Honeywell, Flame Safeguard Relay file works well - just don't file off the silver plating on the points - it's thin. Charlie Stephenson

Fiddy B2C yea right, I tried to post to classifieds - took my concussed brain weeks to figure it out, ask for help - felt like I was imposing - instructions were written in a different culture than I under stand - raised more questions than I felt comfortable asking - gave up Charlie Stephenson

I've heard a throw-out bearing whistle - a chug? does the chug have a feel to it? or is the power pull feel smooth? does the chug noise change with the gas peddle position? Charlie Stephenson

I agree 100%. Charlie Stephenson

I have a 10 10 265 crank and rods. Charlie Stephenson

I'm looking for 1954, 55, 56 Dodge 4.5 ton 10 wheel Semi Tractor with a 413.16 --- any chance you seen one? Charlie Stephenson

IMHO - contact area not as much with a set screw as with the engineered jam nut, the horizontal thrust is also crucial, IMHO... Charlie Stephenson

Thank You for the come-back mlozier76. I would appreciate you passing on my best regards to Mr. Phillips if you should speak with him. Surgery is a trauma handled differently by each Patient, may have had a part in his decision to retire I know mine has taken years to come back and continuing efforts to recover back to pre op state of mind, with excellent therapists I have regained new perspective and some say improvement over pre op state of mind. Just a FYI on surgery-IMHO. Please Keep in touch with up dates with your Flat 6 encounters. If you see, hear, or bump into a 1954,55,56 Dodge - 10 Wheel Semi - Fire Truck - Cement Truck - M-37 - Farm Truck with 10 Blot six hand hole 20" Bud wheels (the wheels are a good sign that its a 413.16 Flat Head 6) with a Flat Head 6 30" Long engine - With the number Code Number (Serial) T325? stamped in the Upper Left Front of the block, Please contact me. Its been six years of searching in all the wrong places for me. Des Moines Iowa in the phone book. Charlie Stephenson.

Having had 6 phone conversations with Mr. Phillips back in the early to mid 2000's. We shared stories about our completed and pending knee replacements surgeries. At that time he was facing an expulsion of his 30 foot Fan Tail Yate from the harbor (Washington State) and was enveloped with personal matters when he requested that a conversation in the Spring Time would be better than now. Purchased the exhaust manifolds, valve galley covers and intake water fed intake heat riser kit. Then came the Spring Time, time to purchase the Cyl head and tri-power he had disappeared from public life, best efforts were expended to reestablish contact with Mr. Phillips fell upon weeks of despair. Your post was the first time the name "Phillipe Performance" has been on this screen in years. Tom Bryant (Ply-Do) and I both knew Mr. Phillips. When Mr. Bryant passed, hoped that his estate may of had the molds, but, in speaking with his widow the estate had been transferred without much fan fair or public notice. Now according to your reporting some one else has the molds Know? The exhaust manifolds have been on e-bad in the recent past for an asking price of around six hundred dollars US. A conversation with you and the mold owner would be very interesting? Charlie Stephenson

WOW THANKYOU. Charlie Stephenson

This may have already been mentioned - if you lose the drive shaft connection to the rear end, you also lose the Parking pawl, and the rear transmission drum brake. It happened to me with my 53 Dump truck, Air pressure down, meant - no brakes at all. Long story. Charlie Stephenson

What numbr on the DFV. Charlie Stephenson

Heat the block up with an external heat source to 200 degrees Fahrenheit, then rock it, If it doesn't run well after freeing it up, then restore it. My 33 201 didn't smooth out for 10 miles, but after that it's been on 125 mile road tripe, it works til it don't then well fix er up. Charlie Stephenson

Heads off - good fork bar the valves u can - lifter covers off - good raise the valves u can until all valves free - then nudge pistons by rocking. I've used Knockerlose Krol molasses & RO water r 10- 1 electrolysis turn down fence posts for a wood wedge to encourage the pistons to remember what they have done for 50,000 miles +_ .Charlie Stephenson
