such a hard time to finding these turnlights that bolt on top of the Guards?? Any one of you can give me link to any shop that sells these and ships to OZ? i prefer the ones that have a metal back and have a single lens

Looks like you have your work cut out! What ever you do, take lots of pics, and note details of things you remove.

Ask for measurments and se if they are fitting your core..

AAADD* KNOW THE SYMPTOMS......PLEASE READ! Recently, I was diagnosed with A.A.A.D.D.* - Age Activated Attention Deficit Disorder This is how it manifests: I decide to water my garden. As I turn on the hose in the driveway, I look over at my car and decide it needs washing. As I start toward the garage, I notice mail on the porch table that I brought up from the mail box earlier. I decide to go through the mail before I wash the car. I lay my car keys on the table, put the junk mail in the garbage can under the table, and notice that the can is full. So, I decide to put the bills back on the table and take out the garbage first.. But then I think, since I'm going to be near the mailbox when I take out the garbage anyway, I may as well pay the bills first. I take my check book off the table, and see that there is only one check left. My extra checks are in my desk in the study, so I go inside the house to my desk where I find the can of Pepsi I'd been drinking. I'm going to look for my checks, but first I need to push the Pepsi aside so that I don't accidentally knock it over. The Pepsi is getting warm, and I decide to put it in the refrigerator to keep it cold. As I head toward the kitchen with the Pepsi, a vase of flowers on the counter catches my eye--they need water. I put the Pepsi on the counter and discover my reading glasses that I've been searching for all morning. I decide I better put them back on my desk, but first I'm going to water the flowers. I set the glasses back down on the counter, fill a container with water and suddenly spot the TV remote. Someone left it on the kitchen table. I realize that tonight when we go to watch TV, I'll be looking for the remote, but I won't remember that it's on the kitchen table, so I decide to put it back in the den where it belongs, but first I'll water the flowers. I pour some water in the flowers, but quite a bit of it spills on the floor. So, I set the remote back on the table, get some towels and wipe up the spill. Then, I head down the hall trying to remember what I was planning to do. At the end of the day: the car isn't washed the bills aren't paid there is a warm can of Pepsi sitting on the counter the flowers don't have enough water, there is still only 1 check in my check book, I can't find the remote, I can't find my glasses, and I don't remember what I did with the car keys. Then, when I try to figure out why nothing got done today, I'm really baffled because I know I was busy all day, and I'm really tired. I realize this is a serious problem, and I'll try to get some help for it, but first I'll check my e-mail.... Don't laugh -- if this isn't you yet, your day is coming!!

Head is of? if so, soak the valves with Inox, or diesel for at least a day, whilest soaking tap (i used a wooden block and a hammer) the top of the valves. Use the valve spring removal tool to remove the springs, becarefull not to loose the retainer bits through the holes into the grankcase. With the springs removed, use a small pincher, crowbar placed between to top of the valve seat and put pressure upwards under the valve stem, keep on tapping the head, its should come loose. Just have patience..

like, do i have to do a lot of changes to it ?

ok, Ill see if I am allowed to take it home and scan it.. Huge job though! Be patient:D

hey folk, have a look at the following pics, i have found this manual and am allowed to copy it.. would this forum be interested, is it of any value to have it listed here.. covers MC, MD, ME, MF, MG, MH, MK

ok, so whats the verdict? will it fit or not?

something missing on the head, see the 2 bolts

Here is the block, its 23 inch

Thanks for that, this morning I am going to have another look at the engine and take some pics..

Nope, the Kew I got it turning free, and then sold it...The problem is that the reconditioner guy is hesitant reconditioning my 218 engine. It took a lot of talking, finally he is goin to do it.. I just buy this P26 engine as aspare knowing it was going.. $150 bucks is ok for that.

hi Tony, if needed, would I be able to use this one in my truck?

I know this is not a parts forum but... Any one here have a set of these type of Fender Blinker lights for my 1/2 Ton 1950 B2 / Fargo truck? see photos

Hi Fargo, And thanks, but 48Dodger is already helping me out..

It shows here: P26, 230 cu..23 Inch http://www.t137.com/registry/help/otherengines/pengines.html Have not measured yet the block as I am at work..:

http://arizona.freeautoshopper.com/cars-trucks/2-1950-dodge-5-window-pus-going-to-scrap-if-i-dont-sell-soon.html

The 218 is a Canadian long block..25+inch, not sure what the P26 is, will measure tomorrow. and see what trans was used..The Bell housing is still on it. As for the comments, Thanks!, but I am already lost when you talk about a Pilot Bushing (type of airoplain?) and the bore bit.... I am sorry, you have to explain this to a total dummy.. ME!
