how would i remove the cam with most of the tappets stuck in place where they are? i tried to turn them with a wrench, but no luck. the cam does move, but it is stuck on the tappets that stick up. this motor was full of water for about 5-10 years, so...

my favorite analogy on this: additives are like buying a diamond-studded collar for your dog, if it makes you feel good, go for it.

mine are autolites too, 306's, runs great on em, mine were $15 total, though. bumper to bumper was the only place in a 15 mile radius that had them around here!
-
alright, got em' all done today. took about an hour of drilling and an air hammer to do it, but it mostly sits level now!
-
that is pretty cool looking, i would certainly have done the same in your case, if i ever make it your way, i would like to see it.

i have the new shackles, brand new ones for some kind of old jeep for $20 apiece, just screw right in! they are about 1" shorter in length, but work perfectly. i just need to figure out how to remove the old bushing from the spring, the remains of the actual shackle are still stuck inside.

Trip to the modern u-pull (on and off topic)

whats really cool is walking through a yard that has been pretty much unknown to the public for about the past 20 years! -
well, finally getting around to replacing the spring shackles on the right side. front came out quietly, back one snapped off after a half turn, so now i have to deal with the spring-end bushing, just took the sawzall to the rest. any ideas for removing it? i was thinking oxy-acetylene, but the springs are heat-treated.

sorry, the attach function didnt seem to work this morning. here it is.
-
okay, here's a picture of my tank, its kinda hard to do much with it with it in the truck! right now, its in the garage for sheet metal and passenger-side spring shackles.
-
cool, can you post some pics as you go?

Dodge half ton in YP commercial

i would agree with young ed, that looks the same as my 41' grille, and i know that after the war they ditched the stainless bars. those trucks certainly do look cool! my favorite is the larger trucks with the 20" wheels, those look really nice fresh from the woods! the fender shape goes perfectly with the paint job(s) -
we used a 66' mustang radiator in mine. works great, smaller in every dimension, easy to make brackets for, only issue is the hose size & thermostat direction. i can get pics if you want.

Why does this keep popping up?
41/53dodges replied to 41/53dodges's topic in Mopar Flathead Truck Forum
the worst part, though, is this is from rareparts.com! -
why is it that most auto parts stores wont say anything about 1953 B4 trucks except: DU DUF DUL DULF EUL WHY DONT EITHER ONE OF MY TRUCKS EXIST TO THE F***ING PARTS STORES??
-
the system will basically just be a centrifugal weight/cam on the crankshaft, that once once it reaches the allowed RPM, will push the exhaust valve open through a rocker type setup.
-
nothing is set in stone yet, but we are attempting to get a 6 HP kohler engine that will be equipped with a hit & miss type system, coupled with a 7 speed bicycle type shifting setup & manual clutch, all on a car roughly 6 ft long and body 2 ft wide, with wheels going out about 1 ft on each side, and one centered wheel in the back.
-
basically, tod's explanation is about right. its BTU's per mile. the issue with water injection is that we would have to carry that water with us, so thats weight. that, and it would be a pain in the *** to rig up with the hit & miss system!

Removal of Front Sheetmetal Advice Needed
41/53dodges replied to Barry Maxwell's topic in Mopar Flathead Truck Forum
maybe torque the head right off! -
its kinda stupid, i know. yes, we can use any fossil fuel. for all they care, we use coal to run a steam engine! but yeah, if we use a fuel that is 2x as efficient, we have to chop our mileage in half to match!
-
im pretty sure that my guy would have signed the thing if i asked! he said" i just did it to see if i could do it!" but mostly the thing would go under the table if anybody important walked in.
-
okay, then tonight i will drain down the coolant and fix it. got some leaking head bolts, too.
-
not quite what i meant, it means if we use a different fuel, we do equations to find its equivelent in gasoline. in other words, if i used diesel, i would have pretty much chop down the results to be the same as gasoline. btw: I HATE DOING MATH.
-
what about it? does the bolt go through or not?
-
there is a bolt holding my manifolds on, the one towards the middle-front that sits between the manifolds, and it is leaking some fluid onto the manifold. would this hole lead to the water jacket, or is there something seriously wrong?
