Can this be removed? I need to get to the freeze plug behind it. Thanks.

I'm trying to get a gallary album started and the link takes me to blank page? I turned off my popup blocker and still no go. Any ideas? Thanks, Sam

OK. I popped out the 5 plugs on the left side, and have flushed out the water jacket the best I can. I removed the inlet pipe to look at the thermostat. Cleaned all that stuff out and even though I dont think the thermostat is bad (I put it in a boiling pot of water to watch it open) I got new one when I went to O'rielies for the plugs. The plugs look the exact same size as the old ones but I'm having trouble getting them seated in order to punch them in securely. The size I bought were 1 5/8. Does anyone have a part number for these or know if the size is right?

Ed, Thanks. I tapped it out and man was there some gunk in there. I flushed it out with a hose and ran my finger around it trying to pull out as much debris as I could. Do all those plugs give access to the coolant chamber, or water jacket? (I don't even know what it's called.) I could not find a diagram that showed the cooling system beyond the water pump. When installing the new plugs do I just set them in and tap them in with a hammer? Is there a gasket with it? I learned something today! Thanks Ed. Sam

Yes, It was a core plug, on the oil filter side about half way down, almost right behind the oil intake shaft.

I was cleaning off the engine, sprayed it with degreaser, took at it with a copper brush and sprung a leak in the side! Figured out it was anti-freeze. 1) Did I screw-up by cleaning with a copper brush and is the engine that soft? 2) What do I do now? Any advice apprecitated

I was looking at the offering at Rhode Island Wiring and they offer the harness in seperate pieces of the truck. If I am planning on rewiring the truck but am on a limited buget can I do it in phases or should a guy do the whole this at the same time. (This is not a frame off deal. I'm just trying to get it reliable.) Thanks

I used a finishing nail which I bent to shape... but as my truck is having issues with the fuel system (I think) take that for what it is worth. Sam

I'm new on the forum and truck club (In December). I purchased a '49 B-1-D in the fall and have been tinkering on it since. This morning I attempted to tow start it and was successful as it idled fine when being pulled. However, the accelarator seemed to kill it. After having running on and off for about 10 minutes I thought we could try and cold start it again but it still would not start. I've been told to put a 12 volt system on it but I don't want to unless I need to. I would like to at least get it up and running before I do that. I'm looking for any suggestions to get her to start without the pull. Sam
