What a nice stock setup

[Frank Elder]

I have never seen these in person but assume they are factory Big Truck items?

I am amazed at seeing such a manifold setup posted along with data tags of a 3/4 ton M37

Factory manifold set for 2-1/2 ton trucks...1953 through at least 1956. Fitted to the 265 engine only not the bigger 30" Moly block engines which also had twin carbs and exhaust ..

Think I have a beautiful 1-11/16" Dia recently rebuilt Carter Ball & Ball it's a E9G1. It ran on my B3B but unfortunately for me it's for a bigger boy. I would trade it for an equal shape (good) DTE-1 which is spec for my B3B.

 

 

E9G1

 

 

My current carburetor an E7T1 has a 1-9/16" throttle bore which is correct, but I haven't delved deep enough to find out if there are jetting size differences between the DTE1 and E7T1 I'm running

 

I do have a good deal of Carb Info and Carter Specs if you need to refer to them.

I'd love to find some charts for the 23" block L-6 engine like those for the bigger industrial engine.

 

Interesting that the curves for "continuous BHP" end at 3200 RPM. That adds weight to the thought that running the engine at 3200 RPM for long periods of time was within the intended design parameters. For my car that works out to 61 MPH. If I had a 4.11 it would be 65 MPH.

 

Looks like best engine efficiency is between 1600 and 2000 RPM which would be between 30 MPH and 40 MPH with my car's gearing. That sounds reasonable and in line with my experience.
