tomater48

Hey all. Was curious if there was any mechanism for tracking the history of the vehicle. Really have become attached to the old B1D and was curious as to its past history and owners etc..... Assumed there might be a way to do that via internet? Thanks

Stevenelle - WIll be checking the timing and advancing the spark. I think you and Merle may be on the mark. It is curious that it seems to have plenty of low end torque - the advanced spark may just do trick. Thanks again.

Hi Merel - Thank you for the sage advice. I was not thinking timing - but can see how that would do it. I do not get much blow-by at all and it does not smoke. Will check out timing and points.

Have 1948 that starts and runs quite well - but seems to strain going up hills. Did compression test which resulted in the following (dry/wet) Dry Wet(30w) 105 112 100 110 98 110 90 105 65 78 100 108 Any thoughts on if 1) the one cylinder could be cause of low power 2) What first jumps out at members that might be causing the problem 3) Truck starts and runs really well - should I fix or leave? Thank you!
